Here's Mr.. COmptOn'S
Here's Mr.. Compton's exposi
ton of his bonu Splans:
"My contribution on How l
Will Spend My Bonus may
have to be blue -penciled in part
in order to be funny. Editors
Note: 1t will, but not for that
reason.
First, I'll order from France
. generous supply Of hungry
and active cOOtieS.
Second, I'll adOrn myself in
an iIl-fitting service uniform
(private size), after first de-
posting said cOOtieS in strategic
pOsitiOnS-around my waist
band, blouse collar, wrapped
leggingS, etc.
WANTS ARMY PACK
"Third, I'll buy myself one Of
those Army packs (pianO Size)
and proceed to fill it up-nOt
forgetting two extra blankets,
an extra pair of hOb-nailed
shoes, several cans of 'cOrned
Willie tent pole and pins, mess
kit, etc, etc.-Oh, yes, one of
those Army great coats and
that garment supposed to shed
rain known AZ an Army 'Slicker.'
Fourth, I would purchase an
old rifle and, equipped with one
of those comfortable nose pinch
ing gas masks, I'd be about ready
to enact a scene from the days
of '18.
Fifth, I'd select a rainy day,
hike until / found a nice muddy
road and then hike and hike
until that pack got water-SOaked
to about twice its original weight;
until my body became hot and
Sweaty; until those cOOtieS began
to do their stuff; until 1 became
so tired 1 could hardly put one
sore foot before the other; until
the pangs of hunger and the
anguish Of thirst got in their
work.
HIRE SOME GANGSTERS
"Then, for good measure, I
would hire some good American
gangsters to take pOtShOts at
me with machine guns, and per-
hapS, if my bonus would permit,
] would hire Uncle Sam to shell
with me poisonous gas so that /
would be compelled to adjust
that mask. To make the scene
more realistic, I'd arrange to
have mutiIated human bodies
Strewn along my path. Editors

1885 Acreage of
Wheat Over 1884

In the fall of 1885 Montana farmers
planted 1,lO4,00O acres of winter wheat
as against 849, 900 acres Of the same
grain in the fall of 1884, an increase
of 80 percent, the United States di-
vision of crop and livestock estimates
reported a few days ago..
Rye crops planted last fall amounted
to 10000 acres, while $4,000 acres were
planted in rye in 1884. This represents
a gain of Is percent.
Montana districts in which spring
grown grains were damaged in 1885
show an increase in the acreage OF
fall sown grains, the report showed.
Crop indications in Montana to Dec.
l were said by crop reporters to be
ga percent of normal in winter wheat,
as compared with 80 percent of normal
a year ago, and in rye 66 percent OF
normal, as compared with 70 percent
a year ago.
This condition was attributed to the
lack of precipitation in the fall of 1885
and the absence of a protective cover
ing of snow on the crops.

First Mining Location i'm
: Silver Bow Was Miss0ula
L0dee Recorded i'm 1864

According to the official records of
Silver Bow county, Transcribed from
those Of Deer Lodge county, the first
mining location in Silver Bow county
was the Missoula lode. It was oiscov-
cred, the record reads, July II, 1864, by
The Missoula Mining Co."
In the early days of this mining dis
more than 200 feet on a location. The
Missoula lode shows that % men took
up locationS-10 east and Is west of
the point of discovery and Tut and
Donnell and A. G. Effort claims Nos.
I and 2 west of the discovery point.
Other locaters were H. A. Hawley, G.
A. HUMPHREYS. William Allison. Thomas

Postlewait, H. H.. Patterson and w. J.
Lawson on the east side, and J. M.

Each of these individuals or partner
ships had 200 feet of ground.
The second location to be recorded
vas the Buffalo, on Aug. 10, 1864, by
Humphries and Allison. H. H. Porter
others located, each of them, 200 feet
on the lode. The Pacific lode, another
Humphries and Allison location, was
made on Aug. 10 but it is the third
location on the records. Joseph Rams
dell, H. H. Porter, Dennis Leary and
George Newkirk also appear as claim
ants to the usual 200 feet.
The fourth location was the Lead
lode. There were only four claimants
HUMPHREYS, Allison, Porter and Leary
The Original lode was located by

nearly a month after the Missoula lode
had been discovered and filed upon
the records show. HUMPHREYS and Al
hSon are the discoveries. There was a
total of IS locaters on the lode. The
list includes Alex Scott, Leary, New
kirk, H. H. and T. c. Porter, H.. Madi-
son and Arson Ford, Butte's first post
master. This is the first appearance Of
Ford'S name on the official records
but it appears frequently later on. In
his day Ford enjoyed the reputation OF
being Butte's premier optimist. In the
midst of the great slump, when houses
were moving from Butte to Silver Bow
Ford stoutly declared that Butte has
not been scratched yet" and predicted
that the town would one day prGve tc
be the richest mining camp in the
on which location work was done-by
some unknown prospector who used elk
horns as drills-was the fifth claim tc
be filed upon.
c. E. Irvine bops up as a mining
man on the Lookout claim filed Sept. Z
1864, by HUMPHREYS and Allison. There
were only five locaterS.
The Rainbow lode was located Oct
is, 1864, by j. H. Leoffler and E. j
Waters. There were 16 participants ir
this location.
Then came the Black Chief, said tc

Murphy, William Graham and Frank

Up to Nov. 10, 1864, a location no.
tice was a most simple paper. It mere
ly certified that on a certain date GER
tain persons had discovered the lode
and that certain other persons were
claimants, with the discoveries, to 200
feet of the lode-the limit for each To-
cater.
But on the date mentioned a new
note made its appearance in location
papers. The d%iscoverer claimed "all
dips, spurs and angleS"-and laid the
foundations for present-day mining
suits, it is averred. The father of the
dip spurs and angles" type of loca-
ton vas w. J. Lawson the discoverer

The Buffalo lode location was some
what unique. Every location had to be
spaced off in 200-feet lengths and num-
bered. The Buffalo lode location shows
no ~"discoverers" no claimants for the
first IS numbers-3,000 feet. Beginning
with No. IS we have the names Of Miles
name is rather indistinct-E. P. Lewis
and j. P. Brown. The claim was located
On Nov. 26, according to the filings
and these five men-although no date
is given In the beginning of the in
strument, the usual place for stating
the location date. But this may have
been an extension on ground already
located. Buffalo lode was the second
location in the district.
The first location outside the i'm
mediate Butte district is the Amazon.
It is described as being located lone
and one-haf miles west of Big Butte"
and was probably the first location in
what came to be known as Burlington.

ANACONDA MAN \
DIES FROM SHO1

Gordon A. Strom, 22-year-old Ana
conda youth, called at the home of his
friends, George and Fred Kortum, and
asked about shells left over from a
hunting trip they had taken together.
While the Kortums were preparing
breakfast in the kitchen, Strom, in an
other room, began playing a guitar.
The Kortums heard a shot and
found Strom on the floor, dead, a bull
let hole in his head.
Coroner Frank Gubbins said he
found an unsigned note on a small pad
in Strom's trousers pocket which read:
Mother, forgive me. It is the best
way out"
No inquest was held.

November Carload Shipments

Carloadings in Montana last Novem-
Der numbered 21,845 as compared with
5000 during the same month in 1884,
according to figures released by j. G,
Bruce, traffic expert for the state rail-
way commission. The abnormally large
shipments of sand and gravel to the
Fort Peck dam and unusually heavy
livestock shipments by the federal gov
eminent account for the larger figure
in 1884.

MOST HONEST MAN
BELIEVED FOUND

GREENVILLE, n. c., March
10.-(UP)-J. }. Stauffcr, local
jewclcr, is fully convinced he has
found Il candidate for the role
of the most honest man in the
world
In March, 1922, ii years ago,
Stauffcr'S roommate, G.. w. Jcn-
kins, became seriously i'll with
double pneumonia. With no in
come he called upon Stauffcr for
financial assistance. A loan OF
$3.50 was made to the sick man.
After recupcrating from his
illness, unable to locate a position
here, Jenkins left this section
without paying back the loan. Re-
Gently Stauffer received a letter
from Oklahoma City, Okla, con-
tanning Jenkins check for $500
to repay "thc loan and as much
of the interest as it would take
care Of" The letter also advised
that he would pay the remaining
interest, estimated by Stauffcr to
be about $3.50 if it was demanded.
