in a radius Of 100 miles about Billings
for stock.
Then came the Boer war and Eng
lands need Of good cavalry horses.
Again Robert Leavens was quick to
seize opportunity. In connection with
Hereford and Lsowther-both of the
latter young Englishmen who, like
Robert Leaven's father, had ventured
into the new land to seek their for
tunes-Mr. LeavenS engaged In pur-
chasing saddle horses for the British
government. The horse station or mar
ket was on Lockwood Flat, across the
East Bridge, below Billings "a spot bet
ter known now as The Island'). There
often a thousand head of picked range
horses were assembled and held by the
firm until sold to British cavalry Off
GERS. The three partners, Leavens,
Hereford and Lowther, bought the
horses outright, investing their own
money, selecting according to certain
rigid specifications set down by the
British cavalry, and, MIR. Leavens says,
it was not often that horse SO chosen
failed to find a purchaser. Thousands
of range horses were thus transferred
to the South African war zone, so many
that the west was practically cleaned
of its best saddle horses.
Following this brief but profitable
venture Mr.. Leavens engaged in the

ranch, In 1905, he founded the little
village of Bear Greek, located a few
miles east of Red Lodge, starting 8
thriving bank, mercantile establish
ments, a blacksmith Shop-all the ele-
ments that go to make a town.
In 1910, MFR. Leavens, with his family
moved to Billings. And now the rungs
IN the ladder of opportunity were set
close and easily stepped. In 1912 Rob
ert LeaVens was made alderman of Bill
nngs. During the years 1918, 1914 anc
1915 he served as mayor. Then the vot-
erS of his district voiced their conf
dence in him by choosing him, for fouI
consecutive terms, from about 1921 t6
1929, as legislator at Helena. While
there he served as chairman Of the
Livestock and Public Ranges Commits
sion.
Briefly, this is the sober account Of
the colorful life of a man who, more
than so years ago, Travelled up the Mis-
souri, with his father to stake his for
tune In the west, who chose to invest
in the new land his youth and hopes
and faith, an investment that has re-

1t was at this time that the first cav
airy troop in Montana was organized
at Billings Troop A. Mr.. Leavens was
made second lieutenant and Johnnie
Hughes a sergeant. Just as the two
were beginning to realize q substantial
profit from their investment in stage
coaches and horses the Spanish-Amer-
lean war broke out. Montana's cavalry
troop A was transferred to federal troop
M, with Bond, formerly at Fort Custer,
as captain, and Bailey as first heuten-
ant. Although Troop M never got into
action 1t was sent south for the dura-
ton of the conflict. During that time

BY GLENDOLTN DAMON WAGNER
The early days Of che west found
the door Of opportunity swinging
epen readily for young men with
vision and courage. In THAI new
hand. where industries were rapidly
taking root, there was such young
man, named Robert Leavenss who
possessed the power TO vision pos
kfbiIftfeS and was quick TO seize
them. He made of the years of his
future a ladder upon whose rungs
he climbed steadily from one po-
siti0n of trust to another.
In 1894, about Is years after he first
arrived on Montana plains, when he
was 26 years old, he was working foT
old Bill Gordon who put him in charge
OF an outfit-men, wagons, cavvy OF
horses-to take them from Judith
basin down to the lower Musselshell
there to turn over the 5-bar cattle, tnat
Is, round up, brand and deliver 70 the
new owner. It was while on this trip
that Robert Leavens found the oppor-
tInity to go into business for himself.
With Bin Gordon going his bonds and
with Johnnie Hughes as his partner,
Mr.. LeaVens took a government con-
tract for carrying mail by stage coach
from Billings to Lewistown. The LeaV-
.ens-Hughes stage coach firm became
standing businesses of the west. The
outfit, Mr.. Leavens says, was divided
into three relays, two men working be-
tween Billings and Isavina, two between
Iavina and Ubet, and one between
Ubet and Lewistown. Hence every day
there were five outfits on the road,
carrying passengers and United States
mails 1t was q position Of trust for
two young, untried men. They were re-
.sponsible for the safe delivery, not only
OF mail, express and valuableS, carried
In hon-bound boxes, but for the safety
and comfort of passengers as Well
Much has been written Of the wild
stage coach racing of that day 1t Is
said that Majors Of the firm Russell,
Majors and Waddell" drove his coach
from Salt Lake to LeavenwOrth, a dis
lance of 1900 miles, in 10 days, and
that Holiday, anxious to break that
record, made the trip from Salt Lake
to Atkinson In eight days absolutely
wrecking horses, coaches and other
equipment valued at $4,000"
Leavens and Hughes made no effort
to break speed records. They gave no
spectacular performances Rather It
was their ambition to cover the route
with as much consideration for pas
sengers and horses as possible. The
government, Mr.. LeavenS says, allowed
the service 81 hours in summer, 80 in
winter. About every IS miles they
changed horses. Those heavy thunder
ing coaches, with passengers comfort
able under cover, but with the driver
perched on his high seat, managing
his four-horSe team, unsheltered from
summer sun and winter storms, was
the precursor of our present highly ef-
ficient and rapid air mail service. The
trip that required a minimum Of n
hours can now be flown In less than

were no smoOthly-graveled highways.
The coaches lurched and bumped on
rough trails that meandered across the
vast, sage-brushed plains. Not once, Mr..
Leavens assures us, were his outfits
