Unknown to Marcus DAILY
Money Aided Irish Rebels

iastic and generous supporter of Irish
rebellion against England, and the
English finally revenged themselves
when they burned her home in 1921
after she had been found guilty OF
harboring rebels.
Honor DAILY was the only one of
Marcus Days brothers and sisters
who did not follow him to the new
world Marcus DAILY came to America
in 1856. and after he began to acquire
riches in the seventies, his family came
to America, one by one, until only
Honor was left in the old country
Marcus DAILY did everything in his
power to pursuade the maiden sister
to come to the United States. but she
was adamant Therefore, DAILY pro-
vided for her handsomely, so that the
woman who had once been among the
poorest residents of the town of Derry
lea, Ireland, found herself woman of
Importance in the community, with a
fine home in the style of the landed
gentry.
Miss Days financial situation might
have made her one of the group OF
Irish who were sympathetic TO Eng
land, but her heart was still with
those Irishmen who had fought and
are still fighting the bitter battle for
Irish independence. Her brother, Mar
Gus. was so generous in providing for
her that she had surplus funds TO
help the Irish cause, and she did not
hesitate The Irish rebels had placed
their hopes in the uprising planned
for 1921, and it was during this revolt
that the British Tommies expelled Miss
DAILY from her fine residence and
burned it to the ground. Until the day
of her death in 1926 she aided the
rebels in every way she could. One
of her nieces, daughter of Marcus
DAILY. was a Hungarian countess, but
Honor DAILY had cast her lot with Irish
tenant farmers when she was a girl
and she stayed with the cause to the
end.
1t was Honor Days fine home. pic
lures of which were circulated in the
United States, that gave rise to the
story that Marcus DAILY had come OF
a family of comfortable farmers who
had quite a reputation as horse breed
ers and trainers" This home was an
acquisition of Miss Days latter years
When Marcus DAILY was boy the
family was very poor, with not always
enough food TO feed the II children
The saga of Marcus Daily is one which
will never again be repeated. for il
was a story OF rags to riches that
could only be associated with a from
tier region such as the west was in
Days time. Such frontiers no longer
exist. Immigrant boys who arrive now
from the otner side find a very differ
ent America from the one Marcus DAILY
knew.
The amazing thing about Marcus
Days story is the fact that in Mon
tana today there is nothing to show
for all the millions he took from the
richest hill on earth" Some point tC
the mines and smelters as monuments
to Days empire building genius but
they are things that would have de-
veloped whether he had come to Mon
tana or not. Most rich men leave be-
hind them museums, libraries or other
contributions to the cultural life OF
the community. Today the only real

Short Lived Mining Boom
Once Stirred Glacier Area

then appointed postmaster OF this new
mining town of Allyn, which was To-
Gated just across Swiftcurrent creek
at the entrance to Cracker canyon.
1t did not take long for other places
of business to get under way Sam
Somes built large log hotel. Saloons
and eating places were soon too numer-
Gus to mention. Adam g. Thompson
of Choteau had the largest and best
drinking emporium. Allyn became a
wide open mining camp. Percy De
Wolfe had slaughterhouse nearby on
Swiftcurrent creek.
There were large number of tents
On one occasion bunch Of Indians
and mixed bloods had become reckless
after drinking too much "firewater."
They rode their horses into the sa-
looms and shot up the places, then
roped the tents and pulled them down
After they had their fill of what they
called good time, they beat it for
the reservation. They considered they
the wild and woolly west.
Haggerty Bros. and others were OPP
Grating freight outfits between the
Great Northern railroad and the new
mining district. Joe Kipp had the mail
contract and was operating an old
time six-horse Concord stagecoach be-
tween Browning and Allyn.
1t took good driver to handle a
stX-horse team on that mountain road
which was not much more than a
trail in those days. Upon one occasion
the stage upset on "hogback," rolled
over and landed at the foot of the
hill. The passengers were spilled out
but no one was seriously hurt. Upon
another occasion a freight wagonload
of dynamite went over the same hill
and was scattered all over the hillside
but did not explode.
At the peak of prosperity Allyn has
a population of around 300, but it was
short-lived. Harris met with a serious
accident while being lowered into a
shaft on his property and he never
recovered. Esler died at the Cracker
mine from a heart attack The big
| deals" that were pending did not ma
terialize. People began to drift out
OF the district and it was not long
before the Allyn postoffice was thing
! of the past. However, before the end
came some of the boys sold Their
claims.

sold to Caroline Lockhart, a famous

PECK RESERVOIR
AIDS NAVIGATION
NAvIGABLE CHANNEL IN LOWER
PORTIONS OF MISSOURI
NOW MAINTAINED
Upper River Now Has Flow of About
10000 Cubic Feet Per Second, While
Flow in Midsummer Was Only $3.50
Before Dam Was Built

The Missouri river, which in past
years normally would have been
flowing about $3.50 cubic feet Of
water per second, now has a flow
of about 10000 cubic feet per sec
ond directly below the Fort Peck
dam. The man-made control gate
on the river has averaged a mean
discharge of approximately 15,340
cubic feet per second, or nearly
ll5,OOO gallons every second for
the last two weeks. government
engineers said. This large flow
from the reservoir is necessary to
maintain a navigable channel in
lower portions of the Missouri
The large spring discharges by the
Yellowstone and Milk rivers made II
possible to store large amounts Of flood
waters of the Missouri river in the
Fort Peck reservoir.
From Jan. /, 1910. to June 90, the
surface level of the reservoir rose
488l feet to elevation 2,128.43, equiva-
lent to about 1-1eth of the reservoir
capacity. The maximum rate of in
the estimated inflow registered APP
proximately 18.400 cubic feet per Sec
ond. From June the rate Of inflow
decreased steadily until on July ii
reached a low of 1910 cubic feet per
second.
The simultaneous decrease in flows
OF the Yellowstone and Milk rivers
have neceSsitated a gradual increase
in the discharge from the reservoir
On July 81. the surface level of the
reservoir had dropped about eight feet
and at present is lowering about half
a foot each day.

that the wild" reports of leaping
geysers were the truth. When dissent
ing senators were shown the Jackson
pictures they changed their minds and
voted yes.
Following his success in Yellowstone.
Jackson went back to the west to
photograph Indians and the results OF
this expedition are now treasured pos
sessions of the bureau Of ethnology at
Washington. There are more than 1000
negatives in the Indian collection
alone. Jackson returned to the Mon
tana region in 1873 TO photograph the
magnificent scenery of the Gallatin
range.
Upon his retirement from the gov
eminent service in 1881. Jackson went
to Denver to open a photography
studio. and during his stay in that
city he had opportunity TO photograph
the boom towns of Leadville. Cripple
Creek, and other rip-roaring camps
To photograph the wonderful scenery
of the western mountains he had a
special camera built, camera that
took a picture 20 by "a inches. His pic
lures made him a good income, for
that was the age OF stereoptican cards
and every American parlor had its COL
lection Of Jackson scenes. His thou
sands of negatives, in addition to those
in the bureau of ethnology, are kept
at the geological survey office in
Washington and the Edison institute
in Detroit.
He Becomes Painter
At Co. when most men are ready to
retire, jackson quit photography and
took up color printing. business in
which he made a great success for q
quarter Of century. Then he retired
again and became painter and pen
and ink artist This is the work he
is still engaged in. Five years ago,
when he was 80, he was commissioned
by the national park service to make
a series of paintings which now deco
rate various national park museums.
He finished this commission and took
others which will keep him busy for
another two years. He has made many
journeys TO the west and will visit Vel
lowstone park again this summer when
he comes west to be a guest of the
state of Wyoming for its celebration
of so years of statehood.
The Times article, which is Illus
trated by several of Jackson's Yellow
stone photographs, concludes with the
following paragraph:
He is history, this man who knew
the west when it was young. And he
is geography, for his name has been
given TO mountain, butte and canyon.
But most of ALL he is photographer
He not only knew the high country
and the far places when they were
still a land of rumor and mystery;
he photographed them and made them
a known part of the vastly more mar
Vicious America that is majestic
reality"
