FAIR WEATHER LETS CARNIVAL OPEN TO
 HUNDREDS LAST EVE

With good weather prevailing yes terday. the Pacific Northwest Shows opened last night under the glare of hundreds of lights for a weeks run.
 A strange thing it was to see kids almost ready for high school experiencing their first ride on the merry-go-round and octopus. All rides did land office business.
 The merry-go-round did not get a chance to stop before the horses would be filled with new riders. Many kids had to wait two and three rides before getting chance to sit astride the horses.
 It was amusing yet heart-warm- ing to watch one little girl about five years old take several rides on the midget sized cars. Shy as she was, her eyes sparkled with excitement and pleasure over driv- ing her first car,
 But the youngsters were not the only ones to roundly enjoy them selves last night Reluctant as he may have seemed to act, one father took his two kids to the monkey show and then to the Mockey Mouse show with 60 white mice.
 Above the cry of the barkers could be heard the shrieks of ex- citement as the teen-agers and adults rode the rollo-plane.
 The old penny pitch at wide mouthed glasses had been turned into dime affair and still drew the gang of customers
 So teachers, if your students have other things on their minds today and the next few days, ex- cuse them for it's the first carniva. that most of them have seen.

The A. B. Cook Story
an Epic in Montana Hereford History
By LARRY GILL

WHEN A MULE auctioneer
Climbed onto a crude platform one
brlsk October day in 1928 and
started clipping off cattle at the
rate of $1,000 a minute, he probably
did not know the difference be-
tween a smooth mouth and a heifer-
cite. The location was a ranch a
few miles west of the little cowtown
OF White Sulphur Springs.
They were selling out A. B. Cook.
and bid by bid they were tearing
down what human energy and pride
had constructed. Cook, the baggage
clerk, the grocery clerk, the mule
skinner, the contractor, the million
aire. Cook, the Hereford cattle
breeder.
The crowd was composed of cow
men from nearly every section of
the United States and Canada. IF
the auctioneer didn't know cattle.
the crowd did. They were sitting
IN on the dispersion of one of the
most famous Hereford herds in the
world and it was going, going
gone.
Famous Herd Scattered
So went the Hereford herd of A.
b. Cook, Oct. Is, Is and II. 1928.
The Panama family ties were broken
and the great family name was vir-
tually lost to Hereford history.
What had contained the greatness
Oh human energy and pride had
also contained its seeds of weakness.
1t took three days and a 1853, 700
sale total to complete the destruc-
ton. The largest purebred Hereford
dispersion in history-over 1000
been whipped together
IN 10 days time. Ten days notice.
Cook could have stopped it in the

second day of selling, but the Cook
pride was an unbending thing:
These people came from all over
the country for a sale-"T'm giving
them a real sale!"
His friends called him A. B.
his enemies, that which could not
be repeated here. For Cook was a
man of intensity; he was intense in
his likes and dislikes, in his CONVEX
satlon and in his laughter; he was
intense in his business and in his
friendships; he carried no bag of
tricks, but he did carry a powerful
wallop, both literally and physically.
His outlook was broad, which
made him a heavy investor. AS a
builder with tremendous ~organiza-
tional ability, he could carry through
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

the things he started, but it gave
him a hard and busy life.
Came West in 1883
Born in Wisconsin in 1864, Cook
came west in 1888. He worked for
a while on the "79" ranch. then in
a grocery store. Later he was bag
gage master at the IN. P" in Hell
n o after that railway entered
the town. Later he went into the
contracting business and was in
charge of the construction of the
Montana Central railway (now the
Great Northern between Great Falls
and Butte.
AT this time Cook was in charee
OF 5000 men, part of whom were dig
ging the ~6,000-foot tunnel near
Wlckes. Soon after this, with a part
ner, Cook held several million dol
lars worth of construction contracts
IN Canada. Earlier he was state au-
dltor for Montana, from 1892-1896.
