town, and another like trip was made
| in the evening.
The Baby Rose, July 10, started down
the river with a big barge in tow,
bound for Round Butte, 300 miles below
Fort Benton, the barge being at least
as long as the steamer. It took on so
tons Of coal about 20 miles below town
as part of the freight it was taking on
its trip. Archie Oder, an old-timer of
Fort Benton, went with it as far as
Wilder
The steamer soon proved difficult to
manage, bucking and rolling when in
motion, but it was not until 1t reached
its destination and then tried to return
that troubles really commenced. Be-
sides being nearly unmanageable, the
boat consumed so much fuel that even
tually Captain Crepeau was forced to
drop his barge in order to bring the
steamer back to Fort Benton. With its
failure to successfully navigate the
Missouri, boosters for the river suffered
q severe blow, which, on top of the dis
appointments of the 1908 season, fin
ished that kind Of traffic, except for
occasional flatboats, which as late as
the early twenties were sometimes
leaving Fort Benton. In 1908 the o. K,
which had come to Fort Benton the
year before, was burned there; the
Mandan, government snagboat, had a
difficult trip, and the Benton Packet
Co. steamer Expansion, with Grant
Marsh as captain, failed to get farther
than the mouth of Milk river
The Baby Rose was wrecked by ice
in the winter of 1909 and left, hope
lessly damaged just below the Pioneer
(once the Power) store, where a few
timbers and the general outline of its
hull can still be seen. There it is less
visible each. spring after the ice leaves
the Missouri and 1t will soon disappear
entirely. Fifteen years ago boys fiShed
for catfish from the stern of the boat,
which extended eight to 10 feet into
the river and offered a convenient
perch for their activities but each sue
ceeding year has wrecked it further and
a bar has been formed below the boat
which is gradually covering what re-
mains of It's timbers.

WATER PROJECT
ANIMAL KINGDOM ENGINEERS
RAISE WATER IN BOWMAN
LAKE OVER IL INCHES

Rangers In the PoIebridge district
report that a colony Of beavers,
renowned engineers Of the animal
kingdom, have just completed one
Of their most ambitious water con-
gervatiOn projects at Bowman lake
In Glacier national park.
Putting a dam 40 feet long and
one and one-half feet high across the
outlet they have succeeded in raising
the water level of the entire lake slight
" over foot. AS Bowman is one Of the
larger of the parks $50 lakes, being
roughly seven miles long by a half
mile wide, park engineers estimate the
beavers have in storage $500 acre-feet
of water
Although it is the policy Of the ma
tfonal park service to oppose man-made
dams In the parks no effort is made
to interfere with operations OF native
wildlife. Therefore the sac beavers es-
timated in the reservation carry ON
their work unm0lested.

the state, many of whom themselves,
now in important positions and posts,
are alumni of the school.

To the Pioneers of Montana
By w. L. DAVIES

The same old sun shines down today
hat shone on us in o.
The same old moon floats in the sky
That floated there in days of yore,
And smiled upon the creeping trains
When we whacked bulls across the plains
The mountain peaks look just the same
AS they did in the long ago
When from the States with greed we came
To seek for gold in Idaho.
But where are now the moving trains
And bulls we whacked across the plains?
The Pioneers, where now are they?
Those sturdy men so brave and true,
Who met the Indians in the fray
And gave the savage foe his due;
Who faced the storms of wind and rain
When whacking bulls across the plains.
A few are left of that brave crowd
That landed here in o.
Some are with riches we'll endowed
And some have reached the golden shore.
'Iis but few that now remains
That whacked the bulls across the plains
That blazed the trails across the hills
And gave its birth to this young State
That furnished gold to pay the bills
And opened wide the mountain gates
For they were men of Drawn and brains
Who whacled the bulls across the plains.
