cattle business in the Deer Lodge
valley.
incidentally, besides being famous
for its blooded stock. the Deer Lodge
valley, is noted historically, being the
first location for a band of breeding
ewes in the United States.
Drove Band From California
In 1875 a Mr.. Burgess drove $500
head of sheep from Red Bluffs, Calf ,
to the Prickly Pear valley to spend
the winter. In the spring he started
east. intending to profit by a gold
strike in the Black Hills, but just then
the Indians OF Yellowstone county be-
came more truculent than usual, and
on June &c that year they massacred
Gen. George Custer and his men.
BY then Burgess was in the heart
of the trouble country" so when he
found Gen. G. w. Miles building VIM
ter quarters for the Fifth infantry at
the mouth of the Tongue river, he
built log cabin and made himself
at home where Miles City later was
founded. For several years afterward
Burgess sheep supplied the infantry
with mutton.
In 1888 the completion of the North
ern Pacific railway vastly improved
transportation facilities. and thousands
of sheep were brought here from Ore
gon, California and Washington. Herd
erS then we're paid $50 or $40 month:
sheep we're shorn at 6 or 8 cents a
head; wool sacks were sold for 80 cents
each, and wool was sold for Is to l8
cents. Profits we're good. Feed was
ample and winters were mild, and the
real growth of the industry was pre-
cipitated.
BY 1901 there were more than g.
100000 sheep in Montana. Montana be-
came the leading wool growing state
in the union, and in both 1904 and
1905 produced more than 100000
pounds.
In 1906 c. NJ. Bair of Great Falls
produced the largest single clip in
North America, which yielded more
than 100000 pounds. ]. B. Long of
Great Falls produced the second larg-
est clip that year.
Wool prices have fluctuated more
than those of any other commodity.
From 1891 until 1895 adverse legisla-
drop to about 100000. Wool sold as
low as cents a pound.
When Montana was second in sheep
and wool production in 1886, 3,688,OOO
sheep produced 30,343,0 900 pounds of
wool. which made an average of 9.3
pounds for each fleece. The average
price for wool was 81 cents a pound.
Merinos and Cotswold, with the Cots
void dominant, and the fine Ram
bouillet and Hampshire which have
made the Deer Lodge valley famous
among Sheepmen throughout the world.
The Williams and Pauly firm of Deer
Lodge has sent blood from their flock
to II states and 2 foreign countries.
Guy Stambaugh. manager of the Deer
Lodge Farms Co. OF Deer Lodge, some
time ago introduced a big, smooth
Rambouillet with a long. staple fleece
which is now popular throughout the
United States and several foreign coun-
tries. In 1881 Stambaugh sent several
rams and ewes to the agricultural COL
lege at Takuba, China, and in 1896 he
sent some to the Chinese government.

Peter Pauly Sheepherder,
New Leader i'm Industry

From Sheepherder to one OF the ma
tons leading woolgrowerS-that is the
record Of Peter Pauly of Deer Lodge,
who came to the United States from
his native Basque country of France
81 years ago.
At the recent state convention of the
Montana WoolgrowerS association at
Helena, Pauly was one Of the most i'm
portant figures. He is a past president
of the association, and known as one
of the leading American Rambouillet
breeders in the United States.
Pauly was born on Christmas day
1871, near Sarrance, France, in the
Pyrenees. He came to the United States
as a youth of Is, and obtained his
first job rs a sheepherder on Christi
mas day, 1889, on ranch in the Milk
river valley, near Chinook. He herded
sheep for three years and nine months,
saving his money so he might go into
the sheep business for himself.
By 1888, Pauly had saved enough to
buy 1000 head of sheep, which he be-
gan feeding in the fertile Deer Lodge
valley, where he became associated with
the late Senator Charles H. Williams
with whom he went into partnership.
Williams died a year ago last August.
With increasing experience, Pauly
became a recognized expert in the

Stole Rides AS a Youth
On Railway He Now Heads

There's always a first time for any
thing and when Henry Alexander
Scandrett stole a ride on the blind
baggage of a Milwaukee railroad pas
senger train back in 1885 he didn't
know it would be his first connection
head as president.
Born at Fairbault, Mimi, April 8,
1876, Scandrett attended elementary
school as a young boy and spent his
spare time thinking of things that
would give him fun when he wasn't
working at odd jobs to earn spending
money.
Those were the days when even sons
of substantial citizens didn't get 4
weekly allowance and when there was
a strawberry social at the Episcopal
church or the circus came to town.
Henry remained at home unless he
had the necessary funds to pay his
way.
Henry had his best fun at the old
swimmin' hole. near the spot where
the Milwaukee road tracks crossed
those of the old Great Western rail-
way, half mile from town.
Stolen Ride 4 Big Thrill
Exhausted after a day OF diving and
playing in the water sans even a bath
ing suit, Henry and his boon COM
panions waited for the early evening
Milwaukee passenger train to stop at
the crossing before pulling swiftly into
the station at Fairbault
AS the train stopped, Henry climbed
onto the blind baggage and rode into
town, thus establishing a connection
with the railroad which he was to
guide to new heights of achievement
in a streamlined era of regeneration
for railroads.
Recalling the incident, scandrett
said:
1T didn't matter that the distance
from the railroad station in town was
greater than that from the swimming
hole to the family dwelling. 1t was the
thrill of the ride that mattered and
it was more fun than anything I ever
did in my kid days
Sometimes Henry had a session with
his conscience over blind baggage rid
ing, for he was under the influence of
a religious training which came from
his maternal grandfather. the Rt. Rev.
Henry Benjamin Whipple. first bishop
of the Episcopal church in Minnesota.
His Father Was Probate Judge
His father, Henry A. Scandrett, was
the towns leading insurance man and,
in addition, served as judge of the
probate court. Hence, the family was
exceptionally well known to all the
and that was all the more
reason why the boy had to see to it
he was never discovered cumming
ride on the railroad
Graduation from elementary school
brought Henry to the Shattuck Military
at Fairbault in 1890. where he played
on the schools football team.
Entering the University Of Minnesota
in 1894. young Scandrett went out for
football in his freshman year and
himself as a right end.
He played the full four years in college
and starred in a number of games. His
reward was the captaincy of the team
in his senior year.
Graduating in 1898 as a bachelor of
laws. Scandrett continued his legal
studies and in 1900 was awarded the
degree of LII. B.

.MONTANA'S SHEEP
INDUSTRY VITAL
STATES LAMB SURPLUS WOULD
PROVIDE YEARS MEAT FOR
SEVEN CITIES
Deer Lodge Valley Produces More High
Quality Rambouillets, Hampshires,
Than Any Other Section of U. S.;
Ample Room Left for Ranges.

Montana's rise to a place Of pri-
mary importance in the sheep in
dustry. and the vital importance Of
that industry in the states econ
omy. is traced in a recent bulletin
published by the Montana Wool
growers association. Interesting
facts cleaned from this bulletin
follow:
The Deer Lodge valley produces more
high quality registered Rambouillet
and Hampshire sheep than any other
section Of the United States. Mount
Haggin Hampshire range rams from
Montana for more than 20 years have
topped the national ram sale in their
class. The Mount Haggin show flock
has been a consistent winner at
Americas leading sheep shows for
many years.
This supremacy is the result of
years Of toll, careful breeding, scien-
tific care Of the animals, and favorable
natural conditions.
Ample room for sheep ranges lies
in the states total area of 146,572
square miles. Montana Is 535 miles from
east to west, and 275 miles from north
to south.
Seventy-five percent Of Montana,s
approximately 500 900 residents live in
communities Of $500 or less.

THIS MAN KEEPS

LARS ANGvICK OF SHERIDAN
PRACTICES CONSERVATION
ON Sls-ACRE FARM
Uses Contour Farming, Strip Cropping
and Crop Rotation to Get Maximum
Production With Minimum of Fro
sion and Soil Depletion.

Adoption of conservation prac-
tices designed to hold raindrOps
and snowflakes where they fall, is
aiding in the control of wind and
water erosion on the farm of Lars
Angvick in Sheridan county, says
NJ. p. Hansmeier. extension con-
servationist at Montana State col
lege.
Angvick is keeping his soil at home
on his 817 acres Of tillable land with
contour farming. strip cropping and
plant cover in the form of stubble and
stalks he is further protecting the cul-
tivated acres.
Protection for his garden and farm
buildings is provided by an excellent
shelterbelt. Caragana, elm. ash, Rus
sian olive, spruce and other trees form
barrier that IS practically impene-
trable by weeds. In winter months the
trees cause high drifts OF snow to be
piled in their midst, and when it melts
in the spring it provides moisture to
keep the trees growing during the hot,
dry summer months.
Feed crops such as crested wheat
grass and sweet clover, Angvick has
found, are valuable for soil and mois-
ture conservation. These feed crops
are used for maintaining a high class
dairy herd and other livestock.
In carrying out his complete program
of erosion control. Angvick is CO.
operating with the Montana extension
service. the soil conservation service
and the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration. His farm is one of SO
demonstration farms in the state on
which soil and moisture conservation
practices are being demonstrated.

breeding industry His favorite sheep
was the American Rambouilett and be-
leving that this breed was the best
for Montana purposes. he set about
building up his flock. Early in his
career he made trip to Michigan and
Ohio and brought home carload of
registered Rambouillet breeding ewes.
With this foundation stock the firm of
Williams and Pauly made rapid strides
TO become one of the best known in
Montana.
Now a veteran who knows practically
every sheep producer in the Treasure
state Pauly nevertheless carries his age
well and is just as Spry as his younger
contemporaries in the wool business.
Three years ago he suffered a broken
neck in an automobile accident and
for IL weeks wore a plaster cast from
his head to his waist-but that injury
doesn't bother him any more.

or 81 sheep and lambs for each square
mile.
Montana produces about 100000
pounds of lamb each year, and Mon
tanans consume about 5 percent of
this and export 95 percent.
Montana's surplus lamb would pro-
vide a years meat for every man,
woman and child in Chicago, Boston,
Washington, D. c., Philadelphia, De-
troit, Cleveland and Baltimore.
1t is believed that the first sheep
brought into Montana were in band
of II which Thomas Harris purchased
valley. Harris defied the traditional
feud of cattle raisers and sheep raisers,
because he also owned IL cattle, and
he is said to have MIXED the first
COW and shorn the first sheep in the
Montana territory.
LOO Head in 1865
The territorial auditors report shows
that in 1865 there were 100 sheep
assessed at 81 a head in Madison coun-
ty. and 60 assessed at So a head in
Lewis and Clark county Also in 1865
the Catholic fathers brought 300 from
Oregon, hoping to make sheepmen of
the Indians, but the Indians didn't like
the idea. SO the sheep were driven to
the Prickly Pear valley.
The late David Hilger often recalled
herding those sheep when he was 10
years old. Coyotes and other predators
took all the joy and most of the profit
out Of the sheep business, however,
SO the animals were sold to Helena
butchers.
First Ranch Near Dillon
John F. Bishop of Dillon established
the first permanent sheep ranch in
Montana in July, 1869, when he went
with Richard Reynolds to The Dalles,
Ore, to buy horses. but found the
price of horses so high he decided to
take $500 head of sheep at $3.50
head instead. He and Reynolds were
on the road until Nov. IT. driving the
sheep over long, torturous route to
the Beaverhead valley.
The wool from this flock was the
first sold in Montana Col c. A.
Broadwater, noted Helena pioneer,
bought it for 10 cents a pound
Two years later Adkin w. Kingsbury,
Thomas A. Ray and Maj. w. Daven-
port bought 1900 head at Walla Walla,
Wash. These were the first stock sheep
purchased west of the Rocky noun
tains. In 1875 the three men took their
flock to the present site of Great Falls.
Meanwhile. in 1873, these same three
men, like Thomas Harris, defied the
somewhat over-emphasized. tradition of
p-and-cattle feuds, and established
