gy output and effect Of 10000. 900
kilowatt-hours. according to a report
recently sent TO congress by Secretary
Tckes.
There is already a power shortage
In this section Of Montana which Is
expected to increase with the war pro-
gram" the report stated.
Murray said the dam would boost
the power output Of existing hydro
electric plants downstream from Can
yon Ferry by providing more even
flow OF water.
Murray said the needs Of irrigation
farmers necessarily lowered the levels
Of existing lakes furnishing power,
curtailing the output Of electrical
energy. The project would be Of great
benefit to farmers as well as furnish
ing power for war industries, he said.
"At Variance With Facts"
In answering the power shortage
claims. Bird said that the statements
were 80 completely at variance with
the facts as they exist in the Montana
power situation that I feel that the
situation"
his statement continued:
The Montana Power Co. is now sup
plying the Anaconda Copper Mining
Co. with over 100000 H. p, which
is one of the largest loads of electrical
energy supplied to any war industry in
the United States. Additionally. until
recently, this company has also sup
piled $4,000 H p OF surplus power TO
the Utah Power & Light Co., for use
by Utah Copper Co and other indus
tries in the state of Utah Recently
the Utah Power g. Light Co. has de-
clined to accept this surplus power OF
the Montana Power Co. for the reason
that due to improved water conditions
their own power supply Is of sufficient
proportions that this surplus power Of
the Montana Power Co. Is not now
needed. Additionally, the Montana
Power Co. has been sending surplus
power in the neighborhood of 10000

BIRD REFUTES
MONTANA POWER
SHORTAGE CLAIM
ASSERTS STATEMENTS BY ICKEs
AND MURRAY AT VARIANCE
WITH TRUE FACTS

Refuting a statement made by SEN
ator James Murray IN washington
recently, Frank W. Bird, president and
general manager of the Montana
Power Co, denied that a power short
age existed In the state.
Murray's statement was contained In
a dispatch relative TO construction Of
an irrigation and power project at
Canyon Ferry on the Missouri river.
II miles east of Helena. The project
was recommended by Reclamation
Commissioner John G. Page, in testi-
mony before a senate appropriations
subcommittee of the interior depart
ment appropriation bill
Cost Put at 81, $4,000
Normal cost OF the project was esti-
mated at $11 $50 900 but in view Of
the present prices the amount was set
by the reclamation bureau at approx
mately s14,000.OO0. Appropriation Of
funds appeared 10 depend largely on
whether the war production board
would grant priority for materials.
Senator Murray, who submitted an
amendment to the interior bill propos-
ing that $2,0O0,O00 be included in the
measure for starting construction on
the project, said about two years would
be required for completion and that
the potential power output was sorely
needed for chrome, zinc and other war
metals plants already built or under
construction in Montana.
1t would be a $4,000 kilowatt devel-
opment, with an expected annual ener-

into dangerous territory. where Van
derburgh was killed by the eros Ven
tres, when he was on the Sinking
Water. This is but one Of many in
stances illustrating to what crimes
rivalry between the fur companies led.
Robbery was common, as In the case
Of Peter Skene Ogden, who lost his
furs TO this same company that claimed
the allegiance of Bridger and Fitzpat-
rick; and murder was not infrequent.
The battle Of Pierre's Hole and the
killing Of Vanderburgh confirm the
statement of Alexander Henry. They
are an audacious and turbulent race,
and have frequently attempted to
massacre us-the Northwest company.
The first attack was made at old Fort
Brule in 1898, when they pillaged the
Hudsons Bay company fort and were
about to commit the same outrage
upon that of the Northwest company"
but for the bravery Of company clerk,
who put them to flight.
The next summer they destroyed
the Hudson,s Bay fort on the south
branch tof the Saskatchewan?), mas
sacred the people and pillaged them
Of everything they had, leaving the
place In ashes" Here again they were
repulsed by the Northwest company.
Henry has recorded two things TO
the credit Of the eros Ventres Of the
Prairie. He says they were an indus
trious people and In the dressing Of
buffalo robes, equalled the Mandans.
and were better than the Slaves. These
two, II we except bravery, were the
only merits Henry could discover IN
them, and they would naturally appeal
TO fur trader; but he found them
immoral. Henry invariably found In
dians Immoral, and IL history tells the
truth regarding him, they simply mir
rored himself.
One thing is certain. These Indians
never forgot and forgave an injury
10 one Of their tribe, and Indian fash
ion, were indiscriminate IN exacttng
repr1sals. All white men who ventured
into their country, on whom they met,
were liable TO pay the penalty for the
two Indians killed IN 1905.

for the Helena company.
State Capital Fight
The fight over the state capital To-
cation was followed by other political
| battles between Clark and DAILY. In
the meantime q new figure, that Of F.
Augustus Heinz, arose to challenge the
two pioneers for leadership Of Mon
tana's mining and smelling industry
A group Of republicans, seeking a
new party organ in western Montana
purchased the Muscular in 1901. The
Fruit Grower Publishing Co. was or
ganized to take over the paper, and
the Daily Missoulian and weekly Fruit
Grower, later the semi-weekly Mis-
soulian and Fruit Grower, were pub
lished first by George Harris and later
by E. j. Willis as lessees.
Heinze's legal battles with the Anal
gamated Copper Co., which had pur-
chased most of Marcus Days interests,
were nearing showdown when the
Muscular Publishing Co. was organ
lied in 1902 with T. o. Butler as first
business manager and H. 0. Collins
as managing editor These battles, in
volving control of much of the rich
Butte hill, were to eliminate the year
following in the 17-day shutdown of
all the vast Amalgamated properties
in Montana, including the lumber mill
at Bonner.
Dixon Buys Paper
Butler sold his interest to Joseph
M. Dixon In 1907 and the new pub
Usher reerganized the company, per-
hitting employees to buy shares Of its
stock. A. L. Stone, now veteran dean
of journalism at Montana State uni
versity, was made business manager
and later editor. The bitter wars for
control of mines and Of politics was
then being forgotten, and Hetnze was
soon to sell his Montana properties
and move to New York, promptly to
lose in Wall street. the $40 500 600 he
had received for his ore pits and smelt-
ers IN Butte. The lumber business was
booming and Missou1a was sharing
that boom.
In 1917 three Chicago newspaper
men, Martin j. Hutchens, Lester L.
Jones and George E. Rice, acquired
the plant. Hutchens becoming editor
Through World war /, the brief post
war depression and the back to nor

Among the Indians In Montana on
the reservations with the ASsinniboines,
are the Gros Ventres of the Prairie,
or big Bellies" as they were called
by other tribes, although they called
themselves by a name meaning white
Clay People" The first name Is gen.
orally misunderstood. 1t originated
from the sign made to indicate them
q sweeping pass Of the hand over the
abdomen, meaning Always Hungry,
or "Beggars." They were also spoken
of by some writers, as Pals Indians,
from the belief that they lived near
the falls Of the Saskatchewan.
The Gros Ventures, like the Bsackfeet,
were Algonquins. and once lived farther
east. They came west with the Arapa-
hoes, with whom they we're allied, and
maintained friendship uncommon IN
tribes so widely separated. When Nv
ing near, or with the Arapahoes, they
are said to have been q sedentary
people, and agricultural, like the
Mandans. on reaching the buffalo
country, they became nomadic.
1t Is not known what led to their
separation from the Arapahoes, nor
where they decided to go in different
directions; the Arapahoes southwest,
and the eros Ventres, or "Atsina,"
which was their Indian name, north
west. The region claimed by the latter
lay along the shore of the Missouri,
from Great Falls to the Judith basin.
Confused with BIackfeet
These Indians are constantly con-
fused by early travellers on the upper
Missouri with the Hidatsa, or Gros
Ventres who lived in the neighborhood
of the Mandans, and with the Black
feet, who were constantly accused of
was the Gros Ventures of the Prairie
who were the rentless foes Of the
white man, and not the Blackfeet, and
1t was the Gros Ventres the trappers
feared.
Their enmity towards the whites
dated from 1906, when Captain Lewis
was making explorations on the upper
Missouri One day of that memorable
Lewis little party was sur
prised by, or surprised, for both par
ties seem to have been equally fright
ened, a band Of 80 GroS Ventres. Ac-
cording to Captain LewiS-we have
never heard the Indian side of the
tried to establish friendly
relations with them, which was de-
sirable, as the Indians outnumbered
the whites. The pipe Of peace was
smoked, and other ceremonies observed,
and all was going well, until the eros
Ventures tried TO run off Lewis horses,
and succeeded in taking a few of them,
when one Of the Lewis company
stabbed one Indian, and Captain Lewis
shot and killed another. Then the eros
Ventures fled, leaving their dead be-
hind them. One Of these had posed
as a chief, and been presented with
a medal by Captain Lewis. Two other
indians had also posed as chiefs, and
been rewarded accordingly, on the
;criptural principle, that ITO him who
hath shall be given"
Lewis recovered the other gifts-at

Quick-Bui|dinq
House Timely

In our present intense need TO
make supply of critical materials
cover primary war needs we are
turning rapidly to the idea that
war housing, from this time on,
often must be the quick-building
house that is complete outside but
incomplete as TO the interior.
Such a house. correctly located
where it will be permanently
needed, can be finished off, as to
the bathrooms and the like, when
the emergency shortage of equip
ment and materials is over The
finishing, indeed, may often be
done in great part by the owner,
gradually. as his family needs
increase.
