the store, and the store was the lead
ing business house Of Fort Benton
at the time.
7 OKeeffe hunted up Riplinger, who
had gone to bed, but he had visions
Of suit Of clothes, and decided thai
he wanted the contract. Riplinger was
routed out Of his slumbers at the hotel
to talk to OKeeffe, and when the
matter was suggested to him, he was
not in the notion Of signing a contract.
You know my word is all right and
that I will take the potatoes at the
price agreed upon, and I know that
YOU are on the level, too, and am
depending upon you for the potatoes
lie Wanted That Suit
OF course, that would have settled
the matter as far as OKeeffe was
concerned, but it would not get him
the suit of clothes he wanted to take
along.
We'll, you see it is this way" he
replied. my brother and I are in
together in this matter, and he might
bring the potatoes over. I could not
guarantee that they would come, If
he brought them and we had no con-
tract, for he might sell to someone
else, perhaps for more money. If we
have this agreement, he viii live up
to it,"
He knew that his brother would de-
liver the potatoes just as well as him
self and would be just as true to the
verbal agreement as If IL were in writ
ing, but at the same time he wanted
to get the suit Of clothes out Of Matt
Carroll.
He explained to Riplinger that he
did not want to leave any shadow Of
doubt in the buyers mind, and that
settled it. The contract was drawn up
A few minutes later OKeeffe was
back at the CarrolI-Steele store and
showed the contract to Carroll. The
latter read it, grtnned and told the
chief clerk to give Dave the best suit
in the store" Carroll at that time
was negotiating for potatoes for half
the price for which OKeeffe was de-
livering them to Riplinger.
However, in those days it was no
small matter to deliver 5000 pounds
of potatoes or 5000 pounds Of any
thing else from what is now Missoula
to Fort Benton. The Mullan trail was
all that there was to travel over,
houses were few and far between and

Phillips County Settlement
Meets FGUor of Indian Group

Montana landless Indians Of Chief
! Thomas Little Shells Pembina band
of Cree hippewas Endorsed a proposal
for settlement Of landleSs Indians in
Phillips county under a farm loan
program at meeting recently.
Members said a Montana Iandless
Indian" group that met In Helena and
approved purchase Of the Floweree
ranch In Teton county for use as a
reservation was not the original Mon
tana landless Indian group
Joseph H. Dussome of Box Elder
for 20 years president Of the group
which claims prior right to the Mon
tana landless Indian" name, explained
that the term as accepted by the IN
dams he heads applies to members Of
tribes which made no treaty stipula-
ton before white settlement Of Mon
tana. and who are landleSs and not
now eligible for government assistance.
No action was taken concerning the
proposal to purchase the FloWeree
property but delegates indicated the
Helena meeting did not represent the
original landless group. They said
some of those who attended the Helena
conference were, as reservation dwell
ers, wards of the government and
eligible for government aid
OF the approximately TOO landless
Indians of whom Dussome assertedly
has been recognized as leader by the
federal government, about SOS now
have approved the farm loan program.
Desiring to become land-owning citi-
zens, the group has opposed proposals
it be placed on reservations.
Congress recently appropriated $685.
900 to improve the living conditions
of the landleSs Indians and the resolu-
ton approved by 25 Great Falls In
dams specified that this be accom-
plished by placing the Indians on
lands held by the Phillips Development
Co., in Phillips county, under the farm
security act
OF the land indicated, $4,000 acres
was said to be already under irriga-
ton, while an additional $4,000 is ir- |
adjacent land condemned for Fort !
Peck which the Indians are willing to
use for grazing land.
The plan for assisting the Indians /
aSsertedly was approved last February
at washington when an Indian dele
cation met with the Montana con-
gressional delegation and representa-
ives of the Indian affairs office. Each
indian would be given outright 80 acres
If irrigated land, two sections of range
land and would receive a SIS, 600 gov
loan to be repaid without
over a period of 40 years. No
payment would be required during the
first five years.

Ever Normal Granary Is Seen
AS Boon to Nations Defense

Secretary Wickard believes the ag-
riculture departments ever normal
granary farm program-based upon
the biblical idea of saving surplus pro-
duction Of fat years for use in years
Of lean output of abnormal demand
win pay big dividends to city folk
during the coming year.
More than that, he believes the pro-
gram will contribute materially to a
quicker victory Of the democracies over
the totalitarian powers. Further, he
believes the program, while designed
primarily to protect farmers against
excessively low prices, viii prove to
consumers that it is worth more than
1t may have cost them in taxes for
farm benefit payments.
Wickard bases his beliefs upon past
experiences that have proved both
painful and costly to farmers and
consumers.
Right now American agriculture is
being called upon to meet an I'M
precedented demand for vital food
products. particularly pork, lard beef,
mutton, butter, milk, cheese, eggs and
poultry products.
AS large as the demand may pc,
farmers will continue to meet it, says
Wickard. They are able to do it only
because, he adds, huge reserves Of
corn and other feeds have been ac-
cumulated during the last four years
under the granary program.
without the ceremonial granary
reserves OF corn and other feeds there
could not be food for defense pro-
gram such as has been inaugurated
by the agriculture departmental
least not until after farmers had pro-
duced a big corn crop in 1892" the
said.
THAT would have meant a loss of
valuable time, with possible disastrous
results to the cause of democracy, to
say nothing of the possibility Of short
supplies and higher prices Of meats,
dairy and poultry products for Ameri-
can consumers"

dotted the road from Missoula to Fort
Benton, four Of which were between
the present site Of AEissoula and
Helena.
Not a Fence IN Sight
The country was open. not a fence
along the way, and was quite a con-
trast to the trip Of today, for It took
from Is to 20 days to get through,
and when Uncle Dave" was ready
to start he left with four wagonloads.
Two Of the wagons contained the DO
tatoes and there was load Of cabbage
and one of onions.
-Four yoke of oxen were on each
wagon, eight head in all, so the four
wagons required 80 head of cattle.
WAS it necessary In those days to
use oxen? Were there no horses which
could be uSed2" Uncle Dave" was
asked.
Me friend" replied the old gentle
man, "it was useless to try to use
horses in those days, the Indians
would steal them from you, and the
Blackfeet and Piegan tribes were dam
gerous They were on the warpath."
The trip was made to Fort Benton
without incident. but on the way they
heard some shooting and learned that
the Indian party that they saw In
the distance had killed two Mexican
trappers.

Benton was a thriving settlement
where a fur-trading company had its
headquarters, and it being the head
of navigation on the Missouri river
many of the early settlers arrived BY
boat instead of coming overland.
David OKeeffe was one of the early
pioneers Of the state, but he came
from further west, leaving California
and coming here by way Of The Dalles,
Ore, and he knew well the Mullan
trail as it was cut through OKeeffe,
too, knew the trail from what is now
MisSoula to Fort Benton, which was
the metropolis of the state at the time.
with probably $500 or $500 people.
OKeeffe,s brother, G. G. O'Keeffe,
preceded "Uncle Dave" to Montana,
coming in 1859 and located in the
canyon west of Missoula which bears
his name. He was joined In 1862 by
Uncle Dave" OKeeffe and between
them they took up section Of land
in the canyon.
Not Many Farmers
In the year before Uncle Dave" ar
rived, his brother had two or three
acres Of land under cultivation, raising
oats and potatoes, and at that time
there were few settlers and only a
small number Of them were raising
anything from the land. After the first
year of farming by O'Keeffe, the land
Of the two brothers was leased In 1853
and 1854, but in 1865 Uncle Dave"
took charge of it again and planted
and raised between so and so acres
of grain and also had two or three
acres in potatoes.
The potatoes were marketed In the
mining camps of Bannack, Alder Gulch
and around Deer Lodge OF the wheat
raised that year he sold 100 bushels
in Helena at SIS a bushel while the
rest of the 800 bushel crop was sold
in the vicinity of MisSoula at 81
bushel Oats that year brought 81 a
bushel and potatoes from $3.50 to "a
a bushel.
One Of the interesting incidents of
in 1866, on the occasion Of a visit to
Fort Benton where he consummated
a deal for the sale Of 5000 pounds Of |
potatoes to be delivered there at an
agreed price Of 20 cents a pound. Fur |
ther, through his ability to get a |
signed contract on the deal, he got
the best suit of clothes in Fort Ben
ton besides.
OKeeffe was in Fort Benton and.
having a keen eye for business, de-
,ided he could sell some potatoes there.
He approached John 'Riplinger, one
Of the officials Of the American Fur
Co., who was spending his first year
In Montana. Riplinger promised to
take 5000 pounds Of potatoes, to be
delivered in Fort Benton. The fur
company had q large force of men en-
,loyed In trading with the Indians and
With winter coming ON Riplinger knew
hat potatoes would be needed. After
losing his deal with Riplinger.
OKeeffe was strolling around renew

nto the store of Matt Carroll and
George Steele. A little talk with Car
oil brought out the information that

Energy is the precious coin with
which we pay our way through life.
Yet many persons acouiesce to
state of fatigue when they should
experience the wild exuberance of
spirit which fine health can bring.
A merry heart can give youth and
health to the body while boredom
and pessimism can produce actual
physical disability and extreme IA
tigue.
The physical health Of an indi-
vidual and his mental outlook are so
closely correlated that it is i'm
possible to tell where one begins
and the other ends. Our moods af-
feet our glands and our glands give
us our moods. Fatigue can produce
fits of blueness and worry can give
us headache.
II you are living in a treadmill Of
half aliveness and wish to improve
your enjoyment in living you must
discipline your thoughts and emo
tions with happy thoughts and Sc
riously avoid overfatigue.
You SllOulO SlInpllly lie as much
as possible. Insert short rest periods
| into your day, steal more hours for
sleep at night, spend as much time
outdoors as possible and vegetate
whenever you can. A week end spent
in bed is of great value to the tired
person.
Bad health habits bring us state
of lowered vitality which is as
sociated with fatigue and low spirits
