to discuss best. AS to baseball, he went
on record that the Baltimore Orioles
and the Boston Nationals of the COS
were as good as any of the modern
day champion clubs. As to politics, he
had a lot so say that I'm not printing.
His one remark that impressed me
about mining was that Butte is still
the greatest mining camp in the world.
First Montana College Team
. The College of Montana, located at
Deer Lodge, was the first institution
Of higher learning in the state to go in
for football. It was in 1893 that Sam
Barker Jr., a Butte boy then, and a
Butte man now, organized the Mon
tanans. For his organizing efforts,
Barker was named manager and elect

ed captain. Two games were played
that year.
Fifteen young men wearing various
costumes that each Individual thought
suitable for the game showed up for
the first practice call.
Barker had several friends in eastern
universities who relayed to him plays
and ideas that became part of the for
mula of attack and defense used by
the Deer Lodgers. Because of his grid
knowledge, Barker automatically be-

When the team layed its first game,
only q handful of spectators could be

vas more or less Greek even to the
players. The game "a described by
a faculty member as too rough as well
as occasioning many debates in loud

A few years later, Montana University
and Montana State college were rep

sport was regarded as a necessary item
to promote athletics and school spirit.

Montanans who saw the motion

perturbation of the life of James
Buchanan Brady. A portion of the
play took place in the bar of the

Marcus Daily built an exact and &C
curate replica of the Hoffman House
bar in the Montana hotel in Ana
conda. DAILY, interested as he was in
all sports, and especially in horse rae
ing, had spent many pleasant hours
in the Hoffman House bar. Therefore
when he decided to spend 5000, 900
building a hotel in Anaconda he re-
solved that he would include a bar
room exactly like that of the eastern
hosiery. He ordered it copied in the
minutest detail.
Today the bar-room which DAILY built
is a cafe, but it is a compliment to
the proprietors that no attempt has
been made to change it. The old Hoff-
city have long since been RACED to make
way for new skyScraperS but its dupli-

LANDMARK STANDS
ANACONDA
OLD HOUSE LOCATED ON FIRST
PLAT EVER FILED ON BY
A WOMAN
By WALTER ED TAYLOR

About five miles east Of the city
of Anaconda and Just q short dis
tance from u. s. highway No. ITO
stands an old house which has the
distinction Of being located ON the
first plat Of ground ever filed on
an was ,Gwenllian Evans and she
had come to Montana from Wales
with her son and daughter-in-law,
MIR. and Mrs. Morgan Evans. In
1863, shortly after her arrival, Mrs.
Evans filed an entry ON 160 acres
of land on Warm Springs creek.
This was the first homestead entry
made by a woman in Montana.
Coming from crowded Wales, Mrs.
for the asking was almost too good to
be true. She lived on her land the
required length Of time and received
q government patent. The place be-
came one of Montana's earliest post
offices under the name of Gwendale.
The present house on this ~67-year-old
property was begun in 1880 but be-
oped at the time and materials were
SO slow in arriving. it was not COM
pleted until 1883. Materials for this old
ouS came from many sources. The
bricks were shipped from a brickyard
IN Salt Lake City, a product of the in
ouSIIldi regime OF Young. The
rough lumber was cut at q sawmill
erected in the foothills a few miles from
the home. Other lumber was shipped
from the east. The great double en-
trance doors and the interior doors
and staircases of walnut were the work
OF a master woodworker and cabinet
maker of New England. At present the
house is occupied by Miss Mary Evans,
herself a Montana pioneer and grand
daughter Of the woman who first
filed upon the land. Everything in the
house has been perfectly preserved
and many of the original carpets re-
main on the floors after more than SO
years OF use. The original curtains
drape- the tall windows of its 16 rooms.
Quaint, plush-covered furniture sits
primly in the drawing room and in the
music room stands the old square
piano. Sixteen-foot wall mirrors are a
part OF the decoration of this pictur-
esque residence. Some of the furnish
tngs are valuable antiques and about
the rooms are curios which have been
brought to the house from the four
corners Of the earth by members of
the Evans family. Some of the articles
IN the house are intimately connected
with the romantic pioneer days of the
city OF Anaconda and Of Deer Lodge
county. There is a story in every brick
and board of this old house for past

crossing-too far to hit a car that
needs to travel only a few score feet
to cross the track.

through the aperture "19'-the one
nearest the track-into an enclosure
with a circular wall marked "12." The

train will have passed and the gate
will be again open.
The lines marked "18" denote a wall

A FINE EDITION

The Hendersonvle Times-News has achieved a
highly useful job in community publicity in its sew
enth annual Chamber of Commerce edition. Gen
erousy illustrated with pictures, attractive in form
and impressive in editorial content, the edition de-
serves the widest possible circulation Judiciously
and extensively distributed, it should produce gen
uine results in summer tourist patronage for Hen
jacksonville and Henderson county.
Western North Carolina-every section of it
needs every device of publicity which be util-
lied at this time. One of the unhappy consequences
of the depression was the necessity which every
community faced of curtailing its advertising eff
forts. In all too many instances, this meant vir-
tual abandonment of all community advertising of
a concerted type.
Thanks to universally recognized Improvement
in business conditions, the American people are in
a better financial position to take real vacations
this summer than they have been at any time since
the crash of the stock market presaged the long
depression. Summer resorts that go vigorously af-
ter patronage will command it. This is particular
ly true of Western North Carolina.
The Hendersonvie Times-News merits high
praise for the progressive job in community serv-
ice which it has so competently rendered. Equally
deserving of commentator is the courageous and
cooperative spirit of the business leadership of
Hendersonve which with its support made such
venture possible.-Asheville Citizen.

1T is A FACT

The worst thing about our two
party type of government in our
municipalities is that the men,
bers of the minority party are viz
tually disfranchised. So far as
their taking part in local govern
mental affairs is concerned, their
citizenship might as well be in the
FIJI Islands.
And the rank and file of the
dominant party take little interest
in their local government. They
know that everything is all cut
and dried by their party leaders,
and that it is not necessary for
them even to vote; for if the
party rulers should find that the
organized political job holders
cannot muster enough votes to
swing the election, they will buy
it or steal it.
The foregoing statement an
swers the inquiry Of an Illinois
reader who wants to know why
half the people entitled TO vote,
fail to vote. They simply arc not
interested. And that suits the
politicians !ine. The less interest
the people take in government,
the better for the politicians.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
TIME FOR ACTION

II is interesting as well as highly gratifying to
the taxpayers of the nation, to note that Harry l.
HOPKINS, WPA administrator, is planning to with
draw this summer from ablebodied men who re-
fuse priyate employment as farm hands in the ag-
ricutural states all federal aid that they have been
receiving. q, : Ia
8! Tn connection with the Hopkins statement it is
recalled; that complaints were numerous in many
states last year where farmers had difficulty in OBJ
tanning sufficient laborers to aid in cultivating
their farms and then in gathering their crops dur
ing the harvest season.
The reason was plain. Too many ablebodied citi-
zens decided they had rather swing on to the fed
eral sugar teat than earn an honest living in pri-
yate employment. The situation was acute in the
Middle West, and although less acute in this part
of the country we had evidences of this very same
condition in Anderson and other counties of the
state. More than one farmer complained of being
unable to employ enough laborers to assist with his
earm work These columns cited a number of in
stances of this kind in Anderson county which
were reported on cnimpeachable authority.
The national situation bids fair to become seri-
ous again. The farmers of North Dakota, for ex-
ample complain that they are unable to compete
with the wages; hours and type of labor offered
on the works progress and resettlement projects.
This condition is not confined to North Dakota,
nor will it be if the federal government continues
its present system without regard to the welfare
of the farmer who has employment to offer.
Federal aid should be withdrawn from every
ablebodied man who is offered bona ide job, and
until this is done and done without exception, a
great many of our citizens will continue to turn
up their noses at private Observation-Disclosures
