Wheat
Crop Is Thriving

The duststorm disaster in the win
ter wheat belt of western Nebraska
and Kansas may result in some good
for Montana, State Hail Commissioner
E. K. Bowman has reported to Com
missioner of Agriculture A p. Bruce
from the southeastern section of this
state.
Bowman wrote the commissioner that
ern Montana, that the wheat fields
are in good condition, moisture situa-
ton is good and winter wheat crops
are doing particularly well.
He said the fields are dry from Win
nett to Hysham, fair to good in the
judith basin, especially good from Lew:
istown to Buffalo, and generally good
throughout the entire area.

were at their height. Many seekers
after fortunes were crowding into Hell
ena. Travel was slow for the Min
nesota party and was made hazardous
by Indian attacks. The large train was
forced to stop twice en- route to Mon
tana when the wagons were formed in
to a circle to withstand attacks. In the
territory between Fort Wadsworth and
Fort Berthold, and in the Milk River
region the train would be halted on the
higher elevations when the members OF
the party would watch ~entranced the
vast moving herds of grazing buffalo.
The buffalo would work their way
northward in the spring and retrace
their route south and eastward in the
fall. This large group of buffalo was
known as the Great Northwestern
herd" and is estimated to have been
made up Of millions of animals.
Erwin and a party of prospectors
went to Fort Carroll and the Black
Hills in 1876 in search for gold, and re-
turned to the Yellowstone valley the
next year to prospect on the south side
of the Big Horn mountains. MI. Erwin
established his headquarters at a point
about l miles above old Fort Custer.
Five years later Erwin spent much of
his time south of the Yellowstone hunt
ing and killing buffalo. Thousands of
the animals had survived the general
slaughter. It was his observation that
in the spring Of 1883 vast numbers of
buffalo moved northward and never
returned. He expressed the belief,
which is shared by a number of other
early day pioneers, that the herd per-
ished while fording a river on its north
ward journey. This possible instance is
regarded as n of the contributing
factors to the complete determination
Of the buffalo during the early eighties.
Having once decided upon a course
nothing but death would stop the adj
vance of a herd of buffalo, is the testi-
mony of the early-day hunters. It is
possible that this herd, as they observ-
ed, had plunged into the raging waters
OF some turblent stream at spring flood
tide and persisted in attempting to cross
it.
Jack Hawkins, who came to Fort
keogh in 1876, recalled an incident of
a small band Of buffalo crossing the
Yellowstone near the mouth of Stagger
creek, just west of Miles City on the
north side of that stream. He was re-
turning to the fort from a hay cutting
trip to Graveyard creek. 1t was in the
winter. Hawkins crossed the Yellow
stone on the ice. Reaching the north
bank he was attracted by a commotion
in the river. He saw several buffalo on
the river ice trying to cross. The weight
of the animals broke the ice. They

struggled vainly to regain a foothold
on the ice and persisted.
Cattle began to come into the yell
lowstone valley in large numbers be-
ginning in 1882. Mace and Lebo
brought a bunch of milk COWS that year
from Washington. Shortly thereafter
the Diamond COW outfit brought in sew
eral hundred head of range cattle from
Texas. 1t is related that the advent Of
the Diamond Cow outfit cattle was the
beginning Of the great livestock in
dustry which flourished and grew to
great proportions during a period Of
20 years in southeastern Montana.

spike. After pros Mon rama Lou Grill
pecting and mining in Arizona for sew
eral years, he and three companions
came to Montana in 1873 10 search for
gold in the Big Horn mountains.
The party also prospected in Yellow
stone national park and pursued a
course for a distance of 300 miles down
the Yellowstone river without finding
a trace of civilization or molestation by
Indians. Finding no gold in the Big
Horn region, Mace decided to take up
a homestead under the desert land
law, finding a location in 1882 at a
point about nine miles west of For
syth. AS the Northern Pacific was then
building its tracks through southeastern
Montana, Mace killed beef cattle and
sold the meat to the railroad camps,
receiving eight cents a pound for the
choice cuts.
It a not an uncommon thing for
ranchers to wake up in the morning to
find their horses stolen. Considerable
trouble was encountered because of the
activities of the Indians in this direc-
ton. The settlers took turns" in keep
ing a night watch over their stock. Even
under these circumstances their horses
were often stolen.

Great for buffers.

GOH, YES, I admit that for the
" average golfer the sand wedge is
the club" Fred says. But it isn't
shot of any skill. The darned thing
Is so heavy that all you have to do is
let the club fall on the ball with rea-
sonable accuracy and the ball just
has to come out. But the main thing
Is that you can't get it near the hole,
and getting the ball near the hole
from a bunker is the test OF good
golfer"
Gene Sarazen says that scoring
among the better golfers has been
reduced by shot around due to the
general use of the sand wedge. /
think Gene is undertaking the case.
Why some of these dudes who play
the wedge so we'll would stay In the
bunkers all Winter if they took the
wedge away and made 'em play the
old niblick or mashie-niblick. They
never would get out. and as for play
ing the ball close to the cup, they
wouldn't know how to do it.
But it Is a great club for the
fellow who doesn't claim any skill at
the game, who used to leave 'em laying
in the sand and who doesn't profess
to have any great knowledge of the
more intricate shots. The thing is
automatic. Heavy and keen-edged,
with flange to prevent the blade from
going too deep, the club almost plays
itself It's the nearest thing to an
automatic golf club that have seen
in more than 40 years of playing this
game"
