COLD WINTER FOR
STATE FORESEEN
CONDITIONS ARE UNUSUAL SINCE
EARTHQUAKES SHOOK
CAPITAL CITY
Last "a Months Has Put Out Coolest
Winter, Hottest Summer, Driest
Spring and Wettest Fail; What
Next.

M0ntanans, during the last "a
months, have experienced the cold
est winter, hottest summer, driest
spring and wettest fall In the
states history. So, residents OF the
Treasure state In whose lives the
weather Is q vital factor--among
them w. e. Vaughan, mete0rOIO-
giSt in charge Of the United States
weather bureau In HeIena--are
wondering what's in store for them
at the conclusion Of the present
Indian summer"
If the weather mans" antics Of the
last two winters are to be taken as an
indication of what is to come, perhaps
another coolest winter viii take its
place on the record books.
A majority of the "all-time" seasonal
records for warmth, cold, moisture and
drouth have been made in the Treasure
state since the start Of the 1905, many
OF them during the last two years.
Residents of the state, who take such
things as a seasonal temperature
range Of 40 degrees-from Sc degrees
below to ia degrees aboVe-in stride,
were, until 1885, of the opinion the
hard winters Of the good old days
were of the past.
Then, following the earthquakes of
1885, the whole weather machine"
seemed ''out of kilter."
Treasure state residents were slugged
with the coolest winter in history. The
mean temperature for the state as
whole for February, 1886, was 10 Of I
iegree below zero.
The months Of June, July and
August, 1885, proved the hottest sum-
ner ever recorded in the state, with /
IN average temperature of 68.6 degrees.
Then came the winter of 1861 and
he cold records chalked up the pre-
iouS year went by the boards.
During January, 1887, the average
was 40 Of a degree below
gro, and the season average (Decem-
er, January and February was 1873
egrees, IL degrees below the previous
ecord.
The 1887 spring was far later, far
older, and the driest on Montana's
ecord. Precipitation for the season,
1arch, April and May, totaled only
&c inches, which was incidentally,
list go of an inch less than the 2.86
lches which fell in one 24-hour period
/ Helena during August, 1888.
And still the cratic weather man
MT through writing new records. The
resent fall may not go down as the
etteSt in history. but in some areas
the state it will be hard-presSed to
void setting new record.
Cooperative weather station records

with papers of any kind, so that he
would have credentials to convince the
Indians that he was speaking for the
/ Great White Father at Washington in
his councils with them
Camped at MissOula
The first Indians they met were
members of the Palouse tribe, with
whom they traded some, and who
warned them not to go east of the
mountains as the Indians there would
give them trouble. At the Spokane
river they met more Indians. Hamilton
showed them his big envelope and drew
their attention to the government
brand on his mules The Indians were
as impressed as they would have been
by a regiment OF soldiers. And so he
and Mckay passed on through the
country of the Couer d'Alene Indians
and the st. Joe and Pend Oreille tribes
and camped where AIissoula is To-
Gated.
1t was Hamiltons first trip to that
part Of Montana and he was greatly
impressed by the country and by the
advantages the Missoula site offered
as an Indian trading post because of
the large number of Indian trails that
crossed there. He told his companion,
Mckay. that some day he would re-
turn and open trading post there. /
On Oct. II, they met some Flathead !
Indians and went with them to their
camp on the Blackfoot river. Their /
chief, Victor, and his assistant. Moiese /
were both old friends of Hamilton'S !
These Indians, as had all the others
they had met. wanted to know the +
latest news of the Spokane and Yakima
Indian war. So far they had done little
trading, as they were saving their
goods for the tribes in the buffalo
country where they expected to get the
most of the information they were after
and where. they also hoped to obtain
many good buffalo robes. The Flat
heads were on their way to the buffalo
country on the plains of the Missouri
liver east of the mountains and Ham
ltOn and Mckay travelled with them.
They crossed the main range through
Cadotte's pass on Oct. 16 and camped
N the Dearborn river.
They were now In what the Flatheads
aid was hostile territory, and the In
Iians maintained a constant guard at
heir camp. On Oct. II the party moved |

Hamilton did his first trading of mo-
ment In q short time that night he
traded for 100 buffalo robes and many
dried buffalo tongues. While the trad
ing was going on two River Crow In
dams called at the Piegan camp.
The next day Hamilton and Mckay
and q number OF PieganS returned the
call, visiting the Grow camp. The Crows
told of fighting the Sioux, Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indians, taking many
scalps and stealing many horses. They
displayed two fresh scalpS. Hamilton
told them if they could show a third
scalp, he would give them blanket.
They didn't produce the scalp, but
they did give Hamilton many dirty
looks.
The Crows returned to the Piegan
village to trade with Hamilton and
Mckay. The Crows and PleganS en-
gagged in horse racing, and Mckay
loaned the Piegans his saddle horse,
an exceptionally fast animal, to run
as their own against the Crows best
horse. The Piegans made cleanup
on the race. 1t was while Hamilton
was at the Piegan village that Little
Dog gave him the white mule on which
he later made the famous ride from
Walla Walla to The DaIles.
The whites left the Piegan village on
Oct. "a to go into the Blackfeet coun-
try. They carried with them three
medicine arrows which Little Dog gave
Hamilton, telling him to show them
to the Blackfeet head men. Hamilton,
in recording the events of his trip said
he believed that those arrows saved
them much trouble among the Black !
feet, for although they were attacked

When the sweat covered horses now
under q mechanical lope pass the con-
cealed roper, he springs out, picking

the badland horses is shown. Although
they have perhaps been running for

new burst OF speed Is remarkable.
When the roper takes after one,
that horse runs for the timber and

tremely hazardous. The roper may get
his horse in 100 yards or he may run
him q mile and a half and he may
come back with an empty loop.

Capturing wild horses with motor

country along the Missouri river south
Of Landusky. Each year regular round

wild horses until only renegades are
To attempt to corral these horses
in the regular fashion Is q waste of

TO overcome.
Here is where the motor truck comes
in. -Four or five riders and their saddle
horses are taken down ridge into the
wild horse country. often 3 bunch is
spotted from the truck and couple
OF riders and horses are unloaded to
jump the horses. In relays riders fog
the wild ones. Knowing they don't
have to ride a tired horse home, they
push their saddle horses to the limit
The wild horses, trim and fit from
occasional chaSes and from runs Of four

as play at first. The leader viii run
up steep bank and stop while the
rest string along. He arches his neck
and, with his tail streaming in the

later while on the trail, they were
not molested while in the Blackfeet
camp. From the Piegan camp they
were accompanied by Fringe, Little
Dogs son, and five other Piegans.
Some of the Blackfeet recognized
Hamilton and asked him if he had
not been on the Big Horn and Green
rivers. He evaded a direct answer to
their questions, for as a matter of fact
he had fought the tribe during their
excursions into those territories sew
eral years before. They traded with the
Blackfeet and when they started to
leave next day the Indians tried to
delay them. Hamilton and Mckay now
had l9 head of stock, IA Of them loaded
with packs.
Leaving the Blackfeet camp both of
the white men mounted their war
horses and turned their saddle mules
with the other stock, so as to be ready
for any emergency. Mckay was riding
the horse which the Piegans had used
to defeat the Crows. Hamilton was
riding Hickory, an animal which
could hear him. Both of the horses

would shake hands with them when
they left and they knew from that that
