The Kerr hydr0eIectric project
near Poison was dedicated the
other elay with several thousand
spectators, white and red, particle
paking IN the ceremonial. Frank Nj.
Kerr, who came to Montana with a
tool box in 1890, and who through
sheer ability, rose to be president
Of the Montana Power company,
and for whom the new project was
named, was guest Of honor at the
opening OF the gigantic plant with
the construction of which ne mas
had much to do. Many prominent
Rfoufanans, In and out Of official
life. captains of Montana industry,
and In all walks of Life, made the
long tourney to Poison from all
parts of the state, TO DO honor 20
Kerr, the master builder. Included
IN the ceremonial was the unwilling
OF two bronze tablets in comment
grafton of the achievement.
Indians IN gay costumes joined a
throng of Montanans IN naJural
amphitheater near the dam for the
dedicatory ceremonies, and heard lead
ers Of the states industrial and po-
litical life hail Kerr dam as a boon
to both red and white residents.
This is an example OF .wlaI pIlYaCe
enterprise can do in helping Montana
remain in the forefront of the family
of states" declared Gov. Roy Z. ayers.
Governor Ayers also said water
pumped from the reservoir behind the
dam and spread over surrounding farm
land would mean ten dollars per acre
for $4,000 acres" annually
Indian Cooperation
Speaking to Chief Charlo Of the
Selfish and Chief Koostahtah OF the
Kootenai tribes, Ayers said, I'VE as
white men of Montana and America
appreciate your cooperation In the
development of this project"
The dam was built on lnolan Aallo,
and members OF the FlaJneao allu
Kootenai tribes will receive more than
s7,5O0.O0O during the next 30 years.
Frank Kerr was described as "a fac
tor, which more than any other was
responsible for the contamination OF
this great accomplishment" by Cor
neiius F. Kelley, president Of the Ana !
conda Copper Mining Co.
Kelley lauded Kerr as great en-
gineer who rose from obscure ana OH
ficult beginnings"
Speaking through an interpreter, |
Chief Charlo of the Selfish tribe, said:

dam and this makes Mr.. Kerr rejoice

Chief Koostahtah OF the Kootenat
nation, expressed his gratitude to the
people who completed the dam.

LOG TRUCK BOLTS.
RIDERS UNHURT
TWO MEN JUMP TO SAFETY AFTER
WILD RIDE DOWN NOUN
TAIN

Two men escaped injury recently
after q wild ride at Evar0 when
they jumped fr0zn q runaway motor
truck carrying 1000 feet of logs
down a steep mountain road. The
men were Nj. p. JewetS, logging
contractor at EvarO, and Leo John
son of MissOuIa, driver of the
truck.
Although the truck spilled the logs
and jumped down 20-foot bank, 1t
was not damaged, Mr.. Jewett said.
I'VE were coming out of the hills
with the logs" said he. Because the
grade was IS to IS percent down the
slope we had seven logs in two sets
Of trails behind the truck to hold it
back in going down the incline.
"AlI went well until one set of the
trails, the one dragging four of the
seven logs, broke. The remaining trail
was not sufficient to hold the truck
back. and it steadily gained momentum.
We both jumped and the truck sped
faster every second. Finally the logs
were thrown off and at turn on the
highway the truck went straight ahead
and over q 20-foot bank. It landed
right side up in a clump of brush that
saved it from damage.
1T was a narrow escape for both
of us. johnson did q good job of
handling his truck, but finally had to
Jump for his life when 1t was gaining
so much momentum that he knew he
could not hold it on the road on the
sharp curves ahead.
THE trip down the mountain with
the logs is a slow one generally with
the logs being trailed behind the truck
to hold 1t back"

betterment and development Of the
introduced by Former State Senator
A. ]. Brewer, Of AdiSsoula county when
it also included the present Flathead
county. Montana's senior senator said
when he first went to the senate 16
years ago he was interested in the de-
velopment of the power site both from
the standpoint of the white settler
and the Indians
He said he prevailed in convincing
the department of the interior that the
project belonged to the Flathead In
dian council and the Indians should
be paid a rent. He said he felt that the
white settler who had been promised
water from the government should be
benefited.
Cheap Power
He added, IF any private corpora
ton had made promises to the settlers
Of this valley and broken them as the
government did they would have been
subject to prosecution for getting money
under false pretenSes or using the
mails to defraud. As far as the white
is now getting power cheaper than they
could If they had built the project
themselves. So they should be able to
distribute power so that those living
near the project will be able to have
cheap power in their homes and upon
their farms, and If you don't get 1t 1t
will be because the department in
Washington fails to furnish 1t to you.
They can do it and I am going to
try to get this benefit for the Indians
under this contract.
"Some people have criticized the
building of this project. challenge
anybody in Montana, any congressman
in or out of congress or anybody else
to point out a power site in the United
States where the government has
charged a private corporation so much
for the privilege of developing power
as they have in this instance. No place
in the United States has the govern
ment written as stringent q contract
with q power company as they have
here and they have done 1t for the
benefit of the Indians and Of the
white settlers upon this reservation.
History Of Power
Kerr, the final speaker, traced the
of electric power in Mon
tana and spoke of the comparative
of electricity.
He recalled the first distribution of
electricity transported then but a
short distance and used wholly for

ELECTRICITY first came to Montana In

application to practically every Treas
ure state city of any size"
He hailed the dam as step upward
in Montana development, and paid
tribute to the engineers who built the
structure, and the Indian tribes on
whose land it is located.

RIDING, ROPLNG
EARLY-DAY SPORT
PRESENT-DAY RODEO DEVELOPED
FROM CONTESTS BETWEEN
cow OUTFITS
There was No 10-SecOnd Limit IN
Those Days and Buckar0Os Either
Were Thrown Off or Rode Until
Mounts Quit Rough Work.

ROdeos-or, If You prefer the
California version, 'sr0dayOs' had
their origin in cowboy contests
staged long years ago when the
great area from Texas TO Montana
was largely unfenced and the cattle
industry was the VESTS ssbig busi-
ness"
The country was big and far from
overcrowded. COWBOYS and cattle own
ers went months, or even years, without
seeing town and it was only natural
that they would develop some sport
to amuse themselves when the regular
days work was done.
Riders in each outfit competed
among themselves until they developed
their own champions, who were later
matched with the best from some rival
outfit.
Bets were high ON these contests,
they say, ana the sport especially to
show proficiency in riding and roping
spread across the plains area.
In those days cowboy didn't start
out to rope and tie down only one
steer A half dozen or more were re-
leased and he had to rope and tie
them all, one after the other. Bronc
busters also had to ride not one horse,
but several IN the course Of q contest
And there was no time limit; the win
ner simply stayed on or the horse quit
buckkng.
There were no specific rules, but
some regulations were made to meet
the occasion.
The rOdeo sport of bulldogg1ng came
from the Mexicans, but it has been
modified because of frequent injury to
the animals.
There were no chutes IN the early
DAYS and the first broncS were blind
folded; snubbed and ridden when the
cowboy was ready.
And there were no announcers in
the early days, nor any arenas-Spec-
tators either stood patiently in group
or tried TO follow the contestant off
into distance CA foot.
AS the rodeo business was developed
into the second largest amateur sport
industry In the world, trick roping and
riding and other contests were added
to those Of the old-time cowboys.
standard rules have been adopted to
n1ake it tougher for the cowboy and
easier for the animal And the popu
laT1tv Of rodeos has spread from the
great west TO the Atlantic seaboard.

OLD FERRY SITE

MISSOURI CROSSING AT LISMAS
MOVED TO POINT NORTH
EAST OF HAXBY

Water backing up from the Fort
Peck dam has completely covered
the former site of the Lismas ferry,
according to ]. p. Krusick, pro-
prietor.
'aThe building Of the Fort Peck dam, -
said Mr. Krusick, Spelled the doom OF
the old LAsmas ferry site, which was
familiar to thousands OF people, not
only from Montana but from every
where who enjoyed the thrill and ro-
nance of riding over the Missouri on
a ferryboat."
mar. Krllsick said that the Missouri

Joined to form one big body Of water.
Where he operated the ferry before
the distance across is now about five
miles.
water is backing up the Big Dry
between the benchlands until that
stream is now about a mile and a
half wide at the point, about eight
miles northeast of Haxby where he re-
established his ferry.
It is not expected, on account OF the
rise Of the benchlands Skirting both
sides Of the Big Dry. that the water

tinue to back up that stream until 1T

Language of Rodeo Ring
Used by Modern Cowboys

You may be a phildoodle or 9
waddie. You may be greenhorn OF
a moSshorn. But, whatever you are
here's your chance to brush up on
the language Of the cowhand.
A cowboy riding a bronc out OF the
rodeo chute is "a peeler putting 'em
east and west aboard the hurricane
deck of an outlaw" and If you look
carefully, you may see him BLOWN
A brief glossary Of rodeo terms
follow:
"Bitin' the dlst"-when a cowboy is
tossed from his horse; If you look close
ly, you may see where he took bite
out of the ground.
BLOWN a stirrup"-when a rider
loses q StirrlIp and the Judges deduct
points Experienced cowboys now have
tailored boots with leather arches so
the stirrupS viii become wedged. Some
riders even put chewing gum on their
arches.
"Boggin' 'em in"-when rider fails
to scratch his horse.
"Bronc rider"-cowboy who springs
from his horse and downs a steer
against time. The event was first staged
by a negro in Mexico. 1t was then
called hoolihaning and the cowboy
would trip the steer over backwards
twist the neck of the animal, bite the
steer In the nostrils and throw both
hands into the air. But the humane
society stepped Ia. Today COWBOYS take
the steers by the horns. Stock for
this event is gathered in Old Mexico.
calf roping'-in this event, the
cowboy, astride a horse, must rope a
calf, Jump from his horse, dash to the
calf, and tie the animal by three legs
against time.
"Coastfn' When q cowboy attempts
to quiet a bronc by holding its head
and not squirting. The practice is most
often followed by an inexperienced
cowboy who happens to draw the
meanest critter in the chutes.
''Daylightin' When bronze bucks
its rider above or out of the saddle
so you can see daylight between rider
and saddle.
"Dudine or dudette" Described by
rodeo cowboys as young Lady who
comes west to marry rich cowboy-or
just cowboy.
HE Sure Blew the Plug"-Said of a
bucking horse that exhibits all the
tricks Of the rodeo arena.
High roller'-A horse that leaps
high into the air when bucking.
Hurricane deck The saddle seat
on a horse. After riding some Of the
wilder broncs, a puncher feels as
though he has gone through an ex-
perience worse than q hurricane.
Mad scramble" Roping finale when
Brahma bulls, steers and mules with
cowboys astride each animal rush into
the arena from all directions. Leo
Cremer, Montana arena director, in
vented this nightcap event.
''A6icyclin' The act of scratching
with one foot and then the other in
the manner of riding a bicycle.
Pickup mana necessary rodeo
cowboy who rides along with the bronze
after the 10-second whistle and grabs
the critter. He sometimes lifts the
rider from the hurricane deck when
the cowboy is in danger.
"Pullin' leather -When q cowboy

takes hold Of the saddle horn, string
or cantle when being bucked off.
Put 'em east and west, boyl"-The
expression is generally shouted by the
judges to the cowboys and means for
the rider to spur the bronc's shoulders
with toes pointing outward.
"Screwin' down"-A rider who comes
out of the chute with knees clamped
tightly to saddle and both spurs dig
ging in
Scratch Squirting the horse back
and forth.
"Swallowin' its tail"-When a bronc
bucks high and exhibits a dangerous
curve in its back, with it's head be-
tween its front feet and tail behind
its hind feet.

NEW COUNTING SYSTEM
Used IN GLACIER PARE

Travel to Glacier national park 50

Supt. <. T. Scoyen announced.
Park officials said the total is less

system of counting had been used the
travel this year would be approximately
$4,000 above the record year Of 1886 and
IS 900 ahead Of 1887.
They said a study made three years
