The Spirit of Discovery

On October IL, America cele-
brates Columbus Day, in memory
of the great discoverer who first
revealed the existence of America.
We may think that the age of dis
covery is past, that the unknown
portions OF the globe have prac-
tically all been explored, so that
there is nothing OF importance left
discover.
The spirit Of discovery, how
ever. Is something that should
never be allowed to die. Il should
be felt In cur daily life, and In
the fields of government and 30
esal we1fRre.

Pride of ancestry

Honoring of parents or other
worthy forbears is most com.
mendable, but the extremes to
which some people carry their
pride of ancestry is somewhat
amusing.
We see many worthless off.
spring from high-class parentage,
while on the other hand many
persons born in obscurity have
made notable successes in life.
The divine right of kings was
founded on ancestry, usually be-
ginning with some political or
military upstart. The American
400" was founded on the wealth
OF shrewd, uncouth traders and
schemers of the early days.
While the fetish of ancestry
is still worshipped by many, it
is becoming out of date and now
adays a man must amount to
something in his own right if he
would be held in high esteem.
AS a recent writer has well
said: Humanity's sense of JUS
tice would be outraged If descend
ants of criminal Justly hanged,
say, three hundred years ago,
should still lie under the infamy
of that ancestor. Why, then.
should glory attach to the worth.

1t is certainly more creditable
to have overcome the handicap of
early disadvantages than to try
to travel" solely on the prestige
OF worthy family connections.

Is natural and proper, but its dis

Spying On Housewives
Several newspapers have COM
mented recently on the so-called
Green River anti-peddling ordi-
nance. A provision of this ordi-
nance has been proposed in d
number of municipalities is that
no salesman may call at the
home of a prospective customer
without an invitation.
At first glance this might ap-
pear to be a reasonable measure
designed to keep Objectionable
persons from annoying house
wives. But its terms are so broad
as to affect everyone without ex-
ception.
1t would make lawbreakers of
little girl selling her fudge, a
boy with his magazines. farmer
with his produce, a subscription
solicitor for home town news
paper, a local widow taking or
ders for hosiery and the like, and
many other persons engaged in
a worthy pursuit.
In vetoing such an ordinance,
an Ohio mayor recently declared
it would give any vengeful neigh
Dor pretext to spy on the
housewives in the vicinity, and
that its provisions could not be
enforced with justice. He there
fore properly refused to permit
the city's statute books to be
cluttered up with such rubbish.

This action followed testimony
Of Inspector B. s. Lambe, that he

such charges are submitted to the
Corporation Counsel's office as to
whether the charges are a basis
for prosecution.

an old Hudson's Bay Co. post They
forded the Snake a few miles above
there and followed 1t to where Idaho
Falls is now located.
From there they turned north past
Market lake to Medicine Lodge creek
and followed an Indian trail along that
stream to the summit Of the Rocky
without trouble and followed what
Woody afterwards thought must have
been o branch Of Red Rock creek in
Beaverhead county. They entered what
is now Montana about Oct. !, 1856.
They then crossed Horse Prairie and
Big Hole prairie and followed what
Judge Woody years later thought must
have been Trail creek to the continent
tai divide, which they crossed at what
is now called Gibbons pass, to come
down into Ross hole, In the extreme
upper end of Ravaln county
Coming down the mountain into Ross
hole there was no road but an Indian
trail which In places was very steep.
Making the descent they not only had
to rough lock the wagons, but hitch
two yoke of cattle to the rear end of
each wagon with a man at their heads
with q club to make them pull back.
Even then they came down the hill at
breakneck speed, but fortunately with
out wrecking the wagons. Two or three
lightly loaded wagons had followed
that road into the country In the fall
Of 1855, guided by Emanuel Martin, q
Mexican trapper, but they were much
more easily handled than the heavily
loaded wagons which Judge Woody
accompanied.
From Ross hole the wagons had to
detour and cross another mountain,
which brought them into the Bitter
Root valley. Where Corvallis Is now
located there were several log cabins
which had been erected by q part Of
the Mullan expedition which wlntered
there in 1853-54. The place was then
called Willow Creek and there they
found man named Henry Brooks, who
had charge of q number Of horses and
cattle running In the valley and which
belonged TO man named Nell Nc
Arthur.
Next they came TO Fort Owen. the
site of the present Stevensville where
MAI. John Owen ran q trading post. !
They arrived at Hell Gate river on
Oct. Is. Thus came TO Montana one OF
its earliest white residents who later
became one Of its leading citizens.
