BOHEMIAN USES
LOTS OF WATER
BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE MIL
LION GALLONS OF WATER
USED DAILY

Bohemian is using between AZ and
S million gallons of water a day,
according to measurements made re-
Gently by the water department of
the city.
There is no way to check the figures
against previous years at this season
because it has been only recently that
accurate measuring devices have been
installed, but the amount is considered
quite large for a city the size of Boze-
man, being about SO gallons for each
man, woman and child.
At present there is no water short
age and with the purchases made by
the city Of additional water rights in
Mystic lake, no serious curtailment of
the supply is anticipated this year,
although hours for irrigation may be
specified later.

FALLS MODELER

HISTORIC CAST WILL REVEAL
SURRENDER OF CHIEF JOSEPH

A bronze casting, with the two
major figures in the foreground,
marking the site Of the surrender of
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces TO
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, will be modelled
by Mrs. Jessie S. Lincoln of Great
Falls. Mrs. Lincoln's model of
Charles NJ. Russell was selected re-
Gently to be used for a statue of him
to be placed in the hall of fame at
Washington.
Mrs. Lincoln was commissioned by
Congressman Scott Leavitt Of Great
Falls, chairman of the Indian affairs
of the house. 1t was
through Mr.. Leavitt's efforts that a bill
was passed at the list session OF the
congress in 1929, introduced by him,
providing for the erection of a monu-
ment at the site mentioned, about II
miles south Of Chinook.
The plaque will be set in a boulder
Of greenish-blue granite about 10 feet
high. 1t will be in an oblong shape
about 6 by 3 feet. Mrs. Lincoln was
commissioned to make the figures at
her own discretion and she said she
planned to have Chief Joseph and

BLAST WRECKS

LINDERMAN,S FLATHEAD LAKE
CABIN DAMAGED BY HEAVY
BLAST ON HIGH BLUFF

Frank b. Linderman was fighting
mad when he came to Kalispcll re-
Gently, as he had a mighty good right
to be. In spite Of his protests, the
contractor set Off a charge of dyna-
mite in the bluff which OvershadOws
the Linderman home on Goose bay,
and the result was calamitous and
almost tragic.
One big rock shot down the hill and
demolished Links cabin, a short dis
lance from the Linderman home, and
the conclusion from the blast broke
all the window panes in Linderman's
beautiful home, knocked pictures from
the walls and mantels, smashing
frames and glass and did irreparable
damage to the interior of the house.
The workmen were going merrily at
the task of drilling more holes for
shots in the same place, when Mr..
Linderman made an eloquent appeal
and backed it up with a promise of gun
play if they dared do him any more
damage. They promised to adopt pre-
tentative measures in future blasting
operations.

PLANS MADE FOR.
UBET MEMORIAL
UBET WILL ERECT MONUMENT IN
MEMORY OF EARLY PIONEERS
OF CENTRAL MONTANA

A monument to the pioneers of
central Montana will be erected near
CARMEL, according to the decision
of the Ubet Pioneer society at their
annual meeting recently at the B. c.
White ranch.
Erected by the TIBET Pioneers So
ciety to the memory of the pioneers
of central Montana will read a tablet
set in stone. The site selected is the
school house on the public highway
at CARMEL.
Approximately 400 pioneers, their
families and visitors we're gathered at
the ranch of Mr.. White, famous in
the history of the state. B. F. Gordon
and Mrs. r. G.. Shell were IN charge
of the program.
Joe King was reelected president OF
the association, B. c. White, vice presi-
dent, and Mrs. l.. S. Mclaughlin, sec
rotary, during the business session. The
next meeting place will be at the old
Ubet stage station about six miles
north and west of Judith Gap. The
ancient hotel, which still stands, will
be used as headquarters.

General Miles in the foreground, while
the aide of each mar will be at the
back. 1t will be in bas-relief.
Mr.. Leavitt recently conferred with
members of the committee in charge
at Chinook, including Harry B.
Brooks, Senator James Griffin and L.
D. Bogy. 1t was their unanimous
opinion that Mrs. Lincoln be chosen
for the work.
I'VE are happy to have Mrs. Lincoln
make the model" Congressman Leavitt
said. She not only has the ability
but she has made a study Of the To-
cality and of Indians"
Mrs. Lincoln also expressed her
pleasure at being chosen. She plans to
start work within the next month. 1t
is hoped to dedicate the monument
the anniversary Of the day on which
the battle of Bears Paw began, which
was Sept. 80, 1877.
Chief Joseph did not surrender until
Oct. 5, and his final action, Of the
most dramatic in Montana history, will
be depicted on the plaque.
Joseph, on approaching Miles
stopped and raised his right hand,
saying, Where the sun now stands I
will fight the white man no more for
ever" 1t was a significant statement,
for he was the last great Indian strate-
gist, Sitting Bull, who led the Indians
at Clusters massacre, having already
fled to Canada.
The exact spot where the surrender
took place is fortunately still known.
Congressman Leavitt said. There are
also still traces of the rifle pits of the
soldiers. Chinook people have agreed
to keep up the monument and the
battle ground and they are also plan
ming for the ~dedicatory exercises in
September. The land on which the
battlefield is located was closed to pub
lie entry several years ago by congress,
after a bill making provisions for that
action was introduced by Congressman
Leavitt.
Joseph's retreat started from the
Nez Perez reservation on the Snake
river In Idaho. He crossed the Bitter
Root mountains over Lolo pass, reach
ing the Bitter Root river at q point
about Is miles south of Missoula.
From there, although constantly
Numbered by forces of citizens and
troops, he took his party Of about 300
warriors and some 400 and chill
dren up the Bitter Root, over the pass
at its head and into the Big Hole
country.
The Indians continued south and
went into Yellowstone park and from
there north again into the Musselshell
river country. They continued north
until the site Of the last battle. Some
historians claim that Joseph believed
he was already in Canada and thus Sc
cure from the forces Of the United
States. (,
This memorial" Congressman Lea
witt said, lis to be one to the courage
and valor of both sides and will mark
the continued peaceful relations since
that time between the whites and the
Indians"

Since 1867 Montana Has Been the Setting for
Encounters Between the Indians and Whites
(By JOHN X.

Since 1867 Montana has been the
setting for many hostile meetings
between the aborigines and the
whites. The aggressive character of
the white invader opposed to the law
Of natural right, which the Indians
observed in general, Occasioned many
brOils, and from such petty troubles
grew up that hatred between the
savages and the whites, which had to
be drowned in the best blood of the
warriors of each race.
1t cannot be denied that very many
crimes against justice were perpetrated
by government officials in their deal
ings with the savages. Through this
criminal perfidy the Indians we're
forced to believe that the government
broke faith with them, and, like the
Vigilantes, who enforced justice with
an iron hand before the government
was given to them, these savages, n
used to restraints, assumed the power
of ruling over their country, and adj
ministered justice with remarkable
moderation while they held this power.
For years previous to 1858, the Indians
opposed the settlement Of a certain
class of citizens among them, and the
Indian troubles were introduced.
The Palouses, Nez Perces, Colvilles,
Kaispells, Spokanes, Occur d'Alenes
and others were defeated in 1858 by
Colonel Wright's command and a
number of warriors, who were thought
to be engaged in numbering and rob-
bling the whites, taken from the midst
Of the tribe and hanged in front of
the camp. This statutory lesson was
remembered.
Trapper Hubble ventured into the
Yellowstone country in 1864. Charley
Cooke and Friend Woody joined with
in a short time, and in April, 1855, all
were engaged in trapping beaver ten
miles below the site of old Fort Smith
on the Big Horn. Here they were
attacked by 200 Sioux Indians, and
may be said to have battled success
fully against the whole tribe.
The Mission Creek affair took place
in May, 1865, when Campbell and his
associate were killed by the Sioux and
Ford wounded. The latter made a
heroic defense, and when darkness
called a truce he succeeded in escap-
ing. He made his way to a point op-
posite Davies camp on the Yellow
stone, where he was discovered. His
deliverers took him to Fridley,s house
at Bozeman, where he was cared for
until his recovery.
Colonel Smith was killed on the Vel
lowstone by Indians, June 9, 1865. 1t
appears that about this time the Broad
Guage company gave w. j. Davies a
contract to build three ferryboats-one
for the Yellowstone, one for Clarke's
Fork, and n for the Big Horn. This
Davies f1oated lumber from Tomlinson's
mill near Emigrant to the mouth of
the Mill Greek canyon, where he built
a house, and there also built the boats.
Michael Boyer, Cartwright, Colonel
Smith were members of the party, and
here On Rocky creek Smith met his
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1931-07-09

death, and Michael Boyer was wounded.
In August, 1865, while William Bum
and Colonel Kimball were en- route
to the Yellowstone from Bozeman, they
were saluted by Indians just above
O'Rear creek. 1t appears that about
the same time the Savages killed a
man named Smith and attacked Henry
Morgan, who was holding Davies cabin.
They approached Kimball in a friendly
manner, and then shot him deliber-
ately. Bum ran for his life, but the
terror of his meeting with the Indians
caused his death at Bozeman within
the year.
Cy Mounts, Joe Merrivale, and John
Renshaw, Little Baptiste and an In
dian boy were going to the Yellow
stone from Bozeman with OK teams.
When neal the top of the divide a
party of 40 Indians came in sight over
the hill. Cy and his comrades drew
their wagon to a fair place from which
to fight and awaited the Indians, who
took the hills on the other side. Joe
Merrivale could speak the Sioux tongue
and asked them what they wanted.
They answered blood" and that none
of his (Merrivale's) party should ever
see the sun again. Cy Mounts knew
that the Indians were making threats
by the actions of the Cheyenne boy
with him, who picked up a rock and
ground his teeth. They also Dragged
to Merrivale of killing the two white
men across the divide. They were told
to turn themselves loose" and the
