the large, free life of the open and
| boundless west for 80 years told them
plainly and emphatically: Because
your country is too small and your
people are too small. A man can't turn
around here without having some petty,
insolent officer put his hand ON his
shoulder and tell him what he must do
and how he must do it."
After having lived 80 years in Mon
tana Ramme could not live in a land
ruled by a despot. No Montana man
could ever become vassal to a kaiser.
He pinned for his home in the west, for
the plains and forests, the Duties and
the sagebrush-
For the blessed land of r~oom-enough,
Beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight.
And the flag is full of stars"
If Ramme ever had had any faint
of pro-Gcrmanism in his system, his
trip to the kaiser's country would have
effected a complete cure. He saw with
his W eyes what kaiserism, militar-
ism and despotism meant, and he saw
the difference between autocracy and
democracy. From the day the first
shot was fired he knew what issues
were involved in the great struggle, and
he could clearly and lucidly explain
just why America was in the war and
why she ought to be in the war, at a
time when many ~native-born Americans
were cropping in the dark, before their
eyes were opened to the fact that the
| war meant so much to America and the
world that it must be won by the allies
| regardless of cost.
Ramme wa a widower for many
! years. He had two sons, Edward and
Louis T., and n daughter, Mrs. Julia
Emerson, also grandchildren and great
| grandchildren.
Not many men can say that they
turned down a job offered them by
Theodore Roosevelt, but Chris Ramme
had that distinction. Roosevelt want
ed to put some sheep On his Dakota
ranch and tried to get Ramme to take

Dor. whose brother. Col. Buell., was
stationed at Fort Custer. He and a
friend turned their faces westward and
on July 81, 1877, landed in old Miles
town, then perhaps as wild and woolly
a place as could be found on the map.
The other man was soon ready to
return to the states" and he thought
Ramme had taken leave of his senses
when he announced his intention OF
remaining in Montana.
WHAT" he exclaimed. you don't
.ilean to tell me that you are going to
stay here. Why there's nothing here
but road agents. horsethieves. gamblers
and Indians.
Yes" said Ramme, I'm going to
stay. I like this country and the time
will come when it will be different"
At this time, Ramme said. there was
no one living between Bismarck and
Fort Benton except the woodchoppers
on the Missouri who furnished fuel for
the steamboats,, and no one lived be-
tween the mouth of the Yellowstone
and Miles City. Ramme took a con-
tract to furnish meat for soldiers at
Fort Keogh and stayed with the job
nearly four years.

on the Standing Rock reservation in
South Dakota. Some trouble arose and
an Indian killed an officer. The COM
mander sent a messenger to bring Sitt-
ing Bull in that he might have. a talk
with him. Sitting Bull refused to come.
Then the command was given to bring
him dead or alive. Some Indian police,

The stories told of the losses and
hardships endured by the sheep men
in the early days almost stagger belief,
and Ramme had his share. At one
time he had % wolf hounds to protect
his flocks from the wolves and coyotes.
In the hard winters he suffered heavy
losses. and after a while he was afflict-
ed with rheumatism. He then sold off
his sheep and other stock and moved
into town.
After an absence of 50 years, Ramme
took a trip to Germany to visit his
brother and other relatives in the old
home. His account of this visit, on
which he saw the kaiser at close range,
is very interesting. He had intended
to stay three or four months, but he

Gen. Nelson A. Miles was in charge
and there were four companies Of SOL
diers stationed at Fort Keogh for pro-
lection against the Indians.
What kind Of a man did you find
General Miles to be?" Ramme was ask
ed.
II wa we'll acquainted with him. He
was a fine man, and a gentleman. He
afterward had his headquarters at
Chicago, and whenever I went there
with sheep I always enjoyed a visit
with him. He was always glad to see
me and gave me a hearty welcome"

Eyes. I slept many a night in the
same tent with him. During the Worlds
fair in 1893 he was in Chicago with his
wild west show. I was there for a
couple Of weeks and was with him near
ly every day. He always insisted on
my riding with him in his big turnout"
Ramme was for a short time in the
cattle business in the southern part
Of Custer county, on Pumpkin creek.
He and Captain House sold the first
cattle that were put on the eastern
Montana range. His next venture was
a restaurant in Miles City in partner
ship with Captain Bach.
AT this time" said Ramme, "the
sagebrush was four feet high in Main
street; just a trail through it. The
town consisted of a few stores, saloons
and dance halls. They eve had Sa-
looms in tents-anything to keep the
rain off. The Diamond r. was the first
store. Graham and Kahn each had
stores.
After selling the restaurant, I went
into the sheep business on Powder
river. The next year, 1885, I came down
to what is now Carter county and set
tied on the ranch I still own, 10 miles
southeast Of the present town of Ekal-
aka. I named it Chimney Rock ranch
on account Of its proximity to a rock
which towers aloft like a tall chimney.
My nearest neighbor on the east lived
on the Mill Iron ranch on the Box
Elder, 16 miles distant; to the south,
the nearest ranch was Brick g. Aliens,

Ramme came to America in 1857 at
the age of 20, and for two decades he
lived in the Lake Superior copper re-
