Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1940-02-02
By ELMO

Fifty-seven years ago the cur
tain rose upon a mining camp
stage for the enactment of
many-sided human drama. Hope,
struggle, despair, chicanery and
self-immOlation were depicted our
ing more than half a century In
which the world moved on toward
its destiny. Few but the players
themselves were present to witness
the performance.
Until the past five years, isolation
was almost complete. Only for a Few
brief months of summer were mdlffer-
ent roads open, and even they were
mere trails scratched out along water
courses in the mountains. With rail-
roads and civilization less than 60
miles away, the isolation was as COM
plete as 1t ever was in Bannack and
Virginia City when Salt Lake City and
Corinne were Railroads for the first
miners.
The stage was Cooke City.
And ]. P. Allen is the last OF the Or
iginal players.
With the death of Peter Branser in
November, 1899, Jack" Allen is left
as the only living man who can speak
with the authority OF personal contact
with the whole play.
The curtain rose in 1882, when the
Crow Indian reservation boundaries
we're removed eastward from the nortn-
east corner of Yellowstone park,
throwing the Cooke area open to set
Element and prospecting.
Venturesome prospectors had spent
several years setting the stage, 1t Is
true, but 1t was in 1882 that the cur
tain rose for the lifelong drama that
is now being ended.
George Huston was apparently more
Of an adventurer and explorer than
a miner. Among the vanguard into
Virginia City, he started out in 1864 to
find out what was in the mountains
to the east Traversing part OF what
is now Yellowstone park, with Peter
Moore and others. ne visited the Cooke
region and found traces of minerals.
Indians Were Obstacle
The upper Clarks Fork valley was
frequented by Indians, and they were
hostile White men found the going
tough in that country. After the
Huston expedition but few ventured
into the Cooke country until 1870,
when Horn Miller, Ed Hibbard and
Bart Henderson went that way and
found float ore on upper Soda Butte
creek, now in Yellowstone park. In
dian dangers forced them to leave.
But the next year others came, and

Taxpayers Denounce
'Subsidizing' Of Circus

The charge that the circus which
closed three-day stand here last
night was partly subsidized" by
District taxpayers was made yester-
day by the Washington Taxpayers
Association, which pointed out that
the management paid only $3.50 for
the use of Anacostia Park, as COM
pared with $4,000 rental paid in past
years for the privately owned lot at
Fifth street and Florida avenue NE.
Special police protection alone
cost the District over $2,400 in SAL
aries for the officers, the association
said. The association estimated the
circus took In some 100000 during
its six performances here, including
side shows, Wild West shows and
sale of programs, lemonade, peanuts,
etc.
IF the circus is allowed to 20 on
public property and compete with
private owners" the associations
statement said, ut should be made
to pay fee in some relation to the
amount it would pay If playing on
private property"

School Certificates
 For CCc Camp Pupils
Enrolment Voluntary Announces Director; Ambitious
 EnrOIIees to Be Awarded With High School Credits

'sThousands of eco boys now con- tinue their studies while in camp and receive credit toward their ele- mentary school certificates or high school diplomas" according to John w. Studebaker, U. S. Commissioner of Education. "This accrediting of COG subjects has been made possi- ble through cooperation between the COG and the various State de- partments of education"
 "Enrollment in eco camp class es Is voluntary" Howard W. Oxley, Director of eco Camp Education pointed out today. After an en- rollee works out of doors eight hours a day, he must have a very real arn- bition to cause him to study at night. The curriculum in camps, acc cordingly, is very practical. It is built around the interests and needs of individual enrollees.
 "Accrediting of eco subjects pro- vides an Additional incentive for these boys to remedy their educa- tional deficiencies. If a course in ar- ithmetic or English, taken while in camp, can be accredited at the boys grade school or high school back home, he may decide to continue his studies when he returns home. If an erlrollee earns an accredited eighth grade certificate or high-school di- ploma while in a eco camp, he stands a better chance to get and hold job when he leaves the Corps"
 Courses offered in the eco vary according to the interests and needs in each camp. Subjects offered in many camps are: Typing, blueprint reading, spelling, language usage, truck driving, safety, photography, arithmetic, and American citizen ship.
 Need
 Few people realize that the CCC has taken on a job of elementary teaching. Out of 100000 enrollees last year, $500 boys when they entered camp were illiterate. Since the beg inning of the eco more than 80,000 boys have been taught to read and write while in camp.

Economic Collapse
 Threatens---Walker
Tide Running Strong for AutOcraCy, But International
 Turmoil Has Not Shaken Foundation of Our Faith

We live in desperate times an every newspaper, almost every mag azine, and many of the brOadcastS we hear repeat the same refrain. these are days of crisis and tranSi- ton" stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walk CT, pastor of the Second Congrega- tional church yesterday morning in his sermon, "No Stronger Founda- tion."
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 The old orders are passing away a new order is being born into the world. For many this is time of disilluSionment and bitter pesSim- ism. The Honorable Francis B. Sayre, former Assistant Secretary of State and now, I believe, High Commissioner for the Philippines, summed up the world situation by saying Fear of the future haunts every land. Human liberty, democ- racy, parliamentary government, freedom of speech, freedom of con- science, tolerance, faith-these, in important parts of the world, have ceased to exist. Today the tide is running strong for autocracy and dictatorship for censored speech and writing, for riotouS intolerance, for crasS materialism, Economic collapse threatens on every side"
 In such times the Church of Christ has these two great and es- sential messages, illustrated and epitomed by te two clocks. Like the old kitchen clock we say, 'Time is ileeting. This is the day of decision. Work for the night is coming" But like the old grandfather clock we must also say, "Time is long. Truth is everlasting. Be still and know that I am God" We repeat with Abraham Lincoln, 50 still it must be said. The Judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether, Y"
 Let us thank God and take cour- age in a day like ours for we have the true foundation and that none of this economic, political, or inter- national turmoil and revolution has shaken the foundation of our faith. Indeed all these things have but revealed its strength and Solidity. Men and women who have built their lives upon the eternal founda- tion m Christ have no need to fear. And some there be in our genera tion who have given us the most amazing proof of their lack of fear.

BY THE OUT EASTER

A real Out Easter went out of existence the other day with the death of James J. Bloomfield, brother of Stephen J. Bloomfield, acting deputy chief of the Wa terbury Fire Department.
 Jim was a member of one of our old line families. The Bloom field family lived on Silver street in the old days, and at 8 time when the various family groups were made up of the Cosses, the Farrells, the O'Connors, the Kanes and the Slavins. These families comprised about all then living on that street, between old Dublin street and East Main
