Leslie Clare Manchester.

O WoodpeCkcr there in a riven tree,
You're gay a a ~caNalie:
You're Il CLINT OF flashing red to me
On a lane bough high and sere.
You've built a home in the liChened
wood;
You've carved a stairway deep;
Its walls have stormy winds with

As l%ightnings poise and leap.
l hear you in the August heat
When every leaf Is still:
Your ceaseless drum | hear it beat
"Tap-tap' through the hours until
Ny steps go down the valley way
Far, far from the broken tree,
But seeing you yet against the day
A flash of red to me.

state had begun to register applicants
He said the federal security admins
traitor notified him that men between
10 and % win be recruited
Men viii be paid while training, viii

ing a house, unaware that there was
a painters strike on One day he was
waited on" by three painters who
asked him If he hadn't heard about
the strike. He had to ask what strike"
meant. When they told him, he threw
away his paint bucket and brush and
headed off downtown where he ran
into a soldier he had known previous
". Having ditched the painting, and
with no other job in sight, his thoughts
again turned to the army. So he again
enlisted. The army needed men to go
to Yellowstone park And that Is where
he landed within few days.
Bears Running All Over
was the park rather primitive IN
those days?" he was asked.
"Was it primitive? Wen, rather.
About all I saw was bears running all
over the place. Tourists came through
with wagons. If they were smart they
brought along jug Of whisky for the
soldiers, in return for which the SOL
diers would give them all possible adj
vice and assistance in seeing the park. /"
Miller said he wasn't in the park very
long before he took down with some
sort of mountain fever He was given
an honorable discharge and left for
Bozeman to recuperate. In Bozeman
he started a saloon.
While running the saloon he met
man whose name is familiar with all
who have read about the Vigilantes.
He was x. Beidler. the colorful fig
ure who, with Capt James Williams,
took a leading part in the summary
execution Of the road agents. And be-
cause of meeting Beidler, Miller today
wears a watch chain made of gold
nuggets. And where did the nuggets
come from? Here's the answer, as told
by Miller:
"Beidler used to come into my sa-
loon whenever he was in town. When
he wanted another drink he would
beckon me and I would answer by
filling his glass. And each time Beidler
would lay down nugget in payment.
He told me he had taken the nuggets
out of Boone Helms pockets when he
was hanged, along with three others,
from the roof beam of the building
that today serves as the office for the
Virginia City Water Co."
Selling his business in Bozeman,
Miller went TO Billings where he tend
ed bar for time, then to Garland,
Wyo., where he again opened his own
saloon. While in Garland he met
Buffalo Bill. He later moved to Cody
and worked as bartender in Cody's
hotel bar. Miller said Calamity Jane
was a frequent caller in the saloons
he operated. she invariably had a
cigar stuck out Of the side of her
mouth" said Miller.
In more recent years Miller has
worked in and around Butte, includ-
ing five years as q guard at the state |
hospital at Warm Springs. This was
his last employment. Since then he |
has been a man Of leisure.

Industry, Uncle Sam
Solving Super Plane
Fuel Problem Fast

Super aviation motor fuels OF 100
octaine quality are being produced by
American refiners at "a times the rate
Of consumption Of all grades of avia-
ton fuels only three years ago and
plans to triple even this huge ca
pacity within the next II to IS months
are moving so rapidly that already
construction has started or contracts
have been let for Is new plants, with
the highest priority ratings, and doz-
ems of other plants are being planned.
Present capacity to manufacture 100
octaine motor fuel is about 100000
gallons a day. Only few weeks ago
the capacity was 100000 gallons a
day, but the decision of government
purchasers to allow use of 4 &C rath-
er than &C of tetra-ethyl lead In 100
octaine fuel increased the capacity
overnight from is to 20 percent.
These capacities are in addition To
the continuing manufacture Of large
quantities of slightly-lower grade avia-
ton motor fuels of IS and 81 octane
rating. Until three years ago these
grades made up virtually the entire
supply OF aviation fuel. The super 100
octane fuel was still in the laboratory
seven years ago, and even moderate
scale commercial production did not
begin until three years ago.

Business Man Wins

Roy Barber, Great Falls business
man, emerged victorious in an ls-year
battle with Jack Dempsey when he re-
ported receipt Of q check for 81 000,
In settlement Of an account contracted
by the ex-heavyweight champaoa.
The story dates back to 1913. when

of Barber Music Standard FEErniture,
Inc, and at that time head Of the
Barber music store, sold sound eQufp-

Payment was never made. Nothing
was done or could be done about tina
debt until the fall Of 1910, when Demp-
sey was engaged 10 referee q fight &C

At that time Barber started attach
ment proceedings and Dempsey was
served. The ex-pugtlist commended that
he was not In Great Falls at the time

therefore not liable.
At a hearing held before District
Judge @. F. Holt, Barber produced clip
pings and letters proving that Dempsey
had knowledge of the transaction.
Judge Holt awarded Barber $I,119B0.
Barber agreed to settle for 81 zoe.

OLD BLUE LED
MANY LONGHORNS
TO DODGE CITY
UNUSUAL STEER KNEW TRAIL To
cow CAPITAL BETTER
THAN PUNCHERs

The story Of the American Indian
would never be complete without con-
tanning the story Of the buffalo. Any
history Of the southwest after the
Civil war would be greatly ren1iss II
1t omitted mention of Longhorn cattle.
And any account OF the Longhorns,
who swung up the trails from Mexico
and Texas IN countless thousands to
succeed the buffalo on the great plains
areas Of Kansas, Nebraska, the Da-
kotas and Montana. would be lacking
without the story Of Old Blue.
There was a wise animal for you-a
lead steer known from the Pecos to
the Arkansas, In Colorado as well as
Texas
J. Frank Dobie, in his fascinating
book, THE Longhorns," tells the story
Of Old Blue, who also was sometimes
called Blue the Bell Ok"
Says Dobie Of this unusual beast,
"He knew the trail 10 Dodge City
better than hundreds of cowboys who
galloped up its Front street."
Blue was calved down on the Nueces
river, near the Texas coast, but I'M
like most of his kind, he wasn't hazed
northward up the trail and jammed
into stock car, eventually to be cut
into slices or ground into hamburger.
Old Blue lived to the ripe age of 20,
thanks to the brain nestled between
his long horns, and was far more
valuable alive than dead, regardless
of boom beef prices.
Shows His Leadership
When he was years old, Blue was
bought by Charlie Goodnight in a
string of 5000 steers from John
Chisum, Dobie's book relates. The
cattle were cut into two herds and
trailed northward to the Arkansas
river above Pueblo, Colo. Blue, in the
first herd, asserted his qualities of |
leadership Immediately. Every morn
ing he took his place at the point of |
the herd and held it all day.
Powerful, sober and steady, he I'M
derstood the least motion of the point |
men, and in guiding the herd showed
himself worth dozen extra hands.
The cowboys all noted him.
I'm the summer of 1876 the restless
decided to pull up stakes
in Colorado and return to Texas SO
Blue led the herd that stocked the
first ranch in the vast Texas Pan
handle of the Staked Plains.
Goodnight found Scotchman, Adair
by name, with money. Within 10 years
their j brand was showing on the
sides of $4,000 cattle and the A
range embraced a million acres Of
land"
Dodge City, $50 miles to the north,
was the marketing place for the Good
cattle and in 1873 a herd
Of 1000 j A steers was pointed toward c
