Montana Historical Sketches
DeLacy Expedition
BY ANNA NICKOL

LdIldllS q COllolSICllL lloIlobiN0 "a
our states early history, too much
condensation is often practiced, and
the story becomes one of barking
guns, rough crowds in smoky sa-
looms, gold pokes carried, stolen, hid
den, retaken and spent. While not
one phase of this picture is false,
the all-over aspect sometimes de-
ceives. Not enough emphasis is
placed on the simpler, more peace
full pursuits, which were important,
too, in the development of a new
region.
An interesting record of unsuc-
cessful gold hunting was made by
Walter DeLacy's expedition, which
set out for the source Of the South
Snake river, in August, 1863. The
party was made up of disappointed
gold seekers, a few of whom had al
ready figured or were to figure in
other phases of Montana history.
Pretty Well Fixed"
He was, DeLacy wrote, pretty
well fixed for such a trip, having
two horses, enough provisions to last
40 days, good arms and about $40 in
gold dust. One of his horses was a
capricious pack animal, which, in its
efforts to be rid of its burdens, fur
nished excitement for the party.
Once he tangled his lead rope
around a gun tied to the saddle
horse, discharged it, and sent a ball
just over his owners head. Later he
scattered his load all over camp,
then stopped with an expression of
contrite humility and self-reproach,
so / had not the heart to give him
the ~thrashing he so richly deserved"
There are little personal incidents
mentioned: How Jack Gallagher
(who was hanged by vigilantes the
following winter) tried to organize
a war party to steal horses from the
Snake Indians and how he was UNI
able to find a following large enough
to make the undertaking feasible.

carried a whipsaw, in spite of the
nuisance it was, and the number of
repackings it required each day,
hundreds of miles, because if they
found gold, the boys would want to
buy lumber. At last, on the return
journey, he leaned his awkward
tool against a tree and left it there
"I've packed that thing far
enough!" he explained.
No Indian Trouble
The party was young, cheerful
but reasonably cautious while pass

Director, Ms crossley Poll

bNect0t, ms Sf0SStef roH
Latest poll results indicate that
only 56 per cent of all adult citizens
are now likely to vote on November
2. This would make the total turn
out approximately 50 millions. On
the basis OF latest standing of the
candidates, Gov. Dewey would have
a total of 261s millions, President
Truman, 221a millions, Henry A.
Wallace, 2 millions and Gov. Thur
mond OF South Carolina, / million.
There IS very great apathy on
both sides, but it is somewhat
greater among the Democrats. The
poll indicates the probable TURNOUT
of persons preferring Gov. Dewey is
still about per cent greater than
for those preferring President Tru-
man. However, the poll has shown
a small increase in the likely turn
out of Democrats, and no change for
the Republicans. In 1914 this, kpll
showed that one of the factors IN
tributing to Gov. Dewey's defeat
was a lower turnout rate for him
than for President Roosevelt.
In order to ascertain how many
are likely to vote, the Crossley Poll
uses a series of questions to de-
termine, first, whether the person
interviewed meets voting qualifica-
tions, and, second, whether he has
sufficient interest to take the trouble
to vote. The results from these
questions were classified in terms of
high interest. casual interest, and
little interest.
The following table shows that as
of october l highest interest is
among the Thurmond followers,
with Dewey supporters second.

In that event Gov. Dewey, though

These figures, In conjunction with
other recent analyses, suggest that
Gov. Dewey may have reached, or
nearly reached, his peak, and that
President Truman is making a little
progress. Gov. Thurmond already
has reached a high level Of interest,
and may be near his maximum. The
Wallace interest is more casual,
and his likely voters, as shown in a

it looked like everybody had the

newspaper speculation have had
this, that and the other man in
high appointive position. Scots
answer to the question of how
he was getting along with his

typically cryptic. He said he
had eliminated a lot of names
and had built up sizeable iligibil-
ity lists, but had made only one
or two positive selections. ,
SIMILARITY: Opinion herea
bouts is that the new president
and the new governor have one
other common ground. They are
lot surer about who will be
replaced than about who will re-
place them. Since the two exc
cutives have SO many similar
traits, it is anticipated among
capitol square observers that
both will spring surprises and

stances will be persons who

Local Motorists May Learn Things The
Hard Way By Not Obeying Fire Signals
Some people insist on learning things the hard
way.
This seems particularly true when it comes to
the behavior of of citizens who drive auto
mobiles In spite of repeated warnings, in spite of
the fact that is against the state law and in spite
of the fact that they claim they want to live, people
continue to drive automobiles in front of firefight
ing equipment at risk both to themselves and to the
firemen.
Local firemen reported they had narrowly avoid
ed accident when they their way to
cent fire. In this case it was motorst who con-
tnued to drive along the street at slow rate of speed
Immediately ahead of the oncoming fire truck and
then made a left turn right in the trucks path
In that some expert maneuvering of heavy
equipment avoided crash that might well have been
fatal both to the motorist and members Of the fire
department.
The next time it happens, the accident may not
be avoided.
There is nothing in the law which gives motor
lists the right-ofway fire engines, ambulances,
police any other emergency in the line of duty
On the subject the law plainly says motorists should
pull to the right side of the road and stop until the
emergency vehicle has passed and should proceed
only after carefully ascertaining that the path is
clear.
Every time the fire siren sounds here in town
there fragrant violations of the law In addition
to those who insist in hogging the street in front of
fire engine with siren going there those dare
devils who like to the engine or tag along in
its wake at high rate of speed All of them are
just begging for trouble and later someone
is going to be taking last long ride in NICE slow
hearse because he did not have enough to obey
a simple common-sense traffic law.
The local police do good job of assisting the
fremen in their task especially at busy intersections
where they duty, but they could help even
more by making few more arrests of those people
who endanger the lives of volunteer firemen nd
costly municipal equipment just to please their own
Whms about the way they want to drive auto
mobile
Volunteer firemen have enough trouble and dan
ger without having to contend with the added risk
of motorists who behave like FOOLS
