Big Horn, Kelly, who had been trapping
in the western part Of the state, came
down the Yellowstone river in a skiff
bringing his belongings behind in a bull
boat, to offer his services against the
Sioux. According to General Miles
yellowstone" Kelly killed a bear or
his way and sent the bear claws to him
as his calling card before making ap-
plication for the position of scout.
During the next three or four years
Kelly was chief Of scouts for Genera.
Miles and much of the celebrity with
which that officer was able to nov
in his vigorous prosecution of the cam
paigns against the Sioux and Cheyenne
was due to Kelly's intimate knowledge
Of eastern Montana. Kelly was also
guide for Miles when he cut across
northern Montana to intercept anC
compel the surrender of Chief Joseph
and the Nez Perces at the Bear Paw
Mountains, after they had eluded al
the other forces in the field.
Kelly had a number of narrow es-
capes from death during these cam
paigns. At one time he was fired or
by his own men who thought the scout
was an Indian. At another time, he

He vas a guide for several explor-

including the Hartman expeditions fol-

In Philippines
During the Philippine insurrection
Kelly was in command in several en-
gagements and was acting governor al
Surigao, where he and a companion
were besieged for Is months by Fill
pino mobs. His conduct gained the
special commentator of Presiden'
Roosevelt, a close personal friend who
had known him in the Little Missouri
country.
He was appointed by Roosevelt In

engaged in mining in Nevada and ther
in the fruit business in California, dur

Just across the river from Kelly
mountain is Smallpox Bluff, where
Crow Indians committed suicide in an
effort to appease the anger of the Great
Spirit that he might stay the spread
of a smallpox epidemic which was WHIP
ing out the band.
Ghost Town
Almost within the shadow of Kelly
mountain lies the old ghost town OF
CoulSOn, predecessor of Billings, which
in 1877 Captain Marsh made the head
of navigation on the Yellowstone with
the steamer, Josephine. There for a
score of years the tree to which Marsh
tied his steamer stood, but a spring
flood one year washed it away and its
site has since been forgotten.
yellowstone" Kelly was the favorite
scout of General Miles, and regarded
by him as the most able Of all the
frontiersmen who served the regular
army as guides during the days OF In
dian warfare. A soldier of the Union
army in the Civil war, while yet a
mere lad, after many years of service
on the plains in various capacities,
rounded out his army career as a cap
tain of volunteers IN une Spanish
American war, and was later promoted
to major, after a distinguished career
in the Philippines.
Near the close of the Civil war, al
though only Is years old, Kelly sue
ceeded in getting into the army and
guarded prisoners near Richmond. He
remained with the army for several
years in active service in Minnesota,
then on the frontier, where he learned
the ways of Indian warfare.
Trapped and Hunted
After leaving the service in 1868, he
struck out into the WildS of the Da-
kotas and Montana where for the next
seven years he trapped, hunted and
explored wide areas where no white
man lived except at widely separated
trading posts and army forts. His wan
behring's were usually alone and he went
into regions where no others dared to
penetrate except in large forces.
During these years he had more than
n narrow escape from death at the
hands Of hostile Sioux and other tribes.
Once, while carrying messages TO Fort
BufOrd at the junction OF the Yellow
stone and Missouri rivers, he was at
tackled by two Sioux Indians. He killed
one and then succeeded in routing the
other from behind a tree, wpunding and
capturing him. For this exploit he
was dubbed, Man With the Big Heart,
by admirers in the friendly tribes
Kelly frequently bore dispatches with
out an escort in regions where no one
else would venture and was always
successful In reaching his destination.

METEOR CRATER
PHOTOGRAPHED
REMARKABLE PICTURE OF ENOR-
NOUS PIT IN ARIZONA MADE
BY ARMY MEN
Measuring Four-fifths of a Mile Across
and $40 Feet Deep, Crater Shows Re-
suit of Terrific Impact of Huge
MeteOrite.

Scientists engaged in the study of
the craters of the moon are indebted
to the United States army air corps
for a remarkable view of the meteor
crater e WinslOw, Ariz, according
to a recent announcement of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
which says that only a picture TAX
IN from the air, such as this, could
show the close resemblance to lunar
craters apparent upon comparison"
The Arizona pit, ~four-fifths of a
mile across, and $40 feet deep, is said
to be the result of the impact Of q
huge meteorite. Evidences of the ter
rifle collision are all abOuM The slopes
are Uttered with crushed rock. There
are boulders, some weighing 1000 tons,
near the edges Of the crater; and fur
ther off rocks that we're thrown OF
at the impact-some a half-mile away.
Though various drilling attempts have
been made, the main mass Of the
meteOrite has never been discovered
Photographs of the moon, made with
the 100-inch telescope Of the Mount
Wilson observatory, show lunar craters,
Of which 10000 have been mapped.
Many are much larger than the meteor
crater in Arizona. Indeed, some Of
them reach diameters of SO, 60 and
even 100 miles and depths of 10000
feet. Some scientists have advanced
the theory that each of the lunar era
tiers was formed in the same way the
Arizona crater was, though others, It
is said, do not accept that view.
1T was not until at Meteor, Ariz.,
standing on the brink of a great cavity
nearly a mile across, which had been
smashed into the hard rocks by some
tremendous mass falling from the skies,
that l approached fully the reality Of
the world of things in outside space"
DR.. John G. Merriam, president Of Car
negie Institution of Washington, said
in a recent address.
II remember that a friend who stood
with me looking into the opening said
when We found a piece of the meteor,
Well, there is something out there In
the sky, after ALL
"As we were climbing down into the
great hole made by this messenger
from the outside universe my friend
pointed to the wrinkled face Of the
moon, hanging just over the edge Of
the pit, and expressed the hope that
we could some time experience the
reality of a body floating, actually
floating, in space around us-and that
we might appreciate it with a degree
Of assurance comparable to that in
spired by the meteor crater ITSELF"

Back in the east, and particularly in
New York City, they still think we're
all wild and maybe "woOlly" out here
in Montana, and the idea doesn't
seem to change much as it travels
westward across the country-at least
as far west as Sioux City, Iowa.
A recent issue of the Sioux City
Tribune carried a story OF the
roundup of wild horses" in Montana,
and the subject set fire to the reporters
Imagination. This is what he said.
"Out on the great range lands Of
Montana roam thousands of wild
horses. Each summer the cowboys go
out to round them up. In the open
plains the task is relatively easy, but
as the hunt progresses the willy horses
retreat into the broken bad lands,
where ancient upheavals of earth have
left long gullies, deep canyons, tumbled
hills and high buttes. In such country
the task of finding them is almost i'm
possible.
And here is where things are get
ting scrambled. The roundup Of wild
horses is a relic of the old west. 1t is
done just as it vas done half a cen
tury ago.. The cowboys are riders Of
the old, almost legendary breed. But
Niiio Jtdl sNoi pbSJ ~ SUNS w
use airplanes!
The airplanes. car do a lot of things
that the cowboys cannot. They can
soar high over the bad lands and spy
out the hiding places of the untamed,
roaming herds. They can easily balk
the cunning of the wild fugitives. This
years roundup, accordingly will be
more successful than any that have
gone before.
Most of us have had time to get
reconciled to the fact that the old west
is gone. We are aware that few cow
boys carry six-shooters any more. and
we know perfectly we'll that the pic
turesque, lawless old ways have slipped
oven the last frontier, gone forever. Yet
this business Of airplanes is a bit OF
a shock. What have airplaneS to do
with Montana %roundups?
1T may be that this new era viii
be quite as satisfying and heartwarm-
ing as the old, once we get used TO 1T.
But there is no use denying that, with
the passing of the old, we have lost
something valuable. An epoch in hui
man history is closing. No longer can
a man go to distant frontiers and
stand or fall on his own unaided ef-
forts. He cannot escape from the ma
chimes"

An idea of the use OF federal aid
funds in highway development is re-
vealed in the official statement that in
the last fiscal year improvements were
completed on 1874 miles. The cost of
these improvements amounted to
$205, 600, 900, to which the government
contributed $88, 00O, 900. From July,
1916, to November 80, 1923, there had
been completed 73,715 miles Of federal
aid projects at a cost of $271, zoo, 900.
Advanced stages were made on 2,014
miles.
The extent of highway activities to-
day in the United States is revealed by
statistics for 1923. In that year the
48 state highway departments reported
nearly 10000 miles of construction. Re-
ports of 46 states reveal there were
7,763 miles of unimproved road that
were improved; 1886 miles were sur
faced and $500 miles paved. In 1927
there were 1871 miles graded, 1880
miles surfaced and 1928 miles paved
The trend today throughout the United
States is for the paved road OF hard
surfaced road. The latter designation
is oil processing, which has been found
very satisfactory where traffic is not
heavy. Paving only is to be considered
where traffic is heavy.

MILLION MORE CARS
 IN 1928 THEN 1927

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Almost Il 100000 more automobiles were produced in the United States in 1928 than in 1927
 This startling increase in pro duction is based on the reports for the first II months of the year, and an estimate for December, ex- act figures for which are not yet available.
 Manufacturers forecast an even larger increase for 1929 because of added road mileage contemplated and the increasing demand for au- tomobiles abroad,
 The production figures for each month in 1928 follows. January 231,72S; February, 2S,796; March, 413,796; April, 41e,104; May 425,- 7s3; June, 396,796; July, 392.07G; August, 461, ,29S; September, 415.- 2S5; October, 997 7O96; and Novem- Der, 256,936. The figures for De- cember are almost certain to ex- ceed the 1927 mark for the twelfdl month of 133,571 automobiles. ex- perts say.
 Although many factories were preparing for production of new models and slowed production of their 1928 designs, more motor ye- hicles were shipped from factories in the United States in November than in the same month of 1927 Reports made to the department of commerce shoY that 256,92e mo- ter vehicles of which 217256 were passenger cars and 39,6S0 were trucks, were produced in Novem- Der. These figures compare fa- vorably with 134,370 vehicles pro- duced in the same month in 1927.
 Approximately 100000 automo- piles were produced in 1928 while 3,4O1 1926 were shipped from their factories in 1927. The 1928 pro- duction figures may pass the 4.- 10000 mark when all reports arc made.
