 Chairman William Verriker ex- pressed his regrets, and said. we are sorry to see you go, and your rec ord has been shown as a fine officer"
 A leave of absence of months was brought up by the board as suf- ficient, rather than retirement. Lieut.. Mulville said that he could take 2 three months leave with pay but if at the expiration of that time he did not feel well enough to go 10 work, he would again request re- tirement. He was informed that any leave would have to be without pay, and he then said he would retire. His retirement will become effective Saturday. A lieutenant's pay is $2,700. He will receive half of that as his pension.

 Lieut.. Mulville's letter to the board expressed regret that he was leaving after more than 25 years of service but that his health was poor and was steadily growing poorer, that it was an utter impossibility to do his du- ties. He expressed his thanks to the members of the board for their couftesies shown him.
 The board brought up the question about the interruption of two years in the service when he was called into the army in the last World War. The opinion of the corporation counsel was asked as to whether he could be pensioned. The provisions in the charter require 9 years of continuous service. According to the statute in the charter and backed by Atty. Gen. Francis Pallotti, Lieut.. Mplville's war service could be in-

along the line of march in paradeS | is not accidental. The Scouting pro- gram is designed specifically to make better citizens of ordinary boys l and leaders believe that the best way to do that is to practice the Scout motto, "Be Prepared" until it becomes part of the boys lives.
 In the matter of first aid and life | saving, for instance, training starts almost as soon as the 12-year-old is enrolled. To advance from tender foot rank he must learn the rudi. | ments of bandaging and treatment; by the time he becomes . full. l fledged First Glass Scout he is req. | Sonably expert in artificial reSpira- tion, transportation of the injured | adn what to do until the doctor | arrives" From that point he goes on to earn merit badges in advanced first aid, life saving, swimming and more than 100 other equally useful subjects.
 Because of this emphasis on serv- ing the community in every way possible, the Boy Scout movement in the 90 years of it's history has prepared some 9O00,O 900 bosy and men for emergency service. The field is far broader than first aid. Frequent camping and hiking trips into the woods give Scouts 8 feeling of self-reliance that is invaluable in 1 the pinches. As a part of his Scout | experience the Scout also learns 1 how to take charge of unorganized | or panicky crowds. And the constant | stress on Americanism makes him an excellent model for more adult | citizens.
 Because of their tradition of serv- Ice, Boy Scouts during the World War were able to perform hundreds | of useful tasks. In addition to sell- ing $l47000, 900 worth of Liberty Bonds, Scouts collected more than 100 carloads of fruit pits for gas masks, and located 10000, 900 board feet of walnut for the infant avia- tion industry.
 Parallel to the current national defense program, the Boy Scouts are launchicng their own drive to prepare themselves to help the goy- ernment. Each neignborhood Troop is working to build up its member ship to the full quota of 32 Scouts, and to acquire such equipment as ropes, bandages, axes and lanterns for use in an emergency. Plans for quick mobilizat tion-both with and without the ald of telephones-are being worked out aild practiced. h. dividuully and in Patrols" the Scouts are striving to become inti-
 nately acquainted with their home communities. Tn many places, Em- ergency Service Corps have already been fIrmed from the ranks of old- CT Scouts. Their job is to be pre- pared to do the more involved or difficult work for which younger boys are not yet equipped.
 The national program has an in- ternatioaial aspect, too. Among re- cent alrivals from beleaguered Eu- ropean natic1is have been many Boy Scouts. These lads almost invariably want to be come associated with American Troops. and arrangements have been made to welcome them.

of It's reserve and threw open to set
| tlement all of the land east Of Tongue
river and consequently Milestown
moved TO its present site and became
Miles City.
A short time after the new arrivals
reached Fort Keogh, 1t was larger than
Miestown The estimate at that time
was a population OF 1900 at Fort
Keogh.
Several pitched battles occurred dur
ing the first winter at the fort-the
first between Indians. Some Sioux ar
rived from the east for the purpose
of trading at the new fort. AS they
entered the enclosure a group Of Grow
Indians, friendly TO the government
and employed as scouts, sprang at
them, chased them just outside the
fort and killed them all.
General Miles remained at Fort
Keogh until the fall of 1880 when he
was transferred, and during that time
not only was the Fifth United States
infantry stationed there. but troops
from the Second and Sixth cavalry
and the 22d infantry also.
At the turn of the century. the regu-
lar army post was abandoned but SOL
diers of the regular army remained
there and Fort Keogh became re-
mount station where horses we're pur-
chased ana trained LOT caFaIy 9Se.
During the World war Fort keogn
was most active In this respect. At
that time Miles City was rated as the
largest horse buying center in the
world and officers Of the British,
French, Belgian and other allied coun-
tries gathered there TO buy cavalry
horses. Fort Keogh saw hundreds OF
range horses trained within its con-
fines for army use.
At the end of the war the govern
ment turned the reserve into a range
and livestock experiment station,
boarded up the windows in the large
residence buildings that surrounded the
parade grounds and in which once
lived the officers and their families
and turned the barracks into admins
tration offices.

Famous Army Post Once Hive of
Activity, Now Has Rural Atmosphere

Historic Fort Keogh, two miles
west of Miles City near the juno
ti0n of the Tongue and Yellow
stone rivers, once q hive of military
activity, has slipped into the realm
Of the commonplace, writes e. G.
CovingtOn I'm the Billings Gazette.
Established for the purpose of
quelIing uprisings among the Sioux
and north Cheyennes, tribes that
on June 25. 1876, had united with
others and annihilated part of the
Seventh United States cavalry un-
der the command of Gen. George
Armstrong Custer on the Little
Big Horn river, the old army post
has since gone through several
transformations
From an active army post out OF
which rode Gen. Nelson A. Miles to
capture at Bears Paw mountain the
renegade Nee Perces under Cnlef JOS
eph and again to the Lame Deer
country to capture Crazy Horse and
Iron Star, hostile red men, whose i'm
prisonment ended active Indian war
fare in the west, the army post was
transformed after the turn of the pres
emit century into an army remount
station.
After the World war it became a
government range and livestock expert
ment station and while 1t stu retains
that title, it has discontinued many
of its primary activities and keeps but
a small force where once soldiers, sup
ply wagons, Indians, scouts and nVe-
stock teemed.
Within the last two years it has
housed the national youth administra-
ton training school for eastern Mon
tana, but that, too, has gone. Some
draft horse breeding stock remains,
some experiments are carried on with
swine breeding and the remainder OF
its activities are conferred upon range
reseeding, irrigation. weed and erosion
control and surveys as to the animal
unit carrying capacity of the range.
