Baby Girl BORN Inn Car
Manned After Woman
Rendered Help

A story of timely aid given at a
critical moment by which a baby
girl was ushered into the world and
the mothers life probably saved
was told recently by those who
learned of the incident at a Billings
hospital. The Good Samaritan in
this incident was Mrs. Ralph Bun
ker of Roundup.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker were driving
to Billings and, at a point in Yellow
stone county, they were hailed by the
driver of a small car. He was in
formed them that he was taking his
wife to the hospital but that the
stork was getting the best of the race
and he was at a loss as to what to
do. Mrs. Bunker quickly changed to
the car with the sufferer and with
skill and kindness gave such atten-
ton and relief as were possible un-
der the circumstances. Within a
few minutes a baby girl came into the
world, and it vas held lovingly in
Mrs. Bunkers arms as the journey
was continued to the hospital.
Several hours after the arrival in
Billings, Mrs. Bunker again visited
the hospital to enquire as to the con-
dition of her two patients and was
deeply gratified to learn that both
in excellent health. In graft
.ude to their p%reserver the parents
nemed their daughter Lucille.

FIRST YEARS WORK OF NEW
ASSOCIATION SHOWS VERY
ENCOURAGING RESULTS
T~hirty-six herds were Tested with a
High score for Production Show
ing; Many Pure-bred Animals are
Being Added.

The first annual report of the
F1athead Cow Testing association
which was organized July 4, 1928,
made by e. r.. Ford, tester, shows
that a total of SO herds, containing
$50 cows were tested with an av-
erage production of 7,443 pounds
of milk and 1874 pounds Of
butterfat from PAT cows tested
for ten months or more
Fifty-three COWS and four bulls
were sent to the butcher as culls.
Members of the association purchased
eleven pure bred bulls, six pure
bred COWS, Sc grade COWS and nine
grade heifer calves. Forty-eight
grade COWS and 10 grade heifers and
six purebred calves were sold by
members on the basis OF the testing
records.
While the average cost of produc-
ing butterfat was % 1-2 cents a
pound, the lowest average cost of
production for herds made is Is 1-2
cents and the highest is 80 cents
a pound. The most economical COW
produced b~utterfat at a cost of 10
cents a pound and the most expensive
COW produced at a cost of 46 cents a
pound.
High Producing Herds
The 10 high herds of those tested

Overland Stage drive between the
Missouri river and Pacific ocean
X X 4
Although Colonel Majors made
only one visit to Montana in the
early territorial days-in the spring
of 186o-there are few of the sur.
viving early settlers who have MOI
some recol1ections of the early
freighter, especially those who
came from points along the Mis-
souri, river. Many of these made
the acquaintance and had business
dealings with him when, in the
years Immediately preceding the
Civil War and during that conflict
he was the senior member of the
mammoth transportation firm OF
Majors, Russell & Weddell, the
most stupendous concern in the
United States. The ramifications
of its business extended from all
the known outfitting places on the
river from St. Louis to Omaha, to
every fort, post and important town
in the far western states and terri
tories between the Mexican and
British boundary lines.
Besides the animals employed in
the famous PONY express" service
from the Missouri river to San
Francisco which were purchased by
Ben Holiday when the Overland
Stage line was established, the firm
had at one time over 1000 mules
and $500 yoke of oxen engaged in
freight transportation business.
The risks incurred were great,
out freight charges were enormous
and often, when the Indians we're
unusually bad, ordinary merchan-
1ise was rated from $40 to SIS per
100 pounds from river points to

COMMITTEE PICKED
TO HELP SETTLERS
LOCATIONS
NEW BOARD REPRESENTS LARGE
INDUSTRIES OF MONTANA;
is ADVISORY BODY
VIII Formulate Plans for Extensive
Campaign Looking to the Placing
of Permanent, Experienced Farm
ers on Montana's Lands.

Appointment of a state land set
Element congress advisory board
of members to cooperate
with officials in assisting settlers
to locate advantageously in Mon
tana, has been announced by Presi-
detnt Alfred Atkinson, of the State
Agricultural College at Bozeman,
chairman of the land settlement
congress.
The members of the board were
selected as representative of the
largest industries in the state, Mr..
Atkinson stated, in conformity to
the recommendation of the congress
at its initial session in Helena last
March.
Selection of the advisory board
simultaneously with the appointment
of Louis A. Campbell of Hamilton,
county agricultural agent of Hill and
Ravalli counties, as head of the de-
partment of labor and publicity of the
state department of agriculture at
Helena, indicates, according to state
ments of Mr.. Atkinson, hat concert
ed efforts will be made at once to
carry out a program of practical land
settlement along permanent lines, as
outlined at the Helena meeting.
The advisory board as appointed by
Mr.. Atkinson, and the organizations
or associations each member repre-
sents, are: w. S. Mccormack, Kalis-
pell, national farm loan associations;
w. L. Stockton, farm bureau fedora
finn. Wy 7 IIAnnnr Toilet no nrot
Union; w. A. Seividge, Billings,
Montana Development Association;
H. S. Buell., Bozeman, Montan bank
ers; Ralph w. Reynolds, Lewistown,
real estate men; j. L. Humphrey,
Great Falls, commercial clubs and
farm mortgage bankers.
Aims of the congress as set forth
at the Helena meeting were to make
early contact with the prospective set
tiers to the end that incoming farm
ers might be aided in the selection
of land by all state agencies both
public and private, under the direc-
ton of the state department of agri-
culture. In accordance with this
plan Mr.. Campbell was appointed to
head a department charged with car
rying out tht campaign in co-opera-
ton with more than a score of state
industrial organizations, from which
voting and consulting delegates were
named to assist in the work in all
sections of the state.
Members of the advisory board
will take active part in the land set
Element program of bringing settlers
to Montana by passing IN problems
affecting the various state industries,
securing reliable information rela-
tive to all phases of the plan, and Of
fer immediate assistance to Mr.
Campbell and officers of the congress
in solving all problems arising.
1t is expected the campaign will be
carried on actively throughout the
late summer, fall and winter, look
ing to an extensive land settlement
drive next spring, officials said, in
connection with the northwest rail-
roads.

III pounds of butterfat for II IL
months at a cost of 46 cents a pound,
and another producing 1874 pounds
of butterfat in nine months at a cost
of 43 cents a pound. The highest
producing COW of the association pro-
duced 673 pounds of butterfat at 81
cents a pound and the COW standing
low in cost of production it will be
noted, stood fourth in the associa-
ton for high production. OF the
COWS in the various herds on test
for 10 months, the highest producing
COW of the herd was invariably the
most economical COW in the herd,
even though she received no more at
tention, except for her extra feed,
than low producers in the herd.
Feeding Methods
Alfalfa formed the bulk of the hay
ration for most members of the as
ISOLATION, rs of them in fact feeding
only alfalfa for hay. Twelve mem
bers fed either corn or sunflower
silage. Of the grain rations fed, a
mixture of barley, oats and bran was
most popular. Probably the best
liked ration was one made of three
parts of barley, two parts of oats and
one part bran. Fifty pounds of oil
meal were added to this in some cases
for high producers.

"It was Mr.. Majors firm that
organized and put in the Pony Ex-
Press across the plains and made it
the grand success it proved to be.
1t was his firm that so long and
successfully carried on the business
of overland f~reighting in the face
of every obstacle, and also the
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-08-07

it is an incontrovertible fact that
many citizens who have attained
distinction here in various branches
of industry, commerce and the pro-
fessions were able to point with
pride to the fact that they walked
across the plains, driving a half
dozen yoke of oxen hitched to a
prairie schooner, or sat on the
"near-wheeler" handling the jerk
line on an eight or ten-mule team
engaged in a similar occupation.
1t is not unlikely that some still
live who a remember how Frank
Kenyon, the founder of the first
newspaper in Deer Lodge, would,
when a freight outfit was unload
ing at Dance & Stuart's or John S.
Pembertson's, boast of his ability
to WELD a bullwhip with greater
dexterity than any teamster in the
train, and offer to "set 'em up" for
the crowd if he failed to make good
his boast. Ex-Sheriff Tom Deyer-
mon of Madison county, who estab-
lished the M%adisonian in Virginia
City in 1873, also served a term
with Majors, Russell & Waddell
when they had the contract for
transporting the supplies for Gen.
Albert Sidney Johnston's army
when President Buchanan sent it to
Utah to quell the threatened Nor
mon uprising in the latter part of
the fifties.
Each of the members of this
firm has had a family representa-
ton in Montana among the bust
ness men of the state. Colonel
Majors himself came to the terri
in the spring of 1866, and
with his son established the Vir-
ginia City, Helena & Fort Benton
transportation and Freight line;
relative of Colonel Russell was
a partner in the firm of Pfouts &
Russell at Virginia City IN 1905
and a nephew of Captain Waddell
vas business manager and conf
1ential clerk for Col. Leander M.
the we'll known pioneer cap
talist of Bozeman, for several
,ears prior to 1874.
Colonel Majors had passed the
lalf-century mark in his life when
& Son entered upon the
business in Montana.
The purpose of the venture was to
stablish a communication between
he interior towns of the territory
nd the headquarters of the river
transportation companies at the
lead of navigation. 1t was not a
bowling success" Competition {
.ecame SO great that freight rates !
lmbled enormously and the Col t
mel, after two or three seasons,
bandoned the field to others. t
While his line was in operation, !
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-08-07

however, the Colonel achieved dis
tinction as a record breaker, by
hauling from Helena to Fort Ben
ton the largest single cargo of gold
dust ever shipped from Montana.
The amount, according to F. w.
Warner, compiler of a Historical
Directory of Montana" in 1879, was
81, 100000, which is believed to
have been approximately correct.
The greater part of the gold was
from the Montana bar, a short dis
tance above Diamond City on Con-
federate gulch, with some small
lots from various parts of the terri
tory.
A guard of 30 men, all armed
with Henry rifles, escorted the dust
from Diamond City to Helena, and
these were reinforced by the own
ers of the other gold dust, who pro-
ceeded as assistants to pilot the
convoy to Fort Benton. The treas
ure was shipped to St. Louis on
board the steamer Luella, of which
E. w. McNeal, later of Helena, was
the clerk. Colonel Majors went
down the river on the same boat,
and never afterward visited Mon
tana.
An interesting Renaissance of
the old plainsman is that which IL
illustrates his solicitude for the spir-
itual as well as the temporal good
of his employees. A well known
practice of the Colonel was when a
train was starting out to cross the
plains, to visit the outfit at the
last outpost of civilization, and
when the cattle were all yoked up
and ready to be attached to the
wagons, deliver the train manifest
and final instructions to the cap
tain, assemble the men on the camp
ground, hold a meeting of prayer,
exhortation and singing of hymns,
and at its close deliver to each at
tache of the train a substantially
bound copy of The Bible, ccom
panied with a kindly work of eau
ton and good cheer and invariably
concluding with an admonition to
clay over on the Sabbath when
ever the delay would not be danger
o11s or detrimental TO the Wellbelnp
of the company.
1t goes for nothing that some
cavaliers say hat the Colonel's phi
laanthropy was wasted on many of
the recipients of these books, be-
cause most of them had nc more
use for Bibles than for Fifth
wheels on their wagons" There
were frequent stories that exhorta-
tons and injunctions of his senior
were frequently neutralized by a
subsequent visit of Colonel Russell,
who could tell the wagon bosses
to "never mind what the old man
said about laying over Sundays,
but pop the buckskin to 'em and
put EN- through as fast as the Lord
will let you"
There were also stories that
a man was fired by Colonel
Majors for blasphemy, he was sure
of reinstatement by the captain of
the train as soon as the last flutter
Of the Colonel's coat tails could be
seen returning to town.
