Also machinery to equip the shop
will be shipped in. The buildings are
ready for shipment and machinery
for the shop already is packed and
ready to be forwarded, Morrison
said.
The new hangar and shop are to
be located south of the present
managers home. Sufficient space
will be left between the administra-
ton building and the new structures
to provide room for a modern pas
6enger station later.
Contract had been let for con-
struction of a roof garden over the
entire administration building and
awnings are to be put up. This will
provide a cool shady place for OBJ
serving flying activity on the field,
This will be ready in the next ten
days, Morrison said, provided the
weather is favorable.
Plans for activities at the field in
clude the operation of a school for
pilots of Pan-American Always
planes. Experienced pilots will be
brought here and with this as a base
will be given a course Of instruction
to fit them for flying in Central
and South America. Morrison said.
This is expected to bring several adj
ditional families to Brownsville.

rison said. 1t is possible for persons
living in almost every section OF the
United States to save one full day
in a trip to any point in Central or
South American by using the route
through Brownsville" Morrison de-
clared.
'"The only exception to this IS a
comparatively small section of the

In this area a trip by Miami, Fla

Mail planes already are oper-

neys for loop department stores will
ask a court decision holding such
forms Of betting to be gambling, de-
spite the state law ~legalizing the
machines at horse race tracks, at
torneys for the stores said today.
The attorneys will argue that the
law under which the machines OPP
crate is unconstitutional because 1t
refers only to horse races and there-
fore is class legislation.
The stores are said to be behind
the movement in order to discour-
age gambling with funds advanced

journey before the river would be too
low for travel. He was stranded until
the following spring, and perhaps
longer. 1t occurred to him that right
there at the mouth Of the Marias,
where former fur trading posts once
stood, would be a fine place to build
a town, a rival TO Fort Benton. Pas
sengers and goods delivered, there
would be saved thirty miles of travel
by water, while overland it was but
little farther to the mines than from
Fort Benton. Then, too, the site for
a town was ideal, with plenty of build
ing material and fuel near at hand.
How better could he employ the weary
months ahead than in carrying out this
scheme?
With this in view, Captain Moore,
now confident his boat would not be
injured or its contents stolen, started
for Virginia City to secure citizens for
his proposed town, and proved to be
an ideal boomer of real estate. Set
tiers commenced to arrive at the new
toWnsite, not a great number, to be
sure, for eastern Idaho had then but
few inhabitants, and those few not in
clined to be stationary. One large log
cabin was sufficient in size to house
them for the winter.
Meanwhile in the town up the river
things had been happening which oper-
ated d~isastrously for Captain Moore's
venture. A couple Of desperate char
acters murdered a Blood Indian, and
threw the body into the Missouri. III
news flies fast" and this was nc ex-
ceptiOn to the rule. 1t did not TAKE
long for the story Of the murder to
reach the Blood Indians in their terri
tory across the border, and at once,
with the coming of spring. a band Of
them, headed by Chief Calf Shirt, set
out to administer their brand Of JUS
tice to the white men.
May had brought its chinook winds
to melt the snow and soften the ice
that held the rivers in its embrace,
and more settlers found their way to
the great log cabin on the Marias. 1t
became evident more houses were
needed for their accommodation, and
daily a party went up stream to cut
the logs and build them.
On the 25th Of May, ten white men
and a negro went out for this pur-
pose. They we're ambushed by Calf
Shirts band, and every m killed.

who has never forgotten the dreadful
shock he felt at the sight. 1t was a
CORY spectacle that did not fail to i'm
press the adults who beheld it, and
because of it the town did not long
survive. The question arose, How
many white mems lives are required
to atone for the death of n Indian?"
and there being no Marias Times is

last page no one could tell. Perhaps
eleven served simply as an Introductory
number. The settlers, not caring to
await the solution of the problem,
shouldered their blankets and left for
safer localities, and Captain Moore,
having repaired the Cutler, steamed
away down river. In this manner

TIME ANNUAL convention OF the
Montana State Press Association is
only a memory now. AS far as
the writer knows 1t was convened
chiefly to elect a new third vice-presi-
dent, although that was practically the
last thing that was done, and care
lessly.
Henry Woare achieved new honors
as a singer, and for a time it seemed
as though a grand opera company had
camped at Many Glaciers instead OF
a bunch of news writers. All of the
singing was not done in public, and
some Of the best numbers having to
do with tomatoes, and a farmer who
never grew any cor at all, were done
in private. Sentimental songs, a hang
over from the late war, are still popu-
lar.
Same Old Jokes
The president, in his opening remarks,
if I remember rightly, deplored the
fact that some prize fighter had broken
into the association, and Mr.. Warden
found fault with the roads, suggesting
that a commission Of earnest men
should be appointed to look into the
matter, the men to be chosen at a
time when they were available Cloud

Colonel Allen replied by signs that IN
dictated an inquiry. .r..
Sitting Bull is asking" said Alien
to the captain of the steamer, II you

a vigorous frontier character.
Among his many adventures, as he
related the circumstances while sitting
in the gathering twilight one Sep
TENDER day in 1928, was his engage
ment, with other civilians in the early
summer of 1875, to build Fort Pease,
six miles below the mouth of the Big
Horn where it emptieS into the Vel
loWstone river. The construction work
vas menaced by the presence Of hos
tile Indians on the warpath. A wan
dering band Of savages, noting the
activities of the workers, made an at
tack and before organized resistance
could be effected seven workmen were
killed. Succeeding in holding their
ground, a meeting was called when an
informal election of officers took place.
It was then that Mr.. Allen was
elected to be Colonel" and his duties
were to stand constantly on guard.
The work proceeded. The fort, which
was to be used largely as a trading
post, was completed in June, 1875, and
abandoned in February, 1876, Mr.. Allen
stated. At the time of the relation OF
the facts he said that he was the last
survivor of that band of men engaged
in its building.
Saved a Man From Drowning
Colonel Aliens contacts with the In
dams Of Montana began in 1862. While
in st. Louis he was employed by the
American Fur company and was sent
by steamer to Fort Benton. His ad-
vent into the territory was marked
by an act of bravery, when he saved
q mar from drowning. His first bust
ness transaction followed when he
traded ten bullets and enough powder
for each one for a buffalo hide. Here
it was that he came in contact with
the Flathead and Piegans for the first
time. Evidences that the Indians far

Finding the Best Birds
Among Pilot Applicants

Some persons make better birds than
others.
To determine what persons have suf,
ficient birdllke qualities to make good
flyers the United States Department Of
Commerce has recently appointed 300
medical examiners to test candidates
for commercial flying licenses.
Perfect development OF certain spe-
cial senses are required In the good
aviator, says Hygela In commenting
editorlally on the development Of avia-
ton medicine. The aviator must use
his bodily organs for purposes for
which they were not intended. The
flight surgeon must pick men who will
be competent in the air and must
keep them in such condition that they
will not fail through physical defects
In their own bodies.
"More and more invention provides
substitutes for the senses men have
not developed, so that flying daily be-
comes safer" says Hygeia. "But the
time has not arrived when anyone who
wishes may pilot plane as men now
drive automobiles. Federal licenses
are required for flyers between states,
and many individual states are begin
ming to see the necessity for physical
examination before Issuing state IL
censes."
