First Newspaper
The first real newspaper established
in the new territory was, of course, the
Montana Post. John Buchanan, who
brought a modest printing plant with
him across the plains by OK team, pub
lished the first issue of the Post, q
weekly, IN Aug. 81. 1864. Its subscrip-
ton price was So per year and single
copies sold for so cents. Buchanan pub
lished two issues, when Ben Tilton, a
youth of "a who had come from New
York to Virginia City to establish a
book and stationery shop, bought
Buchanan's printing plant and news
paper, paying him $1,000 in gold for an
outfit which was worth probably $500.
Tilton was a good business man and
under his management the Post pros
pered exceedingly, although he had to
pay his printers around 500 per week
in gold and all other expenditures were
high. Among the distinguished men
who helped edit the Post were Col. Will

A few weeks following the dis
covery of gold in GraSshOpper
Creek (Bannack) a printer with a
small army press and a shirt tail
full of type appeared in Bannack,
unlOaded his outfit, and announced
that he had come to the new gold
fields to establish the first news
paper in the territory, which was
then Idaho. He Immediately pro-
ceeded to get out his first and only
issue of the Bannack Newsletter,
a small poster size sheet. In this
work he was assisted by Col. Will
bur F. Sanders, who wrote the Salu-
tatory and several other editorials.
Stampede Follows
A few days after the publication OF
the initial issue of the Bannack News
came the news of the phenom-

his friends IN Alder Gulch where gold
had been found in superabundance
thereafter occurred the
Virginia City stampede, one of the
most notable gold rushes in what is
now Montana and which was partici-

mentS presented yesterday morn

dent Of the Washington Consum-

second vice president Of the coun-

Both reports point out that pro-
ducers and consumers are being
squeezed by distributors whose big
margins force low prices to the
producers and high prices to the
consumers.
Boyd said yesterday afternoon
he would demand a survey by the
Agriculture Departments dairy
section concerning actual feed
conditions, and then another hear
ing on whether price rise is jus.
tifiable. If this justification were
not found, he said, the council
would ask Congress to commit the

New Runway Prepared
The development, on land south
of the original Boiling Field
bought by the Government about
five years ago, has resulted in a
new runway 1000 feet in length,
augmenting the regular Boiling
Field runway of 1000 feet. 1t was
built of a special Stag composition
anchored on asphalt.
The runway is porous and self
draining and serves as a drainage
system for the entire new landing
field, which, as a further improve
ment, has been raised IL feet above
flood level on the average, in
order that the floods will not again
cripple air traffic at the field.
Other features, contemplated II
new funds are made available,
are machine shops, new and larger
hangers, laboratories and addi-
tional quarters for both officers
and men.
The workers, who will be at.
fected by the shutdown Of funds
expected next week, for the most
part have been employed on a
security wage" of $45 per month.
Although 1000 has been the maxi
mum force so far, the Quartermas-
ter's office believes that if suffi-
Gent money is made available for
the completion of the project an

most atrocious defense that ever
saddened the hearts Of pitcher,
manager or observer.
Newsom worked 81 innings, al
lowed "a hits and 18 earned runs.
He, too, got none Of the best Of de-
fense. DeShong pitched one 9
inning game and won it. Twice he
was taken out, babbling of his
childhood. Cascarella won 2
games, one in relieving DeShong,
and once on his own. Weaver
pitched two good games to an even
break, allowing IA hits in II in
nings. DeShong allowed 10 hits
in Is innings, and Cascarella al
lowed % hits in 20 innings.
Including yesterdays game,
Pete Appleton pitched three times,
going a total of 20 innings. Apple
ton was hit for % hits, including
three triples and two home runs.
Goslin propelled one of these walk
around cloutS yesterday. Camp
bell got one in Cleveland. sgd
Cohen worked twice, going four
innings and showing nothing. He
was nudged for five singles, 4
doubles, triple and a home run.
BY far the outstanding pitching
feats of the trip were performed
by Professor Monte Weaver, Pete
Appleton and Earl Whitehill.
Weaver's four-hit victory over the
Browns was mastery. Whitehill's
defeat in IL innings by the White
Sox by a score of 3 to 2 was pa
thetic.
Appleton Steady
Appleton'S work against the
Tigers yesterday was steady, and
at times brilliant. In many of its
aspects, that battle of Navin Field
before o Sunday crowd of 10000
will stand as the high water mark
of the trip in keen, steady and
cap BILE baseball. The defense re-
PEELED Tiger thrusts that included
double steals and hit and run
plays. The Griffs attack included
q double steal that only the deft-
ness of Charley Gehringer frus-
trated. In the end, however, the
persistency Of the Washington at
tack told, and three runs in the
ninth inning won the game. Jess
Hill emerged from the welter Of

team ahead, and then to insure
