Jack Brown, star guide for the Park
Saddle Horse company of Glacier park
enjoys the reputation of having never,
during I3 years of service as guide for
"dude" hunting parties, had an acci-
dent befaIl one of his charges nor los
ing or crippling horse. Last summer
he guided among others, James Simp-
son, president of Marshall Field e.
Company of Chicago, who with two
sons and a party of friends spent a
month in the big game wilderness
south of Glacier park.
Brown is a crack shot with either pis-
toll, siX-Shooter or rifle, an expert horse
man, far beyond the average cook when
it becomes necessary and an entertainer
par excellence. He knows where the trout
hide in the shadows Of the rocks that
overhang the cold mountain streams, ano
is familiar with the haunts Of the elk,
the deer, the bear and knows just how
best to get those animals.
In 1888 Jack used to punch COWS for
the old CO outfit near Choteau, then
owned by cap" Higgins and Sam Mitch
ell. He also worked for the Floweree in.
the vicinity of Sun River crossing.
In 1891 he returned to the scenes OF
his boyhood in western Montana anG
went driving stage for the Allard line,
then in a bitter competition with the
Adams company. The route was from
Ravalli, a station on the Northern Pa
cific railroad, to Poison, at the foot Of
heavy, bound into the Kalispen country
where the Great Northern railway was
engaged in construction work.
So bitter became the rivalry between
the Allard and the Adams stage lines
| that Adams began hauling passengers
free. Allard retahated by Offering a free
ticket, a free dinner enroute and bo-
nus OF 81 in cash to those who went by
his line.
Both outfits had imported the finest Of
horse flesh for the purpose from Oregon,
but when it ran short, as it was bound to
do under the tremendous strain of git
tin thar FIRST they had recourse to the
cayuses which ran wild and which could
be purchased from the Indians for almost
nothing. A six-horse stage outfit would,
for instance, throw in four wild and un-
broken range horses behind a pair Of
trained leaders and at the end of a sin
gle trip time and time again the cay1ses
were embarrassed and loosed again upon
the range, the soft and grass fed animals
being utterly ruined in one days heart
breaking travel.
Many men are yet living who made the
trip with one or the other Of the stage
lines from Ravalli to Poison, or vice versa
in the days when Jack Brown handled
the ribbons, and each one has a story
to tell.
Jack is q bachelor-but not confirmed
"Oh, dunno" he says. ''If could
get a woman that didn't have to hob
bic or picket out at night, might take
one on yet"
He was born in Brainerd, MINI, IL
1871, and came west with his parent,

After inquiries by his secretary had
brought from the Interior Department
only a press announcement on April

Senator kendrick resorted to a
Senate resolution to break the In
terror Department silence.
Mondell also testified he called on

got no satisfaction and the following

Pr0priety Is Questioned.

The propriety of President Coolidge
granting an interview to Admiral Ma
grutler following his appeal for the
revocation of II departmental order
is questioned by some of the Prcsi-
dents associates Moreover, the
President would add greatly to the
burdens of his office if he is to adopt
the policy of reviewing appeals from
Army and Navy officers. The PreSl-
dent would be kept busy and would
probably have little time for anything
else, one of his associates stated,
inasmuch as the President would con-
slider that an officer of the lowest rank
was entitled to Just as much consld-
Grafton at his hands as one of the
rank Of Admiral Magruder.
