BLATZ BEER SALES
LARGEST IN HISTORY

I'VE believe in newspaper adver-
tising," says Hal Johnson, advertis-
ing manager Of the Blatz Brewing
Co.. Milwaukee, Wis.
The Plentywood Herald is one of
the papers selected by this company
for their 1897 campaign.
1t is one of the most aggressive
and outstanding newspaper cam
paigns on beer appearing locally and
throughout the country.
The product advertised is Blatz
Milwaukee Beer, distributed locally
by the Northern Creamery Co.,
Glasgow.
1t is said that this is one of the
largest newspaper schedules on
beer that has eve been released in
this country-prior to prohibition
and since repeal.
Last year." according to Mr.. Hal
Johnson, advertising manager of the
Blatz Brewing company, Milwaukee,
"Blatz enjoyed the largest sales vol
ton Of beverages. We attribute this
ume in all of its Sc years in produc-
success to two things-the very en-
cellence Of Blatz Milwaukee beer
and the fact that people like it, and
repeat their purchases-plus the lib
eral use Of newspaper advertising.
80 general has been the acceptance
of Blatz Milwaukee beer in every
market where II was available, that
Blatz has earnde the title the beer
OF the year. And now. Blatz is re-
peating last years record-and sales
continue to increase by leaps and
bounds. Last fall we began a build
ing program-making additions to
the brewery which will increase IL
capacity for 1887 by over 800, 900
barrels. - ---
"Eiatz dealers are alrca " insured
an even larger sales solume and
great profits than they have had be-
fore. but to insure the largest pos
sible volume for them we have also
increased u advertising schedule
substantially.
Leading newspapers throughout
the country will carry an unpreced-
ented number of Blatz Milwaukee
beer advertisements in large size
space. We look to set new sales rec
ords in every territory"

winner in this event last year. Best
contests were in the high jump and

against the wind and good throws
were made considering the condi-

ering the earliness of the season.
Culbertson led in points for more

BEAR KILLS FAWN

FORESTERS TO DRIVE HIM
FROM VICTIM

A few days ago, as the force at
the Raven ranger station, ON the
Roosevelt highway No. 2, between
Kalispen and Libby, was eating
dinner, the bleating Of fawn was
heard nearby.
Hubert Beebe, temporary employee,
ran outside to learn what the trouble
was. Behind the shed, not 100 yards
distant from the administrative build
ing, he saw medium sized black bear
chasing a fawn which was not yet
mature enough TO run very fast.
Beebe and other forestry men ran
toward the bear, yelling and waving
sticks, but the beast ignored them, re-
fusing to be turned from bis chase for
Succulent meat
He caught the fawn In few leaps
ripped his fangs into 1t for firm grip,
then raced away with his victim into
the woods. The killing was done in
plain sight of the two foresters during
the noon hour, and the bear was not

II TONS BERRIES
CANNED AT PLANT
INITIAL YEAR OF PROCESSING
HUCKLEBERRIES GOT AWAY
TO GOOD START

KaliSpelPs newest industry, that
of canning huckleberries, got away
to a good start this year, the first
In which the berries have ever been
prOcessed commercially there, ac-
cOrding TO A. r.. johnson. The
plant has shipped $4,000 cans of
the product so far this season.
Directed by Ora Miller, the plant
this year has canned more than II
tons of huckleberries, despite the fact
that the berry season was late this
year and smaller than anticipated.
With orders from many states, the
factory has been unable, at times. to
keep up with the demand. An order
for consignment came from Kansas
City, Mo, recently.
Several orders have been from tour
lists who visited this district, tried some
huckleberry pie, and returned to their
stores, where they made their orders,
Mr.. Johnson said.
The factory itself employs more than
a dozen persons and is a modern, san
itary plant, small, yet efficient.
The berries are collected each day
by a truck, taken to the factory and
thoroughly cleaned before being canned.
Eight employees hand-pick the berries,
after they are washed, as they move
slowly on receiving tray.
After being cleaned and clllled, the
berries are canned, placed in ZOO
degree water, sealed and pressure
cooked. Labels, bearing the Glacier
trademark, are placed on
the cans before they are packed for
shipping

PICTURESQUE old Fort Logan,
Us miles northwest of White
Sulphur Springs, by modern
highway, has much to interest
the traveller who cares to vtSu
alize those l0ng-gone days when In
dams were a real threat. Fort Logan
was established as a military post TO
protect the miners Of Confederate
guIch and old Diamond City, then one
Of the most pOpulOus and richest min
ing camps in Montana. Ranchers were
also beginning TO settle in the Missouri
and Smith river valleys, and to them
the Indians were a constant menace.
Fort Logan was originally called
Camp Baker, when 1t was established
in the spring of 1870. Late in 1869,
through the efforts of Montana repre-
sentatives, the war department ordered
two companies OF troops, about 200
men. to proceed from Fort Shaw on
Sun river and build a new post at the
site which later became Camp Baker.
At about where Sheep creek empties
into Smith river the troops encountered
a severe SnoWstorm and we're obliged
to make camp. They were unable to
move before spring but they then pro-
ceeded to their destination where per-
manent quarters were made.
Named Fort Logan
Baker for several years, it was changed /
to Fort Logan in honor of Capt. William /
Logan after he was killed by Indians |
at the battle of the Big Hole. Fort I
Logan remained permanent post until I
1880 when the troops were moved to /
Fort Maginnis, there being no appar-
ent need for further protection from /
Indians in the Smith river valley.
When the abandonment of Fort
Logan was ordered, sealed bids were
asked for the property which included
buildings and several thousand acres
of land William GaddiS was the sue
cessful bidder and the property has
continued in possession OF the GadolS
family. Charles G.. GaddlS, son OF VIII
liam Gaddis, lives in what was once
officers quarters and with his VIE
operates a large cattle OUTFIT.
The name of William Gaddis is
closely interviewer with MOntana's
early history. He was born in Washing
ton, D. c., and as a young man was a
blacksmith at the navy yard in wash
ington. He was appointed post trader
al Fort Shaw. and when troops were
ordered to Fort Logan he was appointed
post trader there, a position which he
continued to hold until the post was
abandoned Later he engaged IN the
cattle business and served as justice
of the peace from which ne derived
rne BIJle OF lQQEG, d1ll bAAI !
Gaddis continued throughout his life.
4e was married to Margaret Young in
D. c.. in 1873 and tour
children. three daughters and a son
we're born to them, Charles q. Gaools'
,he son, now SO, being the only sur I
,ivor. He was named after Col. ChaIles
). Gilbert commanding officer at Fort I
Logan. Judge Gaddis was known to ms /
saTlv-dav neighbors and friends as an I
man Of high character anu a
