They attended the Utah celebration

which vas SO closely linked to that
state in the early days, by reason of its

1t is of interest that on July "a, 1864,
Mr.. Sieben, then q lad of II, secured
his first job in Montana cutting and
baling hay in the Madison valley. The
celebration might well have been staged
to commemorate the 9th anniversary
of his securing his first work in the
state with which he was to be asso-
ciated over such a long period of time
and in SO successful a manner.
David Hilger, president of the pio-
neers, arrived by the covered wagon

livestock industry claimed Mr.. Sieben's
interest, SO did it attract Mr.. Hilger

Sieben. however, politics has always
been an important factor in his life

1881 ASSESSMENTS MAXI
FERGUS FIFTH CLASS

The Fergus county commissioners
will proclaim Fergus a county of the
fifth class, Aug. /, because of the de-
e in taxable valuation which. eX-
elusive of railroads and public utilities,
next year will be Sl1 ,526 1913. Assessed
valuation for next year shows a de-
cline of s12, 772, 222-from s44, 1874, 1893 to
$780, 62, SIG.
Salaries Of officers elected in the
next general election will be reduced
an average of $500 because of the
change in classification, and the Office
of county auditor, as provided by
statute, will be abolished.
One of the district judgeships will
also be abolished at the next election
as a result of the action taken by the
last legislature. The clerk of the court
will retain his present salary until Jan
l, 1884, having been elected for a
four-year term.
It is expected that the tax levy will
be increased this year because of the
decrease in valuation.

STATE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY COM
MISSION MEETS WITH BOOST
Frs GROUP AT HELENA

Impounding of Montana's water
supply VOID mean not only a great
supply but better living conditions
for People, livestock, fish and game,
members Of the Montana Mississippi
valley water conservation commission
and the flood control committee Of
the Montana association agreed at
their first joint meeting at Helena
recently.
State Engineer j. S. James, ex-of-
ficio member of the Mississippi valley
committee, said streams on which some
communities depend for carrying waste
are dry at present and detrimental to
health. He was instructed to cores
pond with other states of the Mis-
sippi river drainage district toward CO.
operation in the national water con-
~servation program.
The committee will investigate
means of utilization Of the state wa
ter supply and will report it's find
ings at a future meeting.
The commission was created by the
last legislature and has as it's mem

Robert Jackson's beard, grazed his

to duck Red Smith, shot through

The bandits were shot down and
buried. But the owner of their burial
plot demanded the removal of their
bodies. The bodies were taken up and
buried a second time on land belong

modious log building. They knew the
privation of primitive living, but Mrs.
Daley was trained from childhood to
self reliance and industry. She was
born near Independence, Iowa, Aug.
is, 1858. Her father, Charles Spragg,
contracted Asiatic cholera while fight
ing in the Union army before VickS-
burg, and died in 1862. Her mother,
Amerett Hunter Spragg, was left with
a family Of small children to support,
in the fearful postwar period. She
had too much land and no help. The
children worked in the field, planting
corn. Calico was rs cents a yard, and
n calico dress to wear to school was
all a child could have. Clara (Mrs.
Daley washed and ironed hers be-
fore school. At eight years, Clara was
knitting stockings for the neighbors,
to buy yarn for her own. At sixteen,
in spite Of meager schooling of less
than three months a year, she was
teaching school.
One term she taught forty pupils
without any uniform text books, walk
ing three miles back and forth to
school daily, and milking ten COWS

90 on the winter hunt for buffalo I'M
til starvation drove them out. 1t was
not until the end of December, l84l,
that they started to cross the noun
tains accompanied by Father Point
The weather was bitterly cold n Tor
a month no buffalo we're seen. But
the Indians kept up their d~evotions
and on a bright day in February they
saw great herds of buffalo and $50 OF
them fell before the attack.
While Father Point was with the
hunting Indians Father DeSmet made
a trip to Fort Colville to get seeds for
the spring planting. The Flatheads
had never practiced agriculture and he
resolved to teach them. He wished
also to visit other Indian tribes in the
northwest and make plans for convert
ihg them. To his surprise he found
that The Kalispells on the Upper Pend
OreillAy had learned the practices OF
his church from their Flathead neigh
bors and that many of them were
ready for baptism.
He could stop only to baptize the
children and the sick and hurried on to
Fort Colville where he obtained oats,
wheat, potatoes and other vegetables
for seed. In the spring Of 1912 the
first planting in the Bitter Root was
made. The Indians regarded the whole
work as useless and wasteful and wish
ed to eat the grain and potatoes at
once.
While at st. Mary's mission, Father
DeSmet planned other missions. He
started Father Point to the Occur d.
Alenes where he founded the Sacred
Heart mission and later Father Hoec-
ken went to the Kalispells and founded
the first ST. I~ngnatius mission near
Pend Oreille lake. In 1854 this mission
was moved to its present site at st. Ig-
natiuS. Mont. Father DeSmet did not
remain long at st. Mary's. His bold
spirit saw greater fields of usefulness,
In 1912 he left Father Mengarini In
charge and went first to Vancouver,
then back to st. Louis, and then to
Europe. During the years that follow
ed he was busted with many things,
but he never lost interest in the mis-
sion in the Bitter Root.

a sharp stick in the sand. Mrs. Daley
learned her letters from the writing
on the hearth of her mothers stove.
She was married at 10, and her eld-
est daughter, Iva MRS. Heath of
Martinsdale) was born in Iowa. Her
other children, lisa, Charles, Roy and
Fern, were born in Montana. All are
living but Roy, who died Of the flu at
Nitro, Va, where he was in training
during the World war. The Daileys are
a long-lived family. Mrs. Dailey's
great-great-grandchild, if he could
see her, would have seen seven gen.
erations of his direct line.
Mr.. Daley died in 1907. Fortune
repaid Mrs. Daley in later years for
the hardship of her earlier life. In
1911 the railroad was built from Lew
istown to Grass Range, passing thru
Mrs. Dailey'S land. The railroad COM
pany paid her $50 0 for title. She
acquired valuable ranch property at
Heath and established the post office
there. Gypsum was discovered on her
land, and she sold three acres to a
company which began development
work. Shortage of steel, during the
World war, prevented the building Of
their projected plant, and the property
was later taken over by the U. S. Gyp-
sum company.
Mrs. Daley never admits that life
has been hard. With ten grandchild-
rem and two great-grandchildren, she
keeps the enthusiasm of her youth. She
loves to travel, and has seen most OF
the United States. She is one of the
few who would like to live her life
over just as she lived it first, if that
could be.

The story of the horse thieves, and
their death on that memorable july
4 has been often told. Briefly, they
came into town from the Big Spring,
where they had camped for two weeks,
rode to the vicinity of the race track,
and then picked a quarrel with a
halfbreed, Bob Jackson (of the same
name, but not to be confused with the
Robert Jackson whose daughter rolled
under the culvert). They drew their
guns, and shot 1t his feet, then COM
PEELED him to lie down and crawl oil
on his belly like a snake. At the time
it was supposed the quarrel was with
out p~rovocation, but quite recently a
story is current that he had flung at
them an insulting Indian word, which
he refused to retract. AT any rate he
crawled away, ran to his cabin when
he had a chance, and got his rifle.
He followed the horse thieves up town,
and in the shooting that followed the
enraged citizens took a hand. They
barricaded themselves behind every
door, and shot the men down. This
can be said for the d~esperadoes; when
one fell, his companion turned from
flight toward safety, and faced certain
death at his companions side. Know
ing he vas lost, he fired at random,

GHOSTS" SUBJECT
OF SERMON

DR.. Bassett's sermon on "Ghosts"
last night was the strongest he has
given thus far according to the pas
tor of the Baptist Church where a
series of special meeting are in pro-
Gress.
In his sermon Rev. Bassett said,
"unbelief is the match that set hell
en- fire. Unbelief is the criminal who
put paddock on Heaven. Any man
who does not believe in God and
Christ is a heather.
Profanity is prayer with the
devils trademark on it. The worst
thing a dog can give you is fleas,
but God pity the boy who runs with
some of the men of this town.
"A man or woman who steals Sun
day from God and uses it for his
own selfish pleasure or profit is a
thief. A man who refuses to sup
port the churches of his community
is a thief.
THE woman who seeks relief
from motherhood so she can fit
like butterfly in society is a muir
derer. 1t is just as much murder to
take the life of child before it is
born, as it is to shoot man.
Adultery is the sin that caused
God to drown the old world and to
blot out Sodom and Gomorrah and
Pompeii and Hercuianeum."
Rev. Bassett's next sermon will
be Sunday morning on the subject,
'The Broken Circle.
