he contracted the heart disease which end
ed his life a few years later.
In what esteem he was held by his
brother officers may be learned from the
tribute to his memory they offered when
the news of his death reached them in the
Philippines, from which | quote.
with a type of mind that made him
revere the past to q degree, yet possessed
with such zeal and interest In progress of
all kinds that he was never satisfied with
the present, but sought constantly for I'M
proyement, and with a personal charm that
made it easy for him to move men in his
direction with harmony, it may be truly
said that Col. Edgerton's services have been
among the strongest and most virile in
~iuences at the Academy for a generation.
So great was his modesty, and so little did
he care for or claim any sort Of personal
credit that many of his friends even had
hardly an idea of the value and character
OF his work. The public loss to the
Academy, and through it to the country,
is very great" Mention is then made of
the gratitude felt by those who had been
his students, for 1.-The helpful sympathy
and never-failing kindness he always
showed to them. and which he specially
extended to those who were unfortunate
and downhearted.
Dying at fifty, Col. Edgerton has left
a record OF constructive work Of q perma-
nent and high character that is equalled
by that OF few men who pass the allotted
time of sixty-four years of the active list"

W. III. Presleigh, pioneer OF Montana,
Indian fighter. mining man, cowpuncher,
friend of Buffalo Bills, former employe
OF Theodore Roosevelt and resident of
Missouia for the past eight years has
left the west. Mr.. Presleigh has gone to
Carmel, n. T., to pass his remaining
years with a son, after so years of active
life In western states, principally Mon
tana.
Coming up the Missouri river in 1877,
Presleigh marched with a detachment Of
soldiers from Fort Pierre to Fort Meade in
the Black Hills, where he served until
1879. lie then made a stage trip to Bis
marck, N. D., and soon after journeyed,
partly by waterway, up the Yellowstone to
Fort keogh where he served under General
Nelson A. Miles until 1881. During his
service, he fought Indians along the
Musselshell, Rosebud, and Powder rivers
and was wounded in the leg in a battle
with the Sioux on the porcupine river. He
was among those present at Fort keogh
when Sitting Bull and Rain-in-the-Faee
came In and surrendered.
Following his discharge from the army,
Mr.. Presleigh hunted buffalo and punched
in Montana and Dakota for several
years. In 1885 he was married In the
frontier town Of Philipsburg and then
moved to Huson. He later lived at De-
Smet, where his five children attended
school. After the death of his wife at De-
Smet, he had some mining experiences and
made three trips to Alaska. California
claimed him for q few months, as did
Idaho, but Montana was the center of his
life and he always returned to what he
called his home. ANY place in Montana"

(By Arthur A.. Brown, Asst Forest
Supervisory


By Arthur A. Brown, Asst Forest
Supervisor
EOR the seventh time, one of the
fifty-two weeks in our varied and
busy calendar has been set aside
by both u presidents and gov
ernor's proclamations as American
Forest week. This fact does not ap-
peal to the reader as news, since it
has been done before and everyone
has an inkling of what it is all about.
But Christmas and Sunday and some
times even vacations repeat them
selves, so why not American Forest
week?
1t sounds fine to the most casual reader.
but he Is very apt to dismiss the matter
after reading the opening lines Of the gov
ernors proclamation as something that is
useful but tiresome propaganda, and he
wants to see what ANDY" Is doing anyway.
From the time our great American
TEDDY" and Clifford Pinchot, the war
horse, started talking conservation in cap
ital letters In Washington, and statisticlans
came In with a simple sum In arithmetic
showing that the U. S. A. was cutting tim
Der from three to four times as fast as 1t
was growing, we have had something to
think about. This thinking has brought
action and 4 conservation movement for all
our natural resources that Is of real i'm
portance to all of us. 1t involves the
preservation not only Of trees and scenic
beauty, but game, fish, bird life, and pure
water.
This problem Is one in which any car
owner cannot help being interested. The
key 20 1t is the proper protection Of our
forest lands. We now know that in Mon
tana and all over the U. s. a. we can raise
enough timber to keep on using timber for
al our needs if-the Joker" Of fire can be
eliminated.
The number and area OF fires in the o..
y. A, every year amounts TO a national dis
grace. and Montana ranks high In thiR
record. The actual property loss averages
about twenty-five million dollars every
year, representing about ten million acres
OF land. You may imagine these fres.
about 10000 OF them, Joined together on
one continuous boiling front clear across

the country from coast to coast. They
would make n band Of fire four miles wide.
1t is difficult to believe but is true for n
period of our past.
Twenty four hundred million feet, al
most half the amount of the 5000 million
feet Of timber cut In Montana for the per-
iod 1910 to 1926 has gone up In smoke dur
ing that period. Although the situation Is
a serious matter, 1t Is not beyond remedy.
Nearly a third of the fires are caused by
lightning and the lessening of their de-
structiveness lies in better fire organlza-
|tion, In which the last five-year period
already shows progress.
The fires started by human carelessness
are those in which the general public can
do best work. They are frequently the
most destructive, since they start In low
country along roads and trails and the
most desirable recreation spots. These rep
resent a personal responsibility to every
one concerned. Matches, camp fires, rail-
roads, burning of brush are all points Of
trouble and can be eliminated only by the
attention of every one concerned. Did you
ever stop to think of how your city fire
department effects public protection? 1t
quick transportation. On our vast areas of
forest land. the same procedure has to be
much modified. Preventing the start OF a
fire is the surest way, but the next most
important point Is the securing OF immedi-
ate action by making the fire known to the
nearest protective organization at once IL
you are not able to stop 1t yourself.
Probably every one who likes TO be in the
open can win for himself the personal sat
~isfaction of knowing that he prevented or
was responsible for stopping a fire that
might wipe out the steady growth OF tim
Der of one hundred years, and bring In Its
train all the other destructive effects of fire
you are already familiar with.
Next to mining. timber furnishes Mon
tana's biggest industry and thousands Of
acres OF young growth give promise OF
keeping 1t so if-the fires can be kept out.
Taking care Of our natural resources Is
after all a philosophy Of life and n way Of
living that applied 10 personal accounts
means staying inside your income and saw
Ing for the future. Automobile wrecks,
moonshine parties. and forest fires do sim
liar damage In the corresponding budget
sponsibility.

mind" This was a characteristic of my
brother, through life. Unlike the majority
of persons, he did not think in a rut, but
was capable of holding original views. He
could "change up" his mind.
Wright was also possessed of a vivid
imagination. He saw impossible things,
which he related as facts, to the great dis
tress of bis father. who had a puritanic
regard for truth. Once | overheard him
say to my mother, MARY, | am afraid that
plants, he called them 'effunts," walking
on the fence" Yet this Imagination was
an inherited trait, an attribute of the
father as well as Of the son.
During these most impressionable years
of his life, the general tone of the com
have a lasting effect upon my brother.
Tallmadge was a Connecticut land grant to
Col. Tallmadge, one of General Washing
tons staff officers. who laid out the town,
and for whom II was named.
Like other Western Reserve towns, II
was a bit of New England transplanted to
the more fertile soil of Ohio. Education
was highly regarded by its farmer popula.
ton, and 1t Is said to have sent out more
college graduates than any other tow OF
the same number of Inhabitants in the
United States. District schools we're estab.
lished at two and a half mile intervals
with one at Its center, where there was
also an excellent academy where students
were prepared for entrance to college. II
was in the central district school thai
Wright studied until we left Ohio fol
Montana, on the first day of June, 1868.
There was no school in Bannack wheI
we reached there, and none until my cousin
Miss Lucia Darling, who was a member o.
our household and had crossed the plain,
with us, opened a school on Yankee Flat
which Wright attended.
When the first legislature met In 1854
Wright was made page of the council, a.
there was a dearth of boys in town, and h
