One year ago Theo. S~chweitzer and
Ed. Ellis became somewhat interested
in Gallatin county asbestos. They

property would be a bonanza some
time. Last January they formed the
Gallatin Asbestos Mining company,
Of which Mr. Schweitzsr is president,
T. J. Davidson Of Helena vice presi-
dent, Ed. Ellis secretary ard Geo.

This company has been developing
its property for several months and

Both the Oste0pathic and chiroprac-
tie philosophers are built on the 5as-
sumption that disease is caused BY
pressure upon the nerves emerging
from the spinal cord through the
openings Of the spine. Due to mus
contraction the bones slide upon
one another, narrowing the opening
through which the nerve energies and
consequently creating nerve pressure.
Bones are moved by muscles.
One Of the ways in which these
spinal bones are abnormally shifted
is through the inactive -tenseness in-
duced by the modern motor car habit.
You sit in a chair with muscles
tensed against the jolting motion.
FlexibiIity Of movement becomes the
stiffness Of inadequate exercise.
To drive $50 to 200 miles at {

HISTORY OF THE
CANYON HOUSE"
Early-Day "reminiscences Of a
WelI-KnOwn Gallatin County
Landmarks

The old Canyon House, which was
burned at Logan recently, was one
of the oldest landmarks in this vicin-
ity. It was built in '66 or '67 by
Wright & Knox, and was the most
pretentious building in the ,~neighbor-
hood at the time. It has been Occu-
pied by many families at different
times, both as hotel and private resi-
dence.
Mr.. Hiram Stone lived there at an
early day, and his niece Miss Julia
Stone, a beautiful young girl, died
there, while on a visit to her Uncle's
family. Mr.. Davidson lived there for
a time, and his wife, mother of Ed.
and Cashier Davidson, and Mrs. VIM.
Heron and Mrs. Lille WOlcott also
died there.
It was Enoch Hodson's home for
awhile, and we have heard how the
Indians used to watch the place, long
ing and signing for the scalp Of said
Enoch. That was before he had his
company Of boys to defend him. When
Mr.. Geo. Budd first came to Montana
he lived there for a year or two with
his family. At that time VIM. Good
year, brother of Mrs. Budd, owned
the place.
Mr.. Thomas Dunn lived there in ~,
and Joel Shed, father Of Mrs. Dunn,
died there. Mr.. James Riches occu-
pied the place for awhile and kept
hotel.
In 1875 it was used as a stage sta
ton by Huntley & Clark, and a young
) fellow employed by them was batch
ing there and taking care Of the stage
stock. One bright July day the af-
