OPINIONS LESS POSITIVE ON
SOME BUREAUS

With some other agencies not quite
so closely connected with everyday
farm operation, opinions were less
positive. Few recommendation were
made for Forest Service, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, or Commod-
ity Exchange.
The Forest Service, being opera
tive in less than half the counties,
brought recommendations from only
% counties. These included approp-
ration of funds for control of nox-
ious weeds in the forests to prevent
spreading to non-timber areas; ex-
pansion of utilization roads in the
forests, appropriation of funds to
control stock distribution, range i'm
provements, etc.
BAE, a small but highly important
statistical agency, came in for praise
as well as criticism, but major senti-
ment was that this agency is doing ex-
cellent work in it's field.
Commodity Exchange comments
were sparse, indicating a widespread
lack of information on it's operations.

search Administrator was recogniz-
ed by Is of the counties with most
being of the opinion that the bureau
and its functions be retained as isl.

I RETURN TO MONTANA

PETER AND WERE now alone.
Thomas Waymack had gone out of
my life forever.
My sister Mary had given mother
a home with her and she offered to
care for my son also while sought
some remunerative employment.
The Bar-U ranch needed cook
and for them I worked several
months. longed to return to Mon
tana, but I remained in and around
High River nearly year before
coming back to Missoula.
Peter remained with Mary. Soon
after my arrival I applied for a di-
vorce from my husband. In due
time the decree was granted me by
Judge Frank Woody of the Garden
city.
One morning while walking up
Higgins avenue in Missoula I met
J. R. Latimer, my fathers old-time
friend. Learning of my unfortunate
circumstances he offered me a job
as housekeeper. worked for Mr..
and Mrs. Latimer of Grass Valley
until married Andrew D. Magee.
I Become Mrs. Magee
Andrew Magee was one of the Lat
inner ranch hands. Sandy haired,
with twinkling blue eyes, he was
droll, good natured and industrious.
Of Scotch-Irish descent he possessed
the true Scotchman's thrift. His
business ventures usually resulted in
financial profits, which gain, seemed
always to accumulate to his advan-
tage.

Montana Memories
BY IDA S. PATTERSON

knew it would be forever. While
on buggy ride up the Lo Lo one
summer day, promised to become
his wife. We planned wedding
trip to High River, Alberta. Peter
would come back with us. My cup
of happiness, I thought would be
full to overflowing in home with
my small son and Andy.
Regretfully bade the Latimers
goodbye and went by train to Leth-
bridge, Alberta, where I waited for
Andy, who was travelling with a
team and wagon. When he arrived
we drove the short distance to Fort
Mcleod, where we were united in
marriage on Sept. 4, 1895. We went
on to High River. 1t was love at
first sight with Andy and Peter. The
three of us happily returned to Mis-
soula, making the trip in three
weeks.
The next winter Peter and I lived
in Missoula and my husband worked
at logging camp near town.
Montana Becoming Civilized
Montana was becoming civilized.
Its territorial days had passed and
it had attained the dignity of state
hood. Missoula was taking on the
aspects of modern, busy city.
Schools were well established,
churches founded, civic organiza-
tions flourishing.
The whistle of the steamboat no
longer re-echoed along the Missouri.
Pack trains and freight wagons plod-
ded the dusty trails only in the more
remote sections of the state. Passen-
gers on fast trains comfortably and
safely looked out upon a country

where, little more than a dozen
years before, roamed the Redman
and unknown millions of bison.
Only the Indian reservations were
yet wild country.
In the spring of 1896 we left Mis-
soula and came to the Flathead res
ervation. My Flathead blood gave
me the right to live on the reserve.
Not so, my white husband. He was
not allowed to stay unless he was
employed by an Indian or obtained
a permit from the Indian agent.
We went to work, Andy as hired
man and as housekeeper for MIR.
and Mrs. Charles Allard Sr. on their
ranch on Mud creek about three
miles west of Roman.
The commodious Allard residence
and their other substantial ranch
improvements, waving fields of oats
and wheat, hogs, poultry, hundreds
of head of cattle and horses bespoke
the well-to-do early-day reservation
rancher. 1t was ON the unfenced IN
dian reservations that the bonanza
cattle ranching days made their last
stand.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-01-15
Roundup Time

Autumn rolled around and it was
roundup time. Andy rode with the
cowboys. I drove the chuckwagon
and cooked for them over a camp
fire. In rain or shine the appetites
of the hungry riders must be salts
fled. There were about 20 men in
the Allard outfit. Range etiquette,
though, required us to feed all who
stopped at our camp.
The "Cross-riders" were frequent
boarders. Grazing over the reser-
walton were many head of livestock
owned by the Roman Catholic Mis-
sion at St. Ignatius. Their brand
was cross, hence the name "Cross-
riders" While they were riding the
range no provision was made for
these cowhands, so they ate and
slept wherever convenient.
When spring came we decided to
locate on a ranch of our own. We
selected what is now the Joseph
Marion place about Is miles north
east of Poison on Irvine Flats. Here,
we lived only a short time. Andy
did not have permit and by the
Indian agent he was ordered to
leave the reservation.
Selling our log buildings to Jo-
seph Houle, we purchased ranch
up on the Lo Lo, about 20 miles
southwest of Missoula.
