from the north, Snakes from the south
and Flatheads from the west.
Councils of tribes were held on the
plains north and east of Great Falls
and the tribes assembled for buffalo
hunts and to engage in more sanguin-
airy pursuits.
In trips through the Missouri river
canyon, according to some aged men,
bers of the tribes, the men were filled
with awe and regarded the range Of the
Big Belts as mountains of mystery and
mysticism that had been born out Of
fire." The feeling Of mystery and awe
may be found today in observing wierd
formations that suddenly change from
bleakness to beauty. Through the
mountains are sections that show a
vast mingling of colors, ranging from
vivid to delicate shades.
The river adds to the beauty of
many sections, at places flowing
through a stretch Of canyon lazily and
at other places it dashes down rocky
reaches and rebounds against jutting
rocks and cliffs.
About 40.6 miles from Great Falls is
the Novak creek bridge and to the left
extends a sharp, deep ravine, in which
volcanic rock has been cut into spires.
This has been designated Pipe Organ
canyon by r. H. Willcomb, division en-
gineer of the highway commission.
Among the more important and in
teresting features of a trip along the
road Is a study of geologic formation.
The country is underlaid with sedi-
mentary formations and covered with
strata of rock that are fairly level. This
condition arose through lava flows CON-
ing over the s~edimentary rock and
forming a protective covering that has
withstood erosion.
AS the motorist drives nearer the
canyon, the number of bikes constant
ly increase and frequently sharp reefs
are seen. When the canyon is entered,
great masses of red, gray and brown
rocks are seen. These appear like gran
lite and mark the heart Of the former
volcanic area.
East Of the river in the Big Belts is
at least one large extinct volcanic vent,
from which at some time lava was ex-
PEELED In great quantities. The volcanic
eruptions were preceded by a success
sion of tremors, which formed great
cracks through the country. Down these
the lava flowed, forming bikes and reefs
that are now evident.
The Big Belt, or Lewis, mountains
were formed by an overthrust of On
siderable magnitude, extending along
the east side Of the range, which sup
erimposes Algonquin rocks. From OBJ
servations near Cascade, the northern
end Of the Big Belt mountains was
formed by extensive ass of igneous
or volcanic rock penetrating upper Gre
taceous sediments, which are in some
places horizontally bedded and in
others sharply folded.
Following countless years, according
to the physical evidence remaining, a

ton Of justice in minor cases was rough
and ready-and sometimes funny.
Mr.. White recalled such an occasion,
at the recent meeting Of Ubet pioneers,
when. in the early COS he was handling
10000 sheep at the Barrows' plant. Two
crews were at work, one from Montana
and one from Wyoming. and friction
developed between them. The Wyon-
ing foreman came 10 Mr.. White to de-
mand the discharge of a certain John
Abbott, On the ground that he had
robbed the compliments bed. Abbott
was a good shearer, and didn't seem
any worse than the rest of the bunch,
so MI. White refused TO can him.
The next day the trouble seemed TO
have been patched up. but that night
Abbott came into the dining 0 I'M
quotably profane and abusive, finger
ing his six-gun and swearing that he
was going to get" the Wyoming fore
man and clean up the crew.
After trying TO silence him, White
watched his opportunity, and reaching
across the table, siezed his gun. Having
disarmed Abbott, he cautioned him
again to come TO a quit" and thought
the matter settled.
The next morning. here came Abbott

saloon, louder and more violent than
ever, telling the Wyoming outfit unflat-
tering details Of their origin and deS-
tination, and daring any one OF their
crew to fight him barehanded. -Four
Wyoming men were standing on the
platform in front of the saloon. AS Abb
bott came toward them, in the open
street now, M swarthy fellow jumped
down. handed his six-shooter to q by
stander, and the fight began. x. Beid-
Ter was in the crowd. He had cautioned
White that the Wyoming outfit vas the
toughest gang he had ever III into,
and for him to look out for them. Dutch
Barrows watched the fighting, his gun
ready in case of emergencies.
There we're about 30 men, wranglers,
herders and shearers, all standing in
their work clothes watching the fight
The plants we're still, and there was no
p~retense of work going on.
The two men fought brutally and
long. The men ringed around them
watched, sometimes silently, sometimes
moved to laughter when they heard
John Andrew Jackson Dawes pipe al
intervals from his perch on a wool
sack, II command the peace!' The
fighters we're evenly matched, and they
fought until covered with blood, ex-
hausted, staggering and clutching al
each other, they were ready to lister
when Mr.. White ordered them once
more to come to a quit" or be held
in custody for the sheriff from Lewis
town.
Mr.. White realized that something
must be done in the way of official
notice of such disturbance, to prevent
its continuance. He asked Dan LutZ
a Justice of the Peace, to arrest the
men. Lutz was a slight man, lightly
built, and no fighter, He was no match
for a bad man, ever a tired one. He
didn't like the prospect of putting the
fighters under arrest, says Mr.. White
but finally managed to stammer, "You
are under arrest for disturbing the pub
lie peacel"
Abbott turned to his employer, White
with a look of ludicrous bewilderment
flicked his thumb at Lutz, and ques.
toned, He says I'm arrested. What
do / do now?"
Under Mr.. Whites direction-as
lawyer he knew something of proper
procedure-they finally fixed up an i'm
promptu court room at a desk in the
store, got some foolscap paper, and pre-
ferred charges against the two men fol-
breach of the peace. Abbott vas sum-
moned first, but Vas afraid to plead
guilty for fear of a Jail sentence. Mr.
White sat at Lutz's side at the desk
and with each new question Lutz APP
pealed to White to know what to say
while Abbott referred to him to know
what to answer. With much mutual
consultation they finally agreed on q
plea of guilty, a fine of 81. SO. and the
case was dismissed. Reassured by Alb
bolts easy sentence, the Wyoming
fighter was at last persuaded to plead
guilty, also, and was fined a like sum
and dismissed. But Wyoming pride was
outraged. The crew gathered up their
bag and baggage, their beds and blades,
and quit the plant in a body. Peace
reigned. and work began again.

Glacial deposits of the late Wisconsin

in South Africa. during the Boer war,
and danced for his Queen-Victoria-
when he was n of the Queens Own
Camerons.
The whole history of ranch develop
ment stands written large in the build
ings of the B. C. White ranch. There is
the old mud-roofed shack where Mr..
White lived with the Perrines before
he brought his own family to Buffalo
creek. He came to Fergus county from
Great Falls by stage, when Buffalo was
l25 miles from a railroad. It took two
days to make a trip to Lewistown and
back by team. and Billings was the
nearest shipping point. Now it is an
hours drive to Lewistown by car; five
loading stations are scattered between
the ranch and Billings: and almost any
day an ~autogyro may settle down in
the yard, straight as if suspended by a
string, and airplanes pass over the
ranch almost unnoticed.
Mr.. White was one of the original
members of the firm of Perrine, Green
G. White, incorporated as the Buffalo
Sheep company, in 1893. He assumed
Green's interest, and later Perrine sold
his share in the company to Charles
r. McClave. The property was even
tually divided, and Mr.. McClave re-
tired from the firm. After leaving the
Perrine household, Mr.. White built a
new large log house with a single roof
to accommodate his family. These old
brown, deserted buildings now stand
facing the hill where the family's pres
ent modern home is built. The build
ings on the ranch represent an expen-
diture of 10000. and the new house is
fully electrified from the modern dairy
to the big front porch, where the
dancers crowd.
Listeners like to hear Mr.. White
chuckle through a story Of early ex-
periences in Montana. When his firm
started their sheep ranch, John Bar
rows ran a public shearing plant at
Ubet, handling 10000 sheep in season.
The hand crews of blade shearers were
sometimes tough customers, drunken
and rowdy, eager to gamble and quick
to fight, and in general looking for
whatever relief they could find from
a none too easy job. When trouble
started, as it often did, the administra-

The original journal of the Lewis and
Clark expedition shows conclusively the
marked advances made in transporta-
ton in q comparatively short period.
The trip from Great Falls to Craig may
now be made in a few hours, but in
July, 1905, the Lewis and Clark expe-
ditiOn spent not less than four days
in %traversing the same distance. The
expedition was headed by Capt. Meri-
wether Lewis and Capt. William Clark.
In the journal of the expedition are
mentioned numerous. landmarks and
geographical features of the territory
that are clearly discernible today. July
Is, 1905, Captain Clark wrote as fol-
lows:

about 80 yards wide, which we call after

July 16, 1905, Captain Lewis wrote.
After breakfast / determined to
leave Captain Clark and party and go
on to the point where the river enters
the Rocky mountains and make the
necessary observations against their ar
rival; accordingly l set out with the
two invalids, Potts and LePage, and
brewer. I passed through a very hand
some level plain on the starboard side
of the river, the country equally level
and beautiful on the opposite side. At
the distance Of eight miles passed a
small stream on which I observed a
considerable quantity of aspen. A little
before IL I halted on the river at the
starboard bend and well timbered bot
tom about four and a half miles below
the mountains and made the following
observation. -.
After this observation we pursued
our route through a high rolling plain
to a rapid Immediately at the foot of
the mountain where the Missouri first
enters them. The current Of the Mis-
souri, river below these rapids is strong
for several miles, though just above
there is scarcely any current. The river
is very narrow and deep, about 10 yards
wide only, and seems to be closely hem
med in by the mountains on both sides.
The bottom is only a few yards in
width. An Indian road enters the
mountains the same place with the
river on the starboard side and con-
tinues along its border upon the steep
cliffs. These mountains appear to be
only about 300 feet above the river and
formed almost entirely of a hard black
granite with a few dwarf pine and
cedar scattered on them.
AT this place there is a large rock

MI. Dietrich completed, in 1929, an
active career as an educator that
extended through nearly half a CEN
fury.
At that time, impelled by Ill
health, he resigned the superinten-

after a year, to superintendent Of
the EmpOria schools and served eight
years in that position. AS superin-
