Inexpensive-Works Wonders.
Just lately it has been discovered
that coughs and colds in colder

need different treatment than in
warm climates. For coughs in the
cold climate of Dakota, Montana and
Minnesota various experiments have
shown the best treatment to be q
mixture of licorice, pine oil, men,
thol and a few other ingredients.
Such a mixture is now being Of
fered ready-prepared under the

their vindictive cruelty, and his story
deserves particular citation as showing
the hairbreadth adventures to which
these solitary rovers of the wilderness
are exposed.
Such is a sample Of the rugged ex-
perience which Golfer had to relate of
savage life; yet. with all these perils and
terrors fresh in his recollection, he could
not see the present band on their way
to these regions of danger and adventure
without feeling a vehement impulse to-
join them.
"A western trapper is like a sailor;
past hazards only stimulate him %
further risks, the vast prairie is to me
less field of enterprise and exploit. How
ever, he nay have suffered in his last
cruise he is always ready to join a new
expedition; and the more adventurous
its nature the more attractive it is to his
vagrant spirit.
Nothing seems to have kept Golfer
from continuing with the party to the
shores of the Pacific but the circum-
stances OF his having recently married.
All the morning he kept with them, bal
ancing in his mind the charms Of his
bride against those OF the Rocky noun
tains, the former, however, prevailed, and
after a march of several miles, he o
a reluctant leave of the travellers, and
turned his face homeward."
Apparently, the Bradbury record is the
last written accoun we nave of Golfer
until after his death.

(By DIR. EDGAR Is. TRAIL)

uOHN Golfer stands on hrs record
today as the most celebrated explorer
y OF the Lewis and Clark expedition. NO
member Of that historic and celebrated
expedition ever returned out of the Mis-
souri, river with a record OF exploration
and adventure to compare with his. His
sublime courage and unbelievable en-
durance displayed in his great escape
from the Blackfeet stamps that feat as
the great classic of the escapes of white
men from the Indians in America. His
magnificent courage and endurance led
him to be chosen for a perilous trip into
the solitudes. From this lonely journey
he returned as the discoverer Of that
matches wonderland - the Yellowstone
national park. Practically forgotten in
the land where he died. he is today
emerging from an unmarked and an I'M
known grave, to rightfully take his place
among the heroic explorers of the great
west.
Just how long Golfer stayed In st.
Louis after his arrival in the spring of
1910, we do not know, but we do know
that while residing In st. Louis, he was
busy trying to obtain money from the
estate of Captain Meriwether Lewis and
from Thomas James, who at that time,
we believe, lived somewhere in Illinois.
He obtained a Judgment against the es-
tate OF Captain Lewis for S377.oO, but
Golfer never obtained any Of this amount
because OF the insolvency of the estate.
If we remember correctly, one Of the old
documents on record at the Probate
court in st. Louis. does credit Thomas
James with a payment to Golfer. Pre-
sumably Golfer arrived back in the
haunts Of civilization with little or no
funds but quickly realized that money
was of prime necessity to his existence in
the city, as his rifle would no longer
answer the demands for a livlihood.
In all probability Golfer soon tired of
conditions as they were in ST. Louis and
determined to move back up the Mis-
souri, river. where he might trap and
lead h free, open life that was so dear
to him.
We next hear of John Golfer at Dun
dee n we now enter the vale of mystery
that concealed Golfers life at Dundee
until his death, and which still guards
most of the record of his life at that
place with a deep silence which will not
give up the secrets of the departed
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1928-08-02

Working faithfully to discover and bring
to light some accurate record OF Golfers
life at Dundee we find, from want OF
almost no written records, that we must
depend largely upon tradition. While
enabled to follow Golfer fairly accurately
during his life IN the far west by the
written records OF those times, we have
found q directly opposite condition in
tracing him at Dundee. Here he fades
from view, and, outside OF the record OF
his interview by Bradbury, has practical
ly left no written trace OF his life at
that place.
Tradition has 1t that Golfer went to
Boeuf (LaBoeuf) creek to trap for bea-
yer, arriving there in 1910. I'm 1911,
Golfer lived on Boeuf creek near the
house of Sullins In st. Louis county"
Near the place which was once the home
of Zacharias Sullins, there is q fine
spring Of water that lows from the base
OF the hill that forms the east side OF
Boeuf Greek valley, and after flowing a
short distance, empties into Boeuf creek,
which is nearby. After carefully going
over the available evidence, we believe
Golfer lived near this fine spring OF water
which is known as the "Sullins spring"
The bottom a adjacent to this spring
was Of the very finest to be hand and.
no doubt. here Golfer turned farmer dur

ping in due season.
Was Married There
Golfer was married while living at Dun
dee. No record is available giving the
maiden name OF his wife, but in all prob
ability her given name was Sally. On one
document on file at Union, Mo, having
to do with settlement Of the estate OF
John Golfer, she has had her name
signed Loucy Coulter, over her mark,
which indicates she was probably unable
to write her name. Her second given
name may nave been Loucy and she may
have used this name in signing the docu-
ment above referred to. The evidence
still stands that her given name was Sal
ly. She afterwards married James Brown.
Sally Golfer never knew or dreamed of
the fame that her first husband, John
Golfer, would fall heir to many years
after his death. She has left no record
of his life at Dundee and no known
record of his grave
John Golfer left one known child-a
son named Hiram. We nave located a
little Testament that has been handed
down through the Golfer family. bearing
the signature of this Hiram Golfer. This
little testament bears the publishers
date of 1885, and the faded but visible
signature of Hiram Golfer, claimed by
his descendants to have been the son and
only known child of John Golfer, who
was with Lewies and Clark. Full docu-
mentary evidence proving the above is
lacking, but the traditional record Is SO
we'll founded and SO well known to us
that we accept it as fact in this case.
Has Many Descendants
The childen of Hiram Golfer were:

willing to put forth the necessary effort.
March IL, 1911, the Wilson P. Hunt
party left st. Louis bound for the Co.
lumbia river. With them was John
Bradbury, an English naturalist. He was
commissioned by the Botanical Society
of Liverpool, England, to come to Amer
lea to make researches and gather speci-
mems. He had attached himself to this
expedition as it offered splendid oppor-
tunity to fulfill his mission. Bradbury
kept a journal from which we quote
March II, 1811)-"We encamped at the
mouth of a creek called Boeuf, near the
house of n Sullens, l enquired of Sui
lens for John Golfer, one of Lewis and
Clark's party, whom General Clark had
mentioned to me as being able to point
out the place on the Missouri where the
petrif1ed skeleton of a fish, about forty
feet long, had been found. Sullens in

Birdmen, a birdwOman and their
companions In the air, not too tired
after 1900 miles of a 6,600-miIe trip
scheduled for the fourth annual Air
tour, but tired enough to be glad to
relax, were the guests of Great Falls
for a day recently. The tour, making
a hop from Missoula and stopping in
Great Falls overnight, went from there
to Froid and Minot, n. d., a 5OO-mile
leap.
The social contacts wnicn the visitors
of the air tour made possible brought 70
Montana people mountaineering with
some of the best known aviators. There
is Eddi Stinson, daredevil stunter, who
at one time was co-holder of the worlds
endurance record, remaining in the air
SO hours. And everybody has heard of
George w. Haldeman, who piloted Ruth
Elder in her attempted flight across the
Atlantic.
From the time that the ships swooped
down on the Vance field until late in the
evening. the visiting hiers and the others
connected with the o were the guests
Of Great Falls people. General arrange
ments were handled by a committee of
the Falls chapter of the American Aero

ment was in charge of the Texas Pacific

at a dinner in the evening in the palm
room at the Hotel Rainbow.

Some preferred to remain round the
