Be1fry.
BY E. P. Conwell

On a radiantly beautiful summer
morning many years ago a young
man and maiden fair stood on
a little hiIlock overlooking the far
stretches of the upper Clark Fork
valley. The month was June, that
JOYOUS season of the year, when
Young lovers dream dreams and
vision happiness made perfect by
matrimony's holy pact; a time 1t
Is. of sunlit days and nights serene
when all Nature smiles at US IN
flowers, Frightening somber scenes
of earth. exhaling perfumes sweet
aud pleasing which are borne on
every passing breeze.
They stood as f transfixed gaz-
ing at the beauty of the scene that
stretched before them. To the east
there lay field of waving wheat
with sunshine and shadow alter
natly chasing each other over It's
billowy landscape. 1t gave promise
now of the coming of the harvest
time when the reaper would garn-
err in the golden grain pregnant
with health and strength, the carol
of the lark, tne dews of night and
summers sweet content, Just as
they hoped the harvests yet to be
would gather IN the riches of the
golden days and starlit dawns, and
dreamy, tawny eusks IN the glad
and joyous years that lay before
them.
Behind them were broad and
stretching acres which men were
pleased to cal desert; a region
of Jagged hills and deep worn gull
lies, made des0-ate by seant veg
citation, blighted by rattlesnakes
and dotted with sagebrush where
lean and hungry coyotes skulked
away from bleaehed bones.
To the southwark in the dist
ance, the scenic Beartooths lifted
their snowy heads with suggestions
of mountain brooks and sylvan
glens and the cool blur of mirror
lakes shining blue; vista always
beautiful, ever changing its piano.
rama of lights and shadows or
towering peaks and deep greer
valleys. A subtle sorcery, they
thought it must have been, thai
painted such wonderful, enehant-
ing and translucent tints of blut
and violet and purple there against
the sky.
No wonder the young lovers saw
rapturous visions of great wealth
on this, their wedding day, ant

Hope, that mental mirage callet

fore the plan was abandoned.
The first saloon, alas, was es-
tablished there by one RoNie Hat
field and the building it occupied
still stands ON the north side OF
Main Street, though it was not IN
its present location when Mr.. Hat
field and his assistants dispensed
liquid cheer and heartaehes and
headaches back in the decadent
DAYS that were. He sold one brand
of whiskey called Forty Rod which
it is said he distilled from con-
eoetion of sagebrush leaves, too-
aeco and prussie acid and 1t was
guaranteed not to fail. At night
when coyotes and jack rabbits
used to venture near the place and
get a whiff or two of its sweet
fragrance they used to go off into
the hills together and have grand
iamboree. Doubt the theory OF
heredity and prenatal influences,
as we may, but anyone with an ear
finely attuned to the voices of ma
ture can detect in the song of the
present day coyote unmistakable
strains of Sweet Adeline' and
Good Night Ladies' and the stud
emit of natural history will tell you
that the iackrabbits in that locality
appear to stagger and run side
wise even to the present day. How

Such, in part, is the early history
of Belfry. Today it is a flourish
ing little city of 800 people whose
children are being taught to uphold
the finest and best traditions OF
its founders and sturdy pioneers
who made it possible. Its schools
under the supervision of Prof. A.
70. Nelson are second to none. It's
churches and sunday schools are
we'll attended. Its citizenship IS
progressive and law abiding.
