omins, and Asssass Of better grass,
followed the sublette cutoff to Cali
fornis. Tks trip occupied three
months and wzs without adventure
except that one night while Epperson
was on night-herd, three renegade
white men tried to stampede and steal
their saddle horses. On this trip they
met the first overland stage coach go
ing east at Green River. The pony
express was stilI running but at Green
River they were just building the
first stage station.
In California they went into Amer
lean valley, Piumas county, and stalk
ed claims, but did not find pay dirt.
They worked and prospected around
until the spring Of 1866 when. having
heard Of new diggings in Idaho and
Montana, they started with q pack
train for Silver City, Idaho. They
arrived there in May. but the snow
was so deep they could do nothing.
Running out Of flour, Mr.. Epperson
tramped eight miles through the snow
to where the pack trains had to stop,
paid $50 for 50-pound sack Of flour
and carried II home on his back.
Mr.. Eppsrson stayed there q month
and during that time helped to dig ont
of the snow mail carrier who had
persisted withia sight Of Silver City.
From this place they packed to
Boise and through the Malade valley
TO Montana, They spent only one day
at Virginia City, which had begun to
decline, then packed on toward Hell

Lucky Soldiers

Winnett. - A great many service
men considered filing on home
stead prior 10 entering service during
the World War with view to having
their service time apply on the home
stead. which in some cases would
mean a prOve-up by the time Of dis
charge. Some Of the boys went to the
land office and filed on anything that
was opsn. One such soldier was Har-
rison Green Of Lewistown. He filed
on what was then known as Bad Lands
and nov known as the Cat Greek field
in Petroleum county. He returned
from service to find that he had filed
on oil land. His royalty check for
1924 was Sse,4s1.2l. the largest roy
atty receipt Of any individual In the
state Of Montana The year prior his
check was $4,000. This year his roy
atty check viii likely take another adj
vance as the Continental contemplates
development in the Cat
Creek field this spring, summer and
fall.
Richard Ide, another Petroleum
county homesteader, who proved up
on his homestead before oil was dis
covered had royalty checks last year
totaling sS5,574.O7 with only 40 acres
Of his land producing.

Of all the oil products on their land

Those Tables OF the Law which

Later our Prophets, In words Of fire,

Besides, our history Is, for all nations,
sacred history par excellence, the sac.

on It, our wandering fathers dispersed
throughout the world, assaulted by the
most terrible tempests that any people
has ever had to endure, have trayersed
these long centuries of agonizing mis-

dreamed of better world. of one in

from generation to generation, to their
children, like torch Of light, without

served in their hearts, the teachings OF
our sacred Scriptures.
It is by continuing these traditions
that you will be able once again to oc-
cupy great place in the world. a place
which is fitting for the descendants of
the Patriarchs, for the descendants of
those who heard the voice of our
Prophets. You will live by the respect
which you will inspire in others, by the
dignity of your lives, the elevation of

RICkENBACKER
SALES At
PEAK
Fall Slump Fails to Appear
and Demand Grows for
Closed Cars

DETROIT, Dec. Business is
wonderful says r. T. Hodgkins,
general sales manager Of Ricken-
hacker Motor Company. In all
the years i have been in this I'M
dustry, / have never known such a
fall demand as we have enjoyed
these last two months.
September shipments Of Ricken-
hacker skies and vertical S'g were
100 per cent over those Of the
same month in 1924. October show
ed 80 per cent increase over
October year ago, and If business
keeps up during the last half of
November as it has shown during
the first half, this month will show
more than 100 per cent increase
over November, 1924.
Instead of s1ackening off as we
all expected in November, each day
shows a marked acceleration,
People need motor cars, they
have the wherewithal to buy them;
and they are buying as never be-
fore.
while this demand at this
season Is unprecedented, there are
several good, sound, underlying
reasons for 1t.
First is the excellent condition
OF general business. Next Is the
big crops recently harvested AM
the resultant heavy buying, espec.
tally In the middle West, and Of
equal Importance is the desire of
every family to have an enclosed
car.
This factor, the replacement of
millions Of open cars with new
closed ones. accounts for business
being better than ever before in
the history OF the industry, during
the fall months.
Looks as IL January ! will find
us swanped with orders instead of
warehousing cars as we always
have tried to do and should do,
against the flood OF spring de.
