After the Vigilantes of Virginia
City had banished Moore and
Reeves, members of the Plummer
band of bandits against whom
there was no direct evidence, the
two robbers went TO Deer Lodge
valley TO make for themselves a
permanent camp. Colonel Broad
water and Judge w. Y. Pemberton,
then young men who had only re-
Gently arrived in the territory of
Montana, had selected this spot as
a TOWNSHIP, out of which they ex-
pected to make their fortunes. They
were plating the ground when the
exiles arrived. 1t was in February
and very cold.
Moore and Reeves put up a miserable
wickyup which afforded them but
little protection from the wintry
blasts. They had no food except beef
and coffee. Moore fell sick and would
have died but for the care of Broad
water, who took him to his comfortable
cabin and nursed him back to health.
About this time a messenger came from
Bannack with the news that the min
ers had revoked the sentence of BAN
Ishment against the men, and they
we're at liberty to return. The In
dams had stolen Moore's horse and

time steady the buggy to keep 1t from

in front Of him holding a revolver in
each hand.

exclaimed
Although he thought the man was
a road agent, the minister was sur

look much like turnpike to him.

The minister did not confine himself
TO church activities alone, but took an
energetic part IN community affairs
He assisted In organizing a library as
ISOLATION which proposed to maintain
supply Of books and magazines and
a free reading room. Soon after arriv-
ing he was joined by his family. Mrs.
Shuart proved no less interested In the
advancement Of the community than
her husband. After her spouse had
been appointed county superintendent
Of schools to fill a vacancy, and had
completed his term, she was elected
county superintendent, the second per-
son elected to that office in the coun-
ty, Custer, at that time Their daughter,
Clara, was for several years 3 teacher
in the Billings schools
Frederick Billings was so impressed
with the energy and ability of Mr.
Shuart that in 1888 he prevailed upon
him to take charge of his land interests
in that section. Billings had several
ranches in addition to a substantial
interest in the townsite company. In
November, 1888, a minister having been
obtained to take Mr. Shuarts place.
he left the church he had built to en-
gage in secular pursuits.
While looking after the Billings prop
critics, Mr.. Shuart purchased a farm
in the western part of the county and
engaged in farming on his own ac-
count. He built bitches and started to
irrigate the place. which he called the
"Hesper" farm, HeSper being the class
ical name for the west.
Established First Dairy
MFR. Shuart established q dairy and
was the first farmer in the valley to
produce butter on q commercial scale,
finding ready market in Billings for
all that he could manufacture. The
HeSper farm was sold In 1887 to l. ..
ODonnell of Billings, and under his
direction and management became
noted over the whole Of Montana as
a model irrigated farm.
While Mr.. Shuart was pastor In Bill
lings, his services we're frequently In
demand to conduct burial services. He
officiated at most Of the funerals at
Boothill, Billings first cemetery, which
was started, it has been told, when
somebody called a cowboy liar He Of
ficiated at the funeral of William
Preston, killed by his former partner,
Dan Leary He said the last rites for
Taylor, the first officer killed
In Billings In an effort to maintain
order; for Judge Fawkes, and for many
lesser lights who met violent death
In the new settlement.
The Shuart family remained in Bill
ings until 1892, when MFR. Shuart went

quarters and study.
Knew Pioneers and Their Ways
The little church prospered The
Rev. Mr.. Shuart had been a mission
airy in Kansas and In North Dakota be-
fore coming to Montana and knew the
problems he would have to face and
the best methods for solving them.
He knew pioneers and their ways
and was not even deferred by con-
tact with the bad men" of the old
west. His presence of mind under try
ing circumstances is indicated by an
incident that occurred during his trip
from Miles City. to CoulSon in his one
horse buggy upon his arrival in the
country.
At one point along the road he was

But the parson didn't go Whether
/ he attended the performance Of the
/ ventriloquist the evening Of his arrival
I in Coulson, or whether the ventrilo-
quist arrived and held a show, has
never been told. But the Rev. Mr.. Shu-
art sold himself to the populations of
Coulson and Billings and of the sur
rounding country and remained to
found a church within short time,
and to become a popular, useful and
much loved citizen Of southeastern
Montana.
He found among the men who had
come from the east and middle west
to establish the new town Of Billings,
many ready and willing to welcome, the
civilizing Influences of the church.
They were bringing their families into
the country, some OF them were plan
ming on bringing brides to the new
town as soon as they could get estab-
lished, and appreciated the need for
a church which did not appeal to the
Coulson loungers.
The first service the Rev. Mr.. Shu-
art conducted was held in a room
which H. Clark, head of the Billings
townsite company was completing for
a bank It was well attended. Impelled
by the enthusiasm of the missionary,
a small group formed to organize a
church Col Lucius Whitney. Billings
first postmaster, Edgar B. Camp and
A. Fraser were the trustees Of the new
institution.
At that first meeting, held May "a,
1882, there were about IS persons pres
ent. Seats were provided by placing
planks on nail kegs. In the congrega-
ton was Col H w Rowley, afterwards
treasurer of the church and for many
years one of the most prominent men
in Billings and in Montana. An organ
was obtained from some place, and
was played by Miss Rose Camp.
Sufficient money was raised to be- /

In the spring of 1882 the Rev.
BENJAMIN r. Shuart, assistant pas
tor Of the Plymouth Congregational
church OF Minneapolis, was sent to
the little town Of COulson, and TO
Billings, its new neighb0r at that
time, to do missionary work and
establish q church He came TO
Miles City on the Northern Pacific
railroad. That was the end Of the
line, and there he purchased a
horse and buggy and proceeded ON
his way, buying an outfit rather
than travelling by stage because he
expected to have use for 1t when he
reached his destination
Arrived at Coulson he received a
warm welcome. The Rev Mr.. Shuart, 9
man of prominent features and trim
aspect, was wearing long coat and
a style Of clothing strange to the resi-
dents of CoulSon.
As the one horse rig drove up and
stopped at the livery stable the livery
man hustled out to take charge OF 1t.
AS the traveller alighted, the hotel keep
er and several IoitererS who had seen
him drive into town, came briskly up
and welcomed him warmly.
We'll you'll have big crowd to-
night" one of them volunteered.
The Rev. Mr. Shuart seemed sur
prised, but looked pleased, it is record
ed. why, I didn't know that anyone
knew I was coming" he said.
Sure" came the reply, the stage
driver had one Of your hand bills.
Wen all be there to see the show"
"Show?" he queried Why am
not giving show. I am a preacher. I
have come here to establish a church. I"
The Rev. Mr.. Shuart himself after
wards admitted that the reception
committee was rendered speeches. by
his announcement, and that the looks
turned upon him were those Of mingled
disgust and disappointment.
Mistaken for VentrilOquist
He was then informed that a travel
ing ventriloquist was expected there the
same day to give a show in the eve
ming and the whole town was looking
forward to the entertainment with the
greatest pleasure. So keen was the
disappointment of some of those pres
ent, It was afterwards related by old
timers who told the story with gusto,
that one shaggy haired individual
beckoned the stranger to come into
the middle of the street.

In a recent publication is sued and distributed by the Alaska Steam hlp Com

 faE O. Iaets concerning the value of Alaska to the com
 mefcjaI and industrial life oI Seattle with which every business man of this com
 mmity should be familiar. We have for many years been preaching on this sub Ject but We're none the less surprised at this statement, Fl is particularly interest ing to note that during 1884 shipments from Seattle to Alaska were $2, 100000 greater in value than Seat ties exports to the rest of the world put together
 That is rather nice busi- ness-inVolVing no fluctua tons of foreign exchange, no special export depart ment, no hazard of Oriental warfare nor any of the oth- CT risks and difficulties of the foreign export market. II is as easy for the Seattle merchant to make a ship ment to Alaska as it is for him to send the same mer- chandise to Port Angeles. Alaska With it's natural re sources merely scratched, with less than 35,000 perm anent population bought over $35,000,000 worth of commodities last year. No more important task con fronts the forward looking people of this city than the active encouragement of the industrial life of Alas ka. A permanent popula- ton of 100, ,000 people in Al aska employed in the devel opment and exploitation of the natural wealth of the territory would mean an annual sale of $l00,000,000 by the merchants and man ufacturers of this city 10 the empire of the north and that would be but a small start.-EXehange.
