The city of Livingston was founded
with the advent of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. Writing of the founding
of the city in 1883, Col. E. S. Topping,
who was in at its birth, said: When
the railroad was definitely located all
could see that where it crossed the
river, four miles above Benson's Land
ing, was the natural location for a
town, and there, early in the spring
Of 1882, people commenced to build.
The place was called Clark City and,
although 1t had not been surveyed,
many temporary buildings went up. It
grew rapidly and as the railroad track
came nearer all the rough gang that
preceded the building OF a western road
came and stopped there during the
winter of 1928, making it a tough
town. In January, 1883, the railroad
company completed the survey Of a
town adjoining Clark City and many
newcomers put up good buildings in
the new town, which was named Liv-
ingston. The lots, though high in price,
sold. readily, and when spring came
nearly all the residents of Clark City,
and many newcomers. moved to TIT
new town. The rough element went on
with the railroad track and the town
settled down to a prosperous career. It
supports a daily and two weekly papers
and has a population of 1000"
1t Is generally accepted that Living
ston was founded in 1882 but it is quite
probable that there was a log building
OF two there long before the city was
thought Of, and that Livingston had
a population Of eight persons in the
winter Of 1867-68. A few Of the pio-
neers Of the seventies remember seeing
the remains of a building of cotton
wood logs on the river bank at the
site Of Livingston, although who occu-
pied the cabin is not definitely known.
In his book, Memoirs of a White Grow,
Thomas LaForge tells a story which
seems to prove that the site Of the
town was occupied prior to 1882. The
book states that a company of militia
from Rozeman built a log shelter at the
site IN 1867 and carried on a campaign
against the Indians that summer Dur
ing the coming winter the shelter was
occupied by LaForge. his father. moth

ervation retarded the settlement of the
region. The population of Park county
was scattered in 1873. A small post
office, supply store, and stage station
four miles down the river from the
present site of Livingston was estab-
lished that year by Amos Benson, and
called Benson's landing. DR.. A. ]. Hun
ter and his family settled at Hunters
Hot Springs in 1870. Placer gold was
discovered in Emigrant gulch in 1868
by Thomas Curry, who long remained
in the vicinity. He brought several COM
panions to the Gulch from Virginia
city in 1864 and soon there were scores
of prospectors there. In 1864 Sam Word
and N. P. Langford, who later wrote
the famous vigilante Days and Ways,
were granted a charter to run a stage
line and telegraph wire between the
gulch and Virginia City. The miners
remained in the gqlch only a short
time, however, and by 1880 the entire
white population Of the upper Yellow
stone valley amounted to only 1873.

antedated Livingston by 10 years. The
camp at the gulch was established in
1864. From Yellowstone City the miners
worked up the length of the gulch. The
first winter of the camps existence was
a difficult one. Buildings consisted of
a few log huts. Supplies were low and
flour sold for $28 a sack. All that kept
the little mining settlement from starv-
ing out that first winter was the abund-

camp after it was established by
Thomas Curry, an Irish tailor turned
miner. What was probably the first
garden in the upper Yellowstone
try was planted in Yellowstone City
in 1865 by Albert Huld, who raised a
crop of vegetables and a half acre OF
wheat.
The original settlement of Yellow
stone City was short-lived for by 1866
the placers had been worked and the
west. Besides, the town was on the
Grow reservation and the indians be-
gan to bother the whites, killing a num-
Der. The town became deserted, u
from time to time optimistic miners re-
turned to the gulch and the original
site of Yellowstone City, and even n
the present day there is some gold
mining there. Several old-time pros

SPORT SLAN1S

Fights between ball players on the field furnish tonic for the average fan.
 That is the conclusion Thomas Jefferson Hickey, retired President of the American Association. has reached after 40 years of experi- ence and observation.
 In the 15 years that Hickey was President of the American Associa- tion he never fined or suspended a player for fighting with another.
 of course, fighting with an um- pire is something else" Hickey ex- plains. You have to give protec- tion to umpires to uphold their authority. My instructions to um- pires, however, were to keep. out Of the fights between players. That was for their own good, because in a mix-up some disgruntled player might take advantage of the op- portunity to pay off an old grudge, and take a sock at the official, claiming the blow struck was ac- cidental like.
 When Joe Tinker was managing the Columbus club, he protested to me and said: You're ruining my club. You're taking all the fight out of 'em.' So I told the umpires to keep away from the players

ISLANDERS WIN FROM VETERANS, SEVENTH F FRAME
Ball Hides Out in Grass j While Three Runs
 Cross Plate

! Douglas tossed their lucky horse shoe over their left shoulder and it konked the Legion on the noggin last night, to let the Islanders walk off with the ball game, 6-5, with the Legionnaires too dazed to do anything about it
 After both the rival pitchers. Claude Erskine and Ward McAlister had made mighty efforts to hand the game each to the other, Me AliSter finally did it in the first of the seventh, when with the Legion holding a five to three lead, he grooved a fast one for Erskine, at bat, who lined it past KrauSe in left field. The drive was good for a nice double, but the ball had it's own ideas and laid out in the deep grass until Erskine had cross ed the plate, with Bonner and Jensen in front of him, to give the Islanders the odd run.

Then in the first of the fifth Jensen put Douglas back in the lead with a four base clot that scored Roller ahead of him. Erskine got generous in the last of the frame and let three bunts, two singles and a double chalk up three markers to give the Legion the two-run lead that they held until the unlucky seventh.
 Red Gray was top hitter with three safeties in three trips, fol- lowed by Jensen and Erskine, each with a single and circuit swat.

 Tigers Free Thinker
 It seems that Gerald Walkers penchant for doing his own think ing on the base paths, an act which often brings the wrath of Mickey Cochrane and the Tiger coaches down on his head, is not a newly acquired habit. Gerald has always been a free thinker-an in dividualist, as it were, in regard to his conduct in the sports arena.
 On more than one occasion when he was playing football for the University of Mississippi he inject ed bit of extra excitement into the proceedings by displaying his fistic accomplishments.
 Once, when Ole Miss was waging a torrid football battle with Louis jana State University, Walkers an- tics cost his team a well-deserved victory.
 He was bent on settling some sore of feud, imaginary or real, that he felt against the L. s. U. safety man. Walker was carrying the ball and although he reached the goal standing up he deliberately charged into the Louisiana player. He knocked his oponent down, all right, but in doing so the ball popped out of his arms. Another Louisiana player scooped up the ball and ran the length of the gridiron for the only score of the contest.
 Mickey Cochrane is not the first athletic leader to find Walker a very capable athlete when he is in the mind to perform in the ortho- dox manner, and. at the very same time, a problem child" of sports

WORLD NEARS
CRISIS, HULL
DECLARES

NEW YORK, May % G.N.S0.
A warning that the world has
reached a parting of the ways
and must either choose the road
to peace or war was given by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
today in a Maritime Day lunch
con address at the Hotel AStor
here opening Foreign Trade
Week.
After reading a message from
President Roosevelt emphasizing
that foreign trade represented
the foundation of peace, friend
ship and understanding among
nations" Hull warned that the
world must decide quickly which
road it intends to take.
Defends Trade PactS
He sought to show that his
doctrine of reduced trade barriers
and the freer flow OF interna-
tional commerce led along the
road to peace. He warned that
economic isolation led along the
road to war.
Picturing an era of prosperity
awaiting at the end OF his road,
Hull said:
"The world was never more
ready than it Is today for an
unprecedented expansion of all
types of production and trade,
for which only an unShackling
of international commerce from
its present-day paralyzing re-
strictiOns can provide an ade-
quate stimulus"
In foreseeing destruction Of
modern civilization at the end OF
the other road, he warned that
the policy of economic self-con.
tainment will lead to political
and governmental chaos and mill
tary adventure"
Canadian Record Cited
He reiterated his conviction that
in order to sell American goods
abroad the United States must
be prepared to buy foreign goods,
In this connection, he cited the
case Of Canada.
"In 1929, when this country
had been selling to Canada
nearly 900 million dollars of
our commodities annually and
buying about 500 millions in
return, some of our isOlatiOnistS
decided we could cut down very
much by means of virtually en-
barge tariffs, the imports from
Canada, and at the same time
could continue to sell Canada
900 million dollars of our COM
mOdities.
Canada hastened to raise
her tariffs against US. This re-
taliatiOn was the most impOr-
tant single factor in reducing
our sales to Canada from nearly
900 millions to something less
than 300 millions, and our i'm
ports from Canada from nearly
500 millions to about 200 mil
