PIONEER CAPTAIN

GENE HODGE, VETERAN PILOT
AND CAPTAIN ON FLATHEAD
LAKE DIES ON TUGBOAT

west last a unique and interesting
character. He was native Of Bflcht-
gan and spent 10 years Of bis early
manhood on the Great lakes, gaining
3 wide experience IN lake navigation
Hoping 60 Improve his opportunities,
he drifted westward and reached
FIaahead Lake in the spring Of 1899.
For IA years. Gene Hodge operated
freight and passenger boats on Flathead
lake without the loss Of q life. His
first experience on Flathead lake was
gained on the Tom Carter, an 6O-foot
freight and passenger boat, which made
daily trips from the foot of the lake
to DemersviIIe, the first settlement OF
any size on F7athead river. The boat
was owned by g Missoula company.
Bin Houston, who served several terms
as sheriff OF AGisSoula county, had 1t
built In 1889. Captain Kerr and Bill
Cheney, pilot, operated the boat until
1t sunk In 1894. Mr. Hodge was given
work on the boat In the spring Of 1890,
and his career as helper, pilot. captain
and owner OF the F1athead lake boats
which was TO extend TO his death, was
launched.
In the closing years Of his life, Mr..
Hodge saw the almost total extinction
OF freight and passenger boats ON Flat
head lake. He liked to recall days when
lake boats were important In transport
alton IN western Montana.
The Great Northern railroad was
building into the upper FIathead valley
shortly after Mr.. Hodge reached west
ern Montana.
All tinhers for bridge work, powder
for blasting and food and grain sup
plies fOr men and horses were unloaded
from Northern Pacific freight trains at
Ravalu and hauled by many wagons
30 miles to the foot Of Flathead lake
and then carried by the Tom Carter
TO DemersviIle.
The little towns ON Flathead lake and
river, Bigfork, HOyt, DemersvilIe, and
Columbia Fails, were booming.
Mr. Hodge told Of freight for these
towns left IN great piles at the foot OF
the lake, some times for more than q
month, awaiting such time as the Tom
Carter could find space to haul It. Al

large portion Of this freight was car
loads Of whisky for some $50 saloons
In the small settlements.
All boats did a thriving business
Many settlers were coming up into the
upper Flathead valley and most ship
ments from the cattle ranches On the
Flathead Indian reservation were by
boat. Many settlers were miners from
Butte and Anaconda. who would place
their families on homesteads and con-
tinue their work In the mines James
Grant, chief OF police at Butte for
many years; John Foy, for whom F'oy's
lake near Kalispel was named: Billie
Egan, John Lang and Dave Gregg were
among early settlers Mr.. Hodge re-
membered.
Mr.. Hodge was made captain Of the
steamer Klondike, which was built In
1900 by the Hodge Navigation company.
This boat operated until 1910, when the
new Klondike was built, with 4O0-pas-
senger capacity.
Opening Of the Flathead Indian res
ervation in 1910 and lot sales at Poison,
at the foot OF the lake, and at other
towns throughout the lower valley.
brought great influx OF people from
all parts Of the United States. Traffic
ON Flathead lake increased rapidly.
More boats were built. No one realized
that in few years the automobile and
motor freight truck wualId almost do
away with lake transportation.
The opening Of spring In the lower
Flathead valley was always heralded
by the old Klondike whistle as It steam
ed out Of Poison hay for it's first trip
OF the season for a load of logs or other
freight along the shores Of the lake.
Mr.. Hodge died on the old steamer
tugboat at the Poison docks recently.
The countless numbers throughout the
United States who enjoyed boat trips
with Mr.. Hodge as captain or pilot viii
regret his passing.

FARM BOARDS ARE

RECENTLY ORGANIZED BOARDS
RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS FROM
STATE COMMITTEE

With Cancellation machinery FL.
ready set SD In more than half Of
Montana's Sc c0unfiess the county
farm debt advisory boards are rapid
~ beginning work On the problems
which are confronting many Of the
states farmers and their debtors.
Beginning with meeting st RalispeI
recently, counties Of western and
southwestern Montana have been ef-
fecting their organizations under the
direction Of Merritt Greene. Washing
ton, d. c., representative Of the Farm
Credit administration, and T. J. O'Con-
nor of Butte, assistant state co-ordina-

son, jefferson, Silver Bow, Gallatin
Park. Sweet Grass, Mcagher, Wheat

counties
These counties. with those already or
ganized in the eastern part Of the state,
left only IS to be organized, which was
completed few days ago. Meetings
were held at Lewistown, with Fergus,
Petroleum and Judith Basin counties;
at Great Falls, with Teton, Ch0uteau
and Cascade counties; at Shelby, with
Pcmdera, Glacier, ToDle and Liberty
counties; at Malta with Blaine, Htn,
Phillips, and Valley counties; at Wolf
Point, with Roosevelt. Daniels, Sheri-
dan and McCone counties.
The county committees, which were
appointed several weeks ago, are made
up as eQuitably as Is possible Of debtor
and creditor interests. They have no
legal status and cannot force either
party OF q debt adjustment conference
TO accept the suggested terms. The
real purpose OF the committees Is TO
help stop unnecessary foreclosures by
bringing the debtor and creditor to-
getIner for q complete study Of the
conditions Of the debt and to make sug-
gesttOns as TO how an adjustment may
be made. Adjustments are usually
handled through an agreement Of ex-
tension Of time, waving or reducing OF
interest for certain period Of re-
financing through the same creditor on
through another creditor on different
basis. A great number OF settlements
have been made through the federal
land bank.
In eastern Montana, where county
committees first were organized, these
conciliatory boards already have begun
the work Of acting as Intermediates
between the interested parties Accord
ing to III. ]. Green, state co-ordinator
who has been interviewing county COM
mittees and citizens daily for the past
several weeks principals are registering

OHIO SHEEP MUST HAVE
HEALTH CERTIFICATES
This Order viii Become Effective
On And After March I

Because of the fact that scabies, a
highly contagious skin disease of
sheep is very prevalent among the
sheep In certain sections Of Ohio, the
Delaware State Board of Agriculture
feels that the sheep In this State
should be afforded protection from
the importation OF this disease. The
board has, therefore, promulgated an
order requiring that all sheep enter
ing Delaware from the State of Ohio,
except for immediate slaughter.
must be accompanied by a certificate
signed by the proper Ohio State off,
cial or by an inspector of the U. S.
Bureau of Animal Industry, showing
that such sheep are free from any
contagious or infectious disease and
that they have been kept ON prem
ises that have been free from the
disease known as scabies for per-
iOd of at least one year from date of
shipment. This order will become
effective on and after March I. 1884.
As more sheep are being raised in
Delaware each year, II is important
that every precaution be taken
against the introduction of scabies
into the Delaware focks.
