assuring them that they would not be
harmed They proved TO be two Of the
principle chiefs Of the Bloods. and
they talked freely Of the attack. and
the part that the Hudson's Bay Co.
had played in melting It.
Kipp explained his friendly designs
and showed them the advantages Of
his establishment over those Of the
rival company. pointing out that his
friendly feeling had been proved by
his failure to fire a single shot at
them. He proposed that they cease
hostilities and make one trade with
him. They said that they would have
to consult with the other chief ,of the
tribe. Kipp thus allowed one OF them
to 60 and held the others as hostage.
Soon two other chiefs visited the post
and were handsomely entertained.
They agreed to trade, but explained
that they had disposed Of most Of
their furs to the Hudson Bay Co. They
did, however. have a supply Of buffalo
robes and Kipp secured 5000 Of these
in exchange for goods. The Bloods de-
parted. leaving Kipp with assurances
Of good viii.
Thus by a firm, straightforward
but conciliatory course. Kipp had
averted the wrath Of the two worst
tribes Of the Blackfeet confederation,
thwarted their rivals Of the British
side and secured q firm hold for the
American Fur Co. in the most profit
able region for the prosecution Of the
fur trade in the entire west.
AS spring advanced preparations
were made for moving their furs and
buffalo robes to Fort Union. Kipp was
to accompany the party TO Fort Union.
but his men were so afraid Of the
Blackfeet that they refused 10 remain
without him. Reluctantly. ne was COM
PEELED TO abandon the fort and take
all Of his men with him. The party
dropped down the Missouri and the
fort was soon afterward burned by
party Of Assinniboine Indians.
The following year Fort Mckenzie
was built on the north bank Of the
Missouri river, about six miles above
the mouth of the MariaS. The site OF
old Fort Mckenzie was relocated by a

How james Kipp Won Bluckfeet Trade
From Grasp of Hudson's Boy Company

in the past few months have shown
the necessity Of additional enforce
ment Of the gambling laws
Numerous complaints have reached
this office, both directly and in
directly, 70 the effect that the
gambling laws are not being enforced
in full In all counties" he stated.
He said that until now he had con-
tinued the policy established by his
predecessors that local officials must
be responsible for enforcement OF the
gambling laws in their respective To-
calitieS and jurisdictions. He added
that he had called complaints OF Ho-
lations to the attention Of local Of
ficials with the hope in mind Of
averting the enforcement from this Of
flee, both because Of the expense in
volved and from practical stand
point"
with a very few exceptions this Of
flee has received the heartiest CO.
operation from the county attorneys
However, there are instances where It
would be very valuable to have an in
vestigator or investigators from this
office" he said.
Saying that his office has been
handicapped in law enforcement by
lack OF funds, Bottomly said the legis-
lature viii be asked for sufficient
funds to investigate and prosecute vio-
lations Of the gambling laws.
$50 long as our statute books hold
anti-gambling laws which must be
enforced. we must have an effective
anti-gambling program" he asserted.
Bottomly also asked in his report
that emergency powers be given the
governor by the legislature TO assist
the war effort
I'm repeated instances there has
been need for statutory authority to
act without delay in order that the
prosecution OF the war may go for
ward promptly" he declared. adding
1.-The governor should have legislative
authority to take extraordinary action
in these times Of crisis"
In handling manpower problems,
IN furthering the states productive
capacity, in the conservation OF rubber,
and in cooperating generally with the
armed forces and federal agencies
there will be many times when the
governor will have to take emergency
action without delay" he said.
Bottomly recommended that the at
torney general be relieved of his
duties OF sitting as a member Of some
OF the various state boards and COM
missions. He said the legal work Of
the office requires that the attorney
general be on the job every day.

was tainted or not, wisely concluding
to accept without question the favors
of Providence.
Clark's career was meteorlc. Win
the exhaustion Of the Broadwater he
was no more In Neihart. He operated
in other sections Of Montana with
varying success and finally drifted into
the lead and zinc districts Of Missouri.
Clark proved that some silver ore
could be made to- yield a profit in
spite of a low market, and his enter
prise gave heart to others who were
fortunate enough to possess high
grade leads.

AS the presence of these suspicious
red men would prove a great embar-
rassment in the building Of the fort,
Kipp sought to pursuade them to
withdraw until his fort had been COM
pleted, promising that it should be
ready and opened for trade in about
rs days. The indians consented with
apparent good humor, but Kipps in
terpreter Burger, overheard some OF
the chiefs laughing together and say
ing that when they got the white men
shut up in the pen they were building.
they would be easily surrounded and
put to death. The Indians departed
as rapidly as they had come, leaving
three Of their head men at Kipp's re-
quest to protect them from the an
noyances Of struggling bands.
The building of the fort progressed
rapidly and in 70 days from the time
the Indians left, it was completed. 1t
consisted OF a stockade enclosing
square no feet within, upon the sides
of which there were three large build
ings of logs, designed as quarters for
the men, stock house and the trading
room. The gate was protected by an
enclosure IS feet square, the palisades
standing IS feet above the ground,
and the interior Of these being COM
manded by loopholes for cannon and
small arms for the main fort.
Indians Were SuIIen
Promptly on the 18th day the In
dams returned in full force and were
astonished at what they saw. Evil
IDENTIFY they were unprepared to wit
ness such strong defenses and such
readiness to resist attack They were
sullen and refused to trade. Pitching
their lodges in the neighborhood, they
lowered sullenly about the outside OF
the post, plainly showing their il-feel-
ing and distrust.
After exhausting all other measures
to induce them to trade, Kipp resolved
upon a grand stroke Of generosity,
rightly concluding that Hudson's Bay
Co had been active in prejudicing the
Piegans against the American traders
at this new post. Kipp was aware OF
what the Hudson's Bay Co. paid for
furs and peltries and he offered
greatly increased rates sometimes
three or four times as much as the
British gave. At the same time, he

a grand treat to prove the hberalty
of the Americans. He then began OPP
ening kegs of trade whisky which ne
had brought for the purpose. Soon
every Indian in the great camp was
in a state Of intoxication.
The whisky was given out lavishly
for three days, and the Indian camp
was the scene Of carousal and maud
lin Joy. Then Kipp said that his sup
ply had become exhausted. Such
Hberality astonished the Piegans and
elevated the American traders to a
place in the estimation Of the red
men higher by far than that in which
they held the Hudsons Bay Co. men.
When, they asked, was such a thing
known, as a camp Of thousands Of
souls given all the whisky they could
drink and kept drunk for three days.
