Helena Cabin Built in 1865
To Become Pioneer Museum

Decision to purchase the old Gil
patrick cabin, built in 1865, at the
head of South Main street in Helena
and transform it into a pioneer mu-
scum, was reached at q meeting of
citizens Of that city.
The cabin is one of Helenas rare
landmarks and Is especially noted for
the locust trees which grow in front
OF it. These trees, in addition to being
two Of the few locusts in Montana, are
the first trees ever set out in this
state. They were brought in tomato
cans in 1865 and planted.
The sponsoring group, working
through the chamber of commerce,
will obtain the money through public
subscription.
# the purchase price of the old
cabin can be raised and the deal COM
pleted, it will give Helena nearly two
blocks Of public park space at the
head of Main street. One block has
already been purchased and will be
made into a Pioneer Memorial park.
It is planned to restore the old cabin,
If 1t Is purchased, to its original con-
dition and house in it the many pio-
IN Helena believe should be preserved.
1t is expected the price will be in the
neighborhood of $3.50.
From a niece of the late James
Fergus came a contribution of IS
toward the fund which will be used to
purchase and restore the old cabin.
In a letter to Secretary Matt Staff
of the chamber of commerce, Mrs. FL
len F. Romundstad Of Fergus said:
Fitzpatrick house on West Main street
is to be bought and restored. Enclosed
is our small donation of IS for the
same. James Fergus was a brother
Of our father, William Fergus"
The fitzpatrick cabins first occu-
pants were James Fergus and his
daughter, Mrs. S. G. Fitzpatrick.
patrick cabin was among those who
contributed toward the fund.
He was Louis G. Henry, Helena real
estate and insurance man, who told
Matt Staff That he lived with his par
ents in the Fitzpatrick cabin away back
in 1873. He says he doesn't remember
much about it but has a soft spot in
the drive goes over SO the cabin can
be purchased.
Mr. Henry revealed that private in
terestS would also like to purchase the
place. He said he had been approached
by a sheepherder who was looking for
some little cabin in town to purchase
and who had thought Of bidding for
have a home Of his own in which to
spend his winters. Mr.. Henry, how
ever, told the man there were other
cabins in town which might be pur-
chased at a reasonable figure and sug-
gested that he buy one of them in
stead.
In connection with the proposed
purchase, Walter Larson, business man,
recalled that one of Mr.. and Mrs. Gil
patrick's sons is postmaster at Sitka,
Alaska.
In 1886 Mr.. Larson, while on a tour

WHITEFISH HAS TITLE
OF BEST NAVY TOWN

Whitefish, with population Of ap-
proximately 1000, lays claim to the
title Of being the biggest little navy
town in the United States, Frank A.
Story, Helena recruiting officer, said.
Residents Of Whitefish claim that
their little city has more young men in
the United States navy per capita than
any other city in the nation.
During the past four years, Storey
said, II youths have enlisted in the
service from Whitefish, and the White
fish chapter Of the Navy Mothers club
boasts a membership OF II.
Strange as it may seem, the re-
cruiter pointed out, the greater num-
Der Of men of the navy come from
certain communities or cities where
the navy already has a well estab-
lished reputation. In these navy"
communities or cities the sons come
home on frequent furloughs and par
ents and friends soon become familiar
with all the opportunities and advan-
tages that the service offers its sailors.

JUST BORN IN BUTTE

Long live Daniel Boone
The famous Indian scout and trap
per of the Kentucky mountains died
a long time ago, but his progeny lives

All of which is by way Of saying

A summary of AAA activities for
1887 just released by A. j. Borton,
state executive officer for the AAA
in Montana, shows that farmers in
this state that year carried out
wide range of soil building prac-
tices of recognized value that will
have far-reaching effects toward
putting Montanas agriculture on
a more stable and permanent ba-
sis.
Through the agricultural conserva-
ton program farmers tied down loose
soils with cover crops to prevent wind
and water erosion, planted pasture
crops to increase forage supplies for
livestock, controlled moisture sapping
weeds, planted forest trees in Shelter
belts for protection of gardens and
farmsteads, built flood irrigation sys-
TENS to conserve runoff from spring
thaws and heavy rains, constructed
stock water reservoirs to provide more
efficient range management, and
strip cropped fields in bad blow areas
to prevent wind erosion
During 1897 the Triple-A program
was in operation in IS of the states
50 counties. The only exception was
Silver Bow county, a mining and in
dustrial area.
Seed 1000 Acres
Borton'S summary shows that under
the AAA program farmers in 1897
seeded a total of 224 215 acres to per
ennial legumes with and without nurse
crops. Biennial legumes, excepting
sweet clover, were planted on a total
of $3.50 acres and biennial and an
nual sweet clover was seeded on 204,-
955 acres.
Grasses, except crested wheatgrass,
were seeded on 14,095 acres. The re-
port also shows that 17,4ll acres Of
ho
being restored to native grass.
Holding an important place In the
1887 AAA program was crested wheat
grass, hardy drouth and cold re-
ststant forage grass that has proven
Q success under the extremes Of Mon
tana climate. Borton's summary shows
that 1926 265 acres were seeded to this
crop in 1887.
In addition to these crops mixtures
purposes were seeded on 16.083 acres.
During that year perennial noxious
weeds were controlled on a total of
5,103 acres, Of which 878 acres were
treated with chemicals.
Many Trees Planted
Forest trees for shelterbelt purposes
were planted on 112 acres and in ad-
ttion 1878 acres Of trees planted since
1884 were maintained by AAA particle
pants.
Strip cropping and fallow to prevent
wind erosion and to conserve moisture
was established on 273 809 acres. Plow-
less or trashy fallow was maintained
on a total Of 1907 45 acres and con-
trolled summer fallow was maintained
on 10437 acres.
Winter cover crops were seeded on
2,743 acres, green manure crops were
planted on 557 acres of irrigated land.
and A acres of orchards were seeded
to legumes for cover crops.
Diking for Hood water diversion in
volved 1910 acres of crop land and
1925 acres of non-crop pasture land,
a total of 1885 acres. Construction
OF reservoirs in drouth counties in
Guided the movement of 400 446 cubic
yards of dirt.
Other soil building practices COM
pleted during the year included the re-
seeding of $40 acres of non-crop pas
ture land to native grass, the con-
struction Of terraces Involving 1884
acres, and contour listing Of 2647 |
acres.
