Blood PIasma Saved
Rickenbacker Aide
Navy Flew Survivors
To Funufuti Island

NEW YORK, May 6.-Col. Hans
Christian Adamson, aide to Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker on his Pacific
mission last November, disclosed to-
day that they and other survivors,
after their rescue, were taken by
Navy plane to Funafuti, in the
Ellice Island group
Secretary of the Navy Knox an
nounced April % that "the Ellice
group had been occupied for some
time by Navy forces"
Col. Adamson of Albany, N. Y,
still limping as result of an injury
suffered when the Rickenbacker
plane was forced down at sea, today
said, What really saved my life
was the miracle that on this little
sandpit of an island the Navy Hos
pital Corps and the Red Cross al
ready had blood plasma available
and which was given to me within
about IS minutes after landing. I
would have died within several
hours II hadn't had the plasma."
He said he could not praise too
highly the skill of the Navy flyers
who rescued him on the 2lst day.
He also paid tribute to the dis
cipline of the Army Air Forces crew
aboard Capt. Rickenbacker's plane.
Courage is fine thing, but our
experience demonstrated that dis
cipline will carry on long after cour-
age has run it's course" he said.

Of this and the World War.
Owl said the new pipe line comes
in self f-contained half mile units,
each complete with a centrifugal
pump driven by 20-horsepower
gasoline engine, and can be moved
by cargo trucks and used independ-
emily of any other units.

Owl said:
These self contained sections,
alone or in combination, are said to
be able to deliver gasoline through
swamps and forests or over noun

gallons per minute.
THE pipe also can be used to
assist or even replace floating gaso-

pioneers. One disadvantage Of these
was the difficulty Of keeping them
from the hungry wolves and coyotes
when the fathers we're taking extended
journeys through the wilderness that
was then Montana. Said Father Pal
ladino: @On his way from Fort Ben
ton to st. Peters Mission. Father
Menetrey woke up one morning TO
find himself a sans-culotte. Either his
mount, a clever government mule
that had Jared poorly during the day,
or some coyote, equally hungry and
not less clever, had quietly nibbled
under the tent and made a meal dur
ing the night Of the poor Fathers
garments"
The country" continues the story,
appears to have been a rather In
auspicious one for Father Menetrey.
Overtaken by a binding snowstorm
- another occasion, he lost his way,
and travelled around Square Butte the
whole night in his own tracks. When
daylight came, the storm had partially
abated, and taking now his bearings,
he discovered to his amazement that
whole nights journey had not
brought him a step nearer the mission,

One was the fuel famine when In the
midst of an extremely cold winter,
neither wood nor coal could be
bought, and fences we're cut down to
furnish at least enough heat for
cooking purposes, while some, like
Colonel James Stanford were forced TO
sacrifice furniture in order to keep
warm.
The second memorable occasion was
that Of the ice gorge UP the river. The
outgoing ice damned the waters, and
flood was momentarily expected.
Many took to the hills and spent the
night in the open.
There was q small garrison at Fort
Benton. 1t was established TO protect
that part of the territory In case Of
an Indian outbreak. After the building
Of Fort Assinniboine, no further need
remained for the maintaining Of SOL
diers at Fort Benton, and those there
we're withdrawn.
The Fort Benton post. in 1880 was
In command Of Colonel Moale, a
brother-in-law Of General Gihbon.
During the retention of the garrison,
1t must have been regarded as a So
cial and business acquisition.
At the time there was no public
library in Fort Benton; books we're
scarce, likewise magazines, and intel
lectual stimulus was less than ade-
quate.
The Episcopal church had no
organ, a melodian serving instead. AS
this only covered four octaves, there
was no opportunity for fine instru-
mentation. On the contrary, the ac-
compartments Of songs had to be cur
tailed to meet the possibilities Of the
melodian
Occasionally the choir was improved
by the addition Of O new member.
One Of these was Mr.. Griffith, a civil
engineer, who possessed fine tenor
voice, and formerly sang in a Brook
Iyn, N. Y, church. He also aided In
giving one or two concerts while in
Fort Benton.
There were several denominations
striving to gain foothold in the town.
The Catholics we're early established
there, being the first on the ground,
and this when Fort Benton was post
of the American Fur Co. The Rev.
Jacob Mills was in charge Of the
Methodist church, and the Rev.
James Of Minneapolis struggled vainly
to breath the breath Of life into a
Congregational organization. Rev.
Leonard, who was Congregational mis-
sionary for wyoming, Utah and Mon
tana, often visited the town. He was
a clergyman who always carried with
him copy OF some Shakespearean
play, and kept himself well posted in
what was going on In the world Of re-
Lgion, literature and politics.
He told Of an amusing incident

Living Conditions Are Described at Fort
Benton During Hectic Late Seventies

Fort Benton, in 1879, was in its
transition period, with unlimited ex-
pectations for the future, and with
the best of reasons. Situated as 1t
was at the head Of navigation on the
Missouri, with no rival to dispute its
claim Of being one Of the chief dis
tributing depots In Montana, its
dream Of domination had not yet been
disturbed by the shrek Of the locomo-
tive.

two stages Of development through
which 1t had passed; that Of a fur
trading post, and an indian agency.

goods in the store windows were in
dicative Of the trade for which 1t was
largely intended.
There were three large business

and no rear to the upper portion.
There was nothing imposing about
Front street.
There were several fine residences

which was wen represented. For the
rest, those which clustered on the

The town Of Ryegate must levy taxes
and pay bonds it issued In 1920 TO con-

tana supreme court has held.
In a unanimous opinion written BY
Justice Left Erickson. the court held
the bonds were a general obligation
to the town. that It was not levying
the maximum taxes permitted and that
a tay levy must be ordered and the
bonds paid.

pay for the water system, against H.

covered there. The cold was intense
that winter, which is said to have been
the worst Montana has ever exper-
fenced. Many Of the miners we're ter
ribly frozen, and but for the aid ex-
tended them by Father Ravalli, would
have lost their limbs, and in a num-
Der Of cases their lives.
The coming OF the whites into the
territory the Indians claimed as their
own. led here, as elsewhere under
similar circumstances, to what might
have been expected, trouble between
two races, and a guerrilla warfare en-
sued. The whites were the invaders
the Indians were making a desperate
effort to retain what was theirs. From
the latter part of 1865 to 1870 the
struggle continued, eliminating in the
Baker massacre following the murder
Of Malcolm Clarke.
When the whites began to settle in
the Sun river valley, the Indians de-
manded a new site for the mission
and it was removed to the foot of the
Bird Tail divide.
Before the change was affected
Father Giorda had another trying ex-
Palladino:
Father Giorda had here a very mar
row escape from drowning He was
crossing the Missouri on the ice one
evening toward dark, when the icy
crust gave way under his feet. In
stinctively. in the act of sinking he
spread his arm, which caught on the
ice beyond the break, and kept him
from being carried off by the swift
downstream current He remained
thus suspended by his arms, head and
shoulders above the ice, the current
forcing his lower limbs against the
nether-surface of the crust. In this
most critical position, he shouted Tor
help to his companions, two brothers
and a Blackfeet Indian, who we're SUN
within hearing distance. They has
tened to the rescue, but found it inn
possible to reach him, the ice giving
way under their feet as they attempted
to move toward him. Upon this, the
clever Indian advanced as far as the
ice would bear him up, and by means
of a long lariat, brought the father
out, saving him from what seemed al
most inevitable death. Realizing that

Blackfeet, Father Giorda made on that
occasion a VOW to devote the rest OF
his days, should his superior allow
him, to the salvation Of the Black
feet"
whites Killed BY Indians
1t was not far from the last site OF
st. Peters Mission that some whites
were killed by Indians as was also one
Of the mission hands. This alarmed
Father Giorda for the safety Of those
at the mission, and removing them TO
the west side Of the river, the mission
was abandoned for a short time.
The next year Father Giorda was
called elsewhere, and st. Peters Mis-
sion was attached to that Of Helena,
with Father Imoda in charge Of the
Blackfeet. He went there once a year
ordinarily, but during a smallpox epi-
demic, the father remained there until
It abated. Once while on his way
there, he and his companion, were LETT
without food, their horses and provt~
sions having been stolen by the yery
Indians they sought to benefit.
Others Of their order besides Father
Ciorda met with unpleasant exper-
fences. During the early days Of the
mission, the fathers were forced 70 be
