With the metamOrpnOSlS OF tne FupiiC faeaitii
Service has come clariflcation of its scope OF
activities coincident with the appearance on
the scene of Dr. Thomas Parran, newly appointed
surgeon general Its function is as described by
Dr. Parran in a recent interview Ito raise the
health level of the American people by all means
within its power" 1t is the physician to the
Nation AS a-whole-America's 125,000,000 in
dividuals considered as unit
This is a relatively new concept, DR.. Parran
points out For generations the physician. and
the magician before him, considered disease as a
problem of the Individual Medical practice was
almost solely concerned with the individual. In
fact, for good part of human history. the
'people- as a whole" were not considered worth
bothering about But more and more it has be-
come evident that the people are subjected to
mass attack demanding-for the safety Of in
diyiduals If for nothing elsa mass resistance.
Hence has arose the science of epidemiology
The Public Health Service says DR.. Parran, has
largely developed its own science. somewhat con-
fusedly at first Epidemiology is less than 80
years old It started, he points out. here In the
District of Columbia in 1908 with study con-
Quoted by the Public Health Service to determine
the causes of the high typhoid fever rate. Some
of the principles established at that time pro-
yided the technique for all future work along this
line which has been carried on the world over.
The science still is in its infancy. 1t is. as
the mass" or-from its Greek dervation-disease
among the people. Popularity it is supposed to
deal primarily with the so-caled epidemic disee SIS,
like encephaltis or influenza. Actually any kind
of maady forms part Of its subject matter whether
or not It is transmittable from person to person,
so long as it has any kind of distribution among
the populace.
It is concerned primarily with the special and
temporal distribution Of disease In the past,
it is true, only the communicable maladies have
been reported The result has been a great
paucity of knowledge concerning the actual health
conditions Of the American people. The best data
available at present result from an intensive study
by the Public Health Service of the health con-
ditions of the small city of Hagerstown. Md. This
is used the world over. When former Surgeon
General Hugh S. Cumming visited Germany
recently he found the Public Health Service
publications on the Hagerstown survey quoted in
that country as the best available means Of
estimating health conditions In Central Europe.
The new science will be placed far more firmly

Empire - particularly certain rigid,

200 white and rs halfbreeds. At pres
ent there are not is white men outside
of Fort Benton. AS territorial Off
Ger I heartily recommend that a force
be sent here sufficiently strong to put
an end to all Indian troubles. for I'M
til then this part of the territory re-
mains a blank"
The short letter from the sheriff to
General Meagher presents an excellent
picture of conditions at Fort Benton
In the middle sixties. The Indians had
the upper hand and people of the fort
dared not venture out. General
Meagher had a glorious military record
and 1t was the hope Of the settlers that
he would put an end TO Indian troubles.
He might have. had he not met sud-
den death so soon.
A glance through the Meagher letters
also reveals that the title of notary
public" was very much sought after in
the sixties. Countless letters of appli-
cation for the title reached General
Meagher The office was profitable IN
those days when many legal papers
were being written as settlers took land
and miners made legal their mining
claims. For affixing his stamp to a
legal document the notary received q
goodly sum.
Laws Unknown to Law Enforcers
The chaotic condition OF the territory
of Montana government in the early
years of it's existence is shown in p
letter written to General Meagher from
Missoula Mills In 1867. The letter came
from Frank Fl. Woody, county clerk Of
Missoula county and said, in part; II
am instructed by our board of COM
missioners to make application to you
for laws OF the third session OF the
legislature of Montana. You viii please
forward per Oliver az Co, express, the
number of copies due our county and
take receipt for same. Also. we received
but eight copies of the laws Of the sec
ond session, which number is not ade-
Quate for our needs. We see by the pa
pers of the day that you have ordered
90 copies of the laws Of the Bannack
or first legislature TO be forwarded ex-
press. II you get them we hope you
viii remember us In the distribution
as we are entirely benighted here in
regard to the laws Of the territory"
The county commissioners OF Mis-
sosIla county were indeed in q muddle.
They had been appointed TO administer
the law but they did not know what
the laws werei Thus does the his
tory and the tr1le picture of Montana
OF The fabulous sixties shine through
the letters received IN the routine OF
business i'm the office OF one Of Nom
taxa's first governors.

from many sources, are a part of
the Montana collection In the state
historical library. Some are torn
and all are yelH0wed with age but
they are sim legible.
I Several Of the letters show the intense
I interest in Montana which prevailed in
I the east at the time. Prospective set
/ tiers were anxious to know about the
country so they wrote letters to find
out. General Meagl1er had come to
Montana after a brilliant performance
as leader Of the Irish Brigade" In the
Civil war, and so he received many let
tiers from former comrades inquiring
about conditions To the men Of his
command Meagher had been beloved

1t is interesting to ponder what an

pamphlets on the possibilities and the
scenic delights of the territory. But
Meagher was q busy man and 1t is
doubtful whether he was ever able to
answer all the requests for information
he received. AS for newspapers there
was only one, very small one at that.
A Simple Change Of Heart
At the time Meagher probably knew
as much about the eventual permanent
location of the seat of government"
as the prospective settler did for Off
cials could not decide whether to stay
in Bannack or go to Virginia City.
When Meagher became acting governor
after Governor Edgerton left for the
east he promptly stuffed the official
papers of the territory into two pockets
of his great coat and moved to Vir-
ginia City. In this simple manner did
the first government of Montana
change its seat.
The Fame Of the VigiIantes
All the letters in the Meagher COLI
lection at the historical library are not
from prospective settlers Some Of them
deal with weighty matters of state.
From 76 East 26th Street, New York
city. came the following letter on March
81, 1857:
MY Dear General:

EDWARD BOYLE.
Already the news Of the activities OF
the Vigilantes had spread TO the east
and Boyle. the writer OF the letter, 1elt
that his friend Dodge might fa1l into
their hands. Whether Meagher ever
received the letter cannot be told for
mails were slow in those days and not
many weeks after the letter was written
the general was drowned In the Mis-
souri, river at Fort Benton.
Shortly before his death General
BKeagher started a campaign against
fine indians for which many settlers
IN the territory volunteered their serv-
ices. A letter from Virginia City at the
time said:
