Roping Wolf, Russell
Painting is Purchased
by Billings %Sheepmar

An original water color by Charles M.
Russell, Montana's first cowboy artist,
recently took its place as the Prize
possession of Joseph A. danlon, Who
purchased the painting at Great FAILS
The painting, familiar to millions
under the title of "Roping the Wolf
was recently purchased from Edward
II. Cooney of Great Falls, a friend Of
the late cowboy artist.
Valued at more than $4,000, the
painting vas executed in 1899, before
Russell had achieved fame and adopted
oil to portray the west as he knew 1t
1t had hung in the Park hotel at Great
Falls for many years before beng pur-
chased by Mr.. Hanlon.
The efforts of two range riders to
rope a huge gray lobo are depicted in
the painting with the trueness to de-
tail and tenseness of style that made
Russells work outstanding. 1t was IN
memories of days and nights spent in
the saddle that led the Billings stock
man to negotiate for the picture.
Mr.. Hanlon came to Montana when
II years old and became a circle
rider. He later punched cows for many
of the largest outfits in the state and
since that time has nursed an ambi-
ton to secure one of the great Mon
tanan's early works.

He had always been friendly to the
whites and more than once he saved
them from disaster.
A year later the Indians received
supplies from the government, includ-
ing ploWS and wagons and an effort
was made to teach them to cultivate
the farms they had located. But the
Indians were not farmers and their
condition became deplorable. The
country was rapidly becoming settled
and they could nc longer hunt; the
white men were even taking their
horses range.
When Chariot Moved
Arlee died in 1881, and the govern
ment thought that Chariot might be
placated SO they sent General Caring
ton to try to induce him to move. 1t
was an opportune time, and after con-
sulting with his few white friends,
Chariot spoke thus. II will go-I and
my children. My young men are be-
coming bad; they have no place to
hunt. My young women are hungry.
For their sake / will 60. / do not want
the land you promise. l do not believe
your promises. All I want is enough
ground for my grave. We will go over
there"
Immediately the arrangements were
made and Charlots last march began.
Down the river he marched his people,
down through the fields where they
had played as children and had hunted
as men. Sadly and slowly he took uI
the trail to the new home; a journey
with no returning. Out past Fort
Owen, across the river and down the
valley. Every step that carried him
away from his old home was a silent
token of submission to the white mems
law; a submission he could not bear
and which broke his heart.
And the trail will stand a monu-
ment to the memory of Chariot, the
Indian whose white friends broke his
heart.

Jocko reservation and Arlee was desig-
mated chief Of the Flatheads by the
government. This added to Charlot's
resentment and he continued stubborn
ly to maintain his lodge at Stevens
vile.
Finally the matter got to congress
and Senator Vest of Missouri and Ma
jor Maginnis, Montana's delegate in
congress, were appointed to investl-
gate. They visited Chariot and heard
his story and its confirmation by Fa-
Their Ravalli and believed him. They
then forced General Garfield TO admit
that Chariot had not signed the treaty.
The original document or file at Wash
ington did not bear the old mans
mark. He gave as his reason for pub
fishing that untruth that he thought
when Chariot saw how the work was
progressing, he would conclude to join
the other chiefs and keep the tribe
united. These men then tried TO per-
suade Chariot to 90 to the Jocko, but
the old warrior was bitter and sore at
heart and would not yield.
Later, in 1884, Major Roman took
Chariot and five Of his s%ub-chiefs to
Washington for a conference with the
president and the secretary Of the in
terror. There, after a long and futile
argument, Chariot was told he might
remain in the Bitter Root valley as
long as he was friendly to the whites

BLOW TO
JOHN BARLEYC0RN
ENFORCEMENT MEN SAY THEY
WILL DESTROY FIXTURES
OF SPEAKEASIES

Following in rapid sequence on the
new prohibition enforcement policies
in Butte, Great Falls and other towns
of Montana, announcement has been
made by federal authorities that in
the future all personal property,
equipment and furnishings found in
places where liquor is sold will be
subject to seizure by government
agents. The procedure is regarded
as a distinct and severe blow to those
engaged in the liquor traffic.
In a statement issued at Butte, How
ard Johnson, assistant United States
district attorney, declared the govern
ment always maintained the right to
seize any or all personal property found
in a building, yard or Enclosure where
liquor was found to be made or sold.
The government has not at all times
in the past chosen to enforce this
perogative but will do so in the future,
it was stated.
This MEANS" said Mr.. Johnson,
that in the future all furnishings
found in barrooms or where liquor is
sold will be seized. 1t also means that
in cases where liquor is sold In pri-
vate homes or houses, the government
has the right to conflscate all per-
sonal property contained therein.
In the future all liquor law viola
tons will be followed by abate-
ment, libel and information proceed
ings."
Following the announcement of Mr..
Johnson, 35 information suits and nine
libel suits we're filed against alleged
vlOlatOrS OF the prohibition law In the
office of the clerk OF the federal court
at Butte. A total OF II OF the de-
PENDANTS were for Great Falls, three
for Helena, five for Butte, eight for
Billings, and two for Missoula.
Actions demanding forfeitures Of
property seized when the new offensive
was launched at Butte were filed and
the property included an electric piano,
q radio, overstuf1ed furniture, electric
fans. ice boxes. etc.

(By MARGERY HAWKINS)

EROM Stevensville, in the heart of
the Bitter Root valley, to the Jocko
reservation, winds an old trail. No
where IN earth is there a more beauti-
full trail and certainly none with more
tragic memories. 1t was over this trail
that Chariot, chief Of the Flathead In
dams, led his little band when he left
the valley that was his and went to
the place allotted him on the Jocko
reservation by the white men. Chariot
is dead: General Darlington, who i'll
duced Chariot to sign the treaty, is
dead; but the trail will ever stand a
monument to that grim old warrior
who made his last march over it. The
pines still murmur their sympathy and
the rustling grasses whisper the pro-
testations that Chariot never uttered.
They tell of a noble warrior, who loved
and protected his white friends and
when they tricked and betrayed him,
disillusioned, h~eartbroken and humili-
ated, he turned his back on all that
was dear to him and sought but a
place for a grave.
Chariot was the son Of Victor, who
in 1855, with Alexander and Mitchell,
signed a treaty with General Stevens.
Victor made a speech at the close of
the council in which he specified that
the Great Father was to come and
look over the country. He said: when
you look at Alexander's place and the
land is good and say Come, Victor,
I will go. If you think my land is
good then Victor will say Come, Alex
ander,' then our children will be con-
tent. That is the way we will make
our treaty"
Federal Promises Broken
That, in effect, was the substance
Of the treaty which was signed. The
government also promised to send car
penters, blacksmiths, artisans and
teachers. The government made no
surveys, sent no carpenters, black
smiths, artisans or teachers as prom
ised. Instead, 81 years later, an order
was issued which decreed that all the
Indians be transferred to the Jocko
reservation. Congress appropriated
SIS 1000 to defray the expense of removal,
and in 1882 General Garfield was dis
patched to the Bitter Root to arrange
a treaty covering the removal. 1t was
in August, 1882, that General Garfield
came. He said in his official report
that he found the Indians unwilling to
move, because for 81 years the govern
ment had taken no steps to carry out
the He'll Gate treaty. However, Gen
eral Garfield prepared an agreement

RETIRED TEACHERS
GET $500 A YEAR
REVENUE OF RETIREMENT FUND
ABOUT EQUALS INCOME
FOR PAST YEAR
Now 146 Teachers on Pension Roll;
Law Authorizes Payment Of $500 Per
Year, But Revenue insufficient to
Permit Payment.

The teachers retirement fund,
otherwise the fund that provides PEN
siOns for the teachers Of Montana,
has remained about the same for the
past year in respect to the amount of
revenue ii has produced for the pay-
ment of pensions. The pension paid
teachers the previous year was $500,
and the same amount probably will
be paid this year, although the first
quarterly payment, made the first of
March, was but $50. The income
varies somewhat i'm respect to the
quarter-years. The next payment
probably will be S110, and the aver
age per quarter 500.
There was a net decrease of three
in the number of pensioned teachers
during the quarter between January ]
and March 81. In January there were
149 on the list, while there were but
lac the first of April. During the
three months six were taken from the
list and three added. The three added
we're teachers who had become eligible
for the pension.
Of the six teachers who ceased to
be pensioners, n returned to teach
ing. -Four died, and one failed to COM
ply with the retirement law. She may
possibly be returned to the list and re.
ceive the pension. One of the pecu-
liarities of the pension law is the fac
that while death removes one from the
pension list, marriage does not.
Under the present system there
seems little prospect of increasing the
annual pension beyond $500. There is
a public school teachers permanent
retirement fund, which contains rough
ly $4,000, and it does not increase
or decrease to any extent. 1t is in
vested in bonds, though some part may
be in cash temporarily when bonds
are redeemed.
The income that meets the pensions
is derived from this fund and 81 q
month paid into what is called the
teachers retirement fund.
Since 1t takes all of the income from
the teachers payments and the inter-
est derived from the invested fund tc
provide the $500 q year being paid at
present, the prospect of increasing the
annual pension at present seems slight
though the law authorizes the payment
Of 5000 a year. Some means Of in
creaSing the permanent fund or the
payments made by the teachers OF the
state will have to be found in all prob
ability before the annual pension can
be raised to the authorized level Of $500

GOIOVlN RAGE BEGUN BUT NOW HALTED DUE TO BLIZZARD AND
 DISAPPEtRANCE
 ED. KOHN

The All Alaska Sweepstakes
 Championship Race from Nome to Golovin and return distance of 166 miles started last Friday,
 March 2Sth, all teams finished at
 Golovin except Ed. Rohn. After q reasonable length of time dog teams from Golovin were dispatch cd out in the face of storm to look for the missing racer but up tc late last night no word had been received as to his where- abouts. At 1880 p.nf. today word was received over the telephone from Golovin that Rohn's- team of eight dogs had been found about
 8. or 4 miles from Golovin but the driver, Ed. Rohn. and the ninth dog in his team which acts as a loose leader, are still missing.
 More teams have been dispatch cd to search for him and every thing possible is being done to locate him and bring him in to Golovin. There is only one thing in his favor, and that is, that while the storm is fierce it is not extremely cold, he may have stuff cred fall from his handle bars which may have stunned him and left him helpless on or off the trail. The average racing dog team will not go very far from where the driver has been missed, occasion ally though you will find a dog team like Scotty Ailyn's when miss ing its driver will turn around and go look for him. In this case it seems that the dogs after some distance and not being urged on by their driverless evidently laid down and waited for him or some one to tell them what next to do.
 According to those who know the trail it would place the dog team about half way across the frozen bay in front of Golovin. There is little doubt that if Rohn vas injured he will be found with in a few hours and brought back to safety.
 Manager Johnson of the Alaskan Airways Inc, who happens to be Nerrv- +-sfA Fairbanks, has or dered the two Fairchild planes which have been engaged in trans rorting gasoline to Siberia, to pro- ceed to Nome from Teller immediat- ely when he and Alfred Lomen and Dan Crowley will proceed with pilots Crosson and Young to
