the question on every mans lips. An
early spring was the only hope of
salvation.
The long-awaited chinook came in
March as a warm wind swept down
from the Rockies. The snow disap-
peared as If by magic and Montana
and the rest of the northwest beaved
a great sigh Of relief. Said the editor
Of Miles City paper: "At the risk
from q third and last call Springtime
has surely come, gentle Annie"
Gentle Annie had been correctly in
formed and springtime really had come
in March, for the state experienced
no more cold weather that season. But

over the assembly. Even the bluff con-
VITALITY of a Theodore Roosevelt could
not rouse the assembled cattlemen to
laughter. Had the cattlemen realized
the full extent of their losses they
would probably have been even more
downhearted.
The spring roundup revealed the hor-
r1ble truth. Losses averaged SO percent
in the Yellowstone and MusseIshell re-
gions and were almost as severe In the
Judith Basin country. Nelson Storey of
Bozeman, one of the great cattle kings
of the day, estimated his losses at
two-thirds and on one stretch of graz
ing land alone lost $4,000 worth Of
prize poled angus bulls. One of the
bulls was found alive but 1t died al

into place.
Within the stone is preserved for the
people of the remote future, should the
arch ever be dismantled, documents
concerning early Montana history and
the history of the park. There are
records Of Montana grand lodge con-
vocation; the Masonic code of laws:
several coins; a bible; articles written
by Cornelius Hedges In 18T0-72, when
he was advocating the creation of the
park; park pictures; photograph Of
the president, and copies of the Liv-
ingston Post and the Gardiner Wonder
land. The Post and the Wonderland
long ago joined the list of Montana
newspapers which now exist only In
memory.
Following the Masonic dedication
ritual the president addressed the
gathering, expressing his appreciation
recreation 1t afforded. He nkened the
park to the Alps and the Riviera, ex-
pressing surprise that In the years up
to 1908 more people from Europe than
from the eastern United States had
been Yellowstone visitors He stressed
the beauties of the park In winter, still
seen in this good year 1888 by few
people outside the employees Of the
national park service. He paid tribute
to the Grand Army of the Republic
and to Farragut Post No. z Of Living
ston, which had participated In the
welcome at Livingston and in the
at the arch.

The president was introduced at
Gardiner by j. @. Mccartney, a prom
inent Gardiner character who bore the
sobriquet Mayor of Gardiner" al
though the town, as now, was unincor-
porated. After bidding officers and
scouts with his vacation party fare
well, the president rode to his train
at Cinnabar. where he held a brief re-
ception before departing for the capital
Following its creation in 1872, Ma
thaniel P. Langford, one of the little
group who first advocated the national
park idea, served as the first park
superintendent for several years with
out pay, devoted to the ideal of keep
ing the park free of exploitation for
personal profit. He battled long and
strenuously to keep out the Barnums
who would have established admission
gates at Old Faithful, the Canyon, and
other points of interest. His battle was
largely won before he relinquished his
post and turned again to personal
affairs.
Langford was one of the organizers
of, and leading spirit in, the Masonic
order in Montana Roosevelt was the
greatest conservationist of his time.
Perhaps 1t was not entirely coinci-
dence that Langford's old grand lodge
of Masons and the ardent conserVa-
ZIONIST were associated In laying the
cornerstone Of the great Roosevelt arch.
1t was indeed fitting that both should
have participated in the ceremony
which completed the work begun q

in the dedication Of Yellowstone ma
tional park for all time For the Bene-
fit and Enjoyment Of the People"

n n MLE0NS of people from eveEs
section Of the globe have passes
MI through the great Roosevelt
Iva arch q Gardiner during ths
past IS years as they enssree
Yellowstone park. They have beer
buns and princes hitchhikers and
titled nobility, plain John Jones and
family from Hometown, u. s. A., and
royalty and its retinue from the worlds
capitals. There have been lesser pup
pets from the farthest and least civil
ICED corners Of the earth.
Most Of those millions have raised
their eyes to the inscription above the
keystone: For the Benefit and En-
Joyment of the People" They have
commented upon It's democratic SYM
bolism. But very few of them, perhaps,
have paused to consider what might
be the history of the arch and all that
it represents; even fewer are aware Of
the pageantry, brief though 1t was, as
ISOLATED with the construction Of the
great entrance gate-pageantr OF
type seldom seen in these days of motor
cars, which each year enter the park
by the thousands.
The lives of pioneer trappers, humble
workmen, hardy frontiersmen, the
army, and a president of the United
States are symbolized in the massive
STRUCTURE OF QablVe SJOue.
Plans for construction of the arch
were completed in 1902, and in the
spring of 1908 tons upon tons Of native
hasaltic rock had been assembled
awaiting the late breaking Of the
winter.
Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, accom- /
panied by Naturalist John Burroughs, !
entered the park on April 8, 1908, for I
q late winter tour Of wonderland
winter tour so-called because the SHOWS I
still were deep throughout the park.
The story of Teddy's tour and that +
of the arch are an intertwined nara
tive.
This was one of the few times In the
history Of modern America that
president of the United States has
completely isolated himself from the
public view for more than few hours;
Teddy remained in the park for 16
days. during which time the news
papers were denied any direct word Of
his doings.
The presidents approach to the park
was the usual triumphal pilgrimage.
at Livingston he was greeted by men
who now are only names in Montana'S
history: District Judge Frank Henry,
dore Brantley, ard Joseph M. Dixon,
who was successfully congressman,
senator, governor, and assistant secre-
tary Of the interior There were dele
gates OF lesser lights from all parts
of Montana.
RooSevelt's association with the range
lands of eastern Montana and western
North Dakota was fresh In the minds
of the older cattlemen. 1t was but five
years since his Rough Rider days in
the Spanish-American war. Not only
was Teddy president-he was q uni
versal idol.
In his Livingston talk the president
recalled his cowboy days and the west
ern men whose influence had helped
him to get his Rough Riders regiment.

made considerable money in the spring
skinning cattle that had starved or
frozen TO death.
Montana cattlemen had lost So .O00, :
600 but. contrary to expectations. the
loss did not cause the price of beef
to rise that spring. Prices went steadily
downward as every cattleman shipped
his cattle ia an attempt to cover his
losses. BY the fall OF 1887 prices were
so low that one shipment of Montana
cattle brought Just $3.50 per hundred
and the average price Of cattle on the
Chicago market for the year was $315.
NO cattleman made money from
cattle IN 1887. Bankruptcies followed
one another In fast succession SIS such
big outfits as the Alec Swan ranch
In Wyoming and the Niobrara Cattle
Co. went under. In the spring of 1886
the Niobrara had had $4,000 fat cattle
valued at 81 10000 In the roundup
Of June, 1887, they had 1900 head. The
big Glib Bros. spread went out OF
business and Theodore Roosevelt, who
had been ranching at Medora, Dakota
territory, gave up the ghost and went
into politics as a surer field of en-
deavOr than raising cattle. The famous
Marquis de Mores, who had gone into
cattle raising on q large scale in Da-
kota, threw up his hands In disgust and
went tiger hunting in India.
Unfortunately, other western cattle
men could not do the same and though
the cattle business was in a bad way, |
the fighting spirit of frontier Montana |
was still rampant and many Of the |
cattlemen went back to their ranches |

thereafter and the calf crops Of the
years 1888 and 1889 were excellent. The
cattle business had two things In its
favor In digging itself out of the rut-
much Of the loss of the winter Of 1886
81 had fallen on the shoulders of the
eastern investors, and most OF the
Montana banks had enough money in
vested Ia the then booming Montana
mines to balance their cattle losses.
Pierre Wiboux was one OF those who
took the lead IN building I'D depleted
herds With money borrowed from ar1s-
tocratic relatives in France, he bought
up the stock Of several ranches that
were quitting business and within q
few years was In the cattle business on
q greater scale than ever before. From
he purchased 10000 head, and from the
Powder River Co, 10000 head.
throughout Montana the cattle In
dustry made spectacular recovery and
by 1890 there we're more cattle on
Montana cattle ranges than before the
catastrophe. This time the business was
established on a sound basis and the
slip-shod, sometimes even criminal
bookkeeping Of former years was re-
placed with more businesslike methods.
Eastern and foreign investors had at
last become convinced that raising
cattle was not an easy and romantic
way of becoming rich quick and the
blind investments Of former years
ceased. 1t is said that for seme Of the
cattlemen the bad winter had been q
for by exaggerating the ex-
tent of their losses they were able to
cover up losses incurred IN crookedness
and bad management.
