Morris very much desired to occupy
He did not come out for Mr. Bram-
hams candidate in the categorical
way tina Mr.. Braham support Mr.
Meekins but the Raleigh lawyer says
the welfare of the party demands a
new chairman.
The letter which Mr.. Morris sends
in reply to Mr.. Bramham's is brier.
The author thinks party interest re-
quires the election of a new state
chairman next month at Charlotte +"
The convention in that city promises
to be as thrilling as that of the spring
of 1916 when Carl Duncan and John
Motley Morehead stroVe for the mas
terry. The issue was precipitaed when
Former Senator Marion Butler got
the floor and tore into the Duncan
organization. Mr.. Duncan asked Mr..
Morehead to stand back and let the
convention decide between Butler and
Duncan. Mr.. MOrehead refused to go
neutral and Mr.. Duncan lost control.
He never entirely regained his posi-
ton though the break between More
head and Butler did leave Mr. Dun
can in better position than he was be-
fore the conVeation. There is very
much the same issue now with the
odd situation of William Meekins in
an opposing camp. Judge Isaac M.
Meekins father of the candidate for

greatest ally the elder Duncan had.

Huge Coal Conserve

One Of the largest coal conserves IN
the United States and the greatest west
Of the Mississippi lies In Carbon coun-
ty and is concentrated in the main in
the Red Lodge Bearcreek- Washoe area.
OF high quality grade and Of low
ash and water content. these deposits
are in well developed stage. having
been worked for nearly the last half
century, yet today they remain hal dly
touched, millions upon millions Of tons,
geologists state, remaining to be un-
covered
Production Of this black wealth has
Jagged during the last several years due
TO q decline In demand for the product
and inroads OF natural gas and petrol
cum into fields formerly large consum-
ers Of coal. In recent months the vs1t-
look for coal has ben considerably
frightened, science daily tEnearthing
new uses for coal and new ways OF US
ing it. This is being looked on with in
creasing interest by the coal industries.
New plans for merchandising their
products, better ways Of marketing and
producing the underground wealth are
being turned to by the coal producers
with increasing success. It Is forecast
that the industry win be revived In the
near future to such an extent as TO
make its former place ia the sun one

cattle. In the spring, Brother Leonard
went to Fort Benton and made q con-
tract with the butcher, Mr.. Stockings,
to deliver these old work oxen for beef
at 10 cents per pound. We bought the
cattle the year before. They cost us
$40 to So per head, ana when they
butchered them at the rate of 10 cents
per pound they Melted us $50 to 500.
That summer we freighted from Fort
Benton and one trip to Cow Island and
back In the spring Of 1870 we went
to Corrine, Utah, and freight was hard
to get, and Leonard pulled out to buy
cattle. He went up TO Bear lake and
bought $50 odd head of cattle. stayed
at Corrine until July before got any
freight with the team. Broadwater
loaded me with government freight to
Fort Ellis, up in the Gallatin valley.
When I arrived there with the freight
and unloaded the farmers wanted me
to load up with grain for Helena, which,
I did, and after delivering that grain
here I got contract from Lewis g.
Reese, a st. Louis outfit, to move a
ten-stamp quartz mill from George
town to Indian creek. There were two
trips OF that, which took me until No
vember to clean up that job Then the
company wanted me to get out some
mining timber. I took the contract
to get out for the mill 5000 feet Of run
ming measure mining timber. That
wound I'D my summer work, and pull
ed into winter quarters. In the mean
time Leonard bought the cattle and To-
Gated In Chestnut valley and I went
down there with the teams and win
tered with him. In the spring Of 1871
we sold the teams to Tom Clary, father
of Roy Clary, and we took that money
and went back to Utah and bought
cattle, bought something like 400 head,
drove them from Utah up TO Chestnut
valley and turned them loose. and there
we were in the cattle business until
1879.
Elm the meantime our youngest
brother, Jake, had come TO Montana to
join us and he had a notion for sheep
as we agreed to furnish him with sheep,
and he went TO Red Bluffs. Calf, in
the spring Of 1876. He bought 2.l00 to
200 head of sheep at 500 per head.
He drove them through that season, ar
irving in the Prickly Pear valley in
December. My brother Leonard was on
his way East, and when he got here
he found the sheep in such bad condi-
ton that he gave up the Eastern trip
and went in the valley and bought hay
and hired ranchers to haul It out to
the hills, trailed the sheep down to the
valley, and stayed there until after
when 1t moderated so they
could drive through to Chestnut valley.
They were fine Merino sheep and were
