absence a COW, Victory, came to the call
OF her old herder, seeming to recognize
his voice at once. By association, the
buffalo learned that a man on horse
back was a friend. A man on foot, how
ever, especially one with a kodak, was
a signal for a charge. Never once was
a man injured during the history of
the Conrad herd, although several rid
erless horses were killed by bulls.
When an older bull, his strength de-
teriorating. was beaten by a younger
bull, this old fellow would 60 off by
himself and become surly and ill-temp-
cred. Now he became a highly dan
gerous animal. 1t was soon learned that
! these old bulls must be culled from the
herd as soon as their waning strength
lost them their leadership.
Sir Donald and K%alispell Chief, two
bulls owned by the Conrads, each lived
to be more than 80 years old. Sir Dom
aid was killed at Banff at the age of
80. He had become ill-tempered from
rheumatism. Kalispell Chief was still
vigorous at the age Of 80. Cows lose
their teeth and are old after 20.
When danger threatens a herd of
buffaloes the males form a circle with
the calves and cows huddled within,
n with massive heads lowered and
angry hoofs throwing clouds of dust
into the air. they present a formidable
and almost ~impenetrable barrier.
The herd mother, however, reigns in
time of peace. AS virtual queen of the
herd. she dictates the housekeeping
routine, decides when and into what
c pastures the herd shall be moved
and orders the policy of the herd much
as a mother does in a home.
Such a herd mother was Frizzle Top,
one of the cows owned by the Conrad
estate. She became the virtual boss of
the herd when a mere calf and re-
manned so until she was presented, to-
gether with Kaispell Chief, the largest
and most powerful bull ever owned by
the Conrads, to the United States gov
eminent and taken to Ravalli in 1909.

there. Two carloads of buffaloes were
shipped to the Canadian government at
Banff at the anne time.

ed range proved an irresistible attrac-
ton for him. For several seasons when
the corn was sweet he had to be corral
ed at night for as Don as the light
went out in the herder's cabin,
whether at 8 o'clock or at IL o'clock,
kalispell Chief jumped the fence and
enjoyed a feast of green corn.
When he was Grated for shipment 20
men were on hand, for a battle was
anticipated. The old chief, however,
stood for a moment, apparently taking
in the situation, then deliberately walk
ed into the crate. At the same time
two younger bulls were Grated for ship
ment. The second bull refused to be
Grated and ragged for three hours. The

the brain Is much farther back than
that of any other animal. Ordinary
bullets, such as would be used in hunt
ing the wild game of this region, will
not penetrate the thick hide on the
immense forehead of the animal. A
section of the hide cut from this same
bulls forehead is on display at the
Conrad bank at Kalispell, and in its
present dried, shriveled condition, is
one and one-half inches thick.
Buffaloes, said Mrs. Conrad, have
wonderful memories, never forgetting
an injury or a friend. After IS years

les. Bison were then plentiful but theil
numbers had begun to diminish rapid
ly. He decided to keep the calf and BY
capturing other calves and enticing
buffalo into an enclosed range he, to-
gether with another Indian named Pa.
bio, accumulated the first privately
owned herd of buffaloes in Montana
that was maintained for the purpose Of
preserving this magnificent animal TO,
the future.
The rapid passing of the buffalo is
a familiar story for every westerner
Had it not been for these and other far
sighted men this most typically Amer
lean wild animal would today be ex-
tinct. When, in 1902, the entire Pablo
Allard herd of 200 buffaloes was solo
to the Canadian government, the buf-
falo became nothing but a memory tc
the Flathead reservation Indians.
However, not all of these buffaloes
went to Canada. Charles Conrad, who
came to Montana as a boy in the late
seventies, purchased from the Pablo
Allard herd the nucleus of what was
better known as the Conrad herd OF
Kalispell. This herd was taken to the
uPHS4 44aIA1Coo to14Cy "41C1S ~ Voc
maintained for 10 years. Mr. Conrad
died soon after his purchase, but his
ideas in regard to the herd were care
fully carried out by his executor and
widow, the late Mrs. Alicia D. Conrad
of Kalispell. 1t is with this herd that
the remainder OF this story deals.
It was told by Mrs. Conrad at her
home in Kalispell several years ago
when the Conrad herd was sold to Glib
son Brothers of Yakima and shipped
there to be placed on a 20,000-acre
range.
Under Conrad supervision, said Mrs
Conrad, the animals were given on
sistent good care. Yet, after all those
10 years they were still wild animals
able to care for themselves under any
conditions and aroused to ferocity at
the least provocation. Every attempt
at housing and domestication caused
them to sicken and die.
As buffaloes are migratory animals
seeming to need different heritage at
different seasons, during the early per-
iod of their captivity it was found
necessary to mov them two or three
times a year to keep the herd con-
CenCed. Inc sweet grasses OF the low
lands in the spring and the upland
grasses in the fall seemed the correct
feed. Being prairie beasts, they went
into the woods only when flies troubled
them. In the Flathead it was some
times necessary to feed them during
the winter months and it was learned
that a buffalo eats one and one-half as
much as steer Of the same age.
In moving the herd from the Conrad
ranches east of Kalispell n spring in
the late nineties, one old bull became
displeased at the beginning of the drive,
No fence could hold him. He absolute
ly refused to be driven, tore through
fence after fence, running about IL
miles through field and meadow before
he was finally killed, his body riddled
with the bullets Of his pursuers.

what is now the Flathead Indian
reservation. Over the pony's back was
slung a peculiar yellow animal, a buf-
falo calf only a few hours old which
had followed the horse and rider many
miles from the herd-followed until
the Indian had finally stopped, and
gathering the fearless little beast in his
arms, had slung it across the pony's

Tugwell's Talk

From Which Wirt'i Re-

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, April ll.-Following are
excerpts from a speech by DR.. Rex
ford G. Tugwell before the forty
fourth annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Economic Association In 1881,
from which speech DR.. Tugwell de-
clared came some of the comments
attributed to him by DR.. william A.
Writ before q congressional commit
tee yesterday:
There can be no secure peace In the
world so long as its peoples are divid-
ed among absolute sovereignties.
War in industry is just as ruinous
as war among nations; and equally
strenuous measures are taken to pre-
vent it; so long as nations and
industries are organized for conflict.
wars will follow . =.
Our industrial structures are remi-
niscent of weeds growing in the
dark. o.
The deadliest and most subtle
enemy Of speculative profit-making
which could be devised would be an
supplemented scheme for planning
production. For such a scheme would
quiet conflict and inject into eco
nomic affairs an order and regularity
which no large speculation could sur
vive.
If profits are so important to our
system. why do We allow them to be
used in such ways as not only to de-
stroy the source of future earnings,
but to create unemployment and
hardship among millions of people.
Our business men have only a
.udimentary conception of industry
as a social function, as carrying a
heavy responsibility of provision. In
dustry is thought Of rather as a field
for adventure, in which the creation
OF goods Is a minor matter.
There is no doubt but that the hope
OF great gains induces enterprises
Of sort; and If these are disestab-
lished. certain kind of enterprise
will disappear.
Corporation officers play too little
attention to their duties and too much
to the ticker tape: inside rings ex-
plot the businesses under their con-
troll; market cornering and supply
limitation become favorite methods
Of gain getting.

ALLEGED REDPL0T
FOUND IN SOUTH.
Five Men Questioned for
Plan to ThWart Rec0v-
cry Efforts.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Ohio. April 1.-THE
discovery of an alleged "Communistic
plot" to thwart reconstruction efforts
of the new deal" in the South, was
disclosed here yesterday by United
States District Attorney Francis
Canny.
The district attorney said the plans
were Incorporated in literature found
on one of five men questioned recently
at Springfield, Ohio. He said Police
Chief George Abel, at Springfield, de-
tanned the five men. one white and
the others colored. and that the white
man, who Canny said gave his name
as sgd Benson of Birmingham, had
literature indicating plans were being
worked out to wreck the new deal"
Abel later released the men but con-
fscated the papers.
Canny said the literature. which he
has forwarded to the Attorney General
at Washington. told of persons being
planted" in every mill and mine for
the purpose Of causing dissatisfaction
and fomenting strikes. The papers
he said. listed the plants" with their
names, ages, background. places where
working and details of how each was
to accomplish his purpose
Benson admitted said Canny
that he was secretary of some Com
munist bureau and that he was in the
pay of the Communist party"
He said the five we're en- route to
Cleveland. where they said they were
going to attend Communist conven-
ton.
The plans were well worked out"
Canny said. The new deal" was re-
ferred to in the papers as "the Wall
Street DEAL" the district attorney SAID
He expressed the opinion the papers
would enable the Attorney Generals
department to nip the alleged plot
before it got under way.
