The First Christmas Tree
Was Inn Great Falls. 1888

WELL remember the first Christ
mas. tree in Great Falls-then the
village of Great Falls. for there we're
but few houses here ut that time.
Most of them were small shacks, on
First Second avenue south.
A few days ago I was talking with
Mrs. w. P. Beachly, who took an ac-
tive part in that memorable gathering.
1t was in 1885 that this Christmas
celebration took place, and it was held
in the old frame school house, on the
South side, which was newly built.
There were about 80 children in the
district. w. P. Beachly. Phil Gibson
and Bert Huy furnished the tree and
evergreens for decorations.
Mrs. w. Pratt, Mrs. Will Hanks and
Mrs. w. P. Beachly did the decorating
and arranged the tree and also Sc
cured about 500 to purchase presents,
most of which had to be gotten from
Helena.
There were but two small stores In
town then-Murphy, Maclay & Co.,
which was located in the old building
across Central avenue from the post
Office, now used as o second hand store,
of which w. P. Wren was manager;
and Beachley Bros. & Hickory had
their store and also kept the p~ostoff1ce
where Wocasek's saloon is now, on
Central venue
1t was a remarkably mild fall that
year. The ferry on B-oadwater bay
was running the day before Christmas.
The few settlers that were within q
radius of ten miles were invited to
attend, and all came. The school house
was crowded to the steps, on the out
side. For all that, everyone received
a present.
w. P. Wren got q large doll, dressed
In a pillow slip. Professor Morrison was
presented with a pair of doll-baby
twins, which he kissed and Rugged
dearly.
A barrel of apples was gotten for the
occasion, and before the closing every
body was eating apples.
That night the first snow of the
winter fell and on Christmas day the
ground was covered with six inches
of snow, and the last of the month, it

WILL STUDY FISH
UNDER NEW PLAN
GROWTH AND HABIT OF TROUT
LEARNED BY GAME DEPART
MENT EXPERTS

Fairy tale lore that records the de-
cision Of the meeting Of mics
to hang q bell on the cat, Is being
outdone by adoption Of the system q
tagging game fish by the state fish
and game department. To an angler
who finds II = considerable chorc u
land = rainbow trout that "mustas
been this long," the task Of catching
big fellows without doing them bodily
injury, attaching the minute piece q
corrosive metal to dorsal fin or
g%ill-cover and then releasing the
gamy piscatorial prize to continue
to outwit anglers, is something Of .
mystery.
But that's Just what is being done
In the vast program of wild life con-
servation and scientific study in which
the state fish and game department is
engaged. Under the supervision OF
trained experts at the spawn taking
station at Georgetown lake and thu
hatchery and spawn station just COM
pleted at Lake Francis, lee Waller,
tagging experiments are being con-
Quoted and careful records kept OF
each fish tagged. At Lake Francis the
metal tag Is attached tu the left gill;
cover. At Georgetown the tag is al
tached to the dorsal fin. Each tag
bears the word Montana" and a serial
number.
Tag For Souvenir
Fishermen who catch trout or gray
ling bearing these tags nave been o.
quested to report the fact to the game
wardens and fish hatchery experts to
complete the checkup. They may keep
the tag as q souvenir.
When game fish are spawning and
are caught in the traps while making
their way upstream, the larger ones
are carefully tagged, weighed and
measured, and the entries made m
hatchery books. The tags are at
tached for the purpose Of keeping care
full check on spawning conditions. II
a tagged trout returns to the traps
the following year, the fact Is care
fully noted with a statement regard
ing the condition in which the female
arrives, the growth made since last
the fish was credited with q return to
the traps, and factors which inform
the expert as contributing toward pro-
ducing good or poor eggs. This in
formation settles the question as to
whether a female trout returns to the
same place to spawn every year, the
ION Of migration, the rate of growth
and the problem as to whether or not
a female win spawn en- consecutive
years. ,
Lake Francis Catch
One Of the most interesting reports
received during the recent season
comes from Waller. One of the steel
heads tagged at Lake Francis wal
carefully measured and weighed by
Kenneth Macdonald, superintendent Of
fisheries. 1t measured 10 inches In
length. Three months after it was
tagged and returned to its native
waters, the steelhead was caught by
Attorney w. L. Bullock Of Waller. Hs
weighed and measured the big fish
His measurement, according to his
statement, showed the steelhead to b.
% inches in length, an increase tn
length of three inches in three months

their first year Of college work in Butte.
With the object of giving the stu
dent a thorough grounding in funda-
m~entals, the first two years Of all en-
cheering courses at the School of
Mines are devoted to the careful study
Of mathematics, chemistry. physics, ge-
ology, mineralogy, English and eco
nomics. In the junior and senior years
the faculty offers more specialized and
technical curricula, including mechan-
les, %petrology, mining, metallurgy, as
saying, hydraulics, higher geology, ore
dressing, power transmission, thermo-
dynamics, plant operation and design,
engineering English, economics OF the
mineral industry, and SO on, depend

ing options the student has elected to
study.
The one-year general course offers
a curriculum with credits acceptable
at all the other units of the University
of Montana and at colleges through
out the country. Freshmen who take
this course are given work in English,
history or foreign language, mathe-
mates or science, and physical edu-
cation.

lowing enrolment of engineering STU

Freshmen, 49,; sophomores, SO; seniors,

In technical courses. The general
freshman course includes Is men and
10 women, with 2 special students,
making a total Of 209 in attendance at
the institution. The cost to the state
Of educating a student at the School
of Mines is modest. "In the past six

and include the amount we have spent
on research work, and research work Is
absolutely necessary If p faculty is to
be saved from dry rot-we get a per
capita cost of $40 a year, which will
bear favorable comparison with any
other reputable college. And there is
another angle to this question of flnan-
