second chapter of this history
that Mr.. Remines began teaching
regularly at Clntwood in the
year of 1894. Recollections from
different sources do not agree as
to the date. Robert Baker and L.
S. Colley state positively that
Mr.. Remines taught his first term
in the public school here in 1895.
They connect that date definitely
with the events of the great pres
idential campaign of that year.
The deed books in the office of
the Clerk show that he made his
first purchases of real estate In
Chntwood in the year of 1897.
If the year in which Mr.. Re-
mines became schoolmaster in
,ClintWood is uncertain, Or unveri
fled, one matter is certain. After
he came to Dickinson County
Professor" did vast deal for
the cause of education in all this
section AS S. H. Sutherland puts
it, HE was the inspiration, If
not the guide, of education among
us for many years"
To the subscription Schools"
which Mr.. Remines taught in the
winter and spring months came
hundred of young women and
men during the course of years.
They came from Dickinson, Wise,
Buchanan, from Pike and Letch-
er in Kentucky, and in sprink-
lie from Russell and TazeWell.
Many of them boarded in the Re
mines home, and many lived in
the frame dormitories, which he
called Eureka" and ''Maple
Hall" School began at eight
o'clock in the morning and con-
tinued until four. AS if that were
not enough, the professor"
went back at night and taught
advanced classes for two or
three hours. How he survived
such schedule can be explained
/ only by that rugged constitution
that has ever been a marvel to
those who have known him.
One of the most prominent fea
lures of the subscription schools
was the debating society, which
met once a week. The meetings
were well attended and very ell
thusiastic, for there were few dis
fractions at that time Another
feature was the daily chapel SER
vice at the beginning of h
school day. The end of the school
terms were marked by extensive
programs of debating and gener-
al exercises known as entertain
ments."
A majority of the students who
came to these schools were re-
viewing for the teachers examin
atoms which were given in the
spring. 1t is recalled that Mr.. Re-
mines taught in the summer nor
mails for teachers at Big Stone
Gap during the years of 1867
SO.
Mr.. Remines remained as head
of the school in Clintwood for
many years. During his admins
tration, the school was known as
the Clintwood Normal College.
In 1910 he went. to Pound as
teacher, and while there built up
a considerable school, Many stu
dents from Dickinson County fol-
lowed him there.
In the spring Of 1911, he was

Of course, the cost of building
a new Jail would cut deeply into
our public resources and would
thereby cripple our schools. That
leaves us with problem that
could come to a tragic solution.
But it is a problem that cannot
be solved by hysteria, oratory,
and vain sayings. And it cannot
be cleared by following the lead
ership of one who is moved only
by dozen years Of private grief
against the state government, or
one who will ride any horse that
has a popular tag.

No person should be confined
under conditions that may be
harmful to his health. That is the
simple standard set by the Vir-
ginia Board of Corrections. This
board is not trying to force Dick
enson County to build a "hoter'
for criminals. 1t does require the
simplest and plainest standard of
decency. Who could object to
that?

It's Feed, Care Now
That Will Count
By E. P. ORCUTT, Montana Extension Service

to save feed from now until May
and lose 500 worth of livestock for
every $40 they save ON the feed bill.
This is an established fact right now,
as evidenced by the feed orders that
have been cancelled during the last
couple of weeks.
The "old hands" didn't cancel their
orders. They went ahead and moved
the feed in-"on the frost"-even
though the hills were getting bare.
Feed Will Save Money
A very important factor during
the next six weeks is that strong
feed will be a money-saver ON weak
livestock, rather than an expense.
Take a look at the cows in the pic
ture. Either n of these two cows
will need two pounds of pellets per
day from now until after calving if
she is sure to be saved. Only the
best of hay can save them without
pellets or cake. Grazing alone can't
possibly do it.
These same remarks apply to
weakened breeding cows. The ex-
pertinent station was feeding its
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-03-15

range band one-third pound of pei
lets per day, plus wild hay and graz
ing, when they could get it. The ewes
went downhill" so fast during the
bad weather that a half-pound of
barley had to be fed m order to hold
them up. Now they are m good,
strong condition again-but they
still need their pellets.
When COWS were $40 OF $50 and
ewes were So or 81, the owner had

save them? A sheep peH brings
about So and a cowhide about So.
Shortage of stock-water was a
large factor in the heavy shrink all
stock suffered in January and Feb
ruary. In many instances it was en-
tirely impossible to provide water
simply because streams were drift
ed level-full with snow. This water
shortage should not be a serious fac
tor for the balance of the winter al
though it is important enough for

spent 81 or S. per head for feed. Is
that true when cows are $175 and
ewes are $25?
Little Money in Pelts
Another point. Many eastern Mon
tana stockmen have already spent
$40 per COW OF $6 per eve for feed.
Would it be smart to stop there and
risk death-loss if So more would

the only trouble in the western part
of the state and in the Milk River
country. The cold made a lot of
stockwater shortage which, in turn,
caused extra shrink in the livestock.
Many mountain valleys had no spe-
cial winter trouble except for, per-
haps, stockwater.
Another really big problem was
a heavy snow cover on winter ranges
in southeastern Montana, where
many stockmen have to depend on
grazing out all winter. The third
and most critical difficulty was clos
ing of all means of transportation,
even to the point where teams and
saddle horses could not make it.
Emergency Relieved
The accompanying map is by far
the best means of outlining the state
picture on the winter situation. AS
of March first, most of the emer-
gency conditions were relieved.
Road clearing operations and mild,
thawing weather were equal factors
IN accomplishing this.
Had wind, cold and snow contin-
ned, many Montana counties would
have now been in as bad condition
al the worst areas in other states.
And-the calendar says we can still

grass comes.
There has already been substan-
tial livestock loss in the critical area.
Some numbers have been reported,
but not eve the stockmen them
selves will know the total losses be-
fore spring. A quarter of a million
cattle and $4,000 sheep are the es-
timated population numbers in the
critical area alone.
Losses Not Known
There are two reasons why losses
cannot be estimated now. True, any
stockman knows how many live cat
tie he can account for, but he hopes
and believes that he will still find
some of those he is short at the
neighbors or even out in the hills"
This Is the first reason-"you don't
know they're dead till you've seen
the carcass"
On the other hand, most sheep
men already know their death loss
to date but they still can't tell how
many ewes will come through lamb
ing and the critical new grass pc
Rod. This is the second reason loss
es cannot yet be estimated.
Extra Feeding Needed
Warm weather and open graz
ing will not alone take care of
breeding cows and ewes. The
heavy shrink thai all eastern
Montana livestock has suffered
makes ii certain that two more
loss periods are ahead. The
first dangerous time is calving
or lambing. Without extra feed.
many of the breeding females
will still die. The second risk
is when the new grass starts.
All of the older stockmen kno
of these two spring hazards. Thel
are many younger ones and eve
quite a few who are gray-haire
but who have had only six or eigl
years experience in the range iv'

every stockman to give it first at
tention and try to furnish his stock
all they car drink.
Good Teamwork
When things got serious in Janu-
airy it was gratifying to see how
everyone went to work to take care
of real distress. The bureau of land
management men were among the
first who went to the aid of county
commissioners and ranchers.
Several counties spent themselves
Unto the red" to take care of the
roads. Some stockmen spent hun
dreds and even thousands of their
own dollars and never asked for
help in clearing the roads. A very
few others, however, asked for fed
eral aid so they could get their mail
and go to a movie.
Local filters really went all out to
help isolated people. Literally thou
sands of ranch calls were made by
these light airplanes. For many
weeks they were the only contact
snowbound ranches had, and again
and again important feed, fuel and
food orders were placed by these
fliers. In some instances human life
or health was saved. A great deal
of the time, these airmen didn't
know-or care-whether their en-
penses would be paid.
Throughout this whole emergency
there was n man who carried the
load, who was on the job "a hours
per day, who made the major deci-
sions and got the job done. This was
highway department. True, every
n helped who could, highway
crews, county crews, county officers,
private citizens, the whole extension
service, but Scott Hart was "M"-
and he did it!
This Is Only March Is
Many springs we have had SIX
full weeks of feeding after the mid
die of March. In some years it has
ven been May 9Th or 10th in east
ern Montana before good green
grass. There are still several bad
possibilities for which stockmen
should prepare before the frost goes

When the ground thaws and the
water runs, moi even light plane.
can travel.
Enough feed should be On HAND
to last till early May.
A weak cow or W. can still din
after an expensive wintering.
I There is still feed to be bought

the state.

The two, he said, have lived in
a Coral Gables hotel since their
arrival from Ohio early last
month. Ramsdell and Ashton, he
said. arrived there February 28
and took adjoining rooms.

the "anti-racketeering" charges
may be placed against the two
men. Mr.. Fay said:
After defense counsel is ar
ranged for them. the whole situ-
alton will be examined to see
which are applicable to the case. "
FBI spokesmen considered the
anti-racketeering statute the
most stringent one pertinent to
the crime. but said it also would
be possible to file local charges,
such as resisting arrest.
The latter charge might be filed
in connection with arrest of Ash
ton and Ramsdell in a Pennsyl-
