Idaho through the Bitterroot, the
Big Hole valley and on toward Can
ada. You can find the spot where
jim Bozeman, famous trailblazer of
the west, was killed by ar Indian ar
row and where a small group of pio-
neers in a wagon train was sur
rounded and killed by Indians.
Visiting at another spot, you may
be able to picture in your mind a
wagon train winding over hills and
mountains, through river beds and
sink holes. You see a single wagon,
separated from the rest of the wagon
train, come slowly out of a draw
near the banks of the Upper Vel
lowstone.
Along a line of low hills to the
right of the wagon, other eyes see
the wagon also. No more than a
quarter mile from the draw, the war
whoops begin and the next day the
main train finds a looted smoldering
wagon frame. AS they go on they
leave fresh graves behind. Today
these graves are on u. S. No. 10

highway department.
Origin of Markers
The reason that marker and a hun

historic Oh other points of interest
along Montana's hi highways came
about something like this. In the
summer of 1885, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
H. Fletcher were enroute to Chicago.
Fletcher was at that time plans and
traffic engineer for the highway de-
partment. Along the road in other
states they noticed that tourists were
informed about local points and cen
tiers of interest. They thought of the
richness of detail which might be
interesting to all the travelling pub
lie in their own state. The idea fol
Historical Markers" was born.
Don McKinnon, chief engineer fol
the highway department, was chiefly
responsible for the actual erection
of the markers and the turn-out
along the road where travellers ma,
stop to read. Fletcher wrote the text
for the signs, and Irwin Shorty
Shope of Helena was the artist re
sponsible for the design and illus
trations.
Today a small booklet called His
torical Markers" which contains tn
full text on all state historical mark
ers, is in print and may be obtaine,
from the Naegele Publishing Co. c

 SACRED, DECLARES / HEARING WITNESS

SEATTLE, Dec. 1.--tR-A former member of the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union (CIO) testified at NLRB hearing yesterday that he would be afraid to ship to sea with out clearance from the union.
 The witness, M R.. McAIonagle, said he would fear for his safety if he did.
 The hearing is on a National Labor Relations Board complaint. It charges the union and numerous ship owners with unfair labor prac- tices. It is based on charges of dis crimination brought by the rival Pacific Marine Stewards Union fAFL).
 McMonagle testified earlier that he had been denied employment at the Alaska Steamship Company office and referred to the union | hiring hall.
 The company attorney drew from him on cross examination the coni- ment that he would not accept a "job off the dock" even if it were offered because the hiring hall is sacred to the union."

COAL MINERS
 GO ON 3-DAY
 WEEK DEC. 5
Lewis Authorizes Making Separate Contracts Na-
 tionaI Policy Abandoned

NEW YORK;. Dec. 1.-R-John l.. Lewis today reinstated the three day work week in hard and soft coal mines across the country be- ginning Monday December 5.
 The work-week will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, as it was all summer.
 Lewis authorized the making of separate contracts with each coal company, abandoning the recent policy of striving for nationwide contracts.
 The policy was approved by the 2o0-man United Mine Workers Committee which has been stand ing by here all week and which allowed a truce to expire at mid- night without moving to stop a new walkout.
 Lewis called in reporters to the policy committee meeting on tne mezzanine floor of the Hotel Roose- welt and had copies of the resolu- ton distributed. He said
 "The resolution speaks for itself land there will be no amplification. " Lewis first mention of making a three-day work week was at the UNIV convention a year ago. He said then that employment in the industry should be stabilized "and if there is three days work, we'll all work three days"
 "An Together" "If we are going to starve, we'll all strave together" he told 5000 delegates to that convention in 1 Cincinnati
 Last July l, Lewis scrapped his
 no-contract, no-work' policy by putting the three-day week into operation, and extended the old agreement.
 On September 19 the miners
 walked out saying they were start inf "no-day work week" Lewis authorized anthracite miners, chief ly in eastern Pennsylvania, and soft coal miners west of the Mississip- pi, to return to work but the ESQ., 000 other soft coal miners stayed
 on strike until Lewis and his policy committee called a truce November g. Lewis strategy is in the form of a compromise because it keeps the coal miners at work before Christi
 mas, thus reducing the threat of a revolt among the coal diggers who have been reported in several stat ss to be grumbling about meager earnings this year.

WASHINGTON-A young Navy veteran stood outside the Juvenile Delinquency Court in Denver, Colo, back in 1922 He had tried eleven times to get an appointment with Judge Ben Lindsay. the famed Juv- emile expert, and each time Lind says secretary had said no.
 But the young veteran persevered. Finally he caught Lindsay as he went out to lunch, and shortly thereafter became his assistant pro bation officer.
 The young veteran was Oscar Chapman. And if he had not pers- evered both in Denver and Tn Washington, he would not be taking the oath as Secretary of the Inter for today.
 Chapman has been member of the Little Cabinet longer than anyone else in Washington.

 STATEHOOD
Delegate Says New Seue. fary of Interior 10
 Boost Issue
By Charles D. Watkins

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.--tR-Os- car L. Chapman, new Secretary ot the Interior, has said he is ready to devote the resources of the De- partment to attain statehood for Alaska and Hawaii next year.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska says that he had lunch with Chapman and the new Secretary told him he was ready to pull out all the stops" to try to get Congress to vote statehood for the territories next year.
 Bartlett quoted Chapman as say ing he had conferred with Pre- sident Truman just before the Ex- ecutive left for Florida and that MT. Truman reaffirmed his desire to bring both Haiwaii and Alaska to statehood.
 The administrations stand on statehood also was reaffirmed by William Boyle, Jr, Democratic Ma tional Chairman, at conference Tuesday with Victor c. Rivers member of the Alaska Senate and Chairman of the Territorial Demo- cratic Central Committee, Bartlett said
 Secretary Chapman" Bartler continued, believes that much special legislation relating to Al. aska, alwayE difficult to enac since it is likely to be suborinatec to pressure on Congress to consider national affairs, will be unnecessary if statehood becomes fact.
 Chapman is realist. He know. statehood will not cure every las little ailment but he knows too il will do more than any other ont thing to put Alaska on the road tc progress
 Both Alaska and Hawaii state hood bills have been approved by the House Public Lands Committee They now are in the hands of the Rules Committee, which would no, clear them for House vote thi! | year.

BRASS" MEET ENDS; TO GO ON YEARLY, GEN. WINNING HOPES

Announcing that the conclave of military and governmental leaders in Alaska was concluded this morn ing, Lieut.. Gen. Nathan F. Twining said today at the Chamber of Com merce luncheon that the same type of meeting would be attempted in the future on yearly basis.
 General Twining explained the meetings purpose in short add ress, preceding the main talk given ty Kenneth J. Kadow, Alaska Field Committee head, who brought the men together.
 Explaining that because many eff forts were duplicated by various agencies in the Territory, General Twining said the meets main pur- pose was to thrash out main ob- jectives in transportation and com munication, so that all govern- mental bodies would know what the other was doing, and Congress would not be confronted with sim liar requests from several bureaus at once
 "We'Il get in trouble" the Gen. eral said, If we don't all work together. This meeting enables us to know what the other fellow IS toing and wants to do, and thus cur plans can be coordinated.
 He stated that transportation problems brought up had nothing to do with commercial transpor- tation, but included only "our own headaches"
 Kadow, pointing out that the Interior Department for the first time was adopting policy of ask ing Alaskans to shape the depart ment's policies for Alaska, declared the two most important things so far as the Territory was concerned were CD statehood and @ the development till now pending.
 He said he and Assistant Secre- tary Warne had personally talked with more than 5000 Alaskans to obtain ideas for the development plan. He said progress was halted by premature publication of the corporation" plan which was not acceptable to even those whc thought it out, but that the new bill carried none of the old ones criticized points.
 "The old Ickes formula of let it stay in the icebox' is done with, he said Two fundamental facts exist here now-first, to get de- lenses organized, and second. to develop resources as fast as econom- ically feasible.
 RESOURCES DROPPING
 "Our present developed resources are hard pressed" he continued i've burn two billion barrels of oil year: our coal is dropping rap idly: therefore we must find out what's in Alaska and work out plans to use its resources"
 He explained the departments goal was 30O,OO0 persons in Alaska in 10 years, which was "definltely obtainable, provided the risk capi- tai is available to start things
 He said no one here can say the Territory has enough money for It's own development, and such con dition makes a development plan necessary.
