City in droves and uncomplainingly
yielded up the substance garnered by
older and more economic hands, as
The tenderfoot always has done and

a frontier community to relieve him
OF his surplus.
Harborcd Rough Characters
So 1t happened that from 1878 until
1881 Miles City was a place of much
consequence. 1t was called a tough
place and doubtless harbored during
those years as many hard characters
as have ever gathered together on the
frontier, but for some reason-possibly
the near presence of the soldiers
there was less of the man for break
fast in the history of those days OF
license and freedom from restraint
than most frontier towns can boast of.
Everybody had money in plenty So
ciety, as then constituted, demanded
that all should meet on a level, con-
sequently the spectacle of a prominent
citizen playing "a stack or two"
against the bank" or setting up the
fig" at one of the frequent soirees
dansant of the demi monde excited
absolutely no comment. 1t was a prin-
cipal of trade recognized by those in
business, that the money thus put out
always came back with usurious inter-
est: it was simply advertising, but the
man who could not adapt himself to
these methods either had to quit or
get partner who could-and would.
Any day during this period the town
would have Tailed out good strong
5000 population, a majority of which
conducted its affairs on the BOX g.
Cox principle, dividing into two
shifts. one sleeping while the other
worked This contingent was COM
posed almost entirely of the sporting
element, and it was quite often the
experience Of the staid citizen who
went to bed nights to meet at some
early morning fire alarm or other
hasty gathering a considerable num-

as Of the spirit of good fellowship
and comraderie that made it almost
impossible for a man OF standing to
do mean or cheap thing Although
the competitors of trade were present,
there was present also broad-gauge
courtesy that lifted men above the
sordid conditions Of life and made
them closer observers of the golden
rule.
Nickel Displaced Quarter
Like the shifting of the scenes in
a theater, the advent of the Northern
Pacific railroad in 1887 brought about
a complete change in the methods
and manners OF the people The rail-
road brought the community at once
in touch with the more concise and
narrower life of 1.-The states" the
nickel" displaced the quarter" as
the smallest coin in use. and prices
shrunk accordingly.
The prosperity of early day Miles
City was probably at its height Just
after the coming of the railroad. There
was full garrison of "swaddies,"
hundreds of railroad graders eager to
spend their money, and the slaughter
Of the buffalo for their hides employ
ing hundreds Of dollars in the course
Of few weeks all made for temporary
profit. During 1882 about 10000 buff
falo hides were shipped from Custer
county, for which the hunters received
81 each and this money found its way
sooner or later, to Milestown.
Then followed the cattle era A pop
ular legend is that a band OF oxen,
abandoned and turned loose to die,
came out in the spring fat and fine.
This was followed by the introduction
OF cattle and in the course Of few
years Miles City became the headquar-
tiers of stockmen Of southeastern Mon
tana, business that was continued
with great profit until the coming OF
the homesteader put an end to the
free range.

1t is to Fort Keogh that Miles City
owes its name and location. The con-
struction of Fort Keogh was entrusted
to General Nelson A. Miles, then
colonel of the Fifth United States in
fantry, and the necessity of a fort
that would command the Yellowstone
country was made apparent when Gus
ter and his gallant command were
exterminated by the hostile Indians.

after this massacre, and the fall and
winter of 1876 were spent in the prep

 USE BLACK LIGHT
 Black light, or invisible light, has been developed so that pilots on night flights can keep the cabins Of their planes in absolute darkness and yet see their maps or instru- mentS perfectly. To achieve this, maps and dials are given q coating of flourescent lacquer. The pilot may then play falshlight giving off ultraviolet light rays on his maps or instruments, and obtain all the necessary data to keep his plane in position and on course without giving away his own whereabouts by a telltale beam of normal light
 The rubber life rafts which have saved the lives of so many pilots who have been forced to use their parachutes over water are of course an old story. But the Army Air Force has one to beat that now in its emergency kit which can be dropped from rescue planes to pi- lots who have been forced to bail out over the Arctic. The kit cor- tains not only emergency food ra. tions, but Q tent, a stove burning 100 octane gas, warm clothes, fish hooks, and even & gun firing .22 longs in the upper barrel, 40 gauge buckshot or slug in the lower barrel. enabling the grounded avia- tors to hunt and fish and live oil the land till they can be rescued.
