BANK ASSETS HIGHEST
IN HISTORY OF u. S.

Comptroller of the Currency Pres
ton Delano reports that at the be-
ginning of 1910 total assets and to-
tai deposits of National banks in
the United States were the highest
in the history of the country. To-
tai assets of the 5000 National
banks were more than 35 billion
dollars. An increase registered in
loans and discounts rejecting eX
panding commercial activity.
The federal bank act which in
sures bank deposits is due in large
part to the big increase.

or Dry gl1lch This name, the Indians
| told me, at that time, dated frcxn a
fight there between two dig war uax-
ties Of Sioux and Crows who were at
tackled or vice versa, by P1egans
Blackfeet and BloOds. The battle wna
creek ran red as II fun Of blood, and
1t has been called Red river ever sincs.
After leaving Red river, the road
kept ON 10 what was called John Joeis
spring, and from there on to MIX
river. still going north, It crossed
Eighteen Mile coulee, continuing to.
Middle coulee north to Kipp,s couIee
Leaving Kipps coulee 1t went on until
1t struck st. Maryis between st. Mary,s
and the forks of Belly river. which It
forded at old Fort Whoop-Up, q branch
running up TO what is called Standoff
at the present time. This Is the first
wagon road which ever crossed the
reservation
when the mounted police came IN
1874, there was another road laid out
from Fort Shaw to Mcleod, a man
route.
TN 1866 landed in Helena with
an OK train that came from Nebraska
City to Salt Lake with merchandise.
There we unloaded and reloaded
with flour for Helena. 1t was In the
latter part Of September when we un-
loaded at Helena. Matt Carroll, George
Steele and Hubbell we're there to buy
the train to fill hay contract. This
hay was to be furnished for the Sol-
diers who landed where the Judith
river empties into the Missouri, 80
miles below Fort Benton. The only
place they could get hay was on Sum
river about where Ulm is now, 40 miles
from Fort Shaw. We had to haul #
from Ulm down to the Judith.

when left Helena with this train,
King and Gillette had received 8
charter to open toll road through the
Prickly Pear canyon where the Mon
tana Central now runs, and this train
brought down was the first train
TO run through the Prickly Pear can
yon on the toll road"
Speaking Of the origin of the name
Fort Whoop-Up," Brown said that it
was not to the interest of the large
firms In Fort Benton to have others
engage in the trade with the northern
Indians, and they had men employed
on the reservation to report those who
to cross it.
The 'afree lances' were forced to
make their preparations secretly, such
as buying the merchandise for the
Indian trade, which In those days
seems to have been chiefly alcohol OF
whisky, and, having loaded, they LETT
Fort Benton at night, often travelling
so miles or more without stop, and
'whooped 1t up for the border" From
this well known fact came the nams
Of the post.
James w. Brown was born Sept. 5,
184I, at Hillsboro, o., fought In the
Civil war, enliSting with an Illinois
regiment Goth Illinois infantry,
and served until July, 1884. He was
wounded at Fort Donelson, Shiloh and
Vicksburg, and was with Hancockis

On duty at Washington until February,

Selection Of the site. Of Fort
Macleod mounted police post In
Alberta, was made by Colonel Mac
ie0d on the advice of two Annerf-
cans who were living I'm that sec
! ti0n at the time, according TO the
late James w. Diamond r.
Brown, for many years q widely
known resident of the Blackfeet
Indian reservation. Brown himself
was one of the men and the other
was Charles Conrad. Brown at the
time was running a trading post
with James Kipp ON the Old Man
river in Canada and Conrad was
staying with him.
Word came to them that the mount
ed police were on the way to Browns S
post TO investigate reported selling Of
liquor to the Indians. Brown received
the word In ample time to cache his
stock of prohibited liquor, and when
Colonel Macleod arrived he found
everything all right.
Macleod remained all night at
Browns place and next morning, after
he had told Brown he wished TO es-
tabliSh post in that vicinity and
asked where a suitable location could
be found, he dispatched Conrad with
the colonel to the site where the fort
was later located and which proved
satisfactory to Colonel Macleod.
Road 20 Whoop-Up
The first road to traverse the Black
feet reservation in Montana ran from
Fort Benton to old Fort Whoop-Up In
Canada, according to Brown.
when I came to Montana In 1866,
the only road on the reservation was
called the Red River Half Breed Cart
trail, which ran from Edmonton TO
Fort Benton" he said. ut ran along
at the foot of the mountains ON the
east side just outside the timber. 1t
passed through Glacier national park
below the railroad station OF the Great
Northern It then kept along the foot
Of the mountains clear TO Fort Ed
montOn.
TN 1871 quite a trade sprung up
here between the Fort Benton people
and the northern Indians. Those Of
US who engaged in it at that time
laid out another road leading from
Fort Benton through to Canada. 1t
came UP the Teton about IS miles, then
left the Teton through the Knees and
went on to the Marias. 1t struck the
Marias little below where the Great
Northern railway now crosses that
river.
sTeaving the Marias it came up
Medicine Rock hin, as it was called,
and from this hill crossed the bench
to about where Shelby is now, and
down onto Alkan flat. It followed UP
the flat for is miles In q northerly
direction. when 1t left the fiat and
continued along what Is called the
Rocky Spring ridge.

From Rocky Spring ridge it ran on
north to what is known as Red river,
