The gulf coast of Florida has been
discovered, but on the December night
when this young couple went down to
the landing stage to inspect the Blue
River launch it had not been spelled. No
one came here but sportsmen, except pill
grins to Strakers, and they were not
sufficiently numerous to do harm.
The gulf coast in those days was a de-
lightful back water Of civilization, a
playground, a rest cure, with nothing
but climate and scenery to compare it
with Palm Beach, and even the climate
was softer and the scenery lacked i'm

a party Of five who were on their way to
Blue River to visit Miles Straker Three
of them were quite distinguished people.
There was Prof. Blount, a doctor OF
psychology Of the University Of Califor-
MIA, whose hobby was Venetian glass,
upon which he was something of an au-
thority; and there was a Madame Du-
plessus of the Sorbonne and Roderick
Blair, the English writer, also doctor OF
psychology, whose book, Memory and
the Conscious Mind" had made place
for him in the front ranks Of original
thinkers.
Roderick Blair meant to do a little
work during the six weeks or so they
would be at Blue River, and to aid him
in that purpose had brought along his
secretary, a girl by the name of Alison
Morrow. Prof. Blount was accompanied
by student he had picked up abroad, a
rather eXuberant person who rejoiced in
the name Of Victor Gabrielli, and who
threw the other members of the party
into uneasy perpleXities by reason Of the
fancy dress apparel he affected for every

plete his journey. He could drive the
eighteen miles through sandy pine for

could go by the gulf in naphtha launch
and up the Blue river to Straker's
Lots Of people took all that trouble to
pay him homage, not only from New
York and ether parts of the United
States, but rom Europe. One, indeed,
came all the way from Persia accompa-
MED by his two wives, the older Of whom
passed as his sister in order to elude the
United States regulations against po-
lygamy.
Miles Straker was a craftsman-author
who did not disdain to advertise, and for
him the best advertisement was his sup
posed withdrawal from the world. One
of his arts was glass blowing, but there
were others; and what John Straker had
started as an industrial community
somewhat on the line sof Ruskin's IA
nous experiment. had become, under the
shrewd genius Of his son, thriving one
man business.
The elder Straker had been dreamer
and a poet, weak man altogether,
whose disappearance from Blue River
some seventeen years previously in the
company of his best friends wife had
entirely disrupted the happy community
and left Miles, then boy Of fifteen, with
few miserable frame buildings, a glass
blowers retort and what machinery the
disillusioned communists could neither
sell nor carry away.
BY the time he was two-and-thirty
Miles Straker had done a great deal with
Blue River. He had dreams, too, but he
put them to better purpose than his
father had done. Also he had managed
in his own ascetic mode of life to re-
trieve a scandal which possessed more
than the usual elements Of dishonor
The elopement of the elder Straker with
the woman in question had been planned
with cold-blooded care. She had started

her two-year-old baby with her, but the

Completion of the editing of the
journals of Major John Owen, prOmi-
nent figure in the early history of
Montana, are near at hand and the
publication of them is predicted in Au-
gust, Professor Paul G.. Phillips, head
Of the history department of the State
University. said few days ago. This
volume of documentary material is
being published under the auspices of
the Montana Historical society.
Professor Phillips has studied these
journals carefully, has prepared notes
and an index to them, and collected pic
lures to illustrate the history related in
the journals.
Major Owen founded a trading post
near Stevensville in 1850 and called it
Fort Owen. He carried on an extensive
trade in the northwest in furs and pro-
duce and travelled extensively over this
territory. During 25 eventful years he
kept detailed account of all his ex-
periences. This account it is that is
now being printed.
Owen built the first saw mill in the
Bitter Root valley and planted the first
orchard. He likewise did the first irri-
eating ever done in the valley. A man OF
MS party at the post is reputed the first
person to discover gold in Montana. He
located the metal in the Bitter Root.
