Crack of BulIwhacker's Whip Was Music to Pioneer
Ears BUT Is Song No Longer Heard on Hill or Plains

The crack of the whip ard the
yell of the bullwhacker have long
since faded from the Montana
scene, along with the golden shout
that echoed from Last Chance
gulch, but the lusty tradition Of
the men who blazed the VESTS
commercial trails retains its stout
SAVIOR. Much has been said of the
western badman. Of grim Vigil
lantes, and of gold-jammed mother
lodeS waiting in rugged hills.
Somehow, the men who toiled be-
hind the stubborn launches of Jug
head mules or Flooding, Indifferent
oxen, have been left pretty much out
of the picture. Maybe they lacked ro-
nance.
For romance never moved behind a
string of long-earS.
1t took strong hands, and a lot of
che nebulous quality called pioneer
spirit. And, now and then, it took
rich flow Of profanity designed to
penetrate placid mule saturninity.
They called it "cussedneSs."
A man on horse looks better than
q sweating muleSkinner or bullwhacker
with a cud of tobacco and a heavy
along the trail in the long run.
They Got Through"
Over parched prairie and hub-deep
gumbo, the bullwhips song rolled
across the plains. In streamlined 80
it is a tradition with airmail pilots to
get through" Bullwhackers did the
same thing In SO. 1t just took longer,
for they had Indians to fight, trails to
blaze and weary-footed animals.
Sometimes buffalo herds held them
up. Buffalo numbered then thousands.
The old-timers respected the bull
whacker. 1t was no amateurs job to
the tortuous, slow grind across sere
prairie required a man with patience.
Lusty men they were, with lusty ap-
petites and lusty jobs
Yet of all colorful and traditional
figures nutured and raised by the west,
the bullwhacker alone has entirely dis
appeared. We still have cowboys, In
dians, miners, stockmen. Even bad
men.
Picture of a Bull Team
Inasmuch as the bull team is on a
par with the dodo, here is a deScrip /
ton of the rigging as written in an /
account some years ago:
"A bull team consisted of 8, 10 or +
II pairs Of oxen travelling in company. |
The gear was of the simplest wooden /
yokes often fashioned by the bull I
whacker himself from native timber; /
oxbows Of bent hickory and chains I
extending from the lead yoke to the /
wagons were very cheap in comparison
with the costs of harness and other
gear. The cattle had an estimable adj
vantage over horses and mules in
that they were not likely to be stolen

/ ket conditions rental fees go up and
In a year following poor conditions the
fees go down. As an example, basic
fees set for grazing cattle and horses
on the Beaverhead national forest In
Montana-accomm dating more do
meStic livestock than any other ma
tional forest in the northern Rocky
mountain region-range from Is to 81
cents per animal per month. For sheep
and goats on the same forest the basic
fees range from 81 to Sd cents per
animal per month.
Five Factors Considered
Five factors which account for the
wide variation In maximum and mini
mum fees on the same foreSt-and on
different foreStS-are accessibility of
the range, topography, watering IA
cilitieS, number and Serviceability of
range Improvements and character Of
forage.
AS levied annually after market con-
ditions had been taken into effect,
region l forest service records show
that in 1889 only 80 percent Of the
basic fee was charged for grazing
cattle and horses; and for grazing
sheep and goats only rs percent Of
the basic fee was levied.
In contrast, rejecting the greatly
improved livestock market of 1897 the
cattle and horse rental went up in
1898 to 1O3 percent of basic fees and
the sheep and goat levy increased to
"a percent. Likewise following de-
Ginning market in 1898, the 1899 rent
ais have fallen correspondingly to 90
percent of basic fees on cattle and
horses and 70 percent Of basic fees for
sheep and goats. Total returns from
grazing fees charged in the IL national
forests of the northern region during
the last fiscal year amounted to $142,-
940.48.
To avoid monopoly and insure inn
partial ALLEGATION Of the national for
est range each permittee is limited as
to the maximum number Of animals he
can Craze. The day of the cattle barons
and sheep tycoOnS largely passed with
the winter of 1885. The 100000 cattle
to be grazed on the national forests
this summer are divided among more
than 100 owners. Likewise per1mittees
given ALLEGATIONS for the grazing of
SOC, 900 sheep number In excess of 400.
Reduction In the size Of herds has
far-reaching beneficial effects. An
credit TO present-day
stock growers of the region is the
fact that by careful breeding and con-
structtve Cooperation In application
Of range management programs the
quality Of local cattle, lambs and wool
has become famous in markets
throughout the world. Breeding stock
developed in the northern Rockies has
been sold to livestock growers in many
foreign countries.

LEVYING FOREST

VARY IN DIFFERENT RESERVES
BUT ALL BASED UPON THE
SAME SYSTEM
Changes Are Advanced in Year Fol-
lowing Good Market Conditions and
Lowered When Opposite rs True in
Order TO Establish Just Cost.

Fees levied for grazing stock in
the national forests vary greatly
from forest to forest and from
range to range. But the method of
determining fees on all forests and
all ranges is the same. In early days
of national forest range use an
arbitrary rental was charged but
this was unsatisfactory for a num-
Der of reasons. Prior to 1881 ex-
tensive range appraisal work was
done on privately owned ranges and
from these appraisals q basic fee was
arrived at, which Is sti1 In effect. With
basic fees set rentals to be charged
each year are arrived at through adj
3ustment with market conditions for
meat and wool

service as draft animals could be fat

"a bull team Of let us say 10 oxen
furnished the motive power for three
wagons having short trail tongues
shackled up to the rear axle of the
wagon ahead. The bullwhacker was

But it wasn't all plodding along be-
side oxen, or perching on lead mule,
and sometimes tragedy struck the bull
whacker in strange ways.
Take, for example, the story of
little FTenchman named Boston Joe"
Joe came up the river to Fort Benton
and decided to do little bullwhack-
ing. He bought a span Of mules and
began in small way. Business pushed
along and pretty soon he had IL
mules. When he began to make money
he decided to send for his little daugh-
ter who was being cared for in Canada.
His wife had died.
Tragic Ending
AS the little girl neared the end Of
the long trip to her father, Benton
Joe was moving load of black powder
for Montana miners who were busy
gouging gold from the earth. Joe be-
gan his trek, singing merrily behind
his II sturdy mules. AS he travelled
one can of powder began to leak upon
a brake-Sf1oe of the wagon. 1t dribbled
downward and struck spark The
powder began to burn, the mules,
sensing danger, began to plunge.
Joe hit the ground running, the
screams of terrified mules In his ears.
But he only made 800 feet when the
roar Of the explosion caught him. The
next morning the Benton Helena
stage rolled along and found Benton
Joe, dying and calling for his little
girl who had landed at Fort Benton
and was awaiting his return.

The board of directors of the
Montana WiIdlife federation de-
cided at a meeting held recently
! to send a resolution to Senator B.
X. Wheeler asking him to sponsor
bill apprOpriating 100000 to be
spent for game conservation on
federal reclamation projects in
Montana. The directors also ex-
pressed thanks to Senator Wheeler
for his work on behalf Of the fedora
ton last year.
Next annual meeting Of the fedora
ton viii be held In Billings on dates
to be announced later.
Another resolution requested the
state fish and game commission to
provide a state migratory waterfowl
refuge on Brown and Kleinschmidt
lakes in Powell county and a special
committee was named to redraft a bin
for submission to the 1871 legislature
designed to change the method OF Sc
lecting members Of the state fish and
game commission. A similar bill was
killed at the last session.
The directors drew these suggestions
for presentation TO a fish and game
fact-finding commission named re-
Gently by Gov. Roy E. Ayers:
l. A survey Of game refugees to de-
termine If they are serving the purpose
for which they were created
2. A study of fllr-bearing animals
to see If trapping Is netting full re-
turn to the state.
3. A plan whereby deputy game war
dens might be better trained in game
management.
4. A study of the Sun River elk herd
range to see If fences are needed or
whether the state should buy addition
al land in that area.
5. A study of the Sun River and
Flathead elk herds to see If ranges are
sufficient.
6. A survey Of sheep shipped from
outside the state to Craze on Montana
ranges.
z. A study as to whether dates Of
fishing seasons are correct and not
interfering with spawning seasons.
All large sportsmen's organizations
in the state were represented.
The directors said wildlife fedora
ton stamp sales so far this season
were ahead of sales for the correspond
ing period in 1888.

Fair Anticipates Biggest
Success Of History in l.v.

A new administration building
increased exhibit space and a larger
horse barn were included in addi-
tons at the Imperial County Fair
during the past year in an effort to
make the 1899 show the greatest
in the ten year history of the an
nual event, Ben Hulse, fair board
president, announced Tuesday.
Encouraged by the outstanding
success of the fair in the last few
years, and particularly in 1898,
Hulse predicted this years show
which runs from March 4 to u.
would smash all previous attend
ance and exhibit records.
The new administration building.
considerably larger than the former
offices, was constructed because of
increased interest in the fair last
season and anticipated boosts in at
tendance and entrants this year,
Hulse said
Larger exhibit space was neces-
STATED by early demand for booths
and the bigger horse show forced
construction of additional stalls for
the animals.

tertainment for fair visitors. The
valley pioneer museum, which will
occupy the former administration
building, will attract a share of
interest.
More than 200 delegates to the
International Four States Highway
association convention in Brawley
will attend the fair on the closing
day, Hulse reported.
Every day at the fair will be a
