to drouth and grasshoppers. Carter
has turned to numbering on the $780,
O00-acre stand of PonderoSa pine on
the Sioux National forest from which
some 100000 feet is cut annually; to
mining abundant Ignite coal beds and
TO development of oil and gas re-
sources. which seems certain.
Museum history dates back to 1892
when w. H. Peck, now curator. and
the late Septon Cady became inter-
ested in fossils found on the range OF
what is now Carter county. They
worked virtually alone for nearly four
decades. their interest growing with
each discovery. In 1880 they conceived
the idea of a museum.
1t had modest beginning but under
the curatorship of Peck has had a re-
markable growth. Specimens which
crumbled when exposed to air have
been restored to their original size by
Peck.
By 1888 the museum had assumed
such proportions that the need for a
permanent organization was felt. The
founders contributed their collection
to Carter county high school, then or
ganized the Carter County Geological
club, later incorporated as the Carter
County Geological society
Among rare finds made by the
founders and co-workers are partial
remains of a giant carnivorous dino
saur, the "tyrant lizard" the jaw Of
a small animal of the present-day op-
possum and kangaroo family; the huge
skull of tricereatops horiduS, one Of
the largest of prehistoric animals,
which is almost seven feet long, has

in its cast, more than ton; the tusk
, Of mammoth 10 feet inches long,
and a new genus of the little known
Troodon family, which is to be class
flied by New York scientists.
The museum also include marine
fossils and Indian artifacts, including
pottery, ornaments, arrow heads and
other weapons of long-dead culture.
Among the hundreds of visitors at the
free museum yearly are paleontologists
of international renown.

let alone mentioning any birthday
memento that she was going to send
to Mr.. Gum.
Those snapshots OF him disappeared
from Miss Remington's room to re-
appear as torn up fragments in Miss
Remingtons wastepaper basket.
Now, pondered the sincerely troub-
led Mrs. Bunnitt, whatever in the wide
world is at the bottom of the trouble
between them two?
Mrs. Bunnitt was bordering that
question when, on Saturday after
noon, as she came down the corridor
from her No. IL, she ran into the
answer.
The door of No. 10 had opened to
show a glimpse of coppery head and
svelte American figure. Then. Vir-
ginia Remington, who was coming out.

No reason that the sympathetically
dismayed Mrs. Bunnitt could see
But also no more telephone calls
No more little notes. Chill in the
air. as if the whole OF Miss Reming-
tons flat had become an icebox.
Aren't you feeling so well today
Miss?" ventured Mrs. Bunnitt
Why. I'm feeling fine!"
But Miss Remington's face. that had

like. less pretty and-sort of shut. As
fer the other half OF the romance, Mr.
Gum who had been ceasing to scowl
like handsome Corsican bandit and
had begun to look like a cheerful young
Englishman who is lucky in love. now
reversed the process. Gloom prevailed
for a week
And tomorrow was the young gen.
tleman's birthday. as Mrs. Bunnitt re-
minded the young lady.

In the opinion of DR.. Barnum
Brown of New York city, curator of
paleontology of the American Museum
of Natural History. "the best local
museum in the United States" Is
housed in Carter county high school.
He wrote this opinion in the visitors
register.
The museum contains more than
1000 identified fossils, plus a large
collection of early-day photogra phs.
relics, artifacts and mounted game
heads.
And to the visitor with only pass
ing interest in the confines of a mu-
scum. Carter county offers a study
in contrasts-rugged badlands resem-
bling miniature industrial plants and
ponderous yellow pine forests. the
Honeycombs, aptly monuments
to erosion in the Long Pine hills Of
neighboring Harding county, S. D., 80
miles southeast of Ekalaka. and DOM
mating Capitol rock in southeast Car
ter county, a fortress-like structure
rearing like an iceberg in bright sun
light to form probably the most strik-
ing scene in southeastern Montana.
Tempted Formations
Linked with Indians of another day
are the Medicine rocks. odd tempted
formations with sparse cover of pic
turesque pines, used formerly for trib-
al sacrificial rites. by Crows and Sioux
to make their traditional medicine and
smoke the pipe of peace. Hence the
name. Medicine rocks, meaning good
medicine"
Then there's Ekalaka's own history,
dating to spring, 1885, when Claude
Carter was hauling load of logs to
a preselected saloon site. The wagon
wobbled across shallow Russell creek.
sank hub deep. He surveyed the sit
uation, then philosophically remarked
Hell. any old place is good enough
to start saloon in Montana; if I
operate a good one. the world is pretty
certain to beat path to my door here
in the wilderness"
Throwing off the logs, he built his
"hell dive" for cowboys and squatters.
Thus was Ekalaka located and named
for the wife of David Harrison Rus
sell, the first white man to locate in
the area Russell. native of Illinois,
was a cowpuncher in Wyoming when
he married the 16-year-old daughter
of Eagle Man in Laramie county, Feb.

Her name was Ijkalaka, which in

Bunnitt. What d'you expect Of Jour-
nalist?) He had been on some pretty
dangerous war correspondent work
abroad, too Fierce looking lad he was!
That didn't worry Mrs. Bunnitt
either. She knew that under those
threatening black brows as of some
handsome Corsican bandit off the pic
lures. her" Mr.. Gum had the kindest
boyish heart. Always, when she got
him his breakfast at II, he'd ask her
to have a cup of tea and a Shutdown
too. and where's the Welsh woman
who'd fail to appreciate that invita-
ton? Definitely Mr.. Gum was hel
favorite, in spite of the hurrahs' nest
to which he reduced his rooms. What
do you expect of a bachelorO.
The thing that had shocked Mrs
Bunnitt stared her in the face the
next morning she came into Mr.
Gums sitting room.
There, in front of his gas fire, il
stood, full of cigaret stubs, crumplec
cartons. ashes knocked out of his hor-
rible old pipe, disgustin' old match
ends
It was so dirty that until Mrs. Bun.
nit started to clean it she didn't see
what it was. And then she could
hardly believe her eyes. "Cor!"
whats the matter?" asked the
journalist.
Mrs. Bunnitt pointed. That, sir. IT,

"Yes. I suppose. Had it years
Scrounged it from my home because
it was a sensible size"
What a sin! Use a lovely copper
preserving pan like this as an ash
tray!"
Must have somewhere to chuck my
cigaret ends"

pan that ought to shine like the sur
over the mountains" scolded the
Welsh woman with sternest disapprov-
al on the apple-face under mop Of
gray hair. BLACK as an old coal scuttle
it is! I'm going to clean it now, what
ever"
She took away the preserving pan;
tine-encrusted, filthy. She boiled it
She scrubbed, she rubbed, she polished
She brought it back in a dazzling con-
dition-destined to shine on the dawn
of a romance.

Then she put her latchkey into her
