water, Is probably the only London
memorial about whose origin nothing
whatever is known.
MFis aNdOubleR column, surmounted
by an eagle. One theory is that Mr..
Orme, having made a fortune by sup.
plying Russia with gravel, signified
his gratitude by erecting the column
with the Russian eagle on top to
grace his square.
This explanation, If it could be sub
stantiated, would fix approximately
the date of the column. But the Rus.
sian eagle has two heads, while the
Orme Square bird has only one.
Another theory Is that the bird is a
French eagle, commemorative Of Louis
Napoleon's residence hereabouts.

MACDONALD TO CONTINUE
IN. BRITISH PUBLIC LIFE
Former Premier Denies Report He
Will Withdraw on Account
of Health.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 27.--Ramsay
MacDonald's recent declaration con,
cerning his health has provoked a
storm of discussion.
Il am going to turn over no new
leaf" Mr.. Macdonald said.
II am not going to take care of my
health any more than | did before"
Mr.. MacDonald's serious illness
during his recent visit to the United
States and his enforced rest from
leadership of the Labor party upon his
return gave rise to rumors that he
must leave political life.
The former Labor premier's declar-
alton that he will carry on at any
cost has won much approval from
public men who believe there is too
much mollycoddling nowadays.

SM0OTH-LEAVED TREES
SURVIVE AUTO GASES
Paris Experts Find Only Foliage
Washed by Rain and busted

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 27.-Smooth -leaved
trees, say experts, are the only ones
that can live on city boulevards in
this day of automobiles.
Only those whose foliage is washed
by rain and busted off by the breeze,
they believe, will thrive. They have
found that the rough leaves of chest
nuts and similar trees have their
breathing burned by sulphuric
acid.
Sulphurous dust, says Prof. Demor-
laine of the Agricultural Institute is
produced by the exhaust from auto.
mobiles. This, he says, becomes sui.
phuric acid in humid air and works
into the pores of the leaves. Smooth
leaves would be washed clean by
occasional rains, or the dust would
be blown off by winds before it could
damage the trees.

PARIS. August 27 P.-Jean- Bap-

20 years been drawing the pension of
his dead father.
When government railroad officials
learned that one of their retired EN-.

celebrate his hundredth birthday this
year, they began to arrange a public
ceremony in his honor. In the course
of arrangements officials found that
Tourenne had collected his fathers
pension for so long that a new genera
ton Of cashiers took it for granted
the man they paid was the rensioner
himself. Tourenne, therefore, kept on
getting paid and lived without work

aha, from st. Paul, from st. Louis and St.
Joe, westward to the camps of Alder and
Last Chance.
Perhaps the most famous frOntiersman
to act in the role of trailblazer into Mon
tana was Jim" Bridger, who led the first
party over the divide into the Gallatin
valley in the early sixties, and traversed
the same route many times afterward. This
-'Bridger Trail" left the main transcOnti-
mental route, the Oregon Trail, at a point
on the north fork of the Platte river, a
short distance east of Independence Rock
Wyoming. 1t proceeded nOrthward, cross
ing several tributaries of the Big Horn
entering Montana just west of the Pryor
mountains in what is now Carbon county
From here in a nOrthwesterly direction
reaching to the ClarK's fork of the Yellow

From the location of the present town OF
Bridger, the trail ran to the Yellowstone

Presently, there passes through this
herd of animals the scented sense Of ap-
preaching danger. Like a gentle zephyr,
it watts from the leading COW to the
farthermOst member Of the band. Their
heads lifted, they wait on the verge Of
stampede. Then, as though rising from
some subterranean depths, and breaking
the crystal silence, the lilt Of the French
Canadian boat song heralds the approach
of a long line of picturesque, lean and
hardened men, all bent low meath a tow
rope. They sing; they curse; they work ;
they trudge, one behind the other along
the muddy, winding bank and over the
barren bluffs that mark the tickle stream.
The rope they bend beneath is attached
to the mast of a numbering river craft.
This boat is singular, yet its kind were

course of this great inland waterway. The

John BOZeman's "I3OZeman TraiI'
There was one man among all the Mon
tana pioneers who had to do with early
day transportation, whose name stands out
in greatest prominence. 1t was long the
dream of John BOzeman to find a trail
which would shorten the weary miles from
Omaha to the Montana gold camps. And,
in the face of gravest danger, privatiOn
and untold hardship, this indOmitable spir-
irt accomplished his aim, in the famous
"BOzeman Trail" The BOzeman trail left
the old Oregon trail at Red Buttes on the
Platte river. Striking off nOrthwestward
passing Fort Laramie, Fort Reno and Fort
Phil Kearney, 1t entered Montana Territory
on the upper reaches of the Little Big Horn
