By ERIC THANE

Fort Missoula, only garrisoned
post in Montana, was established
in 1877. The last major Indian out
break in the United States was in
1,600-mile retreat from his north
Idaho reservation to the Bear
Paws mountains in north central
Montana. Encountered by women,
children and a large band Of
horses, Joseph sought sanctuary in
Canada, where Sitting Bull had
fled after the Custer battle of the
previous year. His flight was I'M
marked by any brutality on the
part of the red men under his
command, but his presence filled
Montana with terror.
The Missoula country southwestern
Montana, as far north as Flathead lake
was not unaccustomed to Indian
alarms and welcomed the establish
ment of the fort. In 1855 Isaac /.
Stevens signed a treaty with the Sal
ish Indians who inhabited the country
of the Bitter Root south Of MiSsoula,
by which the Salish were to give up
their homes and move to whatever res,
ervation the government established
when the government decided that the
white man must have their land.
The Jocko reServation-now known
as the Flathead, but then named after
Jacques (Jocko) Finley, an early trader
was eStaDllSned ana the SallSn were
ordered to emigrate from the Bitter
Root to it. Chief Victor, the signer
of the Stevens treaty, had not fully
understood the significance of what
he signed; he died in 1870, and two
years later, when the order to move
came. his son Chariot maintained that
the treaty was invalid because of his
fathers ignorance, and refused to be
moved.
Chariot was overthrown by Arlee,
who was backed by a majority of the
tribe Arlee was in favor of moving.
He did so, but Chariot with a few
followers refused to leave his valley.
1t was not until 1891, after years Of
hardships, that Chariot and his ragged
band gave up their ancient home and
went to the reservation.
In the latter seventies. however, it
was feared they might cause trouble,
and the white settlers were apprehen-
sive of a bloody outbreak from them.
Maginnis Fathered Idea
Major Maginnis, congressman for
the district, was the man who first
urged the war department of the
United States to establish post in
the vicinity of the settlement OF Mis-
soula. When the war department re-

 Pan American Airways are mak- ing preparatiins to extend the pres ent provisional service between Seattle and Juneau, originally sehed- uled to be discontinued on Oct b. on through the winter months.

The Company's plan for the operation of high-speed non stop schedules from Seattle directly to Juneau and Fairbanks. in the In- terior of the Territory is dependent upon the completion Of the Airport Construction Program in Alaska, which will provide the necessary terminal facilities for this large high-speed equipment.

PhOSgene Gas New Weapon Feared In War
By Morgan II. Beatty AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21-Nhen The Germans tell you that they have a great surprise in store for use against the British. and che British admit the peak of air war is not yet. it adds up. for the military expert, 10 the probable Use Of poison gas in the near future.
 And you can bet one gas that's coming will be deadly, almost inFis- ible phosgeue.
 If che Germans use it first-and they were the first to use chlorine in the World war-air experts ex- peer they will drop it from the sky.
 The purpose would not be 10 dec innate the population IS so many people seem 10 think. but to spread panic and fear when panic and fear are already taking hold of the civil ian population.
 Phosgeue would be the fayorfte for this purpose for these reasons:
 1. IL is almost invisible. and therefore will have terrifying effect on civilians subjected to the first attacks People will appear 10 drop dead like flies for no apparent rea- son.
 2 IL is easy to store in bomb-lke containers and drop from the air
 3 It is highly adaptable to use in the British Isles al this season. be cause the atmosphere is often hay almost foggy. The thin white cloud Of the stuff will be invisible under these conditions. (Phosgene is no good in very wet weather. for water absorbs and dissipates if more rap idly than air
 l. The Germans know that he British population has been lax in their use of gas masks
 have if from Bell-informed mil itary observers that both the Ger mans and the British have big stores of gases for use under desper- ate cOnditions-the Germans for the peak Of their attack against the is- lands. and the British to use against land invasion.
 As protection. the British author ties have already distributed 30.O0o.000 gas masks among their people. They have rigged up th6us- ands of underground anti-gas shel- ters. One gas-proof subway shelter in London can house 5000 people
 Phosgene is ideal for the Germans 10 use at the peak or their air war because il has all deadly effects and mysterious presence attributed to war gases in popular fiction, and not because il is widely destructive Of human life. It disappears loo quickly 10 be of maximum value as 8 weapon against trained troops.
 But as a panic producer among civilians il is highly effective. Some experts figure one bomb of ehosgene would produce more panic and fear among civilians than 1o0 actual ex- plosive bombs.
 The stuff is a simple combination of ehlorine-the purifier you get in drinking water in minute quantities and carbon monoxide. IL is easv

One of the chief services of news
paper advertising to consumers is
that it denotes which merchants or
products are worthy of confidence.
Because newspaper publishers are
so jealous of their advertising col
ums and are quick to reject any
thing which does not live up to their
standards, readers know that if a
thing is regularly advertised in the
newspaper it is worthy of their con-
fidence.
As matter of fact, the appear

with 6,156 in 1890, figures released by
Allen j. Doran, supervisor of the CEN
sus for the Grand Rapids district, re-
veal.
The figure for 1910 is preliminary and
subject to correction, Doran stated It
IS believed doubtful that many persons,
if any, were missed during the count,
but in view of the fact that the popu-
lation has gone down it is quite i'm
portant that local people who have not
been counted or know of anyone who
has not, that they notify Mr. Doran at

Results Of the census are a bit
surprising and not at all in line with
the predictions that Ely had grown by
400 to 1000 persons.
The cause: Well, it apparently is
because the size Of the Ely family has
decreased. As one Ely man put It, out
Of three boys and three girls in his
parents family, now all married and
old enough to have sizeable families of
their own, there are not as many
children between them as the old folks
had.
Births here during the 3O's totaIed
964 and deaths 400, an increase Of 495.
The increase, however. was not large
enough to offest the number who moved

people just aren't here" which is as
good way as any of explaining the
situation without giving it a thorough
