About 50 years ago while on q visit
TO the F1athead Indian reservation,
the late Gov Joseph M Dixon, then
congressman at-large from Montana,
met Mary Clark, the granddaughter
Of Capt. william Clark, Of Lewis and
Clark fame, and induced her, upon
a promise Of IS in money, to later
come to Missoula TO be photographed.
On July IA, 1905, a full hundred
years after her grandfather had
passed through western Montana upon
his great trip of exploration to the
Pacific coast, Mary appeared IN Mis-
soula with her husband, Chooho-
Min AEilth-Chi, and showed up at
Congressman Dixon's office In that
city.
Dixon called a photographer and
took the pair outside where the sunny
side OF brick building served as the
background of the picture Mary in
sisted upon the congressman appear
ing In the picture and to satisfy her
he stood between Mary and her hus-
band while the photographer shot the
trio.
At that time Mary was to all ap-
pearances at least so years Of age,
hale and hearty. She had been &C
companied to Missoula by her daugh-
ter, Lucy, from their home on the
reservation near Arlee, and they spent
over an hour with the congressman,
telling their history and producing
proofs of their identity and their con-
nection with the great explorer of the
northwest
Mary was the daughter of Tzi-Kai-
Tzae, who is considered by practically
all the Montana historians to have
been the son of Capt William Clark
and Nez Perez Indian woman. Til
Kai-Tzae was at one time familiar
figure in western Montana and had
been seen on various occasions east
of the Rockies while engaged with
others of his tribe on buffalo hunts.
He had yellowish hair and claimed

part Of September, 1905, while on their
way westward, and that on their re-

June 10, 1906. Langford accordingly
confined Clark's possible association
with the mother Of Tzi-Kai-Tzae to
either one or both those short periods.

edge, had ever combatted the idea that

that this Indian must have been the

AUTO DEALERS
LOSE DECISION
TO LOAN COMPANY

| First round in the war between
Great Falls automobile dealers and
loan companies which sell reposseSsed
cars in competition with them went
to the loan companies.
Warden Dudley Jones of the state
prison. ex-officio registrar Of motor
vehicles, wrote Attorney General John
w. Bonner that the motor dealers had
demanded that the automobile deal
ing loan companies be required to take
out dealers licenses. He wanted to
know If the loan concerns had to get
such permits. Bonner held they did
not
From a reading of the statutes" he
said, 1T believe that the motor vehicle
act was primarily intended as a police
regulation and that the term dealer
as defined therein applies only to
persons who are primarily engaged in
the business of buying and selling
automobiles, either new or second
hand.
IT do not believe that a person who
acquires title to an automobile by legal
process, such as in the foreclosure of
a mortgage or by writ of execution,
is a buyer of the automobile as the
term buyer is used in the motor We
hicle act.
Neither do I believe that a person
or corporation engaged in the bust
ness Of loaning money and who, in
the collection Of a loan, acquires title
to an automobile can be said to be
in the business Of buying, selling or
exchanging motor vehicles. However,
If such loan company takes in a car
in trade, it would then be dealer
and would be required to have a
license.
cit is therefore my opinion that any
person or corporation whose primary
purpose Is the loaning of money and
who secures title TO an automobile in
the process Of collecting the loan Isl
not a dealer as defined by the motor
vehicle act and need not have the
licenses provided for IN order toI
sell the said automobile"

The first boom in the sale of farm

The rise in value of farm lands and
rapid increase IN sales Of these prop
critics already has caused anxiety
among some who remembering World

leaders have urged lenders who serve
farmers to go easy on credit extern

Trupper's Trails Led to Danger,
Adventure During Eurly Days

Joseph L. Meek, Rocky mountain
trapper and hunter in the employ Of
the American Fur Co.; companion Of
James Bridger; one of the party who
buried the remains of Dr. Marcus
Whitman, pioneer missionary, and his
wife, who were killed in the Cayuse
massacre; who was the envoy sent TO
Washington to secure aid for the set
tiers of oregon, was for many years
engaged in trapping and hunting in
central and southern Montana between
1929 and 1910.
Meek was born in Washington coun-
ty, Virginia, in 1910, and in 1929 he
went to the Rocky mountains with
Capt. william Sublette in the employ
of the American Fur Co., and was at
the trappers' rendezvous on the Papo
Argyle Cheadwaters of the Big Horn
in July, 1929.
He was a companion Of Zebediah
Smith, Kit Carson, James Bridger,
Milton Sublette, David e. jackson Of
Jackson's Hole, Gardiner, of Gardiner
river, and other trappers and noun
tain men of that day.
In November, 1880, he wandered into
the region now known as Yellowstone
park, where he saw and afterwards
described the Mammoth hot springs
and some Of the geysers, probably
those Of Norris Geyser basin.
Made Long Journey
Meek made journey of 300 miles
on snowshoes from the trappers' rem
devious to the Nez Perces in the Bitter
Root valley in the winter Of 1915
In the spring Of 1887, Meek, with
party of trappers under command
of James Bridger, rendezvoused on the
North Fork Of the Yellowstone near
Yellowstone lake. This was probably
IN what is now known as Haydens
valley IN Yellowstone park, where the
trappers we're visited by a party Of
missionaries bound for Oregon. Here,
also, was Capt. William DrlImmond
Steuart, an Englishman, who came to-
the Rocky mountains to hunt at that
early period. A Hudson's Bay trader
named Ematinger was camped nearby
in the park. A party Of Shawnees and
Delawares was with the trapperS.
With Meek at this time was his
second wife, a Nez Perez, and their
infant daughter, Helen. The first wife
of Meek was Umentuckea, or The
Lamb Of the Mountains" q beautiful
Shoshone woman. who was killed in
1885 by hostile Bannachs. Before meet
