tablish trading posts This expedition
/ the mouth of the Platte, Lisa mel
Golfer. Golfers fame had reached st
Louis in the meantime and Lisa knew
him for a Woodcraftsman of ability
He persuaded Golfer to return to the
northwest. Golfer led Lisa and his keel
boats to the mouth of the Big Horn
on the Yellowstone, where on Golfers
advice Lisa built his first post, which
he called Fort Manuel. This was the
first habitation of a white man to be
built west of Fort Mandan.
Trade Guns for Furs
His post established, Lisa sent Golfer
out into the Indian country to advise
the red men that the white traders
were ready to do business, and would
trade guns and goods and trinketS, all
dear to the heart Of the Indian, for
pelts and furs. With his pack on his
hack and carving his gun and am
munition, and perhaps some samples
of goods to excite the curiosity Of the
red men, Golfer Jared forth on his
walk of 1000 miles through the wilder
ness, the pioneer commercial traveller
of the northwest.
Out in the Jacksons Hole country
Golfer met a war party of Crow In
dams handwriting for the Blackfeet.
Golfer had been with Captain Clark
on the MariaS river when he had to
kill a Piegan, an ally of the Black
feet, so Golfer, who could not keep
out of a fight, cast his lot with the
Crows and in the battle that followed
the Blackfeet we're defeated. They at
tributed their defeat to the prowess Of
the white warrior who was fighting
with their enemies. Perhaps this Incl
dent following the tragedy of the
Marias, helped to start the 10 years
of warfare between the Blackfeet and
the whites.
In this fight Golfer was wounded in
the leg, and although the wound was
a severe one he continued his journey
in Lisas interests, travelling several
hundred miles, visiting various tribes,
and finally arriving at Fort Manuel.
1t was on this return journey that he
discovered Yellowstone geysers and
lake.
Blackfeet Were Hostile
There are many romantic stories OF
the exploits of Golfer, and perhaps the
most interesting one has to do with
a thrilling adventure, the scene Of
which was in the country where the
jefferson and Madison rivers, joining,
form the Missouri. This country was
claimed by the Blackfeet, who were
always ready to fight trespassers. Col
ter and man named Potts had es-
tablished a camp there and were trap
ping beaver. They knew Of the hos
tility of the Blackfeet, but the beaver
was abundant and they remained. One
morning the trappers were out on the
river in a canoe when several hundred
Blackfeet warriors appeared on the
bank A chief beckoned the white men
to come ashore. Golfer knew that It
was useless to attempt to escape, and
had just grounded the canoe when an
Indian seized Potts gun Golfer
wrested the weapon from the Indian
and handed it back to Potts. Potts

|RUSSELL'S WORK
MAY Be ON SALE

James B. Rankin Of Pasadena, Calf.
for several years has been engaged
in research work on the late Charles
M. Russell He states that there is
rlmor In Pasadena of the sale OF
paintings. bronzeS and modelings al
Trails End and expresses the wish
that Montana or Great Falls may get
these if they are sold.
Dawson's Of Los Angeles have bought
the Russell library and issued a cata-
log Of its contents Ellen Shaffer, who
prepared the catalog, says:
Charles Russell's library was as
modest and massuming as the man
himself. He was not a book collector
who sought limited and first editions:
his books were those which he pur-
chased because Of his interest In the
subjects they represented or books
which his friends and family gave him.
His library did not contain many books
which he himself had Illustrated
doubtless he had given them away to
an spite of the fact that we have
thus far given his library little pub
licity. many Russell collectors have
visited us or written us, and all of
them have acquired some of the books.
We regret that we can no longer offer
his copy Of How the Buffalo Lost His
Crown which had two original draw
ings, nor his guest book, nor many
other priced association items, for they
have became a part of the Libraries
of men who have admired and collect
ed his work for years. There remain
other books, however, which we feel
will be valued for their intrinsic in
tereSt and for their associations"
Joe DeYong, friend and protege of
Russell, designed the cover page for
the Russell catalog and wrote a char
acteristic appreciation of the artist.

10 AND 81 NAMED
MILITARY ROADS
IN THIS STATE

Highway No. 10, crossing the state
eaSt-west, and highway No. 81, running
north-south, have been approved by
the Montana highway commission as
first priority" roads In the military
network for Montana.
State Highway Engineer Howard w
Holmes said department surveys show
approximately $50 100000 win be need
ed to bring the two roads up to sug-
gested military standards from border
to border.
Highway No. 10, the Yellowstone
trail. will require approximately $685.
100000 and highway No. 81 about
$13,O00,0 900.
The military network was selected
by the war department.
The only major change from the
tentative system submitted to the
commission last fall was the inclusion,
at the suggestion of the Montana COM
mission, of the alternate No. 10 routes
through Helena and Butte. The east
west military route will divide at
Three Forks, pass through both Butte
and Helena and rejoin at Garrison.
The action by the commission com
pleted the selection of the military
routes, but the actual reconstruction
awaits adoption of final construction
standards and appropriation Of money
by congress for the huge program.
The commissioners, Winkler, John
M. Wheeler of Billings and Walter
Phillips and Holmes, said several pro-
poSals for financing the work are be-
fore congress but no definite mforma-
ton is available.

and as he did so was shot through
the groin with an arrow. He called
out to Golfer to save himself. "I'n get
one of them before die" he said as
he leveled his gun and shot an In
dian dead. The next instant ne was
shot through and through with a
dozen arrows.
Indians Seize Golfer
The Indians seized Golfer, who ex-
pected every moment to be his last.
They stripped him stark naked, and
called a council to determine the man
ner in which he should be put to
death Finally they decided that he
should run for his life: A chief con-
Quoted him several yards to the front
of the Indians and pointing toward
the Madison river, perhaps five miles
away, in sign language, told him to
run.
Golfer, who was speedy on his feet,
ran as he had never ran before, and
behind him over the prairie sped the
fastest runners of the Blackfeet ma
ton. Golfers moccasins had been
taken from him, and his feet were
bleeding from contact with the cactus.
When he had made about half the
distance to the river, and the blood
was flecking from his mouth In his
effort, he thought he could go mo-
further. He turned, and close behind
him was a solitary runner, far ahead
of the others. The Indian, who was
also nearly exhausted, attempted to
hurl his spear and in doing so fell,
the shaft of the weapon breaking I'M
der him. Almost instantly Golfer had
the spear and had driven 1t through
the body Of his pursuer. Golfer, In
telling of this exploit, said the killing
Of this Indian seemed to give him new
life.
''Dived" Into House
He continued his dash for the river
now hopeful that he might escape. Be-
hind him came the enraged savages,
made doubly ferocious by the killing
of their best runner. Finally Golfer
reached the river and looked about
him. Close to the bank was large
beaver house The beaver builds his
habitation with the entrance under
water Golfer, as a last resort, dived
into the deep water, came up under
the beaver house, found the entrance
and was safe.
When his enemies came, he was out
of sight, sitting tight in the beaver
house, and although the Indians beat
about the place for hours they did
not discover him. Late at night he
ventured forth, naked and without
food, and started on his journey for
Lisa's fort, which he reached, almost
dead from exhaustion, IL days later.
He had promised himself that he

Golfer, Naked, Won Race for Life

John Golfer was the outstanding
man of the Lewis and Clark ex-
DeditiOn after the commanders.
He was an adventurous spirit, con-
corning whose proves ana
achievements many stories were
told in the west of the old days.
When the famous expedition to ex
plore the unknown northwest was be
ing organized, Golfer enlisted unde
Lewis and Clark as a common soldier
and the Misunderstanding trip across INT
continent by these intrepid explorer
was to him a great adventure. He wa!
a frontiersman of the Daniel Boon'
type and because of his knowledge o.
Woodcraft and his devotion to duty
proved invaluable to the leaders o.
that undertaking.
Loved Western Frontier
On the return trip, when the eXpe-
dition reached Fort Mandan, Golfer
applied to Lewis and Clark for his
discharge. The arduous part Of the LONG
tourney to and from the Pacific was
about over, and all that remained u
negotiate the last leg Of the journey
was to float down the Missouri ano
Mississippi rivers to st. Louis Golfer S
co d record had won for him a high
place in the esteem Of his superlors,
and although they were surprised al
his request, it was granted. This was
IN 1906.
The upper Missouri river country
then abounded in peltry wealth, par
ticularly beaver, the pelts OF which
went current for cash in all the west
ern settlements. Golfer proposed to
remain in this paradise of the trapper,
with two frontiersmen who had fol-
lowed up the expedition, and trap 1ol
beaver. And when they turned ther
backs on Lewis and Clark these three
were the only men Of the white race
In all the northwestern country within
the confines Of what Is now the
United States.
Explored Upper Missouri
Much of the time alone and always
on foot. carrying his arms and pro-
visions with him wherever he Travelled,
Golfer explored the upper Missouri
country always going where no white
man had been before him, and In his
migrations discovered the Yellowstone
wonderland and the Big Horn river,
was the first white man to cross the
passes at the head of Wind river, OF
to see the country in which the Colo
RADIO river heads, and was first 10
penetrate the Jacksons Hole country.
When Golfer and the two trappers

went into the Yellowstone country.
They took many pelts that first winter,
and when spring came Golfer decided
to return to st. Louis. He built for
himself a dugout canoe, fashioned out
of log, and, loading part of his furs,
launched his craft and started on his
long Journey to civilization.
Golfer Meets Lisa
Fur trading in those days was one
of the first sources of wealth. and the
stories told by the men of the Lewis
and Clark expedition, when they re- I

tiles in the fur trade. had excited
many, and among others Manuel Lisa,
a man of some means, and who was
afterwards to become a noted trader. !
Lisa organized company and
equipped an expedition to penetrate
the upper Missouri country and es-
