SURGEONS TEAMS
AIDED BY NURSES
LATE DR.. HOYT OF GLASGOW
SERVED SOLDIERS WOUNDED
IN FRONT LINES

Red Cross nurses, under fire, were
the finest bunch of women ever met.
They worked like dogs, they slept in
mud, they became lousy every day
from working over boys wounded In
the front lines, but they never COM
planned and they always came up
smiling"
This was the statement made by Dr.
Mark T. Hoyt, who died recently in
Glasgow, where he was mayor, on his
return from France at the close OF
the first World war.
In August, 1887. he was first lieu
tenant in the medical reserve but after
nine months of active service he gained
the rank Of major.
He was a member of team Of six
surgeons and with other surgical teams
moved from battlefront to battlefront
and worked directly behind the first
lines. One such hospital had ID op-
Grating tables and So surgical teams
working during a battle. The teams
performed $500 operations in one
month.
DR.. Hoyt was one OF the doctors who
served with the American army in the
Argonne.
He was the son of one of the earliest
Montana pioneers. He established the
first hospital at Glasgow and in
northern Montana in 1889, using three
freight cars for buildings.

BUTTE WILL HAVE
NEW STOCKYARDS
100000 INDUSTRY WILL BE BOON
TO STOCKMEN; DUE TO
OPEN IN JUNE

The Butte Public Stockyards, estab-
lished with the filing Of articles of
incorporation at Helena, will assist in
the continued development of the
Montana livestock industry 1t will be
particularly helpful to the stockmen OF
southwestern and western Montana. 1t
Is estimated that the initial cost OF
the enterprise will be 5000. 600, and the
plant will be so designed that addi-
tons can be made as the business
warrants.
L. A. Snyder is to be the general
manager Of the Butte stockyards.
Snyder is native Montanan. born at
Lewistown, and has spent his life in
the livestock business. He has cattle
ranch near Lewistown. For some time
ne has been the western representative
OF the Sioux City Stockyards Co. with
headquarters in Montana. He knows
the cattle business in this state thor
oughly.
This stockyards brings the market
500 miles farther west.
Sioux City Enterprise
The Butte stockyards is an enter
prise of the Sioux City Stockyards Co.,
which has established in that Iowa
city one OF the largest and most sue
cessful livestock marketing facilities in
the United States. The concern was
started in 1887 and for many years

1t is affiliated with stockyards con-
Germs all over the country.
The company mas purchased SO acres
OF land from the Hansen Packing Co.
On this tract it will build a modern
stockyards plant, consisting of a COW
/ cred division for the accommodation
Of hogs and sheep and open sales pens
for cattle. There will be a modern ad-
minttration building to house the Of
fees Of the stockyards company, the
commission men and buyers who will
make their headquarters there.
Opening Set for June
Construction Of the yards will start
as the weather permits. probably in
March. The company expects to have
the business in operation by the middle
of June.
What this means to the livestock in
I terests of western Montana and to the
community is quickly apparent. With
the Incompatible livestock areas ad-
Jacent to Butte, the Big Hole, the
Flint creek country, the GrasShopper
and other areas, ready market within
IS or 100 miles will become a boon to
the stockmen.

A prominent college football player
recently announced he was retiring
from competition so that he could
make a better showing in his studies.
He said he preferred a sheepskin to

The claim is often made that foot
ball does not interfere with studies.
However, the above action seems the
logical answer to such a contention.

Now comes Fred NJ Ferrell, manager
Of the Fergus Motor company Of Lew
istown and disputes the correctness of
this statement. Ferrell'S claim to the
premier delivery of merchandise by the
air route is amply supported by state
nentS from other citizens of Lewis
town. More than year ago the Fergus
Motor company received call from a
farmer near Danvers. The farmer stat
ed that he was tied up in his har-
vesting by the breaking of part on
his Fordson tractor. An airplane was
hitched on the landing ground just
above town. Ferrell ordered his men to
get the part out of stock. Ten minutes
later he was seated in the plane In
full sail for Danvers. 20 miles distant,
and in less than one hour from the
time of the receipt Of the order the
farmer had in hand the broken Ford
son part and 20 minutes later had re-
sumed his threshing work.
