Came Along Too Early.

CL1FF. a graduate of West Virginia
Wesleyan and Rhodes scholar, is
pushing the 3o-year mark now. He
broke into professional football in
1882, starting with the BedSkins when
they represented Boston For four
years he was a human battering ram
with an objectionable club. The
early Redskins couldn't buy ball
game. They were weak Extensively
and defensively and not we'll coached
until Marshall signed Ray Flaherty
IN the winter of 1885.
Battles and Capt. Turk Edwards
stood out on those Boston teams which
vainly tried to gain a $3.50 record for
any season from 1882 through 1885.
The Redskins only reliable method
Of gaining ground was to hand the
ball to Battles, who fought an amazing
four-year battle and was punished
tn proportion.
Cliff came along too early and from
too obscure school to land in the
hig-money class. He was an all
America back from the time he first
stepped into varsity lineup but the
experts don't pick all-Americas from
schools like West Virginia Wesleyan
So. without the fanfare and trumpet
ing that accompanied such as Sammy
Baush and Sam Francis and Gaynell
Tinsley into pro football, Battles had
to work his way into recognition from
scratch. Among the moneyed clan
he long has been recognized as one
Of the great ball carriers of all time.

Groom Farkas For Post,

RATTLES and Edwards, almost
alone of that loose Redskin outfit
that represented Boston, were inval-
uable cogs in the two football ma
chimes that Flaherty welded together
in 1896 and 1897. In 1886 Battles
led the Redskins to the Eastern cham
pionship and last year. coupled with
Freshman Baugh, he was responsible
for the offensive power which brought
Washington the title in its first year
In the National League.
Cliff. at best, has only two or three
years of steady campaigning ahead of
him in pro ranks. Alreadv the Red
skins are planning to groom Andy
Farkas, the Detroit college star, to
share major ball-carrying duty with
Battles next fall. Now it looks as il
Farkas, with the aid of Don Irwin ano
Baugh, will have to bear the brunt OF

Later I will become director of

Michigan officials denied they had dis

generally was believed that some as

When, in the summer Of 1882, Eng
land declared war upon Egypt and
Shelled the city Of Alexandria and
other Egyptian ports, only a few SOL
diers, under Sir Garnet Wolesly, were
sent to Egypt. Sir Garnet, popular hero
Of the Ashanti war, was to put Arab
Pasha in his place In short order. But
Sir Garnet received a tremendous sur
prise in his first encounter with PaSha
and the war lasted three months in
stead Of the three weeks the English
had expected Pasha proved surprising
ly hard to catch and was an excellent
field general in the bargain. He almost
succeeded in q daring attempt to block
the Suez canal and in the early battles
Of the war completely outmaneuvered
the great Sir Garnet.
According TO newspaper accounts
Arab Pasha entered one battle with
as many as $4,000 men and so cannons.
He played his hand brilliantly but in
the end was doomed to defeat, for the
English were massing a huge army.
Thousands Of British regulars poured
into the country and the Queen sent
her own son, the Duke of Connaught
to command one division. BY Septem-

The Egyptians threw down their arms
and Arab Pasha, still arrogant and
with his head unbowed, went to Cairo
to give himself up. Even In the face of
defeat he could still use his Irish wit,
and in reference to the terrible things
the English newspapers had said about

MARIAS PROJECT
SURVEY IN April
START DEPENDS ON CONDITION
OF ROADS AND THE
WEATHER

The survey of the proposed
Marias river irrigation project will
start about the middle Of April, or
earlier IL roads and weather con-
! ditiOns permit, according TO Judge
/ G. ID. Elweil and f. B. Duncan, who
recently returned from Washing
/ ton, where they went to interview
government officials regarding the
matter. In a report to the Havre
Chamber OF Commerce, as repre-
sentatives Of which they made the
trip, they stated that a favorable
reception was given also by the
various bureaus involved TO the
modified farm security program
suggested recently for the Milk
river valley by the newly formed
MILK River Valley Development
association.
It appeared, said the report, that the
commissioner Of reclamation was ready
to make the MariaS river survey from
funds previously placed at his disposal,
but that difficulties had arisen In the
Indian department, John Collier, COM
missioner Of Indian affairs said that
he did not wish to make any statement
as to what his department. would do,
until he knew how much water was
available, and how much was needed

flow figures, and at the request of
Sen. b. X. Wheeler, the matter was
hurried.
The figures, when received, showed
that at Cut Bank the flow Of the
Marias was 100000 acre feet, and the
figures at Brinkman showed $4,000
acre feet. Surprise was expressed at
the amount of water flowing in the
stream at Cut Bank.
A meeting was then arranged which
was attended by Commissioner Page,
Commissioner Collier, Senator Wheeler
and the delegation, after which a
tentative satisfactory arrangement rel
alive to water needed by the Indians
was reached and which would leave
ample water for other irrigation pur-
poses. Commissioner Collier win CO.

permitting use Of survey figures In the
possession Of the Indian department.

ment, Commissioner Page said he was
ready to make the survey, arrange
ments for which will be In charge Of

bureau. Judge Elwen and Duncan said
that they "were satisfied that there
Is not anything now going to interfere
with the survey"
Conferences relative to the Saco d.
vide project were held with Senators
Wheeler and Murray, Commissioner
Page and WPA officials. This project
win be set up somewhat on the order
OF the Buffalo Rapids project, Judge
Elwen reported. A certain amount Of
the cost win be refmbursible, and some
WPA funds and labor will be used. The
matter has now been presented TO
President Roosevelt and Is ON his desk

Indians Charge Camp
The Indians gathered on the sur.
rounding hills and turned loose Z
fusilade of bullets. The three tethereC
horses were soon killed. The mer
dragged them up to reinforce then
barricade.
Suddenly the indians charged the
camp and met deadly fire from the
trappers' guns. Two bucks were killed
and the Indians withdrew. Fifty more
came IN from another direction, and
these changed their minds after q
horse was wounded, throwing its rider
under its thrashing feet. He was killed
by the trappers.
Another band Of 100 Sioux made q
third charge, rushing to within 80 feet
Of the barrfcade. When they retired,
their chief was dead.
Finding an open charge ineffective,
the Indians changed their tactics and
attempted to crawl UP on the camp,
bushwhack style. The trappers added
three more dead Indians, and there
was no more bushwhacking.
Cooke killed an Indian close to his
breaStworkS. He was deeply angered
that an Indian bullet had made q hole
in his hat, and he performed a feat
of bravado that had its effect on the
enemy. He jumped beyond the barri-
cade and pulled his dead Indian in as
an addition to his breastworks.
Disheartened, the Indians withdrew
to plan new course Of action. 1t was
late afternoon by now, and the trap
pers slipped away as the shadows
deepened.
Three days later, on their way to
miles below where Livingston stands,
they were near the site Of Red Lodge
when they ran into a second body Of
Sioux, probably 20 braves A few shots
were fired but no one was hurt, and
the Indians went their way

story was taken with several grains

Of the busiest In the Capital city,
located Just few hundred feet

The old Payne hotel for many years
stood on the present site Of the federal
building. The hotel, old-timers say
antedated the railroad era.
1t was a two-story frame, painted
white, but presenting q weather beaten
exterior. Right across the street there
was a big horse and mule corral

Where the Montana club building lifts
its dignified walls there was shack
In which oxen were Shod. That sounds
long time ago, but there are plenty
Of people in Helena who were born or
grew up there who can remember it.
Two more small houses also stood in
that block at that time. Somebody
lived in one Of them, and the other
was shop of some kind. The rest Of
the block bounded by Sixth, Lawrence,
Park and Fuller avenues was bare.
In those days there were many OK
teams freighting to and from Helena.
and the blacksmith shop that furnished
those animals with shoes did a good
business. Not only have the oxen long
seen OK shoes or who knows what they
are like, two curved plates probably
three inches long, nailed on the sole Of
the hoOf at the sides.
The oxen and their shoes survive in
history, fiction and the movies, but in
those days they were part Of COM
munity institutions.
Some Of the early residents viii tell
you that there was spring on Davis
street close to Blake and that the
teanlsters had the habit Of camping
with their oxen and wagons at the
spring. They left their outfits temper
arily at the springs and went on to
town.
Boys in those days had no cars nor
movies to entertain them, so some
times they prodded the oxen and
started them off down the street with |
heir wagons, and got a kick out of |
,he proceeding. Some times they could /
not stop the CRITTERS" when they got |
lnder way, and the teamsters had a
