Ne VI UNITS FOR
TEMPE COLLEGE
READY IN FALL
Boys DOrmitOry, Training School
and Training Quarters for Ath-
letes to Be Built and Ready for
Students When the Next College
Year Opens.

Two new buildings will be com
pleted and ready for occupancy at
Tempe State Teachers College by
September 1, if present plans of
the college faculty do not miscarry
F. M. Irish, registrar, yesterday an
nounced. The appropriation of
$150,000 made for the college at
the last session of the present Leg
islature assures construction of the
new buildings, Mr.. Irish said, un-
less the appropriation is killed dur
ing the remainder of the session.
He does not believe that is likely
to occur.
The $15O,0OO appropriation is
payable to the college fund in two
installments. The first installment
of $4,000 is payable the first of
next July and the next $75, 200 is
payable the first of July, 1928.
Three new buildings are provided
for in the appropriation. They are
boys dormitory, a training school
and training quarters for athletes.
Mr.. Irish said present plans are to
have the boys dormitory and the
training quarters ready for use by
the opening Of college next fall.
The training school will be COM
pleted rs soon as possible, but it
is not believed it will be ready for
use at the beginning Of the next
college term.
The appropriation made for new
buildings at Tempe by the present
Legislature is one of the largest
ever made for construction of new
units at the Tempe institution, Mr..
Irish said.
The industrial arts building was
the last large unit added to Tempe
State Teachers College. Since this
building was completed several years
ago, appropriations for the college
have covered maintenance costs and
provided for repairs only.
Since it was established in 1885
as the State Normal School, the
Tempe institution has grown stead
lily. New buildings have been
added to care for increased regis
tration until the present time. When
the new buildings now planned are
completed, the college viii have IA
main buildings, Mr.. Irish said. \
The first calss was graduated
from Tempe in 1887. Next June
will bring graduation of the first
four-year class. At this time the
first degree of bachelor of educa-
tion will be granted at Tempe. Up
to the present time, the full course
at the teachers college has been of
two years duration.
About 700 students are now en-
rolled at Tempe State Teachers
College. There are about 100 boy
students at the institution. Most of
these are studying TO become pro-
fessors or taking work to fit them
selves for entrance into higher
studies at universities. The Tempe
college is the second largest State
school in Arizona, ranking next to
the university at Tucson.

STATE COMMAND R
TALKS To MEN Of
VIM. BLOYS POST
Val De Camp Tells Tempe Legion
aires Duties of Good Americans
Praises Success of Late Member
ship Drive.

Val De Camp, state commander of
the American Legion, gave one of
the principal and most appreciated
talks at the "new members" meet
ing of VIM. Bloys Post No. 2 of
Tempe last Wednesday evening in
Curry hall. The meeting was in the
form of smoker and informal get
together for the new and old mem
bers.
De Camp told the Tempe Legion
aires that the first and most i'm
portant problem of every Legion post
is proper care for the disabled vet
Grams Of the World War, the men
who are unable to fight their own
battles under the handicaps left
them by their service in the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps. He said
there are now $500 disabled men in
Arizona and that this number in
creases 300 yearly because of men
coming to this state for benefit of
the climate.
1t is the duty of the American
legion men to teach the younger
generations just what war IS and
what it means, De Camp said. He
urged Tempe Legionaires to teach
Americanism to the younger men
and to at all times try to make the
Tempe post stand for better Ameri-
can state and local government. He
advised against mixing politics and
said this was unnecessary IL the
right men were chosen for offices
Of trust and Importance and prop
erly supported.
The state commander urged Le-
gion members TO teach the younger
generations proper uses Of the Ana-
erican flag and to respect it as the
emblem Of liberty and progress. He
urged all present to foster patriotism
and to keep alive pride in the Ana
erican government.
De Camp spoke briefly Of the
State convention to be held this
summer in Springerville and urged.
Tempe Post to send delegates 70 that
meeting. He warmly congratulated
the Tempe post on it's recent sue
cessful membership contest and
formally presented the new stand
OF colors to the post.
d. D. Douglas, state adjutant, also
was present but did not address the
fifty or more assembled legionaires.
Major Howard F. Wehr1e, reserve
officer of the Army flying corps,
talked about one hour and forty
minutes on progress of aviation
and the present status and possi-
bilities of that mode of transporta-
tion for both civil and military pur-
poses. Major Wehrle told the Leg
ionaires that an air route from Los,
Angeles to Texas, via the Salt River
valley is the most feasible Of any
transcontinental route.
Chas M. Achauer, post commander
opened the meeting and presented
the speakers. Ray Alexander, post
adjutant, was presented to the as
sembled Legionaires. The Rev. Rus
sell Clay, post chaplin, made the in
vocation address.

Foreign Visitors At The State
Department OF Health

Recent visitors at the State Depart
ment of Health have included two
Hungarian health officers and one
from Japan-Dr. Francis Hofer, DR..
Charles Schubert and DR.. Kyoge
Kuroda. DR.. Hofer is district health
officer of section containing thirty
five villages, with duties correspond
ing to those of the Deputy State
Health Officers in Maryland, and his
interest lies especially in rural health
work and in public health administra-
ton. DR.. Schubert is particularly in
terested in child hygiene, in child
health conferences, medical examina-
lions of school children and in all
activities relating to the care of moth
ers and children. DR.. Kuroda is
medical officer of health at Toxic and
during his visit to this country has
made a special study of organized
health activities.
The three visitors were much i'm
pressed by the emphasis laid in public
health work in this country, on pre-
venting disease, on keeping people
well, on protecting them against sick
ness and i'll health, and by the meas
ures that are used for the control of
the diseases that spread easily from
person to person, such as typhoid,
scarlet fever, diphtheria and other
communicable diseases. DR.. Hofer
and DR.. Schubert are studying Ameri-
can methods at Johns Hopkins School
of Hygiene and Public Health.

island still remained as late as 1872 and
still harbored eagles, for Captain Roberts,
who saw one there in that year, gave the
falls their name.
On June 30 Lewis discovered Giant
Springs which he called a fountain. In
his journal he described it: THE water
boils up from among the rocks and with
such force near the center, that the sur
face seems higher there than the earth
on the side of fountain, which is a
handsome turf line of fine green grass.
The water is extremely pure. cold n
pleasant to the taste, not being impreg-
mated with lime or any foreign sub
stance"
Meanwhile Clark and his group of men
probably after crossing and recrossing
the spot where Great Falls now stands,
had with much pains worked out a line
Of portage 17A miles in length from Belt
creek to White Bear island. The island
had received its name on the first night
OF the camp when one of the ever pres
ent white bears or grizzlies, for whom
the island seemed to be a home, chased
Willard into camp. Before it could be
pursued 1t discovered Coulter and drove
the future discoverer of Yellowstone
park and the hero of an adventure with
the Blackfeet into ignominous flight
into the river. There Coulter remained
until Clark and three other men drove
off the animal.
A marker on the east bank of the river
opposite what is still known as White
Bear island marks the site Of the camp
and also serves as a reminder Of the in
cident for which 1t was named.

Nav Observe 125th Annjuersar,
G Of DISCOVERY of Great Falls of the Missouri by Lenus and Clark E

These were dragged by the men across
the uneven country, where prickly pear
was thick and buffalo had trampled wet
earth which had dried into hard sharp
points. TIL feet of the men were pro-
tected from the roughness of the trail
by only the thin skin Of moccasins. The
portage occupied most of the time from
JUNE 81 to July 2.
Five markers have been placed on the
portage trail; at the spot where Belt
creek Joins the Missouri, at the place
where the trail crosses the present High
wood road, at the juncture of the Belt
and Highwood roads, at the juncture Ut
the Red road and the Valeria highway
and at the end OF the trail opposite
White Bear island.
Impromptu Dances Held
All the time taken in making the
portage was not wearisome, for the band
included Cruzatte, a violinist. Frequent
ly impromptu dances were held hen
bearded N probably dirty men, with
feet aching and SCARED from the days
work in transporting the supplies, bowed
and flirted as they took the girls parts
in a quadrille.
From July 2 to Is was spent in build
ing canoes. repacking the supplies and
caching some Of them, including the iron
frame Of a BOAT SO feet long which was
brought from Harper's Ferry, Va. No
record OF the frame ever having Deen
removed has been found During the
stay at the island the lives of nearly all
of them were endangered at different
times by bears. hail, cl~oudbursts, extreme
heat, and other adventures On July is
the explorers continued the journey up
the Missouri.
Lewis passed this way again in 1906 on
the return from the Pacific coast; Clark
returning to the Missouri by the Yellow
stone river. On July IL of that year the
old camp at White Bear island was
reached, part of the men travelling in a
bull boat and a made from the
skins of buffalo killed when a herd Of
''at least 10000" were met in the Sun
river valley.
White Bear island was again the scene
of their camp while they waited for one
OF the party. Drewyer, to return with
some horses that had been stolen from
them by Indians near the Dearborn river.
Upon his return they embarked upon
their northern and eastern journey on
July 16. 1t was on this homeward trip
that Lewis with four men explored the
Maria's river. a trip during which they
nearly lost their lives in a struggle with
the Blackfeet Indians.

grandeur OF the Big Falls there could be
no doubt but that the river was the
Missouri and the falls were the ones
the Indians had said they would reach
as the plains rose to the Shining noun
tains. Men were sent back to tell the
joyful news to Clark and the rest Of the
party camped on a small plain.
While his men were busy killing buff
falo and jerking the meat to supply the
party when 1t was again united, Lewis
explored the surrounding country and
discovered the u river which was then
called by the Indians the Medicine river.
The trip of Captain Clark up the river
from the Maria's was by no means I'M
eventful and as Gass, h was with this
branch OF the party, said in his journal
they had most rapid water / ever saw
any craft taken through" Upon reach
ing Belt, or Portage creek, as 1t was then
named by the explorers. it was found
necessary to carry the supplies and
canoes overland for one and one-half
miles.
A camp was made at Belt creek and
maintained there during the several fol-
lowing weeks. The explorers now found
themselves faced with their first real
difficulty, the absolute blocking of navi-
cation. To determine how they could
get around the falls. Captain Clark on
June II set out with five men to ex-
plore the country, leaving Lewis to ex-
plore the river and it's fine series of cata-
racts and cascades.

the Nez Perez Indians surrendered to
General Miles on that date so years q
marked impetus was given to the move
ment looking to the designation Of the
battlefield as a national monument and
the erection there OF q shaft to Chief
Joseph, regarded as one Of the greatest
Indian chiefs and military strategists
America has ever known. The anniver-
sary celebration, sponsored by the Lions
club and other civic organizations Of
Chinook, was attended by several hun
dred persons, among whom were Senator
T. j. Walsh, Representative Scott Leavitt.
Lew L. Galloway, chief justice Of the
Montana supreme court who was the
speaker OF the day; David Hilger, libra
rian OF the Montana Historical society;
Mrs. G. A. Rasmussen, state regent Of

IGNORED among the visitors were two

owed armed resistance on the part Of
either cowpunchers or sh~eepherders who
were caught out by the members of the
opposition.
Armed bands of ~cowpunchers would
raid the camps of the sheepmen. shooting
the herders If they resisted, and STAN
peding the sheep over convenient bluffs,
Mr.. Seeley said. The sheepmen, to re-
t~aliate, would stampede the cattle of
their enemies, and deal roughly with the
punchers If they resisted. The home
steaders, at war with both factions, car
ried on a guerrilla warfare by raiding
the camps of both interests.
Into this tangle, Mr.. Seeley was in
tected as supervisor of the forest In which
the herds of both cattlemen and sheep
men ranged. With a knowledge of both
sides interests, he ~inaugurated the IL
censed grazing system, collecting fees
from both the cattle and sheep-raisers,
and Forthcoming out certain parts Of the
forest lands for each.
System Restores Peace
Within three years, peace was restored
to the district, and the cattlemen and
sheepmen were living together In har-
mony. Neither side evinced a desire to
return to the old days, even though their
grazing lands were cut down by forest
administration, Mr.. Seeley stated.
After they realized the advantages OF
supervised grazing rights, both cattle
men and sheepmen were enthusiastic for
supervision. and are among those who
have the interests of the forest service
and the interests of the public as a
whole most closely at heart. MI. Seeley
believes.
Looking back over his long service in
the administration OF forests, Mr.. Seeley
said that 1910 saw the worst forest fires
that have swept the forests to his knowl-
edge. The fires Of 1889 were very bad,
but there were so few people In the u
try n knowledge OF the forests was 80
extremely limited, that the extent OF the
fires was never fully realized. he said.
The fires Of 1919 and 1915 were bad, also.
Mr.. Seeley plans to retire to his home
in Helena. He owns property there, n
in Great Falls n on the Madison, and
plans to take 1t easy for q time.
IT have no regrets for the years I spent
in the service" Mr.. Seeley said, but with
the opportunities that are lying about
in Montana waiting for some young mar
to take advantage of them, l would not
advise a young man to enter the service
as I did. With initiative, the youth of
today should be able to do better than
in a salaried position, no matter with
whom he might obtain 1t. But. I have
no regrets"

The falls had been the goal OF the ex-
plorers for many, many miles. for by this
sign the Indians had told them they
could know that they were on the true
Missouri and the right trail. Upon
reaching the 1uncture of the Missouri
and Maria's river. named by Captain
Clark for his cousin, the party halted
undecided as to which was the true Mis-
souri,.
After a trial trip of two men under
Gass for 10 miles up the Mario's dur
ing which the Teton river. first named
Rose river and later Tansy. was discov-
cred, but the question as to which
branch led to the head OF the Missouri
was still 81 doubt. further explorations
were then thought necessary.
Captain Lewis and six men started up
the Maria's and Captain Clark with five
men started up the Missouri, to be gone
a day and a half. Clark was gone two
days and explored As miles while Lewis
was gone four days and covered SO miles.
Had Clark been as persistent as Lewis
he would lave oun signs which would
have convinced him that the stream he
was following was the Missouri n he
would have been the discoverer OF the
Big Falls.
Lewis Discovers Falls
Upon their return to their camp where
Fort Benton stands they decided to gam
BILE on the chance that the southern
branch was the Missouri and, according
ly. after caching about 1000 pounds OF
their supplies they proceeded up the
river.
Lewis left on JUNE II with four men
tramping across the country. Clark left
several days later with the main party
passing Grog Springs, named because
at that point we refreshed ourselves with
a good drink OF grog."
On the morning Of June 10 the ears
Of Captain Lewis. who had Just crossed
a most beautiful plain where there
were infinitely more buffalo than we had

greeted with the welcome sound of water
falling and a great cloud of spray driven
by a high wind showed like q column Of
smoke above the plain for an instant
and was gone. At last having travelled
about seven miles since first hearing the
sound of the falling water he stood at
moor beside the falls themselves.
After once seeing the tumultuous
