That's the place to get a good job"
quoth young Harry, and off he went to
Honolulu.
He found a railroad only 40 miles
long. 1t was used chiefly to haul sugar
cane. With no job to be had, he saw
the sights OF Hawaii until he found
himself broke and hungry.
He applied for a job as cook on a
sugar ship bound for San Francisco
and considered himself lucky when he
was given a job peeling vegetables in
the ship galley.
The voyage required seven weeks.
When the ship arrived in San Fran
cisco the captain forbade shore leave
and to enforce his order anchored
nearly a mile from either shore.
Lantry went 'over the side and
swan to the wharf.
A stranger staked him to the price of
a telegram which brought him funds.
He bought himself a complete outfit,
filled up or choice sirloin and spent
three DAYS in a Turkish bath house.
He was holding down a key in Los
Angeles when the A. r. U. strike of
1894 broke. He walked out, went down
to Mexico and rustled a job as a time
keeper. Presently he became train dis
patcher on the Mexican Central.
IT'S impossible to keep a squirrel on
the ground" Harry had ever in the
back of his head that private car he
wa one day to occupy. Whether it
was because he didn't fancy the type
OF private car used in Mexico or be-
cause he found the chill con carne
lacking in pep, Lantry came back to
the States.
Dispatching jobs came easy and he
changed from n road to another as
often as his fancy dictated.
He became chief dispatcher for the
N. P. at Spokane, then train master,
and later division superintendent at
Glendive.
He was promoted to the office of
assistant to the first vice president.
When an organization of American
railway men for Russian service under
Kerensky was formed, Lantry volun-
teered. BY the time the party reached
Russia, Kerensky had been overthroWn.
The party was taken to Nagasaki, ia
| pan, where it remained seven months

Drunken Teamster Tied
His Horses to Fence amid
Walked Miles For DRINK

til the last drop vanished and through
a sudden jolt caused by the wagon
hitting a stone, the bottle slipped from
its holders trembling fingers to lie
by the roadside, smashed beyond re-
demption.
A sharp pull on the reins checked
the team, which patiently stood while
the driver laboriously climbed down
from his high seat ruefully to con-
template the ruin. Yes, it was ire
trievably lost, all but the intoxicating
scent of whisky, which the wind and
sun would soon dissipate. What could
a man do in such a case? The cob
Webby mind of this one pondered long
before finding an answer. One thing
was certain, his thirst increased in
stead of diminishing. How would it
be possible for him to crafty it?
Not far ahead lay Silver City where
saloons were not unknown, but they
were unfamiliar resorts to the driver,
lacking the camaraderie of the one he
had SC recently left in Helena. There
he had credit, and might have several
treats. The longer he pondered on this
the more insistent became the "hunch'
that he should return to Helena, and
at length he yielded to it.
Driving the team to a fence, the
half dazed man fastened them securely
to a post and, leaving them there,
started out on foot to Helena, One

time could have been saved by riding

capable of but one impression. He
must have a drink in the saloon OF
his choice.
YEARLY and by a devious path, the
pedestrian took his way as steadily
as possible, until, the miles accom-
plished, he reached Helena, the saloon
and it's liquid supply. Then followed
a day or SO of oblivion, before con-
seriousness returned, and the victim OF
thirst dimly recalled the team he had
left down in the valley.
Rousing himself from his semi-tOrpOl
he had sense enough to hire a horse
and apprehensively took the back-track
to where, according to the best of his
recollection, the team was tethered
filled with apprehension as to the fate
of the horses and of the freight the
wagon, or wagons, contained.
He found the horses still tied as they
we're left, but half dead from hunger
and thirst. Before feeding them o.
leading them to water, the driver
hastened to the wagon and opening the
canvas covering was rejoiced to SEE
the freight had not been touched, al
though the wagon stood close to the
main travelled road. This incident be.
ing true, it speaks well for the honesty
of Montanans in the period following
the drastic action of the vigilance com
mittee.
There was no Humane society func'
tioning then, and horses were frequent

in a saloon. when the drink is in, the

miles for a drink when they coule
easily have ridden, as did the uniden-
titled mar in the foregoing incident.

Young Harry had a leaning toward the

MHE recent death in Seattle OF Col
L. H. Lantry, general manager OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, ended
a remarkable career Of adventure. Col
onel Lantry was widely known in Mon
tana, having served for a number OF
years as division superintendent al
Glendive and for other years making
headquarters at Livingston when ne
was general superintendent. Colonel
Lantry rose from trackman to general
manager by his w unalded efforts.
It wa 80 years ago that Lantry,
who already had worked in most OF the
American states and in two foreign
countries, walked into the Office OF A.
G.. Kahn, chief dispatcher for the
Northern Pacific, at Spokane, Wash,
an applicant for a job as train dis
patcher.
"A fine specimen you are coming
here for a job" was the greeting from
Mr.. Kahn. "A nice pair OF sinners you
have. What happened on your last
job?"
Lantry, throwing a side glance be-
cause the bulge below his eyes would
not permit him to look straight, threw
back his shoulders and did his best
to take on the demeanor of a train
dispatcher.

them honestly"
Lantry explained that he had been
in q collision the night before while a
train was running between Everett and
Spokane and that he had been injured
by an impact with a door. The North
ern Pacific official had heard of the
collision and, although skeptical, took
the applicant into the Office of F.. w.
Gilbert, division superintendent, where
arrangements were made for him to go
to work.
The next day, Sept. IL, 1900, T. H.
Lantry went to work for the Northern
Pacific as a train dispatcher. That
was the beginning of a service which
took MI. Lantry to the position of gen.
eral manager of the Northern Pacific.

T. H. Lantry was born at McGregor,

in 1870. Algona was the terminus of
the railroad in those days and the sta
