is justified in going to six spades. k. The Play
 The play is rather interesting. The opening heart lead is trumped by the declarer. He takes two rounds of spades, picking up the outstanding trumps. The jack of clubs then Is finessed. A diamond is returned and won with the ace.
 When West dropped the ten the declarer could now see the possi- ble chance of making his contract. He had located the king of clubs in Vests hand. It now looked as if West held only two dia- monds.
 Another diamond was played, West played the jack and North won with the king. The six of hearts was trumped with the ten of spades. A small club was won in dummy with the ace.
 A club was returned and West was forced to win with the king. He had nothing but hearts left, so when he played a heart, the declarer discarded the five of dia- monds from dummy and trumped with the jack of spades.
 The good club was played and the nine of diamonds discarded. The last two tricks, of course. are won with the two good trumps. and the small slam con- tract made.

was no stockade at this fort. as there
had been around earlier posts on the
river. All the buildings faced toward
the center of the enclosure, the outer
wall forming their rear walls. On the
side toward the river was the entrance
consisting of a large wooden gate, in
which was a smaller gate, or postern,
for use when it was not necessary to
use the large one.
On Christmas night of the year 1850,
a dance was given at the fort in honor
Of the completion of the house by Maj
or Culbertson. All the employees of the
fort were there, and many Indian wom-
en- who had been taken as wives by
n white men. In the midst of the
gayety, Major Culbertson who was en-
Joying the hilarity as much as any one,
proposed that the fort, which up to that
time had retained the name of the
earliest post up the river-Lewis-
should be renamed in honor of Senator
Thomas Benton of Missouri, who had
saved the company from extinction
some years before when it was con
fronted with a charge of violating the
law prohibiting the sale Of whisky to
n Indians. The proposal met with
approval, and it vas in this way that
the post received the name by which
1t Is dear to the heart Of every Montan-
an.

The passing of Joe Culbertson,
famous Indian scout, at Wolf
Point a few years ago, recalls the
career of his distinguished father,
Major Alexander Culbertson. m
of Montana's first captains of in
dustry. He engaged in the fur
trade in the Upper Missouri river
country, 80 years ago, as the
trading head of the American Fur
company, then the great rival
of the Hudson's Bay company. lie
was at the zenith of his power
IS years before there was any
semblance of law and order in
what is now Montana, the only
man in authority in these parts,
and his word was law. As the
head of a rich and powerful cor
pOration, he was overload Of the
American northwest, east of the
Rocky mountains, and lived and
ruled like a king. The principal
monument to his memory is the
town Of Fort Benton, which he
founded as a trading post in 1886,
and his interesting history IS
closely interviewer with that OF
Major Andrew Dawson, whom he
placed in charge of the fur COM
pany's business at Fort Benton.
The town of Culbertson was
named for the great fur trader.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1934-09-21

Major Culbertson decided in 1884,
after Fort Mckenzie had been destroy
ed by the Indians, to build a post for
the Blackfeet trade further up the riv-
er, and he selected as a site a point
five miles above where the present town
of Fort Benton stands today, but on
the opposite side of the Missouri.
A few years experience at Fort Lewis
proved the u~ndesirability of its loca-
ton. It had been built on the east side
Of the river as a protective measure
against Blackfeet attacks, but when the
Blackfeet became more friendly, the
river proved an obstacle to trading, as
at times of the year they found it i'm
possible to ford with their pelts for
trading. In 1916, therefore, Culbertson,
chose the site of Fort Benton for a new
post and the first fort was completed
that year.
Fort Benton, whose ruins still are
preserved in fragmentary form by the
people of the town which took its name,
was located on the west side of the
river, 3,575 miles above its mouth. The
enclosing wall was $50 feet square. The
material used for this wall and the
building within as well, was adobe,
or sun-dried brick. The blocks of adobe
were 4x8x16 inches, the outer wall con-
sisting Of two blocks end to end, thus
giving a wall 80 inches thick. At dia-
gonal corners were two bastions. There

With the story of historic Fort Ben
ton, which for many years was the
most important point between st. Louis
and the Pacific coast, there are two
names that are interviewer. They are
Major Alexander Culbertson and Major
Andrew Dawson. Between the years
1886, when the American Fur COM
pany built the fort, and 1864, when
it was sold by the company to private
traders, the destinies of the old post
were in the hands of these two men.
After the latter date, Fort Benton's old
glory as the center Of the northwest
fur trade departed, but the town which
wa built beside the fort entered into
an era of even greater historical great
ness as the head of navigation for the
immense traffic between the east and
the gold country that began to send
its stream of golden wealth to the ma
ton, which was sore stricken and weak
ened by the war Of the rebellion.
Eut about the earlier period Of the
old fort there remains q halo Of his
toric interest that possesses q most
fascinating interest, created, possibly,
because this lone outpost Of civilization

own. It made and exacted obedience

tains, about 1000 feet finished"
Sunday, June "a, found Mr.. Wiley
still in Helena. He interested himself in
looking at real estate-lots." In the
meantime he had driven out to Green
horn Gulch again to visit with his SON,
who returned to Helena with him. To-
gether with a Mr.. Canon they went out
to "Canon's addition and made him
an offer of $4,000 for about 12A acres,
plated S.. E. from passenger depot adj
joining the N. P. land; he would not
sell; I may close with him yet with a
little modifying of the offer-shows
some bottom to real estate here, any,
how. He (Canon) is the largest holder
of land here. If the town grows it must
be in that direction. The railroad paid
more than double that price for the
adjoining land"
Being an exceptionally close observer,
Mr.. Wiley at this point in his diary
writes that "one day last week, Wednes-
day, I believe, the train from the east
did not arrive at evening as usual on
account of the going out of the West
Gallatin bridge, caused by high water;
one days travel omitted. On the same
day the stage from Butte was held up
and the passenger invited to step out
and show their pockets. Robbers only
got $25-the rest was secreted. This
does to often happen lately. On ou1
ride from Greenhorn we had a cotton
tail rabbit just beside us; magpies very
thick"

making a trip to the Yellowstone ma
