board in Northampton, Massachusetts,.
Before his election Hoover was de-
feated for the presidency. Franklin D.
Roosevelt lost the presidency in
1920. Monroe, minister to France, was
also recalled. Even though these men
hlet with defeat when seeking minor
office, yet they continued their fight
and won a greater victory-the presi-
dency of the United States.
According to the ages attained ii
appears that the earlier presidents of
our country lived longer than the later
ones. The average age Of the first
six presidents was 70, while that of the
last six is only 81.
1t is presumed that John Quincy
Adams has the longest public career
! of any man in American history. He
witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill
when only nine years old. After serv-
ing our country as President he was a
L
member of ongresss with Lincoln who
was 81 years old. John Quincy Adams
was the only President to die in the
Capitol He was about to address the
Speaker of the House when lie fell
with stroke.
Out of the fourteen presidents who
have served cur country since 1869
seven were b6rh in the State of Ohio
Among them wah President Taft, who
was born in Cincinnati. 1t is interest.
ing to note that Ohio's Senator Robert
A. Taft. who lists his home address as
Cincinnati, is being considered for the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dental campaign in l94us

pairing to take care of record attend
ance at the big celebration this year.
The occasion assumes more than
ever an aII-M0ntana aspect this year
because Of the fact that Governor
Ayers has proclaimed July 2 as aIl-
Montana day commemorative the 50th
anniversary of MOntana's statehood,
and has designated Livingston as the
principal center for the observance.
The governor himself viii be in at
tendance.
The old town will be wild from the
moment Governor Ayers starts the ball
rolling by leading the big parade down
the main streets on the morning Of
July Q. From then on there win be ex-

ANCIENT MEDICINE
GROUND IS FOUND
INDIAN CEREMONIAL SITE DIS
COVERED BY EVAN JONES OF
FORT BENTON
Tepee Rings and Old Roasting Pits,
Athletic Field, Mystery Wheels and
Buffalo Licking Stone Are Among
Visual Remnants Centuries Old.

What is believed to have been
an ancient Indian ere mon a /
ground has been discovered in the
rolling hills of the prairies be-
tween Great Falls and Fort Benton
by Evan Jones, student of Indian
lore and languages, who resides at
Fort Benton.
Jones converses fluently in several
Indian tongues and Is adept IN use
Of the sign language. For many years
he had been studying Indian customs
and legends.
Last summer he discovered what he
believes Is a ceremonial grounds bor-
dertng on coulee.
Knowing what one has In mind to
look for" Evans said, "one can find
many remains of old ceremonies con-
Quoted on the grounds. From what
have been able to get from Indians
old, because they do not remember
seeing them or hearing their parents
talk of them.
II found many tepee rings-of stone
and old roasting pits where whole
carcasses of buffalo were roasted. APP
parently the coulee was the very center
of the buffalo grazing grounds, for
PECULIAR SCOue VI DIdCk C0iO1 anu cL1O1-
mously heavy which believe was used
as licking stone by buffalo is found
on the margin of the coulee.
An Athletic Field
Another interesting feature Is q
plot Of ground margtned with stone
which may have been an Indian ath-
letic field where the warriors and
braves held their games. such as arch
cry, foot races and wrestling.
"fT1hAY there ara the sites Of r11QCi-
cine houses and along with them are
two old medicine wheels-a central
pile of stones with stone Spokes radt-
ating to stone rim so to rs feet in
diameter.
Prom the evidence left by the circles
sun dance lodges in the center Of the
great tepee circle and farther on are
evidences of other old ceremonies,
which as yet have not had the OPP
portunity to study. The adjacent area
shows evidence Of once having been
the site of a lake, well watered and
ideal for such ceremonies.
I have been hoping this could be
made into state park If my deduc-
tons concerning the evidence left
on the site Of the ceremonial grounds
are right"
Recently a group of interested per-
sons visited the site. Included In the
party were Darwin Harbicht, Fort Peck
engineer and widely known paleontolo-
gtSt; Lee Ford, Great Falls banker,
whose collection Of arrowheads Is be-
lieved to be among the most extensive
in the state, and Earl Heikka, Great
Falls sculptor and painter.
Harbicht Is Interested
Harbicht said the coulee evidently
had been used for an Indian village
site and the number Of tepee rings
made it apparent there had been q
large number Of Indians camped there.
He expressed interest In the buffalo
licking stone mentioned by Jones and
the stone had attracted the animals,
the smoothly worn edges and curves
made that theory plausible. He said
the composition OF the stone was what
attracted him, as 1t was unlike any
in the vicinity

NEW SPEED LAWS

55 MILES AN HOUR TO BE LIMIT
ON NIGHT AUTO DRTV-
ING IN STATE
Trucks Not to Exceed IS After Dark;
Highway PatrOImen Are Being Given
Instructions as to Enforcement Of
Statutes.

Two new laws relating to speeds
and reporting of accidents, which
were enacted by the last legislative
assembly, become effective July
/. One of these laws provides that
any person driving more than SIS
miles an hour at night shall be
automatically charged with reck-
less driving.
Highway patrolmen in the various
districts are being given instructions
and information concerning the new
driving laws and Lou G. Boedecker,
patrol supervisor, and other officials
recently conducted a one-day school
ing session for patrolmen in division
No 3, at which details Of the measures
were outlined.
The state speed law specifics pru-
dent and safe speeds on a graduated
basis and establishes a flat 55-mile
maximum for night driving. The law
further provides that trucks shall not
be operated In excess Of IS miles an
hour.
Under this measure the patrol super
visor has authority to establish four
zones, providing for 20-mile, 30-mile,
45-mile and 55-mile speed limits The
zones are to be marked and likewise
the speeds must be designated.
The 55-mile limit at night was par
ticularly objected to during the legis-
lative assembly For a first conviction
a person may be sentenced to serve
from 10 to 80 days in jail or fined not
more than 500 or required to pay q
fine and serve Jail sentence. A second
conviction may be punishable by fine
of from $25 to 500 or a jail sentence
Of from 80 to 30 days or both a fine
and Jail sentence.
The last assembly also passed uni
form accident reporting law. This
measure requires persons involved IN
accidents to stop at the scenes of the
crashes and to notify authorities. Fail
re TO comply with the regulations Is
punishable by fine of from 500 to
5000 or imprisonment for not more
than one year or both fine and fail
sentence.
This law also provides for accident
report forms, which viii contain min
ute details concerning accidents to
permit determination Of accident fac
tors. The reports are to be confidential
and not used as evidence In any trial,
civil or criminal
