~ LD-TIMER of 1864 says it
" strikes him that of Mon n
W tana's true pioneers none is
more deserving of credit, more
worthy of the honors her people
have accorded him than John H..
Powell of the Stuart party. AL
though Old-Timer was just a
shaver when he first knew Powell
he remembers him with affection
and awe. History records the dis
covery of gold on Benetsee creek
(now Gold creek) by the Stuart
party journeying homeward to
Iowa from California. 1t records
that the Indian menace, their need
for other food than the game available
together with the necessity of procur-
ing tools for the construction of sluices
enforced the party's continuing on to
Fort Bridger, that they did not return
to their find until 1860.
1t records that, construction COM
pleted, they put into use on the 9Th
of May, 1862, the first sluicing plant
in Montana.

well back from the lead cattle, and by
riding forward and closing in as oc-
caSion required, directed the course
of the herd. The main body trailed
along behind the leaders like an army
in loose marching order, guarded by
outriders. known as swing men, who
rode well out from the advancing
column, warding off range cattle and
seeing that none of the herd wandered
away or dropped out. There was no
driving to do: the cattle moved of their
own free will as in ordinary travel.

Route followed the Gulf of Mexico
and the first of many trail difficulties
occurred at the Arroyo Colorado, about
SO miles north of Brownsville. The ar
royo was an arm Of the ocean, and the
trouble encountered in driving the
herd across foreshadowed the desper-
ate dangers presented by the wild
rivers of the north-the Colorado, the
Brazos, and others lying between the
Rio Grande and the Blackfeet reser-
walton.
The first of these was the Nueces,
and beyond this occurred the most
dreaded disaster of the trail herd.
stampede The cattle, nervous in humid
heat, broke in fright when the mount
of one of the men stumbled IN a
gopher burrow. After considerable Dill :
ficulty the herd was reassembled,, and
there followed a period OF a couple OF
weeks in which things went smoothly.

HOW ABOUT IT, MIR. BORAH?

Among the red faces in the world today none should have a more ruddy glow than that of Senator Borah Less than a month ago. when President Roosevelt called in Senatorial leaders to explain the need of neutrality law, the Idaho lion had words with the chief executive He said that he had private information from abroad that there would be no war in Europe warnings of the State Depart ment to the contrary
 Then the Senator and his group of self-willed politicians on the Senate Foreign Relations Com mttee announced refusal to do anything about neu- traity at this session They would take full respon sibility for gambling that there would be war before Congress meets again. they said. Now the blame is theirs.
 Our hope in staying out of the war in Europe lies in a strong but flexible neutrality act, the kind President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull asked of

Canadians on Way South To Join Up

It was not hard to imagine the gloom that settled over Juneau's Canadian neighbors last Saturday night when Premier Chamberlain's announcement went out to the world that Great Britain had gone to war with Germany.
 Early this morning, five sober faced young Canadians passed through Juneau aboard the steamer Aleutian from the Westward, avowedly heading south to sign sup
 On tomorrow mornings south bound Princess boat, there will be without doubt, a large number of working men aboard who have just left their jobs in Canada, miners sleavtng shovels for guns, clerks aeaving pencils for grenades. E The last great war created havoc in the Canadian mining industry as 1.-the young men who crewed the mines left for Europe's battlefields, sand it is likely that already, Atlin, .Whitehorse, Dawson and Fortymile mines have felt the pinch of short Tened crews.

THE RED CROSS BIRTHDAY

Last week marked the 18th anniversary of the founding of the Red Cross. In 1864 representatives of 25 governments met in Geneva to sign treaties providing for the neutrality of all sanitary supplies ambulances surgeons nurses, medical attendants, sick and wounded Appropriately, the flag adopted was red cross on white ground, reversal of the Swiss national colors.
 Today 61 nations have chapters 3,176 of them in this country with than 5000 members. From Siam to Russia from Australia to the Argentine, the organization stands ready to serve in war and in peace-time disaster.
 It is one of the paradoxes of history that it was organized from motives of mercy to mitigate the horrors which every instrument of mans devisng had been employed to create By chance" Swiss banker and philanthropist Henri Dunant, passed through the zone of the Battle of Solferino when the dead and the wounded (40000) still lay upon the field His description stirred the humanitarians of his day to action which resulted in convention entered into by the representatives of 12 govern ments
 In the 75 years since, the movement begun in Geneva has embraced the whole earth in it's humane service It was begun on a battlefield but 1t has found an wider scope for it's concern in meeting the disasters which come upon communities and which individuals cannot meet alone
 Particularly has America, with her 5,500000 adult and 9O0OO0O junior members, undertaken a sweeping preparation for what cannot be prevented hurricane and earthquake flood and fire and other forces with which man has to contend.
 In 75 years the Red Cross has rushed to the scene of more than 200O disasters and has dsbursed $l40 900 900 for food medicines and relief.
 Today the Red Cross is taken for granted. It is accepted as vital auxiliary to our government just as are our various public health services, the Army Navy and Marine corps It is fitting, therefore, that the nation remember with gratitude the good work! of this organization

 Senator Borah is of the finest Senators the nation has ever sent to Washington. He has spent
 distinguished lifetime in the service of his country He has been right in thousand important decisions Now he is wrong and in what may prove the most important decision he ever made.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day after the early morning when Neptune seems to encourage deceit. Guard against sharp practices and underhand dealing this morning Women should be cautious in hand ling their financial affairs, for many will be cheated by interruptions agents and unstable corporations. This is a date promising to women who seek employment, but only those of highest education and train ing may expect success.
 HEART AND HOME: This is happy wedding day, promising pros perity and progress. The stars en- courage correspondence with friends and love letters should be highly eff fective Marriages are to be numer- ouS this autumn when economic considerations will be ignored by young and old One of the signs of the times will be a fear of loneliness.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Anus e. ment enterprises will flourish. Fall sports will be well attended and theaters will prosper, for there will be desire to escape from the con- 1 temptation of threatening events in Europe and the Orient. There is a sign read as encouraging to those who have capital to invest. FinahG ciers are to be less restricted than they have been, it is foretold. <
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Railways come under a configuration which appears to presage increase in re- turns. Transcontinental freight car .riers will be in great demand. Tfh l Pacific Coast will focus national in- terest as the Philippines cause gfavt anxiety Radio is to be employed for subverSive activities.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: An assassination that will affect the United States as we'll as the Euro pean country in which it takes place is prognosticated. Astrologers warn that isolation for the United States is impossible as world events become more and more threatening.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good luck to which a stranger contributes. Ro- nance will flourish for young and old.
 1 Children horn on this dav nroh ably will be amiable and magnetic but strong willed and inclined to be self-centered. Many may have mu- sical or artistic talent. Usually these subjects of Virgo are very fortunate all through life.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

Mixed planetary influences are active today, which should be fairly fortunate after the morning hours. It is wise to defer initiative, for the judgment may not be trustworthy under this rule of the stars. Inde- cision and lack of confidence in world pacts may delay important government plans.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this sway warm friendship between both sexes may develop. This is fortu- nate date to invite strangers to the home, for thus angels may be entertained unawares. Women will find this a good time to start club programs or plans for public work
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Caution is enjoined against risks. Workers may be easily influenced by unfriendly competitors. Speculation will tempt many, sudden fortunes may be made before the new year, but the slow but sure method of acquiring wealth is recommended. Contracts should not be signed under this configura- ton, for unforeseen events may af- feet future commitments.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Revelations of graft and extravaganza will cause bitter criticism of the Administra- tion, but opposition will serve to unite party factions for next years campaign. Third term promoters will be busy, but health hazards may cause changes in plans of the Demo- cratic leaders.
 INTERNATIONAL AIR s: Great Britain will have crisis in a distant country over which it has control. The death of statesman may cause changes in policies that have been disappointing. There is sign that certainly appears as a portent of naval and military en- gagements. Japan is warned that the war lords will lead her to fina, defeat
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of progress ano prosperity. Gain for those of artistic taste may be marked.
 Children born on this day probably will be of high character and alert mind Military men and political leaders belong to this sign.
