At the end of the year 1883 the
buffalo were practically thing of
the past. In some remote recesses
a few scattered punches grazed but
they too were soon routed and
killed. The beginning of the year
1900 saw but two herds of wild buff

in Yellowstone National park.
Bison Society
With only two herds of wild
American bison left, and these, in
spite of government protection, be-
ing slaughtered, few thinking peo-
pie formed an organization for the
purpose of preserving them. This
organization, formed in 1905, was
the American Bison society. DR..
William T. Hornaday was its first
president.
One of the societies greatest
achievements was the establishment
of the Montana bison range on the
Flathead Indian reservation in
northwestern Montana. The 10, $40

THE HIGH MARKET value of
farm animals today, together with
the increased cost of raising them to
maturity, makes losses among live
stock herds extremely expensive.
It pays the farmer and rancher to
know what diseases can strike his
herd, how the healthy ones can be
protected and how outbreaks can
be prevented in the future.
The Veterinary Guide for Farm
ers'' provides just this information in
handy reference form. The book was
written by C. w. Stamm in conjunc-
ton with the faculties of leading
agricultural colleges throughout the
country and was edited by Dallas S.
Burch, former chief of the bureau of
animal industry, USDA.

MONTANA BISON RANGE

A SHORT DISTANCE from our
house, on the sylvan bank of Grant
Creek, was favorite camping
ground of the Selfish Indians. Shady
and fragrant in summer, sheltered
in winter, it was often occupied,
especially in summer, by small par
ties who came and went as their
fancy dictated.
Poignant memories, remain with
me, of the Selfish on their way to
the eastern hunting grounds. Proud
1y riding through the Indian sum-
mer days, they called it, "the time
of painted leaves" they proceeded
in large bands along the trail. Gaily
attired in beaded finery and bright
colored blankets; their horses fat;
dogs well fed; pack animals heavily
laden; they were a colorful, glad,
procession.
AS the years passed the hunting
parties grew smaller; more poorly
clad; the horses were thinner; the
packs diminished; the dogs, gaunt
and weary, trotted slowly. They
traded for less, fearful lest they
could not pay. Then arrived the
cold, shivering November when
only a few struggling parties re-
turned-a poor, hungry, resigned lot.
At last the hushed Indian summer
days came and went but the hunting
parties came no more. Ger the 81
lent, grass grown trail only phan-
tom Indians rode. No longer did
the great plains re-echo to the sound
of laundering hoofs. All that re-
manned of the shaggy brown herds
were huge stacks of bleached bones
white monuments to the monarchs
of the plains.
Bone Pickers
The Canadian Crees, who were
called the 'bone-pickers, and other
bone scavengers roamed the plains,
gathering and stacking these last
remnants of the once great herds
of bison.
When the bison no longer roamed
the plains the redman too ceased to
rove. Buffalos, especially to the
plains Indian, meant his livelihood
With it's passing went the ancient
culture of the Indian as well as his

Much of the credit for this work
belongs to DR.. NJ. ]. Elrod of Mis-
soula. DR. Elrod was one of the di-
rectors of the society and selected
the land upon which the bison were
to be placed. Congress appropriat-
ed $4,000 for the purchase of the
land and $4,000 for fencing it. DR..
Hornaday raised, by popular SUBJ
scription, $4,000 for the purchase
of the nucleus herd with which the
range was stocked.
The original Flathead herd which
numbered 40 head, consisted of three
distinct strains: the Conrad, the
Corbin and the Goodnight.
The Conrad animals, SO in num-
Der, came from the famous Pablo
Allard herd which originated, in the
following manner, from the wild BIZ
son in the Milk River country east
of the Rockies.
Pablo Allard Herd
In the spring of 1873 the Pend
d'Oreille Indians were hunting in
the Milk River country. Six or
phaned calves, whose mothers had
been slaughtered, wandered into the
camp of Whista Chinchilape or
Walking Coyote. The Indian fed
and cared for the young buffalos.
When the band prepared to return
in November, Walking Coyote, his
bride, and Sabine, a 14-year-old
stepson, drove the calves to the ST.
Ignatius Mission.
1t was long wearisome journey
and two of the young calves died
during the first winter. The other
four, two males and two females,
multiplied to a herd of 10. Walking
Coyote sold these to Pablo and AL
lard This was the beginning OF
the Pablo-Allard herd some OF
which were bought by Mr.. Conrad
of Kalispen while the Remainder
were purchased by the Canadian
government and shipped to tn
northern dominion

HUNTERS ASKED TO PICK
THEIR MOOSE CAREFULLY

Carlos Carson, enforcement
agent for the Fish and Wildlife
Service, reminds last minute
hunters that the big bull moose,
particularly those low down in
the valleys, are definitely not fit
to eat now, as it is the rutting
season.. He asks that hunters
look their quarry over pretty
well before shooting so as not
to kill animals that are no good
for meat.
He also states that several
moose have been shot and the
carcasses left to rot, with very
little or no meat removed. The
Izaak Walton League has posted
a $50 reward for information
leading to the arrest and convic-
ton of persons responsible for
such wasteful hunting. Any in
formation of this kind turned in
to the enforcement agent is
strictly confidential, and the in
former will not be named, &C.

Pacific Coast Longshoremen
Vote For Ten Cent Pay Hike

The Pacific Maritime Associa-
ton and the International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's
Union reached tentative agree
ment last week on an increase
of five point forty-nine per cent
of the existing basic straight
time longshore wage rate, or
when translated into cents per
hour, amounts to 10 cents per
hour.
Subject to ratification by both
membership groups the new
wage rate will cover an esti-
mated 1000 longshoremen and
related employees in all Pacific
Coast ports from Canada to
Mexico.
The increase will bring the
longshoremen's straight time
wage rate to $1.92 per hour for
a six hour day, and a five day
work week. Overtime pay at the
rate of $2.88 per hour will be
paid for all time in excess of
six hours a day and for all
work after 500 pm. and before
800 am. The overtime rate
also applies for all work per-
formed on Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays.
A PIMA spokesman said this
increase was granted on the
basis of increased cost of living
since the last wage review, Sep
tember 1949, to the present time,
and in anticipation of a further
increase in the cost of living.
The increase is to become effec-
tive as of 1901 am. September
80, 1850.
A PIMA spokesman stated that
the wage increase was granted
with the recognition that it will
increase cargo handling costs
by at least 1000, 100000 per
year. This cost increase can
only be offset by stability in
labor relations; increased pro-
duction; and an increase in reve-
nues, he said.
Negotiating committees for
union and management will
unanimously recommend the
tentative agreement to respec-
tive memberships for ratif;ca-
ton. -..

The budget for the Alaska

two troops, one sponsored by the
American Legion Post No. 5
with Stan Niegemann as Scout
master and one sponsored by
the Methodist Church including
Jesse Lee Home with Lee Hop
kins as Scoutmaster. A troop of
about 40 Cub Scouts is spon-
sored by the Parent-Teachers
Association with Dan Rose as
leader.
Senator Engebreth and ElWyn
SWetmann are members of the
Executive Board of the Alaska
Council, the governing body Of
the movement in the Territory.
The membership of the two
troops and the cub pack in Sew
ard is upwards of 80 boys this
past year. The Cubs have their
uniforms but there has been
some delay in filling the orders
for uniforms for the older boys.
The Scouts took their place
in parades on Armed Forces
Day and on the 4th of July.
They also were responsible in
a large part for the successful
cleanup campaign of the city
streets and alleys early in the
year.

More Cos Tax"

"Forty-eight per cent of the
Territorial gasoline tax is raised
in the Third Division, but only
one quarter of it is spent on this
division" stated Senator Gun
nard M. Engebreth in a radio
talk Thursday night. Seward
is entitled to much more than
has ever been spent here, either
on the Small Boat Harbor Or on
the highway"
Engebreth also said that al
though the fish-trap referendum
two years ago was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of abolishing the
traps, nothing has been done
about it to this day. He pledged
himself to work for the best in
terests of all the fishermen and
residents of the Third Division
if reelected to the Territorial
Senate. He was president of the
Senate at the last legislature.
Mr.. Engebreth has been visit
ing in Seward for the past three
