speed drivers still maintain the

Americans. The meager balance of
II per cent is shared by the drivers

Action Of Shift Lever
Suggests Precuution

Watching the shift lever wigele
should suggest point in connection
with shifting. Since the top Of tho
lever moves through q wider arc
than the bottom the hint Is that
II you try to shift by holding the
lever farther down you will not OBJ
tain as good leverage. The best shift
is always had by Tipping the lever
from the ball top. In fact it is even
easier If you merely touch the top

times known as Francois Benetsee
peddler of mixed-Indian blood
who roamed the Northwest from
the Rocky mountains to the Pa

tern Montana in 1852.
He was grub-staked by Angus

lake, but both Finlay and his hacker
tired of the venture and quit after
two ounces Of gold had been wash
ed out.
Discovered In 1862.
The Bannack mines were discov-

White, Aug. 16, 1852, along Grass

BY January, 1868, the town had
a population of 500 miners, among
them the widest and most reckless
adventures whose names and mis-
deeds figured conspicuously in the
early history of Montana.
BY the middle of 1863, the pop
