was shipped from Helena to arrive
safely at its destination in Fort Ben
ton. The stage coach drivers, freighters
and pony express riders had to be de-
pendaole, courageous, quick Jnlnklng
and quick acting men, sensible to their
heavy responsibilities. The freight
business inevitably enlarged and pros
pered. Miners were taxed five percent
of the value Of their shipment to trans
port 1t to the states. Some freighters,
in the beginning, demanded and re-
ceived 10 cents pound In gold for
transportation charges. In 1857 Mr.. A.
x. Mcclure wrote: Just now the ter
ritory is drained of one million in
greenhacks to pay freights."
During the years between 1850 and
1867 Montana had taken q long stride.
The vast wilderness, where once camel
trains had been deemed feasible, was
now interSperSed with stage coaches.
The Indian menace had been rendered
inconSequential. The road agent peril
was in way of being conquered. Mail,
passengers, gold dust, clothing and
food we're being transported with COM
parative ease. Hon. Martin Maginnis
writes of conditions in the territory in
1866:
I'm Helena and all the contiguous
camps we found Seh-centered world.
Prices high. Living expensive. But gold
coming out of sluice boxes and all
went merrily on. Plenty Of flour, groc-
cries and dry goods, the best whisky,
the costliest wines. Towns were builded,
homes erected, industries begun, schools
and churches reared"
But Montana, ever reaching out its
tentacles toward further progress, was
not satisfied. Her first dream of stage
coach trails having been realized, she
wanted a railroad, and this dream also
reached fruition. In 1877 the Utah
Northern, with Sidney Dillon president,
approached from the south, extending
into Montana via Snake River valley
toward the proposed Northern Pacific.
The Utah Northern was the first rail-
way into Montana. But the Northern
Pacific was the first to cross the ter
ritory from east to west, following a
trail approximately close to that bIazed
by Lewis and Clark.
And so the history Of Montana is
largely the history of pioneers OF trans
portation, from Manuel Martin with
his wagon, down through the era of
Butterfield, Holiday, Warfield and

MONTANA YOUTH
PLANE BUILDER
EDWARD LUND, KALISPELL, SUP
ERVISES CONSTRUCTION FOR
NOTED Filler

Back In lSZz, modest Edward
Lund was a student In FIathead
County high school dreaming about
airpIaneS Yesterday he returned for
a visit with his parents, MIR. and
Mrs Carl Lund, who stiu live on
a farm in the Saltwater district.
He is now chief mechanic and super
intendent Of construction for Howard
Hughes, famous millionaire sportsman,
movie producer and holder Of the coast
forecast flight record.
His story is that Of a young man
who knew what he wanted and went
after it. In 1928, at the age of II,
he went to Santa Monica Calf. There
he became a persistent applicant for
a Job at Dover field. Daily he asked,
daily he was turned away, until finally
his insistence won him some trifling
assignments. He applied himself with
such energy that he was soon working
on motors.
Studies Plane Design
Before long the experiences born Of
aptitude and hard study attracted the
attention of pilots. Not content with
being a mechanic, he studied plane de-
sign. Three years ago Mr.. Hughes made
him an attractive offer. Lund calls it
luck.
On Jan. IS, 1885, MIR. Hughes knocked
90 OH tAAC COetob-IO-COtAoL ACS~
ord when he flew from Los Angeles to
New York In hours and 81 minutes
Then he had a new ship built under
the supervision Of Lund and in Febru-
airy Of this year slashed his own record
by making the flight In z hours and %
minutes
Builds World Flight Machine
Last year Lund supervised the con-
struction of another ship in which his
employer plans a round-the-world
flight. When he goes 1t is not improb-
able that Lund will be with him. Mr..
Hughes is soon to have a special plane
constructed in the Sikorsky plant at
Bridgeport, Conn.
Lund left Kalispeu a few days ago
for Florida to meet his employer. From
Florida they returned to New York
where Lund will remain, handy to
Bridgeport, until the new ship is COM
pleted.
