Mrs. Jennie w. Chowning
Retires as Postmistress

Mrs. Jennie w. Chowning. who has
been postmaster at Ennis for more
than 40 years, was placed on the re-
tired list by the postoffice department
Jan. 81. She passed her 10th birthday,
which IS the retirement age for post
masters under the new law which lists
them under civil service rules.
Mrs. Chowning was commissioned
July 81, 1893 succeeding her father,
William Ennis, founder of the town,
whose death occurred that year.
Ennis was appointed postmaster
when the office was first established
in the early eighties and served con-
tinuously until his death, when hts
daughter succeeded him. The post
masterShip has been in the family for
nearly go years to the entire Satisfac-
ton of the patrons of the office, and
Mrs. Chowning has served more than
Al years Of that period
Her daughter, Mrs. Winifred Jeffers.
who has been assistant postmiStress
under her mother for number of
years, has been appointed acting post
mistress to serve until a successor Is
appointed. Examinations for this APP
pointment were held by the United
States civil service commission in
Bozeman, Feb. 3.
The Ennis poStoffice was of the
fourth class until 1928, when the busi-
ness had increased to such an extent
that 1t was advanced to the third
class and today it is one Of the lead
ing offices in the county.
Mrs. Chowning has made a record
as one of the most accommodating
and efficient poStmistresS IN Montana,
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1940-02-24

always willing and anxious to serve the
patrons OF the office and continually
performed little acts of kindness.
Recently an elderly gentleman called
TO see If package he had been ex-
pecting for several days and was long
overdue had arrived. and when Mrs.
ChoWning informed him that II had
not, his face clouded with diSappoint
ment
But said Mrs. Chowning. Il wrote
to the firm about it several days ago
and We should hear from them in
day or two"
She had voluntarily written about
the package when it failed 70 arrive
on time thus performing an act of
Kindness and a service, one OF many
which has endeared her TO her patrons
and neighbors.
The Ennis postoffice was operated
in connection with the Ennis general
store until about 1929. at which time
the northeast portion Of the store
building was partitioned off for the
exclusive use Of the postoffice. and
here the office is still located.
Mrs. Chowning's parents, the late
Mr.. and Mrs William Ennis, were resi-
dents of Denver until the fall Of 1852,
when Mrs. Ennis went to Oneida, o.,
to be with her family while her hus-
band came to the Madison valley to
seek a location for their permanent
home He located a ranch there and
on the day in 1853 that Mrs. Chowning
was born at Oneida, o.. he filed on
the townsite of Ennis, which has been
the family home ever since

at this post that Chardon kept his
journal Later he Is mentioned in other
journals as being at Fort Mckenzie
six miles above the mouth Of the
Marias river in Montana. The trader
died at Fort Berthold In 1913.
One of the interesting characters
who appears in Chardon,s journal of
1887 IS Toussaint Charbonneau, hus-
band of Sacajawea. BY this late date
Charbonneau was in his seventies, but
he was still doing the work Of young
man and Chardon describes his fire.

groups.
On Monday, June %, 1887, Chardon
made the following entry:
Sent Charbonneau up to the Gros
Ventures to collect some newS-A small
war party of Rees left here today to
steal horses at the Pawnee village. I"
From that point on Charbonneau ap-
pears frequently in the journal, al
though by this time Sacajawea seems
to have left him or had died. In the
journal Chardon mentions the death
from smallpox of both of Charbon-
neau's Indian wives of that time, but
If either of these had been SacaJawea
her name probably would have been
noted.
On Wednesday, June IS, Chardon
noted the arrival OF tire steamer that
brought the smallpox TO the Indians:
IS. B. arrived from above at q. m,
and started at a. m. The agent dis
tributed out a few presents to the
Rees, and gave them few words of
good talk, and departed. Charbonneau
arrived from the eros Ventures. No news
in that quarter Shower of rain and
hail, heavy thunder and lightning"
At the months end Chardon gives the
Of rats killed during the month
as 81, and the number for the year
TO date as LIT.
Drank 70 Jackson's Health
Although the trappers and traders
we're largely Frenchmen and were far
from civilization, they celebrated July

for that day: Drank glass of good

The journals Of John James
Audubon, the great naturalist, who
visited the region that is now
North Dakota and eastern Mon
tana IN 1913, contain a vivid ac-
count Of the smallpox epidemic
that Swept over the tribes Of the
upper Missouri country In 1887.
Amdub0n's was 3 secondhand ac-
count, bat he had heard the story
from one Of the few white men
who were among the Indians when
the disease brought death TO so
Ra@ny-
H. M. Chittenden has also given us
3 complete story Of the scourge in his
book, 'sThe American Fur Trade of
the Far West" The Chittenden story
Is based on early day reports OF the
tragedy.
In 1890 there was brought to light a
bound manuscript giving a first-hand
account of the smallpox epidemic Of
1897 This rare find was the journal
Of Francois Chardon, a fur trader,
and the very man from whom Audit
bon had received a word-of-mouth de-
sciption Of the terrors of the epidemic.
The original of the Chardon journal
Is now IN the manuscripts division Of
the Library of Congress. It Is interest

q period of which there Is not much
record. Chardons literary style was
not all that it might have been, but
ne was ObServant. His day by day rec
ord of the summer and autumn Of
1887 builds up a moving picture of the
panic among the Indians, attacked by
the invisible enemy, smallpox. The
Mandan tribe was almost wiped out
and their suffering and grief at the
loss of relatives drove many of the
survivors to suicide. The little band of
whites at the fort where Charcon had
charge faced two dangerS-diSease and
the wrath Of the Indians. The tribes
men blamed the white men for bring
ing the dread disease, and they were
right in this suppoSition; for the small
pox among the Indians dated from
the stop of the steamer st. Peters on
its spring trip.
Lived at Various Posts
During his 20 years on the upper
Missouri, Chardon was at one time or
another a resident at all of the famous
early day fur company forts. In the
1888 journal of Prince Macmillan,
Chardon is mentioned as a clerk at
Fort Union, a post at the mouth Of
the Yellowstone river. In 1884 ne
moved to Fort Clark, a post SIS miles
up the river from the present site Of
Bismarck, N. D. It was while he was

Teeth Sought for
Rabies Quarantine
Law in Fl Centre

Teeth for the El Centre RABIES
quarantine ordinance will be asked
by health authorities at the city
council at its next meeting.
Dr. Warren F. Fox, county and
city health officer, said he was
informed that the present ordl-
nance did not delegate the health
officers sufficient authority to I'M
pose a 90-day quarantine of all pets
if such a thing should become nee
essary. He planned to ask the coun-
ell to amend it.
Discovery of two rabid dogs IN
FL Centro recently led to a study
of the ordinance so 1t could be
used to impose the quarantine II
necessary.
Because we found no other rabld
dogs since the two a week ago.
Fox said Saturday. it was not
necessary to use the ordinance.
However. I understand it will be
necessary to amend the present or
dinance so we may use 1t in the
future should the need arise

SRA Relief Load
Migratory Camps
ponu.aiion Cut

Alien registration. the draft. and
employment under the defense pro-
gram Saturday were credited with
cutting down the SRA relief load
and reducing the number OF dwell
ers in federal labor camps in I'm
perial county.
The SRA relief tctal Saturday
was SO families while n year ago
the total was 500 families and TWO
years ago was 2Cc families. The
families usually on the rolls at
this season are employed, Director
Ned Holmes said.
At the federal labor camp at
BraWley only 10 families we're liV-
ing there Saturday. On a cores
pending date a year ago 30 families
lived there. At the Iabor camp at
Calipatria Saturday 85 families
camped there. A year ago the total
was 1l0 families.
Most of the families usually oc-
cupying the camps in November
and December are employed in the
cotton fields of Arizona on in the
