Blow to Institutions

THEN the New Deal with its savage attack upon
the utilities and these securities, bonds preferred
and common stocks took terrific nose dive with con-
scquent loss of both principal and income to the
eecmosynary institutions.
Again the tragedy of this attack that it was
aimed at the few guilty of wrongdoing but 1t annhilaed
vast hordcs of innocent bystanders-the hospals-the
colegcs-ho homes for the aged and indgent-llfe in
surance policyholdors-all suffered alike.
Not only did the Institutions suffer losses in income
from the above sourccs-laws were enacted limiting de-
ductbilt 9 income for tax purposes gifts to charity
This was bitter blow and caused a great shrnkage
in income from. gifts of individual donors

Private Schools and Charities Stripped Of Funds


Underseeretory Of the United States Treasury
THE problem confronting the nations private educa-
L tIonal and charitable institutions, depending upon
income from endowments plus donations from mdlvdu-
ais for their continuance, has been growing steadily
during the past y years.
After the crash in 1929, portfolios left with
tremendous capital losses.
The depression which followed in its wake took huge
sums from current income from nvestments-and be-
cause the incomes of individuals suffered such sharp
declines those accustomed to making annual donations

eliminate them entirely.

I led them safely past the Notifications
and into the Bitter Root valley Joseph
and his fellow chiefs had made study
of the vicinity's topography and had
chosen a route which the white men
apparently had thought impossible
There may have been some random
shooting by soldiers and Indians al
long range but there were no casual
ties.
The Indians had a pleasant trip up
the Bitter Root and behaved in exem-
plary manner.
The tradition is that after Joseph
and his people passed around the little
fort. the civilians who were with Rawn
and his IS regulars and like number
of F1athead braves, promptly left for
their scattered abodes and that the
Bitter Root farmers began quite q
profitable trade in horse feed and veg
etables with the Nez Perez. The story
is, too, that Captain Rawn returned
to Missoula and tried to drown all
memory Of this military boomerang
in liquor.
Many of the Nee Perez were fairly
well acquainted with the people in
Missoula and the Bitter Root from
having soiourned there in the course
of trips to the buffalo country. There
was but one case of thievery by Jo-
seph's men and that has not been well
authenticated. Some horses we're re-
ported taken there but the Indians
were said to have turned over horses
from their own herd in recompense.
Stores at Stevensville, Hamilton and
Corvallis conducted big business with
the red men.
The hewn log marker, set up in re-
cent years to designate the spot where
Captain Rawns dreams Of military dis
tinction were blighted, bears this cap

and Is F1athead braves erected and
occupied a redoubt from July Is to
%, 1877, to challenge the passage Of the
hostile non-treaty Nez Perce Indians
under Chief Joseph. On July % the
Nez Perces evaded the troops by as
cending a gulch on the north side OF
Lolo creek half mile above this place
and going down Sleeman creek in the
Bitter Root valley.
A forest fire on Sept. 80, 1884, de-
stroyed the last visible sector Of the
old log redoubt, which is now marked
by five cement piers.

feet high and had trenches dug. The
location, at the narrowest part of the
canyon, was strategic. 1t was also
flanked on either side by steep, sparse
~ wooded hills. He thus reasoned that
the enemy, approaching from the west,
could not force a way past.
The Nez Perce reached the site Of
Fort Fizzle on July 26, raised their
lodges two miles up the canyon and
settled down to some heavy thinking.
They had to get past the fort, but how?
Joseph realized that a frontal at
tack on the barricade would be suicidal.
He thus sent out scouts to reconnoiter
the region for paSsageways around the
breastworks.
The Indians apparently were sur
prised by the hostile reception shown
them. They had always considered the
Montana people their friends and Jo-
seph held a more or less firm convic-
ton that once out of Idaho his
troubles would be over, since it was
the Indians occupancy of the fertile
WaIlowa valley-theirs by inheritance
that had caused all the trouble.
Captain Rawn, in a report to the
secretary of war; states that he held
a council with Joseph, White Bird and
Looking Glass on July 81, in which the
chiefs promised, If allowed to pass
unmolested, they would refrain from
any acts of depreciation or violence on
their march up the Bitter Root valley.
Rawn was willing to give them free
passage only on condition that they
give up their arms, ammunition and
horses. Since this was unconditional
surrender, the chiefs, of course, re-
fused.
But when the fact was noised around
that the Indians had pledged not to
modest persons or property in their
Journey up the Bitter Root, many Of
the farmers of that section who had
volunteered with Rawn developed a
sudden change of heart. Determining
that no overt act on their part should
prompt the Indians to go in for loot
and pillage, they lit out for home at
once. Rawn was forced to post rear
guards at once to prevent further de-
sertionS.
Joseph, in the meantime, had not
been idle. Suddenly Rawn's troops and
MissouIa volunteers noted big dem
onstration by the Indians within sight
of the fort and figured that the ex-
pected attack was about to take place.
Indians Fool EN-
But such an attack never happened.
The Indian cavalcade began moving
from the canyon to the hills, ascend
ing the slopes a half mile In front Of
the entrenchment. The Indians line Of

Montana Employment
Service Finds Jobs
For 27.2IO Workers

The Montana employment service
now the state division Of the United
States employment service, found jobs
for 27,210 Montana workers in 194l,
Director o. G. Lamport announced.
This Is an increase Of 5,760 place
ments over 1940," Iamport said, "and
to a large extent reflects increased de-
mand for defense industry outside the
state.
"As occurs every year, placements
during November. December and jan
uary were only about half the monthly
average, because Of seasonal shut
downs, but were several hundred high
er than in the corresponding months
Of the preceding year"
Most urgent labor demand at the
moment is for junior stenographers,
male or female, to iii positions In
Washington, d. c., at S1.440 a year,
Lamport said. Age limits are Is TO So.
No previous work experience is re-
Quired.
Recruiting Of these workers is being
handled by the local offices Of the
employment service.
