n French scientist tells us that Mar

the inhabitants Of our planet because
their planet is millions of years older

lists hurl figures around deserves con-
siderable admiration, tho some who
are not scientists would like to be
shown before they believe everything
placed on the market as fact. In fact
scientists are oftentimes anything but
scientific. Whether Martians exist
or not outside the fertile Imagination
of H. G. Wells is an interesting sub
ject for speculation, but a more inter
esting form of activity is getting rid
of the capitalist system and the cap

House of Loreto has large tracts of

rectly through the fierce, and for a
time undaunted savage that stood
before him. For several seconds
it was doubtful whether the old
warrior chef would cover before
his white brother, or meet his fate
then and there"
Although the party escaped with
no casualties in this instance it was
not the end of their troubles with
the Crows. In the second encoun-
ter, which occurred at night, one
man was killed and three were
wounded. Of the latter, E. Bost-
wick, knowing that he could not
live, shot himself, in order not to
delay the others from leaving that
dangerous region.
When they arrived at Banack,
June 22nd, 1868, Stuart concludes
his journal, Everybody was glad
to see us, and we we're glad to see
everybody, although our hair and
boards had grown SO, and we were
so dilapidated generally, that
scarcely anyone knew us at first;
and no wonder for we had ridden
sixteen hundred miles, and for the
last twelve hundred without tents
or even a change of clothes"
The next year Stuart, having re-
moved to Virginia City, organized
a second expedition to the Yellow
stone country, partly to prospect
for gold, but mainly to punish the
Crows for killing his comrades. No
great gold discovery was made, and
the Crows had taken themselves
elsewhere.
Some white men having been

las river in the spring of 1865, by
Blood Indians, it was feared that
there would be an uprising of the
tribes near the border. AS a suit
able person to command in such
an emergency, Governor Edger-
ton commissioned James Stuart
lieutenant : colonel. Fortunately
the Indians returned to Canada, and
war was averted.
The last years of his life, James
Stuart engaged in many different
occupations, and held responsible
positions. He was post trader at
Fort Browning, then the Assina-
boine and Upper Sioux agency,
and from there went to Fl. Peck,
to take charge of the post until a
successor to Major A. ]. Simmons
was appointed. 1t was there that
he died in September Of 1873, but
his body was removed to Deer
Lodge for burial, Judge Hiram

TT WOULD be practically impossible to

markets were closed on account of Labor
pay, but our receipts here were consider
ably lighter than they were last Monday.
but with large numbers at the other centers
the trade went off a little as compared with
the close of last week, especially in Chi
cago, and packers and order buyers here
were very bearish. While they started out

we're very light, and Chicago, with II, 600
cattle reports very little action and a low

choice killers. There were practically no
grain fed cattle on the trade yesterday, but
last Friday we had two loads of baby
beeyes that averaged 775 lbs. and that
brought $1,000 per cwt., straight up. The
best sale of range butcher steers yesterday
was S725, with a good number around I

Park City Boy Leads State
Inn Boys Club Activities

into poultry work. He has been
highly successful in all his ventures,
but his corn club work has brought
him the highest recognition. Each
year since his entrance into the work
has seen his exhibits win at the state
fair, the Midland Empire fair, and
corn show, and last year he gained
national honors by placing third in
the Boys and Girls Club Division of
the International Hay and Grain
Show. At this time he won all the
first and a number of seconds and
thirds with his corn.
The record of the Park City boys
winnings at the various exhibitions
in 1922 and 1928 and the cash re-
turns from his many enterprises
shows that his efforts have been we'll
rewarded. In 1922 his quarter acre
garden brought him $55 and $25 in
prizes at the various fairs. In 1923
n acre of corn yielded better than
"a bushels, and his receipts from this
acre, including $62 in prizes, was
SIPS. His garden this year brought
him returns of $50.80 and $25 in
prizes. His venture into the poul-
try business with 20 hens returned
nlm ptA.lO anu 90 III pTlZ0S.
The effect of Herbert Zwisler's
work upon this community has been
one of the striking by-products. He
has been one of the leaders in intro
ducing corn growing in that part of
Montana, and especially important
has his influence been in encourag-
ing the use of the right kind of ac-
climated seed. In 1928 the farmers
in Saltwater county planted so
bushels of seed corn that had been
grown by Herbert Zwisler.
Each year of his club work has
seen the state champion rise to new
evels. In 1928 he was a member of
corn judging team which won
honors at the State Corn Show, l
in that year he was also a mem
,er of the livestock judging team :
which placed third at the state fair. :
n the spring of 1924 he was appoint :
d club leader for the Park City '
lubs and has developed an excep-
ionally fine leadership ability. This
ear he is a member of and is also
a corn demonstration team I
nd a corn judging team both of :
hich will compete at the state fair
nd the Midland Empire fair. He is
so keeping up his corn and garden
ub work and has exhibits at all the
rger fairs of the state this fall.
