stands and skirting the Beartooth
mountains, finally reaching the Still
water.
On the trip, there were innumerable
streams TO cross and while most of
them were small at some seasons of the
year, the fording of them was attend
ed with difficulty and danger. Mr..
Deane recalls that on one trip there
was a parcel of cheap towels with red
borders which some ranch owner had
ordered from a Chicago mail order
company, even at that time doing a
flourishing mail business in the stock
country. There was also a fiddle which
some cowboy was having sent out to
him. In crossing the Greybull river
the mule fell down in the middle of
the stream and when he finally strug-
gled to shore the mail sacks were thor
oughly soaked and the coloring from
the towels had run all over the rest of
the mail. The violin also had been
smashed teyond repair and there were
some reploachful patrons along the
line.
There were several Frenchmen, most
of them of the old nobility, of whom
the chief was the Comte du Dore, who
were in the cattle business in the
Sinking Water country in those days.
Most of them had come to the country
first as hunters and all were ardent
sportsmen. On the return trips, Deane
was frequently entrusted with the head
OF a buffalo or other big game trophy
to be taken to some taxidermist and
then perhaps sent on to grace some
ancestral hall as evidence of the proW-
ess of its owner. The transporting of
heads of wild game was quite a prof
liable side line as the Frenchmen paid
well for their safe delivery. Richard
Ashworth and James Johnston also
al a large cattle outfit which attract
ed young Englishmen in search of adj
venture.
Although Mr.. Deane's service as a
mail carrier ended in the spring of
1884, he was not through with the post
al service for he afterwards served for
26 years as postmaster at Sunshine, a
small station on Woods river, Is miles
from Meeteetse. AT first he rugged up
a beer case system Of %postOffice boxes.
A government inspector objected to the
informality of the postoffice arrange
ments and vas ordered to take back
the office. Mr.. Deane says that a re-
volver, which was conspicuously dis
played, gave him a hard reputation
among the postal inspectors but that

which the ~postoffice stayed at Sun

1t was in 1872 that Deane, while still
in his teens, ran away from his Penn
sylvania home to seek adventure in the
west. He found plenty of it. AS a
government scout and dispatch car
rier he saw service through Montana
and Wyoming, making long trips alone
through long stretches of wild land
whose only inhabitants were hostile In
dians.
He was with the forces that were
sent up to bury Clusters men after
Gibbons forces had discovered the dis
aster. He heard the soldiers tell of

ROAD PLANS

INTO WASHINGTON, IDAHO
AND OREGON
Many Western Newspapers Inquire
About Program to Pull Montana
Out Of the Mud" Great Loss Suf-
fered From Bad Roads.

M0ntana's road program has at
tracted notice of sister states to such
an extent that many newspapers arc
making inquiries as to the actual
program being made toward pulling
Montana out of the mud"
The Wenatchee (Wash.) World de-
votes front-page space and a three
column head, reading. Golden Flood

moves Barrier" to a story OF Montana's
road progress.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer carried
a story stating that the counties of
Montana, following the example set by
Silver Bow county, are matching feder-
al aid funds in their desire to see Mon
tana's bodybuilding program carried to
an early conclusion"
In Wenatchee World story the state
ment is made that, with the completion

lowStone park to the West, an intensive
effort will be made to keep westbound
travellers in Montana. Wenatchee and
central Washington, the article con-
tinues, will reap the benefit of this"
Montana is cOmplimented in its spirit
in attacking its road problem. The Sit
uation is summarized as follows.
Aroused to the losses they were suf-
fering from bad roads, Montana people
got together on a program of getting
Montana out of the mud.
"By combined effort they succeeded
in having their federal aid and forest
service road funds doubled for the next
two years and, in addition the legisla-
ture last month voted a scent gasoline
tax.
with the millions of dollars thus as
sured, a program of completing several
bad places in the translate highways
has been started, much of which will be
finished this year."
While bad road conditions prevailed
in Montana, the World states, the tour
list public leaving Yellowstone park for
the coast followed the highways into
Idaho and avoided those in this state,
to the injury of Washington as we'll as
Montana. The changed program will
mean millions to both states, the paper
predicts.

Happenings ait Lisa's Fort

sacre OF the 20 or 30 men who went ur
the Jefferson to trap, which finally de-
clded Menard to abandon the post and
return 10 Fort Union. Trappers were
used to a hard life and constantly
laced danger in some form; they ran
the gauntlet of bears and Indians else
where. The trouble at Three Forks was
that. although they were in a region
teemlng with beaver, they could not
trap them in sufficient numbers TO be
profitable because Of the relentless en-
nifty of the Indians.
Then men who went down the YELL
loWStone with Menard made the jour-
ney IN boats of buffalo hide stretched
over frames similar to mackinaws in
shape. There were three of these
boats. the n on which was General
James held three men, 60 steel traps,
500 beaver skins, besides guns, ammuni-
ton and other supplies"
On reaching LiSa's fort, they spent
some time in making river-Worthy an
abandoned keel boat, in which they
continued their journey to st. Louis.
They found the eros Ventres had
robbed their cache, leaving the trap
pers SO much the poorer.
Today, as the traveller rolls along
through the beautiful valley where the
three rivers unite to form the Mis-
souri,, how many of them are there who
give a thought to the gruesome deeds
enacted in this spot? l heard a noted
educator call the attention of a strang-
err TO the union of the waters. He
treated 1t as a geographical fact, max
ing no reference to the history Of the
region. 1t was a tame recital. Yet
there brave men once fought against
Indians and wild beast until, exhaust
ed by the struggle, what were left of
them acknowledged defeat and gave up
IN despair. We know a little of what
happened there at Lisa's post on Three
Forks, but the half has not been told.
Although, like other trappers, Cen
eral James had been forced to regard
Indians as foes, yet he was magnani-
mous enough to pay them this tribute.

ERRONEOUS IDEAS
OF INDIAN NAMES
LITTLE KNOWN AMONG
WESTERNERS
Many Are Misleading; FIathead Tribe
Did Not Flatten Heads rs Popularity
Supposed; Cayuse Named After In
dian Tribe of Washington.

Names history has handed to tribes
of northwestern red men are as err
roneous, from the standpoint of ac-
curacy, as the designation, red men,
for the Indians are not red.
The Flatheads of Montana and
eastern Washington were supposed to
have flattened skulls of their infants
by imprisoning them between two
boards. They didn't was the
Chinooks of western Washington who
flattened the heads of their aristo-
cracy.
The Nez Perces, pierced noses" were
supposed to have pierced their nostrils
for the insertion of small bone orna-
ments. AS a matter of fact, very few,
if any, Nez Perces did this.
The Cayuses were supposed, in the
popular mind, to have been named af-
ter the little western pony, the cayuse.
The pony was really named after the
tribe, because its members had SO many
OF them. There is some authority for
to do with either the Indians or the
horses. "Cayuse" might have been de-
rived from the French word, "Cailloux, "
meaning pebbles.
The Couer d'Alenes have a poetic
name and many beautiful guesses as to
it meaning have been advanced. The
real origin was probably rather un-
poetic.
The story is told of a French Cana
dian voyager, who advised his friends,
don't trade with the tribe on the lake
near Spokane, they are sharp traders
and they have hearts like avis" That
hung the name Occur d'Alene, 'awl
hearts" or pointed hearts" upon them.
Another tribe was called "Yakimas,"
meaning runaways, although it was
noted for the bravery of its warriors.
The Great Spirit did not love the Wal
la Wallas SO well that he named them
twice" as has been said. 1t would APP
pear that the name was derived from
"wana," a river. In its diminutive
form, it meant little river"
The Shoshones were called the
Snakes. for a most fallacious reason.
They were great weavers, it would ap-
pear, and in making the serpentine
motions of weaving with their fingers,
those who saw them wiggling the digits
understood that the Shoshones re-
garded themselves as snakes.
The Sans Polls, to judge by the name,
wore no hair, but the evidence shows
that they generally did, except those
warriors who had an encounter With
an enemy scalping knife.

Garvin denied the allegation convinced
him that the less said the better. Deane

G. w. U. SQUAD SEEKS
PLACE TO PRACTICE

Under the direction of the recently
appointed director Of athletics, James
e. Pixlee, candidates for George Wash
ington University's foot ball team will
begin work Monday. Just where the
Colonials will drill has not been de-
termined, but Il is understood it may
be the Central High Stadium. The
Central squad left today for its train
ing base at Annapolis.
Several letter men will be In 1.-The
squad of around 80 scheduled to report
to Pixlee. The candidates will gather
Monday morning at the university
gymnasium to receive directions for the
afternoon drill. Morning and afternoon
sessions thereafter will be the order
until school opens.
It appears that Pixlee's biggest prob
lem win be to develop strong back
field. Clapper, Clements, Berkowitz,
Vernon and Frazier, seasoned players
are to return, but for the most part
the other candidates for posts behind
the line are shy on experience.
M. Frazier, Goldman, the two Millers.
Parks, Eberly, Swartout, Davis, Fran
els, McGrew, Purdy, Van Meter,
Porter, Wilson and Karl Hardy are the
main line aspirants. Hardy Is being
counted on as the regular center. He
played two years at Utah University
Clements, 1928 center, is listed for a
backfield job. Porter has shown ability
at tackle. but was forced to forego
school last year for work.
