RADIO HOOKUP
Elaborate Program In Chicago's New
Union Station Marks Beginning Of
Faster Service to Pacific Coast. Old
Schedules Are Strapped.

Colonel Robert p. Lamont, Sec
rotary of commerce, signaled the
departure of the Great Northern's
new fast transcontinental train,
The Empire Builder, on its initial
trip from Chicago to the Pacific
Coast on the night Of June 10.
With Chicago's new union passen-
ger terminal as the key in a unique
chain broadcast, the first flight OF The
Empire Builder, so named in honor Of
James j. Hill, was put IN the air In
what is said to have been one of the
most novel and ingenious hookups ever
undertaken by the National Broadcast
ing cOmpany'S technicianS
The program, in addition to a brief
talk by Secretary Lamont from Wash
ington, d. c., included T. I. Newman,
president of the American Association
Of Railroad Ticket Agents; G. o. jerks,
operating vice president of the Great
Northern; Chief Two Guns White Calf
of Glacier National park, who saw the
first rails approach across the buffalo
plains, and Reginald Werrenrath, grand
opera baritone.
The Empire Builder, with new equip
ment and fast schedule, coupled with
the Great Northcrn'S announcement
that it would not be an extra fare
train, resulted In the scrapping Of vtr-
tually all train schedules west Of the
Mississippi, a general speeding up OF
train service, and withdrawal Of some
extra fare trains.

CEVERAL Frenchmen of the old no
bility, notably a Comte du Dore who
was the head of a cattle firm which
had large ranches nea the present
Cody, Wyo., are frequently mentioned
in the early annals of Billings. Billings
also saw something of the fiery Mar
quis de Mores who once had all prepar-
atoms made to start a s%laughtering
house n packing plant there in ex-
tending his Medora pipe-dream.
The Comte du Dore was a stalwart
mar more than six feet tall but without
h dramatic and visionary tendencies
OF the animated marquis. He with some
OF the other Frenchmen in the enter
prise had been first attracted TO the
country while hunting game in the
Big Horn and neighboring mountains.
Most of these had been officers in the
Franco-Prussian war and some of them
had been prisoners in Germany for a
brief period toward the close Of the
war.
All of them we're cosmopolitans; men
OF wealth and fine family who had
wandered over the globe seeking adj
venture. In the Big Horns, which had
attracted SportSmen and big game
hunters Of every nationality, they found
with its wild life.
With the final subduing of the hostile
Indians, cattle ranching on the open
range was starting up everywhere and
to men OF means, early successes
seemed to pave the way to new for
tunes. The immortal way of life on the
great cattle ranches had a peculiar ap-
peal to the imagination Of men of rank
in both France and England.
The French companies in the Stink
ing Water country were started about
1880 and were well established when
the Northern Pacific built through
southern Montana in 1882, a hundred
miles to the north. There were two
more or less associated outfits known
Crown ranch was on Trail creek about
q mile and a half from where Cody is
now, and the Shield ranch on Cotton
wood creek about five or six miles
further up the Sinking Water, now
known as the ShOShOne river, one of
the principal tributaries of the Big
Horn river.
After it's establishment Billings be-
came the trading point for the entire
district in which the French colony was
located. The early papers of the town
chronicle the goings and comings of
the Frenchmen who frequently returned
to france for the winter season, coming
back in the spring.
In a list of cattle firms established
near the Montana Wyoming boundary
published in the Billings Post in Aug
ust, 1882, is named Comte du Dore and
Brother, Trail creek: and Bonnemain
and Weis, Pat OHara creek. Baron
de Bonnemain is mentioned several
times. An item in the Billings Herald
OF August IT., 1883, says Baron de
Billings last summer in company with
the Comte du Dore, is registered at the
Headquarters. He has been spending
some months in southern California
and may return there and devote him.

The more spectacular Marquis de
Mores appears to have had no rela-
tons with the Sinking Water colony.
He was in Billings several times while
making a compact with the leading
citizens for a branch packing plant to
supply his refrigerator car plan of
marketing beef. Billings carried out
its part Of the bargain to supply a site
and build and fill an EGGPLANT but the
marquis became too deeply involved to
ever carry out his plans. While the
scheme was in the air, however, the
marquis was looked upon as a public
benefactor whose enterprise would help
in realizing the grandiOse visions Of q
new metropolis OF the west.

This Is essentially reasonable

all the difference between a pitch
to the green and O hard iron or a
spoon shot, sometimes from a dis
