German Prince Visited
Northern Montana Area
Nearly 100 Years Ago

IT is a fact worth knowing that Mon
tana was visited nearly one hundred
years by a German prince. The
time was less than a third OF a century
after Lewis and Clark made their his
toric trip of discovery to the Pacific
ocean by way OF the waters OF the Mis-
souri, river and the Columbia river. The
nobleman was Alexander Philip Maximil-
ian, Prince OF Weide, who lived for a
time at Fort Mckenzie, near the mouth
of the Marias river, In 1883. On coming
to this country he was accompanied by
a painter Of Swiss origin, Carl Bodmer,
who tool much pains n exercised great
skill In depicting the customs n pOr-
traits Of Indians and Of any specimens
the prince desired to be preserved in that
way. Before coming to the United States
the Prince OF Weide made a trip to the
wilds Of the Amazon river in Brazil
where he remained for two years collect
ing specimens and data for q work that
he afterwards prepared nj published
The result OF his labors served to estab-
lish his reputation as q scientist through
out the world. 1t was after this work
was published that he came to the United
States.
The prince fought in the Napoleonic
wars and was at the battle Of Jena and
also helped to end the career of the Little
Corporal at Waterloo, where he was a
major general. When the war was ended
the Prince Of Weide quit the army and
resumed the study of science.
He had long wished to visit the north
western portion Of the United States AND
the Rocky mountain region. He was free
to go and at once prepared for the trip
Besides Bodmer, he was accompanied by
another man, Deidroppel, h acted as
hunter and general utility man n who
was with Macmillan in the Amazon
river region. Macmillan and his two
companions sailed from his native land
in 1882 and reached Boston July a. They
reached st. Louis in the spring Of 1888
and went up the river on the steamel
Yellowstone, belonging to the American
Fur company. At Fort Pierre the prince
transferred TO the steamer Assinniboine
and proceeded up the river to Fort Clark
near where the town OF Bismarck. N. d.
now stands. That place was then occu
pied by Mandan Indian villages. The fol
lowing day the boat went on up river
to the mouth OF the Yellowstone anc

days looked after and cared for the peo-

Gulf Ports Seen
AS Outlets For
Poultry Exports

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 9.-V1-
Texas Gulf ports are the logical out
let for most of the enormous exports
Of poultry products from this coun-
try and should exert every effort TO
obtain this lucrative trade in the
opinion of Ernest l.. Tut Of Houston
district manager Of the United States
department of commerce.
More than so per cent OF the Uni
ted States egg production is IN the
central north states and Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas, the logical
hitherland Of Texas ports, Mr.. Tut
said. Most Of the foreign markets
ARE nations along the EAST coas OF
South America, Caribbean countries
and Mexico, with which Texas ports
are strategically located to handle
the trade, he asserted.
Some idea OF immensely Of the
poultry and egg business in this
nation was revealed by comparative
figures compiled by Mr.. Tut The
value Of poultry and eggs produced
in this country in 1927 exceeded that
Of cotton by S29. 000, 900, these figures
showed. The z < aloae were valued
at $4,000 900 and egg production In
| creased from 1.294,O00. 900 dozen in
1899 to more than 1000, 600, 900 dozen
in 1927.

Water conditions were however unfavorable, and many of the fish, which appeared in good conditionv were not seen passing through-"either the Ash had no inclination tc do so, or they were not strcng enough" That some of them did pass tho Gate at that time Is evidenced by the fact that sockeye in numbers were seen short ly afterward iD both the Fraser and the Thompson above Lyton.
