At Stockade Lake in the noun
tain lake district of the Beartooth
Plateau southwest of Red Lodge
may still be seen the remains of an
Old fur trappers' fertilization. The
exact origin of the old fort is not
known, but it is one of the few re-
minders of the fabulous days of the
fur traders to be seen in the north
west today.
Most of the early forts erected by the
fur companies have long since disap-
peared and within a few years the old
stockade at Stockade Lake will have
disappeared forever, for its few remain
ing logs are rotting fast The remains
lie at the edge of little park of tim
Der, protected at the rear by high,
rocky cliffs. A story in the Red Lodge
Picket for Feb. 81, 1907, places the date
of the building of this stockade at 1882,
and states it was built by trappers of
the Hudson Bay Co. During the time
the post was used" reads the story in
the Picket, 1T must have sheltered a
large body of men, for the building was
more than 100 yards square. The In
dams were thick in the region at that
time. The post was constructed of large
pine logs and reinforced from the in
side by slabs of rock pierced with holes
to shoot through. BY careful searching

rid state highways of the drunken

Upon conviction of drunken driv-

Beck explained that many states
have similar regulations while
some even have definite laws pro-
viding for the revocation upon
conviction.
Highway patrolmen have been
advised to report the name of any
person found guilty of operating a
car while drunk, with the recon-
mendatiOn that the license be sus-
pended. The board will act on the

who was to be known the world over
as the great Chief Plenty Coups often
visited Allen in his blacksmith shop,
usually bearing gifts. Once, Dr. Allen
recalls, it was purse of elk hide, beau
tifully beaded, another time pipe of
ash, polished and carved. Often, in
years to come, the two men hunted
on the plains and, although Plenty
Coups never learned the English Ian
guage, there was a gradual tightening
of the bond of friendship between them
that had no need of words.
And that fall day of 1882 when last
they met in DR.. Aliens office saw
Chief Plenty Coups place shaking
hand on Aliens shoulder and strain
his poor, almost sightless eyes to see,
once again, the face of his white BROTH
er. heard him say something IN his
husky, quavering voice, which Simon
Bull-tail interpreted:
'Fifty-three years ago we met on the
banks of the Little Big Horn. We were
boys then, young and strong. Now we
are almost ready to cross the Slippery
Log, but, after SO SHOWS, we are still
friends"

DR.. Allen of Billings and Plenty Coups of Crows
Became brothers Under the Skim 81 Years AGO
BY GLENDoL1N DAMON WAGNER

r. w. A. ALLEN of Billings and
the late Chief Plenty Coups
were born the same year-1848,
IL their birthplaces separated al
most by the width Of q con-
tinent. They met as enemies with the
suspicion and hatred of racial antag-
0nism between them. From that first
meeting began friendship which en-
dured until the death of the old chief.
The last time saw Plenty Coups was
before his death, up in DR.. Aliens Of
flee. The two old men, partly through
sign talk and partly by. the aid of
Simon Bull-tail, were re-living the adj
venturous days Of their youth. Often
they chuckled as they reminded each
other of exciting times. Occasionally a
as they realized that the glamorous
period Of youth was over for them.
Once they stood up and, with arms
about one another's shoulders, did a
few steps Of the war dance, singing,
"Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Hey-ya-hey!" just
bration Of a triumphant battle against
their common hOrSe-thieving enemy,
the Blackfeet, out in Lake Basin cOun-
try.
It was in 1877 that DR.. Allen and
Plenty Coups first met in the valley of
the Little Big Horn. Allen, with some
a prospecting trip down in Wyoming
Territory, where they had encountered
some Sioux, still intoxicated by their
recent victory over General Custer. Any
doubts concerning the results of that
encounter Grizzly Bill could have dis
PEELED by displaying, some, gruesome
souvenirs dangling from his 1addle
horn-Sioux scalps. Now the men were
tired and hungry. They wanted nothing
so much as to make camp, boil coffee
fry buffalo steak, and then lie down
and sleep. But they were in Crow ter
ritory and it behooved them to advance
wari1y. Presently ahead of them they
saw, through thickening dusk, a few

fraught with danger, when men must
be on the defensive until friendship
was proven.
Allen said: Howl" and gave the
Grow sign but the naughty brave sat
silent, lips tight. Allen assured him,
as best he could, by sign language,
That he and his t party Were ends that
Horn Canyon prospecting for gold, that
all they desired was to camp ami rest
until morning. And still the young
brave, surrounded by his 20 warriors,
sat his horse in silence, suspicious and
inimical, cycling the preparations for
making camp.
Allen and his men built fire of dried
cottonwood branches and hung pets OF
coffee over it. They thrust chunks of
buffalo meat and that choicest Of all
delica CT es-fat buffalo tongues
sticks and broiled them over the flames.
Soon the fragrance of sizzling meat
and boiling coffee accomplished what
failed to do-dispelled the grim sus-
picion on the faces of the Indians. They
shifted, they glanced at one another
and nodded and smiled, and then, with
one accord they leaped from their
horses and came toward the campfire.
Gravely Allen took from glowing ashes
a big hunk Of buffalo meat; dripping

brave. Gravely he accepted. dividing It
and giving to each of his warriors 3
portion. The Redmen ate ravenously in
grateful, companionable silence. Cof-
fee was poured for them and Allen,
who knew the weakness of the Indian,
made it into thick syrup with sugar.
And now, in the stern, Watchful eyes
friendliness. After the feast was over
the men, both Redmen and whites, lay
sprawled on the ground, smoking the
peace pipe, while Aliens party gave
the Grows news of the outside world.
They told of their recent victory over
burst Of generosity, presented the Crow
brave with one of the Sioux scalps.
They discussed what was in everyone's
mind at that time, the massacre of Gus
ters men by the Indians, and the Crow
brave reminded them, with fine pride:
I'VE, the Crows, fought with the whites
against the Sioux. Some of our Crows
enemy, the Sioux, have many. good
guns taken from the whites while we,
the Crows, have very few"
Allen presented him with a needle
gun taken from the Sioux that day, and
said: "Our White Father in Washing
ton is going to build a fort called Fort
Custer, where there will be many SOL
the Sioux. Our White Father knows the
Crows do not speak with crooked
tongue"
Gravely the Crow brave stood erect,
not very tall but broadshonlde and
splendidly built, and extended his hand
to Allen. "Some day may be chief Of
my people. I will never forget what
you have spoken" He pulled his knife
from its sheath at his belt and extend
ed it, Allen understood. To swear blood
brotherhood by the knife is, for the
till death. He placed his hand beside
the slim, bronzed hand on the blade,
thus beginning friendship that fu-
ture years cemented, and that was eli
NAKED by that last reunion in DR..
Aliens office SO years later.
Allen remembers Plenty Coups who
was the ambitious young brave, Aeek-
chea-ahoosh then, as man Of iron,
with cold reserve and innate hauteur,

head nobly poised, face strong and
frank and fine. Even then he bore the
stamp of the born leader of men.
After that first meeting on the banks
of the Little Big Horn three years
passed before the trails of Allen and
Plenty Coups crossed again. Meanwhile
Allen had secured the position OF gov
eminent blacksmith at Fort Custer.
One day he glanced up to see a. young
Grow standing in the doorway leading
small child by the hand. The Indian
was Aleek- chea-ahoosh and the child
was his adopted son. Ut was always a
deep sorrow to Plenty Coups that he,
who loved children, had none of his
own. This day he wanted toy toma-
hawk made for the boy so he could 60

falo calves. He drew design on paper.
The handle must be of stout ash end
ing in a pipe, but, beneath the pipe,
instead of the usual Ratchet, there was
to be a triangle of steel verging to
sharp point. $50 papoose can kill many
buffalo," Plenty Coups explained with
a chuckle, in sign language. And ne
flashed smile and murmured: bot
given to the lad.
This was in the fall Of 1880, at the
beginning of the annual buffalo kill. A
hard winter set in, months passed and
Allen quite forgot the incident, when.
one morning of early spring, the two
visited him again. Under one arm the
boy carried his tomahawk, adorned
with fringed and beaded elk hide
streamers. Under the other he had
small buffalo robe, exquisitely tanned
and bleached, which he presented to

a buffalo calf and he had brought the
hide as a gift to his white brother.

From kitchens to museums, District
w. p. A. relief workers seem to be
striking their stride, fitted at last into
the inches in which their respective
talents and ability can be most ably
developed and helpful to the COM
munity.
That was the impression gained yes
terday by Mrs. Ellen s. woodward. as
sistant w. p. A. administrator In
charge of women's and professional
projects, who took day ofi to make
her first personal inspection of local
w. p. A. non- construction projects in
approximately two years.
The triumph Of her tour was reached
at the Smithsonian Institution, where
some 80 white collar" employees have
been fitted temporarily into its various
departments. The skill and accuracy
of these relief workers won high praise
from museum officials, grateful for
their assistance in the technical classi-
fication of material which long has
been stored away and reconditioning OF
exhibits which long have awaited their
place IN museum CABINETS.
Visits Colored Unit.
Earlier, Mrs. Woodward had in
cluded in a busy schedule lunch at
the colored unit of the Training School
Of Household Workers, at lila o street,
where "a students are now learning the
proper methods of keeping house.
Since the training school was opened,
some IS students have been placed in
domestic situations, and District house,
wives are beginning to show much in
terest in their training, according to
the supervisor, Mrs. Ella N. Putnam.
A similar school is operated for white
women, not only for its value In job
hunting but for its contribution to the
proper maintenance Of their own
| homes.
Other points in Mrs. Woodward's s
tour included the District sewing room
at John Marshall Church, where 1900
women are employed in two daily
shifts. Here $4,000 garments were
made last month, the number includ-
| ing some 600 sweaters knitted by q
