If you've been thinking that winter Of
fers you no good salad materials, and
there isn't anything to have but lust
and paper. After you've thought awhile
you can make a long list Of the fruits and
vegetables that you can get at this time
of year. From that list you can make
your own salad recipes. Here are some
OF my suggestions:
Carrot SaIad
Grind four or five carrots in food grind
er Add One-half cup walnut meats cut up.
Mix with MayOnnaise. Make cups Of crisp
lettuce leaves; fill with salad and serve
Chopped celery is good added to carrots
and cottage cheese with carrots is alSG
a good combination. If your teeth are
good simply dice and chop the nuts.
Carrot and Pea Salad
Two cups peas, cooked, two cups car
rOts, cut fine or grated raw, three-fOurthS
cup celery. chopped fine, One-fourth euI
chopped, One-fOurth cup yellow cheese
cut in small cubes.
Before serving toss the Ingredient
lightly together. Arrange on lettuc,
leaves and serve with either MayOnnais,
or cooked dressing.
Apple Brazilian Salad
Wash six eating apples. Scrape out tn,
~centers, keeping the inside as whole e.
possible. Cut the pulp in cubes and mi,
with celery, brazil nuts and salad dress
ing and return to shell. Serve on a mes
Of lettuce, topping with shredded parsle,
if the apples. are red or paprika if the.
are green.
This is very good as an afternoon re
freshment with brown bread sandwiche
or cheese waters, or as the salad cOurs
Of a home dinner.

els. The WELD per acre was low, how
ever. and under normal growing con-
ditions the crop would have been
from Is to 80 million bushels. This
still would have left a wide margin
between production and demand and
it is not thought likely that the de-
mand for flax will fall enough dur
ing the last half-O of the year 1926 to
wipe out this margin. In this case
flax growers again may expect a
price somewhat above the world
price because of the operation Of the
tariff.
Judging the future by the past the
potato situation is not entirely reas-
surfing. The short crop Of last year
has sent potato prices to an ex-
tremely high level. Such a situation
has always stimulated an increased
acreage in the past and it is quite pro
bable that paintings will be increased
this spring If this increase can be
held down to around 10 per cent the
potato grower will have an ever
| chance of breaking even on his cror
but the stimulating factors for in
creased acreage are such that il
does not appear likely that the in.
crease can be held down to such 3
low figure. The greater the increase
above 10 per cent the greater will be
the possibility of a loss in potato pro.
ductiOn next season.

A REVIEW Of the Montana Ag-

Il just issued by Montana State
College, shows the major livestock
enterprises of Montana occupying
just a little better strategic position
than cash crops. The outlook for
the year in general may be described
as Just fair and a little less favorable
than last year. Conservation in most
lines seems to be the safest order of
the day.

Hogs seem to occupy the mast ia

needles, ivory beads and an ivory
tool or ornament that none of the
party could identify. This latter ar
ticle was found by Mr.. Phelan among
the stone Of the presumed fireplace,
and it is not difficult to imagine that
one of the white men of the fort had
bargained it from an Indian and
placed his valued trophy on the man
tie of the fireplace, and amid the con-
fusion Of the abandonment of the
fort it had been overlooked and left
behind.
The article was a flat symmetrical
piece of bone or ivory six inches long,
about One-haif inch wide at the mid
die and tapering towards the ends,
and One-half inches. The face of it
was covered with marks arranged in
geOmetrical order.
No Indian arrow heads were found
by the party but it is not likely tina.
none are to be found there. Since
the relocation of the site of Fort
McKnezie, Mr.. Frank Rowe, a ranch
er who lives across the river from the
fort reported the finding of numerous
arrow heads on the high bluff over
looking the old fort site. No doubt
many an Indian youth spent a Ions
summers day on this bluff peepine
over the ridge down into the stock
ade, noting the activities of fort EN-
plOyees whose weapons spoke like
thunder.
Doubtless Indian arrows were a

that more than 80 years had elapsed

remains could be looked for, but our
search was almost Immediately re-

our satisfaction that we stood on
the remains of Fort Mckenzie.

Schmidt as a committee of two
Il to discover the sites of Fort Nc
Kenzie, Fort Lewis and Fort Piegan
for the benefit Of the old timers who
may wish to visit these historic spots
when with us next summer"
Thus announced the president of
the Fort Benton Commercial club at
a routine meeting of the club held
early in February, 1926. For months
this organization had been planning
and scheming ways and means to
make the 1926 meeting of the Mon
tana Society of Pioneers a success,
when it cOnvenes at Fort Benton
July 18th to 18th. What could then
be more fitting than that these first
settlements of white men in Mon
tana, now abandoned for many de-
cades be relocated so that these pi-
OneeTs who so desire may again visit
the historic places?
No committee assignment was eV-
er received with greater enthusiasm
than this one. The w%inteTless winter
of Montana ("1925-26) was ideal fol-

plans were Immediately laid to per

the committee, by relocating Fort
Mckenzie, the more important Of the
three posts.
Fort Piegan at the mouth of the
Marias river was established in the
fall of 1881 and abandoned the fol
lowing spring. Fort Mckenzie, or

was placed in temporary charge Of
the post one F. A. ChardOn, an able
but unscupulOUs man. Among the
rough characters of his day he was
in a class by himself.
In the winter of 1842-43 a negro
belonging to ChardOn, to whom he
was greatly attached, was killed by
an Indian. ChardOn's evil nature call
ed for vengeance, and with one, Alex
ander Harvey, a desperate of the
worst type, a general massacre was
planned. The plan was to have the
cannon in the bastian loaded with
musket balls trained upon the gate
of the fort when the band Of Indians
came into trade again. When this
entrance was filled with Indians, the
cannon was to be discharged into
their midst. Accounts vary as to the
extent of the massacre but Chitten-
den says the plan succeeded only
partially on account of the failure Of
the cOnspiratOrs to cooperate ex-
actly. ChardOn opened fire with his
musket before Harvey could set off
the amor and the Indians began to
scatter. Nevertheless, three were
killed and three were wounded. This
affair aroused such a feeling among
the Indians that Fort Mckenzie was
abandoned and burned to the ground.
The burning of the fort is evideno-
ed by the great quantities of char
coal found at the old ground level

chievOus Indian lads, but it is i'm
probable that any ever reached the
fort, the distance from the top of the
bluff to the fort being in the neigh
bOrhOOd of 1900 feet.
A striking geological fold or up
lift may be observed just below and
across the river from the site of the
fort. The fold may be plainly noted
in the photographs facing the bluff.
At the middle of the fold may be
found rusty reddish material, indi-
eating that the violent Upheaval of
prehistoric times spewed earth from
the KOOtenai formation which is TWO
thousand feet underground in that
locality.
II will not be inappropriate to re-
tell here the circumstances surround
ing the abandonment of this old post.
Since the establishment in 1888 by
the American Fur company, it had
been a thriving point. Under the su-
pervisiOn of Major Alexander Gull
bertsOn, friendly relations had been
cultivated and maintained with the
Indians, but in the year 1912, there

tween the Teton and the Missouri
rivers and just below a cluster of
small islands. All agreed that it was
on the west bank of the river. Piec-
ing together the various bits of in
formation, we determined that the
fort must have been located upon the
former Rowe and later known as the
Murray bottom. The upper end OF
this bottom is four mills below the
CrO-con-je-nez, and the lower end is
six miles distant from this point of
land. Inversely the bottom is seven to
nine miles above the mouth of the
Marias, there being no other bottoms
of any consequence on the left bank
of the Missouri above the Marias,
save small bottoms nea the mouth
of that river.
Chittenden in his History of the
Fur Trade in the Far West" says,
"In the spring of 1882, D. D. Nit
chell went up the river and built a
new post about six miles above the
! Marias on the left bank of the riv-
er. It was 140 feet square and was
built on the regular plan but with
an exceptionally strong gate prOvid-
ed with double doors. Fort Nc
Kenzie was occupied as late as
1913"

until the year 1843, when it was also
abandoned and under circumstances
hereinafter related. Two years lat
er Fort Lewis was established about
six miles above the present site of
Fort Benton and on the right bank
of the river. This post was aban-
doned in 1916 when Fort Benton, the
natural and official head of naviga-
ton on the Missouri river was estab-
lished.
The historic data available as to
the location of old Fort Mckenzie
was found indefinite and vague. One

being given; a second informed that
it was six miles above the mouth OF
