M'CARL OFFICE

Some clerks have already made
preliminary plans for changing

while others have definitely lined
up transportation for committing

About 1900 workers would be
affected, If the rumor eventually
becomes a fact. Although off
cials would not admit the move
is planned, it is believed that a
strong possibility exists, particu-
larly if Congress should appro-

instead Of remodeling the red
brick atrocity now squatting In
Pension Park.
According to the whispers that
have traversed McCarl'S corridors,
G. A. o. would take over the
Montgomery Ward Building in
Baltimore, the famous mail order
house being said to have decided
to erect a new structure elsewhere.
Then, when its new building was
completed here, G. A. O. would
move back to Washington.
Officially, however, the rumor
is said to "be without justifica-
ton" Should a new building be
decided upon, G. A. o. moguls say
that they would remain where
they are until new wings were
built on each side of the Pension
Office. Then, it is said, clerks
and files would be moved into
the wings while the center Struc-
ture was completed.

Billy Hamilton Pioneer of Columbus Was One of First Guides in
Yellowstone National Who Kneu of It's Scenic Grandeur

1 springs on the south side, the lower, o.
north, end Of the lake, Vinegar creek
and Pelican creek, where they caught
large quantities Of beaver and otter
They also told about Sulphur mountain
the Yellowstone falls, the mud geySers
and explained the relations Of all these
more lucidly than any map can show
them.
They also described a fight they had
with large party Of Piegan Indians at
the lower end of the lake, on prairie,
about half a mile in length. The trap
pers built corral at the upper end Of
the prairie and fought desperately for
two days, losing five men besides hav-
ing many wounded. The trappers fl
nally compelled the Piegans to leave,
with the loss OF many Of their bravest
warriors. After the wounded were able
to travel the trappers took an Indian
trail and struck a warm spring creek.
This they followed to the Madison
river, which was then unknown to the
trappers-at least to this particular
party.
In the upper Madison country the
trapperS described the Lower GeySer
basin and the Firehole river The de-
scription, according to Hamilton, was
astonishing to all the trapperS at the
rendezvous.
Men in the uncharted wilderness had
to carry their road maps in their heads,
calling up from memory'S depths de-
scriptions of routes and geographic
features from spoken descriptions
needless to say, mountain men had a
keen ability for description, derived
from equally keen faculties for, observa-
ton of everything that came within
sight or hearing. Likewise, they had
the ability to file away in their memo
ries the outstanding features Of any
country described to them.
These characteristics OF observation
and memory enabled the mountain man
to make his way through uncharted
country on his own; it was these same
highly developed faculties which made
such men as Jim Bridger so valuable
to government geographers from 1850
until the west was settled
Yellowstone park was not to be ade-
Quately presented TO the world and |
created a national park for another 80 /,
years after Hamilton heard these trap /
pers describe it. But during those
years he had retained the memory Of /
that description heard about a rendez- |
vous campfire, and it was not faith
full route guide and geographic chron-
lcle of what his party was to see.
Hamilton'S explanation drew express
sions of wonder from his party regard
ing his long memory. Likewise, they
thought it more than passing strange
that the outside world had not earlier
Known about that wonderful country.

The late Billy Hamilton Of Column

park, he took 3 job Of guiding party
through the Wonderland. then not so
well developed and catalOgued In

loww or other printed information,
Hamilton guided his party over the
crude trails Of those days, telling his
employers what was ahead Of them
from day to day, as Though he were
entirely familiar with the region.

Of his descriptions
How comes it, Hamilton" his party
asked. you said that you had never
been in this section before, yet you 60
from place to place describing every
thing just as it is. !"
Hamilton explained that in the year
1889 a party Of 40 men started from
some point along what later became the
Oregon trail for the exploration OF the
upper Snake river country. In the
party were Ducharme, Louis Anderson,
Jim and John Baker, Joe Power, L.

Hamilton. born about 1922 in Scot
land, had been brought to the United
States by his parents as a child. He
grew to manhood at st. Louis where,
at the age of 20 years he was in poor
health and doctors advised change OF
climate. His father bought third in
terest In an expedition to the Rockies,
and sent Hamilton along for a years
roughing expedition, with Bill Williams
famous trapper Of that era, as captain
Of the party and mentor to Hamilton
Expecting to be gone year Hamil-
ton was away from home six years be-
fore he returned, for a brief visit only,
and then returned to spend the re-
mainder Of his life in the mountains.
1t was in the spring Of 1912 that
Hamilton left st. Louis. Later that
year, at a trappers rendezvous, sitting
about q camp fire and listening to the
story Of that 1889 visit to the upper
Snake, Hamilton learned for the first
time of the wonders which later be-
came Yellowstone park.
The Snake river party had crossed
the Continental divide, dropping down
the Yellowstone, then called Elk, river,
to Yellowstone lake, and across the
hills TO the Madison river and the gey-
ser basins.
Hamilton, new to the west and en-
chanted with the descriptions Of the
country, gave rapt attention. In fact,
Williams asked him to make notes as
closely as possible, as he desired to visit
the same region.
