Wild Horse Island Sold

Announcement has just been
made of the purchase of Wild
Horse Island in Flathead Lake by
Lewis Penwell of Helena.
The island is about four square
miles in area and lies some twelve
miles from Poison and seven miles
from Dayton On the mainland. 1t
lies entirely within the Flathead
Indian reservation. The purchase
includes the dude ranch on the
island formerly known as Hiawa-
tina Lodge and formerly owned
by Mrs. Clara Ellington. now of
Los Angeles. The purchase of the
dude ranch was made jointly by
Mr.. Penwell and George W. Pad
bury. Jr., of Helena.
A set of ranch buildings will be
erected on the south side of the
island. and the entire acreage
will be operated as a ranch to
breed and train blooded saddle
horses.
The resort on the east side of
the island will be operated as a
dude ranch. 1t is being completely
renovated, the most important
change being a new dock, ten
feet wide and extending seventy
feet into the water. All the ORR
ginal boats, without exception,
have been discarded, and new
boats purchased, including a
150-h. h. Chris Graft launch
which carries eleven people at a
speed of thirty-fve miles an hour.
Other boats have been purchased
to make quick trips to the main
land and to provide for the new
and popular sports of aquaplan-
ing and water skiing.
The island has an interesting
history. Old Flathead Indians say
that before the whiteman came
the Blackfeet would cross the
mountains through what is now
Glacier Park and steal their
horses. AS protection, the Flat
heads would swim their horses
over to the island. This prevented
their being stolen. but they had
their greatest difficulty in round
ing them up later. In fact, there
were some which they could not
get at all, 50 that they became
utterly wild - hence the name
Wild Horse island. In later years
the Allards and the Pablos used
the island as a range for their
buffalo, which they afterwards
sold. and these buffalo became
the foundation for the present
American herds.
On petition of the owners. the
entire island has been declared a
game and bird preserve by the
Montana Fish and Game Com
mission, and is being stocked with
deer. elk, mountain sheep and an
telope. as we'll as game birds.
There are already on the island
some native deer and perhaps
more native blue grouse than in
any other locality in the state.
By some biological quirk it is
one spot that Is entirely free
from ticks. mosquitoes and poison
GUS snakes.

THE COURT FOLLOWS
COMMON SENSE RULES

Couched in legal phraseology this
week was one of the soundest bits of COM
mon sense yet delivered by an American
court in dealing with the Wagner Act
and its spoiled child, the National Labor
Relations Board. 1t was a decision by
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in
which the court pointed out in effect
that a man has right to refuse to join
a labor union, just as he has a right to
join one.
1t seems strange that in all the reams
of things written by the courts, by the
labor board itself and by other official
bodies about the Wagner act and the
rights, privileges and duties granted by
it, that one simple fact has never before
been so succinctly stated.
Possibly one reason is that the labor
board has not wanted to have it stated,
and so has steered clear of cases in which
it might become an issue. The labor
board as it is now constituted, judging
from all evidence available at this time,
is not particularly interested in employees
as individuals, nor in their individual
rights. The labor board wants, above all
else, to encourage and sometimes even
to force membership in the international
unions, particularly the CIO.
SO stepped in the left-wing doctrines
OF the ClO mas the TABOR board become,
it appears, that its members have either
forgotten or refused to recognize that
there are employees who do not want to
join any international union. There are
some who want to form their own union.
There are some who want no union at
all
If the Wagner act is to be fair to all,
it must recognize the rights of these
employees, along with the rights of those
who do want to join an international
union Otherwise il becomes nothing
more than legal aid to recruiting by
high-pressure union organizers. Up to
now, it has been just that. In view of
growing public opinion favoring its revi-
sion, it is to be hoped that congress
changes the act along fairer, more i'm
partial lines.
Every man should have the right to
join union, but no law, nor any agency
created under the law, should be able
to force him to join a union if he does
not wish Collective bargaining through
union is a right, not legal stipulation
that must be met by every man before
he can get a job.

IT COSTS YOU MONEY
TO WATCH A FIRE

Both Ell Centro and Brawley residents
have demonstrated in the last week how
their own thoughtlessness costs them
money.
In Ell Centro a series of false alarms,
each of them calling out the fire depart
ment as if for major blaze, cost the
public approximately $50 each-for that
is the cost of run by the department.
In Brawley, a disastrous fire that
damaged five business firms might have
been controlled, and damage kept to
minimum, if the people who raced to
watch the blaze had not hindered the
efficient Brawley department, which was
there to fight the fire. To the business
firms involved, and so to the city as a
whole, the resulting loss was serious.
The people can help their fire depart
ments, and save themselves considerable
money in business and in their tax bills,
by cooperating with the departments in
stead of hindering them.
1t is simple matter of economics.
Help the fire department and you save
money. Hinder the department, and you
lose it,

The Mennonites in all their branches

set up their sons on farms of their own.
Under these circumstances they have

asking the advice of any bureau in Wash

Famous Sayings
Willis Thorntons Editorial On
Renovatinq the Defense Machine

No matter how hard Americans
try! they can't forget there's a war
in Europe. One can't be casual about
it. 1t peryades all our national life.
It hangs over us like persistent
ghost, and it's pretty hard to shrug
your shoulders at q ghost.
For little while before the pre-
sident sent his budget message to
Congress, people in this country
were beginning to look at the war as
something purely objective, some
thing associated with the United
States only remotely. The Christmas
season helped tn hat feeling
along q little. We were sympathetic
toward Finland, contemptuous of
Russia. We sighed when the Graf
Spec sunk off the coast of Uruguay
and were grateful that the whole
nasty incident didn't happen in
some United states port.
Even though the war scene was
brought closer to our front door
much of the fataism concerning
our eventual involvement had van
ished. We had come to. the con-
clusion that the war wouldn't touch
us and that We needn't worry about
It too much.
Then the, president submitted his
budget. Almost every item was clip
ped except one-national defense
The chief executive asked an appro-
priatiofl of $1,000, 100000 for de-

tOngue-tled young man VINO coulont
have made speech to save his life.
On one occasion, the man who
was to introduce the big gun fall
ed to appear. j. Will Lysons was
called on. He was SO scared he
couldn't even pronounce the mans
name. If someone had told him
that some day he would be able
TO address an audience, he would
have thought the man crazy.
A change came into his life. He
moved to New York, became cir
culation manager of The Elks Mag
azine and became tremendously in
terested in the work the Elks were
doing for crippled children. j. Will
threw himself into this Work-with-
out pay He sympathized deeply
with the unfortunate children. He
was trying to raise money for them,
and wrote pages OF publicity.
One night he accompanied
speaker who told about children,
and so touched the hearts OF his
listeners that $4,000 was collected.
j. Will saw something that he had
never seen before. That the spoken
word was ten times as powerful as
the written word. A thought stole
into his mind IF l could make
speech I could do more for the
crippled children than by writing
about them for month" The au-
dacity of the idea made him trem-
Bile. But he was so heart deep in
the cause that he decided to try
even If he died on the spot.
He made another decision. He
would not walk onto the platform
unframed, so he took course in
public speaking. He was one of the
most hopeless persons in the Glass;
The firststime, he spoke one SEN
tence and slumped into his seat.
Meantime the class director had
learned that he was tremendously
interested in crippled children ana
called on him TO talk for three
minutes about them. j. Will got TO
his feet. Here was something vital
to him. He had seen hundreds oil
crippled children. He knew their
story. and he talked-the shortest
three minutes he ever knew. There
was a round of applause How old
do you think he was? Seventy! Yes,
he made his first public speech at
10!
I saw him the other day. On his
desk were thirty requests for a
speech at different clubs and or
ganizations. He has won four speak
ing contests. 1t has Transformed his
life. He now likes to speak. He is
power and influence in his own cir
Gle. He is no longer the T1mid Man
on the Back Row, the envied man
on the platform. He has developed
power and self-confidence.
other people can do this, too, If
they only think they can. To learn
TO speak in public opens a mage

NEW Low IN LYNCHlNGS
christian Science Monitor)

End-of-t -the-year records reveal that
there were only three lynchings in the
United States during 1889. While that
was three too many, it was the lowest
number on record. Annual reports COM
piled by the Commission on 1nterracial
Cooperation in Atlanta and Tuskegee
Institute in Alabama disclose that the
number has dropped steadily decade by
decade from the peak of 231 in 1892. Of
the persons lynched last year, two were
Negroes and one was white.
1t is profoundly gratifying to con-
template evidence of the passing of
lynch law, or, as it should more accur-
ately be termed, lynch lawlessness. The
1859 recorded lynchings in the United
States since 1882-they have occurred
in the North as we'll as the South-have
been a dark blot on the national life.
While the expansion of law enforcement
agencies in recent years has been a ma
jor contributing factor in reducing mob
violence, much credit is ascribed by the
Commission "to religious and civic agen-
cies which have crusaded against it."
This has brought the force of more
enlightened public opinion to bear. All
Americans will hope that even the all
time low Of three in 1889 will be beaten
by a clean slate in 1910.
