GIVE FIGURES
ON WOOL INCOME

Montana produced %, 1858, 900
pounds of wool in 1945 and IT,
$685. 900 pounds in 1914, accord
ing to the final estimates of
the Bureau of Agricultural Ec-
onomics.
The IA per cent decline in
1945 production from the pre-
vious year was principally due
to a marked reduction in sheep
numbers. An estimated 1862, 900
head of sheep were shorn in
1945 compared with 3,131 900 in
1914. The 1945 clip averaged
one-tenth of a pound more
than the year before.
Woolgrowers' income from
sales of wool was estimated at
$10,5 42 900, IA per cent below
the $12,261, 900 earned in 1914.
The average price at local ship
ping points was "A cents per
pound both years.
Sharing second place with
Wyoming in wool production for
previous years, Montana coded
this position to the neighboring
state, where 1851, 900 pounds
of wool were produced last year.
ALI of the western states ex-
cept Colorado showed less wool
produced in 1945, with an eight
per cent reduction recorded for
the group as a whole. Idaho's
decline of 10 per cent rated
next to that for Montana, fol-
lowed by Wyoming with a sew
en- per cent drop and New
Mexico and California, each
down five per cent.
Texas, the leading wool-pro-
ducing state, had a clip of TO-
Isl 600 pounds in 1945, only 1.3
per cent below the 1914 clip.
Labor was the main factor in
wool production and states
nearest the main supplies of
labor were less handicapped
and showed relatively less de
cline in production from 1914
to 1945.

Dennis Moron. Who Helped Establish Fort
Custer. Visits Here. Tells OF Experiences

were marked and each officers
name was put at the head of
the grave. The dirt was washed
off the soldiers bodies and they
were lying there just as they
had fallen.
I'VE were the first white men
at the scene of the battle ex-
cept for Reno's outfit, which
arrived just a few days after
the battle.
1.-TWO months after our visit
to the battlefield, two COM
panies of the second cavalry
who fought in the battle under
Reno came back to Fort Gus
were Captain Mix, Captain
Spauldin and Captain Egan,
That made seven companies at
Fort Custer, four of infantry
and three of cavalry.
AT that time I was working
for Borup, who was now perma-
nent post trader, and I worked
in the officers club room. The
officers would come to the club
room and snend a good part of
the night fighting all of these
battles over again. All that ]
know about the battle as it was
fought I learned from hearing
these officers talk.
after we had been at Fort
Custer for a while, the 10 Sioux
scouts that came with us were
sent back to the Cheyenne ag-
ency in the Dakota territory
At that time they were of no
use at Custer, for the Crows and
Sioux were enemies, and the
Sioux could not be sent out
anywhere for fear the Crows
would kill them. The command
ing officer took UP the matter
with the Crow Indian agency
and got 10 Grow Indians to
come to Fort Custer and enlist
as scouts. These scouts were
still in service there when !
left in May, 1878. There was no
way for me to leave the fort
until the June rise made it
possible for a steamboat to come
up the river. I wanted to get
away, SO a discharged soldier
by the name of Camel and I
built a skiff. We went down the
Big Horn into the Yellowstone
and on into the Missouri. We
travelled until we came to the
Cheyenne agency, which we had
left a year before. It was locat-
ed near the present site of
Pierre, S. D. The trip was very
hard, for we could not travel
much in the daytime because
the whole territory was full of
hostile Indians"
Mr.. Moran said there was no
sign of habitation here when
he first saw the junction of the
Big Horn and Little Horn rivers.
He said he found his trip here
very interesting and was glad
to revisit the scenes of his in
teresting early-day experiences,

Dennis Moran, SO, who came
to Fort Custer with the four
infantry companies who estab-
lished the fort, visited Hardin
and the Custer battlefield last
week.
Mr.. Moran has a certificate
of discharge from the U. S.
army showing that he was a
private with a detachment of
Indian scouts and that he
served out of Fort Sully, Da-
kota territory, and was dis
charged on April 26, 1882. He
also holds papers from the
quartermaster general showing
that he served at Fort Sully,
Dakota territory, and other
places on the Missouri river
over a period of years. He is
the only white man now living
who saw such service.
A resident of Lake Andes, S.
D., he is an honorary member
of Post No. $685. v. F. W., and
of the Ulysses Reed Post No.
257 of the American Legion,
the only all Indian Legion post
in the United States. He is
president of the Charles Mix
County Memorial society and a
member of the 1875 Black Hills
Pioneers society and a Sind de-
gree member of Oriental Con-
sistory, Scottish Rite, Yankton,
S. D.
He was accompanied to Har-
din by his friend, Clifton s.
Smith.
Mr.. Moran told of some of
his experiences here as follows:
In the spring of 1877 I was
with the Cheyenne agency on
the Missouri river with my par
ents. I was IT years of age at
that time. There were four
companies of the 18th U. S. in
fantry under the command of
Colonel Buhle of the 18th U. s.
infantry and 10 Sioux Indians,
who were enlisted Scouts.
I'VE were ordered to 60 to
the mouth of the Little Horn
and establish a fort that was
to be called Fort Custer. A man
by the name of James Robb was
appointed post trader and I
was employed by him. I came
with him to Fort Custer and
camped on the bank of the Big
Horn close to the mouth of the
Little Horn. In a few days
everyone that could get away
went to the battle grounds of
the Custer massacre. I was one
of those who went.
"This was just a year after
the battle. The bodies of the
soldiers lay on the ground just
as they had fallen. The officers
of that command had been
partly buried in a shallow hole
and sagebrush had been put
over them. But only a little dirt
had been thrown over the
bodies of the enlisted men, just
where they fell. Officers graves

depot wrist watches, persons, photographs of combat act:c-:. jewelry. etc.
 For this reason a depot rule re- quires that all civilian employees who handle personal items must be searched before leaving the ware houses. As further insurance against loss or theft, these valua- bles are kept locked up in vault like room.
 Commanded by Col. A. c. Ram sey of Osage City, Kan, the depot originally went into operation in Normandy on D-day plus 28. At that time the unit consisted of 39 enlisted men and four officers.
 Its staff now numbers 816 civil ians, 176 American enlisted men. 20 officers, and 250 German pris- oners of war. The German POWs are used chiefly for the heavier work of shipping and packing.
 The civilians are French, sev- eral hundred of whom are clerks in the correspondence and file sec tion. Inasmuch as few of them speak English, each clerk is thor oughly schooled in all English v-o- cabulary which pertains to his par ticular specialized job.
 In this way the language dif iculty is easily overcome and the work of the depot is carried on with a maximum of efficiency.
 Unlike most lost and found de- partments this one at Folembiay is not predominantly an umbrella stand, but if it's bicycles you're missing they've got plenty. . dogs and dolls are added, py I l quest, to these boxes. For the v seamen, the toy is the most pre- e ious part of their gift, for mal g Norwegian children born during t t war, have never seen a toy.

 AT BRAY, AISNE, FRANCE, the United States Army operates what is probably the largest 1ost-and-found department in the world largest and proba- bly, the queerest, too.
 Fer here in the quartermaster personal effects and baggage depot anything is liable to turn up, any thing from live hand grenades and armed booby traps to stuffed snakes.
 During the last year of opera tion up to July l. 1945 the depot has handled 100000 pieces of bag gage or other bits of personal eff fleets. But despite this huge turn over there still remains unclaimed and unprocessed another 100000 items.
 Because the same men who used to forget their umbrellas or brief cases when they got off busses back home are at present in the Army, thousands of pieces of lost property are now finding their way to the personal effects depot.
 Most of the items, however, be- came separated from their owners through no fault of the individual. This bass violin, that 600-pound engraved bronze slab, or even this full-sized piano may have become lost because it's owner became a battle casualty, was captured or listed as missing.
 In fact, 41 per cent of all the personal effects, other than ordi- Articles made and sent to the War Comforts Department of The Salvation Army in New York by Home League members have includ- ed a great many knitted mittens, wcolen helmets and sweaters-many distributed among Norwegian .ner- hant seamen.

nary baggage, handled by the de pot belonged to men who had been wounded, and hospitalized.
 Many of these injured men have been transferred from hospital to hospital, sent through replacement companies for eventual reassign- ment, or have been redeployed making it extremely difficult to return lost property.
 For this reason the depot main- tains a research bureau which writes letters of inquiry and con suits Army machine records units in an effort to locate the soldier owner of missing articles.
 Forwarded to Kansas City
 Personal effects of men killed in action are forwarded by the Fol embray depot to the next of kin through the Army effects bureau in Kansas City, Mo.
 Before transferring the proper ty, however, the Kansas City de- pot first determines that the per son to receive the property is the legitimate heir as indicated by the soldier in his Army records. | Money is the easiest of all con- modities to handle. The CT gold is not forwarded to owners, or in case of deaths to beneiciaries, but is turned in to Army finance and credited to the soldiers accounts. In this manner during the past year S1,S76,000 have been steered home to rightful owners.
 Many valuable items, other than cash, are also found among the personal effects picked up by the men who have not been outsid Norway in the past six years, an who have been made destitute the war. Salvation Army Hon League-made garments are tittin out abcut 200 s1amen a week 2 the present time

W0MEN'S LEAGUE, SALVATlON ARMY,
 DOES GOOD WORK

The Salvation Army Women's Home Leagues membership consists not only of women members of The Salvation Army, but other women who are interested in The Salvation Army program and desires a place where they can contribute to the good of others.
 Its membership has grown to one of the largest international groups ot women in the world.
 Alaska owes dept of gratitude to the Women's HOme League. Thousands cf articles made b. Home League groups in the Stats, knitted articles. mending kits, afg- hans, lap roses, hospital slippers, so. ks, handkerchiefs and other ar ticles were sent to Alaska and giv- en to the men of the armed forces.
 Foreign ProgrGm
 At present the Home Leagues are concentrating on the needs ot war torn countries with the following program of service:
 Women memters of Salvation Army Home Leagues throughout the country have sent thousands of old pcokstbooks filled with household and personal articles to women in war devastated countries of Europe in the last few months. Each pocketbock was filled with such ar ticles as needles and pins, hooks and eyes, thread, alarming cotton, thimble. buttons and bias tape, washcloth, tcoth brush and soap riches, indeed, for housewivcs whose supplies of such honey things have long sInce been used.
 PostWGr Acticities
 This is one of many of the post war activities in which Home Leagues in all parts of the United States are now engaged. Home Leagues, sponsored by The Salva- tion Army, have both Salvationists and on-Salvationists as members. There are about 1,50O Home Leagues in the United States, with roughly 10000 members.
 The making of layettes is another Home League project. These items are sent to The Salvation Army War Comforts Department, and the ar ticles are distributed where needed. Thousands have been sent over seas, where infants garments oi all kinds are scarce.
 Garments To HolLanC
 Women in Home Leagues in Chicago area sent 10,80o garments valued at s120O0, to the children of Holland. The average box con- timing six pairs of baby shoes, BOT pairs of girls panties, 29 pairs of woolen socks, four woolen sweat CTS. 34 baby blankets, baby bonnets, robe blankets, children's night gowns, 43 diapers, children's slips, baby shirts, girls dresses, five cans of baby powder and five cans of soap
 Baby clothes have also heen sent by Home Leagues of Indiana and Michigan.
 For ConUGleScentS
 Afghans and lap robes, to go to oonvalescents in veterans hospitals are being made by Home League groups.
 One slipper group in the Middle West sent large shipments of carpet slippers to hospitals in the Europ- can area, and to Salvation Army military chaplain for distribution to men on hospital ships
 The Indianapolis Home Leagut made a lerge number of rag doll. for children of the Netharlands many of whom have never knov1 the joy of having doll.
