The Montana National Guard Did
Real Army Training at
Helena.

After a two weeks encampnlent
at Camp Cooney, adjoining Fort
Harrison, Helena, Friday of last
week, the Montana national guard,
; 1900 strong, folded its tents and
returned to private life for an
other year.
At the beginning of the en-
campment, Col. John T. Geary,
Gao, in charge of national "uard
affairs for the Ninth Corps area,
with headquarters at San Fran
cisco. expressed in the following
manner his idea of the relation
ship existing between the regular
army and the national guards,
at the time he made his official
insnection of the 163rd Infantry,
as the Montana national guard is
Officially known:
The regular army and the
national Guard are in step. Under
the existing set-up at the outbreak
of the World war, we were in poor
shape. At that time we started
from nowhere, but today. in case
of trouble. we would actually have
a foundation on which to build
u army. The training we are
giving our officers and men is
rapidly making them efficient. Of
course. it is real battle training
that DEVELOPS soldiers. but it is
nv belief that given this training
we can produce as fine soldiers
aS there are in the world. We
must remember during the World
war the allied soldiers had re-
ceived years of battle experience
before We arrived on the scene.
but we were RAPIDLY developing
an extremely efficient fighting
force when the war closed. If YOU
are training a horse for the Ken
lucky Derby, you race him in sew
eral minor contests before the big
event.
Il am very proud of the nation
a! guard organizations in the
Ninth Corps area. I believe they
are more efficient and make bet
ter soldiers than those from other
sections of the United States and
I base that belief on the fact that
they are outdoor men. You take
an indoor Office worker from our
cities and he cannot accustom
himself to the rigors of military
life in the field. as can the man
who is accustomed to wading
streams fishing and blowing thru
snow on the hunt.
1T is interesting to compare
the national guard of today with
that of the past and now where is
the difference so apparent as OBJ
serving them in camp. Under the
old system the yearly camp was
more of a glorified loaf and va
cation. Today the officers and
men come to camp with the seri-
Gus intention of getting as much
out OF it as possible and are not
complaining about a training
schedule which keeps them on the
go from morning until night.
The regular army and the
government appreciate the in1por-
lance of the national guard as
now being able to supplv real

Here on July Is.

A contingent of soldiers from
the first U. S. infantry, stationed
at Fort Warren, Cheyenne, Wyo.,
some 100 strong, is sched-
uled to arrive at Hardin in the

cert in the city park, this place
being chosen that the band may

tunitv to see and hear.
Drill and maneuvers will be
had from 2:30 to 400, and a dis
play OF weapons from 4:3O to $50.
In the evening, from 9 to IL
O'Clock, there will be a free street
dance on the pavement to music
furnished by the army 14-piece
orchestra. It is concentrated
that at least two paved blocks
on Center avenue will be roped
of to give plenty of room for the
large crowd of people to enjoy
this feature.
The weather permitting, thou
sands Of people from all over Big
Horn county and the territory
adjacent will be here to get an
idea of what real army life is
like. Further particulars will be
given in subsequent issues of this
newspaper.

BILLINGS ENTERTAINS
63 HARDIN BOOSTERS

battlefield were discussed Tues
day night over the dinner table
between 63 visiting Hardin boost
ers and their Billings Commercial
club hosts.
Primarily, the Hardin boosters
came here to advertise the Hardin
rodeo, July 3 and 4, but the other
matters consumed much atten-
ton. The Hardin men went home
with a prediction ringing in their
ears that the Broadus highway
would be built and completed by
fall, 1896.
Charles S. Elder, past deputy
district governor of the Lions
club, headed the Hardin delega-
ton. After being introduced by
the POSTMASTER, Walter A. Blume,
MIR. Elder spoke and introduced
the Hardin speakers. Mayor c. ].
Williams of Billings, urging CO.
operation between Billings a n d
Hardin in all matters, had earlier
delivered an address of welcome.
He and representatives of the
Commercial club had met the
delegation at the east bridge. A
welcome was likewise delivered by
H. ]. Coleman, president of the
local commerce body.
Mayor M. r. Calderwood of Har-
din formally extended an invita-
ton to Billings people to be pres
ent at the Hardin rodeo, and the
rodeo's manager, Roy o. Cham
bers, explained how the Lions club
OF Hardin had sponsored the
rodeo and how it was carried out.
Hardin. he said, does not attempt
to make the rodeo a big money
show, nor is an attempt made to
draw the nationally prominent
performers. Instead. he said, the
rodeo riders are primarily from
the ranches in the stock country
in the Hardin district. Because
roplng and riding are part of the
daily life of these cowboys, they
are able to present as good a
show as the larger cities. Mr.
Chambers said. The same stock
used by larger rodeos is used at
Hardin, he added.

Hardin-Broadus highway, which
would cut 100 miles between here

The Broadus road, MI. Funston
said, would bring trade to Har-
din and Billings that is not com
ing this way at present.
The present status of the Big
Horn canyon dam was reviewed
by DR.. l.. H. Labbitt. a leader in
the movement. He found consid-

sne"+ for this project.
