PIONEER OF THE
j. WEST PASSES
Continued from First page)

CONTINUED from First page)
The summer of 1874 he passed
in hunting near Fort Carroll and
in the fall he opened a wood yard
near the mouth of Fourchette
creek, and continued to operate
it for two years.
Subsequently he engaged in the
same line at Fort Peck, from the
spring of 1876 until the fall of
1877, when he went to Bismarck
for teams and supplies, and re
turning to Fort Peck, furnished
supplies to the steamboats, on the
Missouri river between that place
and Fort Carroll until 1882.
Large Owner OF Land
In the spring of 1883 Mr..
Bauer located in his present home,
five miles west of Culbertson,
which was then in Valley county,
and building a toll bridge south
of the Big Muddy, kept it a pay
ing proposition from 1884 until
1887. In 1888 he established a
general store at this place and for
10 years conducted a successful
business. In the meantime his
family had taken their proper al
lotnent of Fort Peck reservation
land and when it was thrown OPP
en- to settlement he secured by
homestead scripting and lease an
additional 500 acres so that his
present land estate comprises L.

Sheep Cattle And Horses
Mr.. Bauer was engaged in the
sheep business on the ranch for a.
few years but sold his sheep to
B. Shaw in 1897. Since then
he has devoted his attention to cat
tie and horses and this enterprise
has brought him gratifying re-

PETITIONS OUT TO
REPEAL DRY LAW

Petitions are being circulated
locally to bring a referendum
measure before the people of Mon
tana at the next election to re-
peal the state prohibition law anc
all measures, except those refer
ring to minors, that concur n the
Volstead law and the prohibition
amendment to the federal consti-
tuition.
In the event such a referendum
carried in this state violators OF
federal prohibition would still have
the federal officials to deal with.
"Light wines and beer" contain
ing an illegal per cent of alcohol
placed on sale would place Mon
tana in the position of defylng
the government.
An Entering Wedge
1t remains to be seen if the pc
titions over the state have a suf-
ficient number of names. Many
names will be checked off because
the signers were not voters. Sign
ing a petition in Montana or any
other state is a long ways from
bringing back light wines and
beer" that can legally be sold.
That can be accomplished through
an act of congress changing the
legal per cent of alcoholic content,
and also the repeal Of the state
laws. Bootlegging illegal per
cent would then be the next prob
lem to deal with. The light wines
and beer campaign is merely an
entering wedge toward bringing
back the old saloon to transfer
the workman's wages to the brew
er's pocket, and the old wash
board to shift the bread-winning
burden to mothers shoulders.

Comparison of Strength
The best comparison of the
strength of the team at the be-
ginning and at the close of the

beginning of the season, by al
score of ~ to 1S; Wolf Point won
the last game, near the close OF
the season by a cor of p to IL.
