ship In behalf Of the people of the
United States. Both addresses. one
at Amapala, the other at La Union
were brief. Both emphasized the
need for mutual understanding be-
tween the United States and other
democracies of the American CONT
nent.
Warm Welcome
At both seaports yesterday Hoov-
! er was given a warm and colorful
welcome. The military We're present
in gorgeous uniforms. There were
salutes and return salutes, the
hosting of flags and bands playing
The Star Spangled Banner"
The president-elect spoke first at
Amapala.
/ In our daily life good neighbors
call upon each other as the evidence
of solicitude for the common well
fare" he said. land to learn of the
circumstances and point of view of
each so that there may come both
understanding and respect which
are the elementary forces of all
society"
He told his audience that the
United States and Honduras We're
pledged through the blood of their
torefathers TO national independence.
We in the United States have
learned much from the experience
of our Latin American neighbors
and we in turn take pride in our
contributions to the common pool
of human advancement in these $50
years. Therefore, l have felt that
the larger personal acquaintance
with both our neighboring countries
and with their points Of view, and
above all with the men who have
been elected to responsibility in
their government. would be valuable
in the task which lies before me.

But One Desire
Those who know the United
States" he declared, know also
that We have only one desire and
that is to cooperate to a constantly
improving understanding; to COM
mon progress and to common at
, tainment."
La Union is but ten miles across
the Gulf of Fonseca from Amapala
in Honduras. Mr.. Hoover made the
trip in motor launch, and found
the town enjoying holiday while
waiting for his coming.
I'VE perhaps hear more of eco
nomic and trade relations between
countries than any other one sub
, ject in the field of international
life" he told a large audience
This may be easily explained for
out of our economic life do we
build up the foundations upon
which other progress rests. And our
international economic relations can
have but one real foundation. They
can grow only out of the prosperity
OF each of us. They cannot flourish
in. the poverty or degeneration of
any of US. Our economic progress
is mutual. 1t is not competitive x
! Not Sole BASIS
But economic development does
not and should not be the sole basis
of exchange between nations but
rather the incident Of it. We have
the mutual problems of strengthen
ing the foundation of peace. build
ing up confidence and friendship
and the institutions and ideals of
each of our nations"
Mr.. Hoover was to have returned
to the Maryland after he was the
guest of honor at a formal dinner
in La Union but rough water on
the stretch between the shore and
the battleship delayed his departure
from Salvador.

everything and hit the trail for the Bad
Lands. Alexander wrote to his friend
and in the letter he stressed the finding
of the piece of sluice box, the old rubber
boot, and the piece of shovel handle.
There was now no doubt in his mind
about having found the place where
Reyes recovered the gold dust "a years
before. After writing this visionary let
ter, Alexander, with his fringed buck
skin clothes, fades out of the picture and
a new potent factor appears-the power
Of the press.
After Alexander's friend had read the
letter he gave it to a reporter on one OF
the daily papers. There happened to be
a dearth of news at that time n the
reporter played up the story of the
finding Of the long lost Reyes mine foi

appeared the next morning undo q

with such exciting phrases as: "A new

FTER an interval Of 80 years, the
u mere mention OF the Big Dry stam-
- pede in the presence of old-time
placer miners, Will invariably provoke
laughter. Most of the stampedes in the
early placer days of Montana were tame
commonplace events. Some were roman
tic in character, and one at least, the
Sun River stampede in 1865, when a
number of men froze to death on the
trail. was q tragedy. But the wild, in
sane rush of excited men to Big Dry
creek in the Bad Lands In the spring Of
1895. was a comedy bordering OF the
ridiculous, according to F.. l.. Whitehead
OF Townsend.
Mr.. Whitehead's account of the STAN
pede" follows:
A dominant feature in the chain of
events which eliminated in the mad
rush to Big Dry creek, was the c%onspicu-
GUS figure of a tall, lanky p~rospector
dressed in fringed buckskin, like a re-
incarnation OF Daniel Boone or Davy
Crockett.
When this picturesque person appeared
In a settled community, he would be-
come the cynosure OF all eyes; children
would hush their laughter to gaze with
intense childish curiosity at the gro
tesque figure Of a man In buckskin, n
inquisitive older people would ask in a
whisper, who in the world is he?" Some
one who was acquainted with the pros
pector and his eccentric mania, would
tmpart the information in a whisper,
THAT is Alexander, the prospector, who
is searching IN the Bad Lands for the
lost Reyes diggings.
The Lost Reyes Placer Mine
The story Of the lost Reyes placer mine
Is made up OF rather hazy, discrepant re-
ports. but by disentangling the night
mare OF conflicting stories, relating to
the lost mine, it appears certain that a
squaw-man. named William Reyes, spent
the winter of 1901 at some remote
spot in the Bad Lands below the mouth
of the Judith river. Somewhere in hat
vast, desolate, UNEMPLOYED region, Reyes
evidently found some placer gold. The
following spring he hurried back to CIV
ilization with a beautiful Gros Ventre
squaw, bringing back 1000 in gold dust,
unless there were some picturesque liars
round Fort Benton at that time.
Keyes fitted out another expedition
and descended the Missouri river. in COM
pany with the charming Gros Ventre
squaw. and a white man. While camped
some distance below a place on the river
called Rocky Point, Reyes and his white
companion were murdered by Sioux In
dians. The Gros Ventre squaw's life
was spared.
Years later the Indian woman told a
white man, that on the evening Reyes
was killed, she asked him 10 much
farther it was to the end of their journey
and he replied Two more sleeps" mean
ing two more days of travel. And then,
in true romantic frontier fashion, the
sharp report of o rifle, in the hands of
a bloodthirsty Sioux, rang out on the

Great Falls MAN BUILT
Auto Thirty Years Ago.

A. w. and Walter Steward were born
within the city limits Of Butte. They
are the grandsons of August Bogk, who
built the first brick house on Main street
the Virginia Chop House-and who
provided one Of Butte's first popular
amusement parks. 1t was located in a
poplar grove in the canyon just above
Meaderville.
Young Steward attended the only
grade school in Butte, the Central, which
was located about where the city library
now stands. The Washington was the
district high school. Before he had fin
ished his grade school work, the Garfield
and the Webste schools were built.
Ralph Wethey, brother of Mrs. E. w.
Nash, and 1 were the first two pupils to-
enter the Garfield school," Mr.. Steward,
said. 1.-TWO of our teachers are still in
Butte. They are Norah Kelly and Anna
Mason"
In the roaring 8o's," Mr.. Steward says,
Butte's street transportation was sup
piled by the monitor. q dinky street en-
CINE which hauled passenger trans out
to Columbia gardens, and q cable line,
that ran from Park and Main to Walker
Vile. The monitor ran from the present
high school corner. The fare was 20
cents.
THE monitor used to get stuck COM
ing up the grade out near the Pacific
! house, Mr.. Steward said, "and the pas
sengers would have to get u n push.
We had a personal interest in nat old
engine and felt immensely proud when
the monitor one day ran into a switch
engine and knocked 1t of the track. 1t
was as If q favorite son had captured
the heavyweight pugilist championship.
Declaring that he had seen Butte come
up from the grass roots, Mr.. Steward
said that he had gone away glad to re-
turn.
A graduate of the Butte schools, "a
student at the University of Montana
and a graduate of the civil engineer de-
partment Of the Armour Technical In
stitute Of Chicago, MIR, Steward has fol-
lowed mining, milling and railway con-
struction. One of his recent Jobs was
running a railway for the Diamond
Match company into the white pine for
ests of Idaho. He is now associated with
his brother In the S. 81 S. Body works at
Great Falls.
There is no other town in the world
Just like Butte" MIR. Steward said. Butte
may not rank high from the standpoint
Of architectural triumphs. There may
be too much dust and mine mok In
the air to please the fastidious, but,
nevertheless, Butte has something that
no other town can boast, that indein-
able Il that wins the heart of every per-
son who tarries within her borders long
enough to take root.
LET a person live in Butte long
enough to become identified with its cit
izenship and, though he travel to remot-
est Africa, when he meets a white man
he will manage somehow to slip in the
boast that he used to live in Butte"

TINE sparsely settled condition of Mon
tana a quarter Of a century ago alone
= prevented Butte from becoming one
of the great observation-disclosures
centers of the world, in the opinion OF
A. w. Steward, who, with his brother,
Walter, built two of the earliest models
of motor cars in the west.
"They were good cars, too" says MIR
Steward, who is now q resident of Great
Falls. Mr.. Steward is the son of John M
Steward, pioneer piano dealer Of Butte
and locator of the Steward mine in that
city. John Steward was likewise in part
nership with Ed Hickey in the Raven. He
also owned the Little Minah, the Nipper
and the Chief Joseph, every one Of which
has rendered an account Of itself.
The Steward was sold to w. A. Clark
for 6 5000. The owner was sitting On the
dump sorting ore when the future Mon
thna senator drove by. You have a good
mine there, john" he said. Want to
sell it?"
II know It's a good mine, Bill" Stew
ard answered. 81 don't want to sell it,
but / will. You are the only man in
the district that can handle quartz ore,
/ know / can't. I can use $4,000 in my
business"
III that's your price, said Senator
Clark, III send you a check in the morn
ing That was back in the 80's. The
Steward has produced many times its
purchase price and is still a good pro-
ducer.
The reference to Mr.. Clark being 1.-THE
only man who could handle quartz ore
was due to his being the owner of the
Dexter quartz mill, then the only one in
the northwest. 1t was located in Butte
near the Centennial brewery.
A.. w. and Walter Steward, sons of
John, opened the Butte Novelty works
in the early COS. Howard Pierce and
Herbert Brenon were two of their ma
chinists. Came Tom Angel. Build me
an automobile" he said.
The Stewards set to work. I'VE bought
a Brenon two-cylinder engine" MIR.
Steward said. I'VE had the tonneau
made by the Western Lumber company.
We bought the steering wheel here and
the springs there-but we made our own
carburetor.
1.-The current came off dry cells those
days. When we had finished we had a
car that would make 20 miles an hour.
IT. would do something that eastern fac
tory-made cars would not do. 1t would
bring you home when you drove 1t out.
Other cars came home on the end of a
rope more times than under their own
power. Mr.. Angel used to drive out to
the Big Hole dam on Sundays. He was
never hauled home. His car cost him
81 ,400."
The production of the Angel car re-
suited in an order from a firm in Helena.
This car also delivered the goods" MIR.
Steward declares.
In addition to being the manufacturers
of those early-day autos, the Stewards
also conducted the first garage in Butte.
1t was located at II North Arizona street,
next to the VIII house.

Reyes never revealed the exact loca-

men. However, there are still people

BATTLE ON FOR
RADIO WAVES

A big fight has been stirred up in
the radio industry over the com.
mercial use of short wave lengths. It
will come into the open during the
Federal Radio Commission confer
ence here next week.
Representatives of many phases
of commerce and industry, all of
which have suddenly decided they
must have private radio stations,
will meet Tuesday to present their
views as to the distribution OF the
short-wave plums.
The newspapers and news dis
tributing agencies which brought
about the conference through ap-
plication for short-wave licenses are
now in the minority, with moving
picture companies. radio-movie out
fits, public utilities, packers, lumber
and coal corporations and almost
every other phase of industry and
commerce trying to obtain Licenses.
Indications today pointed to a pro-
tracted battle for possession of the
limited channels below 200 meters.
Some of the bigger communications
companies, alleged to have a prac-
teal monopoly in the short-wave
field, are said to be opposing extern
sion of facilities to other interests.
1t appeared that the demand for
channels for commercial uses OF
radio might even be greater than
that for the also limited broadcast
channels.
