road and about the next morning we
reached the '28-Mile station, another
change station operated by the late A. j.
Vance. After securing breakfast OF sour
dough bread, old-fashioned smoked side
bacon and coffee made with alkali water,
we wrapped a French companion in hay
and gunny sacks to keep him from freez-
ing. We then started again for Fort
Benton and when eight miles from town
met a wagon sent out to see what had
happened ~ us. We changed over to the
extra wagon and reached Fort Benton at
$50 a. m. The thermometer still regis
tered As degrees below zero.

managed to save him from having froz-
en- fingers or toes At that time I had
been in the then territory for about two
and one-half years. Old timers called
new residents pilgrims and 'shave-tails.

mometer registered 80 degrees above zero,
or change of 70 degrees in four hours.
THE Benton people feared a gorge in
| the river above Benton so much that
men were stationed there with rifles to
warn people. Dynamite was used and
the gorge was broken, with the result
! that the swollen river hurled ice blocks
on both banks from about where the
bridge now stands. The water came up
over the banks from the Overland hotel
with all the stores, saloons and other
places being flooded about two feet. The
lower mail boxes in the postofice were
also flooded.
The terrible weather that winter, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wren, proved a boon to
trappers and warehouses in the spring
were filled with dry murrain hides and
pelts. Hunters and trappers reaped large
profits by skinning deer and antelope for
hides, the animals having died from ex-
posure.
This same winter, 1t was stated, was
made nationally famous by the expert
ence and suffering Of Tom Casey, a
! brother Of the former Great Falls alder
man, William j. Casey. Casey was a
mail cart driver who became lost in the
Portage country. For seven or eight days,
in q semi-delirious condition, he travelled
in a small circle, his horse apparently
being unable to leave the beaten track
During these days of suffering, Casey eX-
listed on a pound Of chewing tobacco.

appear at Fort Benton, the stage COM

Ran1Say:S Boss

CITY Treasurer Edward A.
Ramsay holds the key to the
city Golfers and can prevent
officials from spending a
penny, for these reasons:
The treasurer collects taxes
and divides the money accord
ing to levies among the five
taxing units-city general,
school city, health, park, and
sanitary districts.
The treasurer thus can re-
fuse to turn over this money
to any official he regards as un-
qualified, the stand he takes
as regards Mrs. Maude Duvan,
city controller.
The treasurer also supervises
all expeditures of these five
units. His signature and that
of Mrs. Duvall must go upon
every voucher. He is advised
that Mrs. Duvan does not le-
gally hold office, because she
was appointed by her husband
after his conviction of corrupt
practices, and, therefore, he
would be liable to suit for ap-
proving any action by her.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Louis
Wiley, business manager of the New
York Times, said today, after visit
ing President Coolidge, that the lat
ter had reiterated his belief there
are plenty of available Republican
presidential candidates for 1923.
1.-THE President intimated." said
Wiley, "that there is plenty of avail
able timber for the presidency in
his party"
On at least two previous occa-
sions, President Coolidge had made
this same suggestion in anplifica-
ton of his "do not choose" state
ment. The observation has been
interpreted here by many as
strengthening widespread impress
sion that the President is sincerely
anxious not to be a candidate next
year.
Only last week the President re-
buked Senator Fess (Rep0, Ohio,
for his persistent suggestions that
the President should be drafted"
in 1928.
