Pacific Northwest Attractions Certain
To Attract Larger Numbers of Wis
itOrs in 1910, Say Delegates to SpO-
kane Conference

With war conditions In Europe
/ keeping Americans at home, tour
! list travel I'm the Pacific Northwest
next year should set a new record,
in the opinion of Montana dele
gates who attended the Pacific
Northwest Tourist association
meeting in Spokane recently.
During 1899 travel was approx
mately 10 per cent greater than during
1888 and Yellowstone park with its
100000 visitors during the summer
proved to be the largest single resort
area in the nation.
The meeting In Spokane was at
tended by Charles w. Towne, member
of the Butte Chamber Of Commerce
and chairman Of the advertising COM
mittee OF Montanans, Inc, and W. s.
Thompson, manager Of the Butte
chamber and a director OF the north
west association since it was founded
five years ago.
There were 80 officers and directors
present. They represented Montana,
North Dakota, Idaho, Oregon, Wash
ington, British Columbia and the
province of Alberta. Plans for tncreaS-
ing the tourist business In the sec
tons represented during 1910 were
outlined. A new plan adopted for rep
resentation In the association was to
name vice president from each state.
Ray L. Ruhle, chairman of the Butte
Chamber Of Commerce tourist COM
mittee, was named to represent Mon
tana. Large cities, also, were given
representation. Mr.. Towne was named
was selected as Helena's representa-
tive. Billings, Great Falls and Mis-
Soula viii select their representatives
later, it was said. M. 0. Ryan of Fargo,
N. D.. was elected president of the
association. w @. Ferguson Of Helena
IL ~ &c. 49,.
was decided to increase the budget
$1,000 over that Of last year, when the
sum Of 5000 was spent in advertising
the Pacific Northwest. The increase
was found necessary as the association
must compete with other states. 1t was
learned at the meeting that Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota have recently
combined to jointly advertise their
states
Another important move made by
the association was to employ contact |
men in Yellowstone National park |
during the summer months The as
sociation also will contact the leading |
West, South and the Pacific coast. |
Exhibits viii also be placed at tourist |
centers in Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit |
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Tt was learned from the Canadian |
representatives at the meeting that /
travel into Canada will be carried on |
as usual There viii be no restrictions |
on account of the war, it was stated. ,
1t was also brought out that while |
tourist travel In the Northwest In
creased about 10 percent during the /
season, the tourists are not remain
ing as long at points as they previ- |
ously did. Efforts viii be made by the |
to get the visitors to spend |

A statewide library project de-
signed 70 expand existing library
services SO they may be made
available TO every citizen of Mon
tana has been undertaken by the
Montana library extension COM
mission working In corporation
with the works progress admins
tratfOn, according 20 q recent an
n0uncement made by Mrs. Annabel
Edtnger, WPA director of w0men's
and professional projects directly
In charge of the library movement
The new undertaking supersedes
unit library projects formerly In
operation.
Realizing the great need and demand
for reading material In remote areas,
the Montana library extension COM
mission and the works projects adj
ninistration have established regional
library offices at Billings, Great Falls,
Miles City, Kalispen and Butte. The
latter will also serve as the state office.
From the regional offices books will
be distributed to local libraries which
viii encourage rural circulation.
Only ~ County Libraries
Statistics cite 263, 700 state citizens
are deprived of direct access to library
facilities Although a state law permits
the organization of county libraries,
there are only IL such libraries in the
state. Forty-two public libraries are
operating In Montana but many Of
them are seriously limited by lack of
funds and personnel and seven coun-
ties have no libraries of any kind
within their boundaries.
II starting the statewide library
project, Mrs. Edtnger asks interested
citizens for book donations. Chill
dren's books are greatly needed" the
director states. Rural and urban sec
tions not having library service are
craving books of recent publication
just as keenly as the more fortunate
centers. Should there be duplicates of
books in the home, late fiction that
has been read and no longer wanted,
tive material. the library project would
greatly appreciate the gift. Women
have been employed who will clean
and mend books that need repair"
A federal WPA grant of $358698 to
employ $50 workers and a pledge of
$97, $50 by the Montana library extern
sion commission and co-SponSorS will
make possible the purchase of $4,000
new books for the project. Two thou
sand dollars Of federal funds have al
ready been spent to purchase portion
Of the 10000 books WPA viii buy. An
estimated gift of 10000 acceptable
books is contemplated from private
club libraries and interested donors.
WPA TO Supply Personnel
Montana's statewide library project
will provide services for the preserva-
ton and repair of library materials,

BY EvALYN WALL


Bill Williams, one of the tough
est of the early day free traders,
in the mountains was In the habit
of travelling alone. He did this be-
cause he knew he could take care
of himself. He could hunt, trap or
fight Indians better than anyone
else, and when necessary he could
fOrtify or cache or cover his tracks
perfectly. II he was with someone
else there was no telling what fool
thing he might do and BIZ didn't
care to lose his scalp because of
someone eIse's mistakes.
decided to throw in with a party Of
seasoned men under the leadership OF
a fellow by the name Of La Bonte
With this party were such picked mer
as Killbuck, Joe Meek, Markhead and
Marcellin. Even though La Bonte was
surprised to have Old Bill join up with
the party he was also delighted be-
cause he was sure to know the beSt
places for beaver.
They had been on the trail many
days when one morning about day
break they were awakened by yellS
Immediately followed by a volley of
bullets thudding into trees and break
ing branches near them. They had
been camping in a canyon and it was
full of Indians. They figured that
there were at least a hundred redskins
concealed behind boulders and cllmpS
of dwarf pine and hemlock and it
was impossible for the trappers to get
a glimpse of one to aim at.
Chance Finally Comes
At last one young brave leaned too
heavily against his rock and it rolled
away, exposing him to full view. La
Bonte shot and killed him. His body
tumbled down the side of the canyon
TO where Markhead lay hidden in
some tall grass. Markhead jumped out,
drew his knife and took the Indians
scalp. Naturally, the Indians fired at
him but in so doing exposed them
selves to the other trappers' fire and
many an Indian bit the dust.
The Indians saw that they weren't
getting any place so they went down
the canyon and set fire to the woods
and brush to smoke the white men
out. The fire came roaring before the
wind. The only thing the trappers
could do was to mount their horses
and ride to the plateau above. AS
they reached the top, an Indian wav-
ing a red blanket rushed through
them and was followed by all the
loose animals Of the trappers including
Old Bills pack mules.
BY that time the men decided that
they had better separate Old Bill was
glad for the chance to get back by
himself again, and rode down into the
smoke. That was the last the party
saw of him for many day.
But Bill wasn't going to lose those
two mules of his that easy He waited
around under cover during that day
and when darkness came he carefully
followed back to the Indian camp.
They were dancing around the fire
celebrating their triumph. Bill wrapped
. buffalo robe around himself and
boldly walked into the camp and stood
the dance. He then quietly
cut the ropes tying his mules and
led them away as If taking them TO
water. No one paid any attention to
him. When he got out of sight, he
put rope bride on the nose of one
mule and rode into the darkness un-
molested.

In short time the hungry brood

Is indeed one of the most laughable

the slender stem separates from its

How the mother finally instructs
