The next spring 1888 the "Assini-

years later, in 1853, the Eel Paso''

from F't. Union to a point above the

1859, the chippewa" came within
Is miles of Fl. Benton, then con-
sidered remarkable voyage. The
fur business was tapering off and
the upper Missouri was hazardous
stream to navigate. With boat sched-
ules running about 10 years apart
and somewhat uncertain it was not
conducive to the DEVELOPMENT of
agriculture.
Pay Loads TO Fl. Benton
The following summer both the
chippewa" and key Vest reached
Fl. Benton in July with pay loads.
Steamboating in Montana was on
its way and reaching closer to the
core of her treasure lodes than any
other modes of transportation.
AT this time the Civil War was
'B uff alo Hump" (Grangeville),
Idaho, and it was transported over
the mountains to the head of navi-
CATION at Fit. Benton. Then gold was
discovered in Montana. This was
real gold and did not have to be ex-
changed for anything to make it
legal tender. Some of these Mon
tana gold strikes were phenomenal
$1,000 worth of gold in a pan full of
sand. AS there is little difference in
the quality of real gold, it was guam
tity that Montana had and again
asserted her supremacy. Who would
want to plod behind pair of long
horns, push a breaking pillow and
grow wheat when it was possible to
pan out fortune in day?
With the price of wheat running
around rs cents per bushel in St.
Louis and the freight $4.80 per
bushel, there was little inducement
for the soil tillers even to think OF
going to Montana to farm.
From 1860 to 1875 were the great
bonanza days on the Missouri River
AS the rail heads were reaching the
western part of North Dakota the
steamboat trade began to feel its
effect. Montana was entering the
third important period of it's de-
velopment.

Wheat Acreage
Ruling Revised

UNDER A REVISED ruling an
nounced by USDA wheat producers
who find they may have exceeded
their allotment in planting may
come into compliance with the
wheat marketing quota by blowing
under the excess acreage or other
wise using the wheat before it ma
lures.
The change revises the definition
of wheat acreage" under the pro-
gram. 1t excludes from the defini-
ton, wheat acreage which "does not
reach maturity because it is, while
still green, turned under for green
manure, pastured off, or cut for hay
Or silage." Any wheat - whether
seeded or volunteer - which is al
lowed to mature will still be subject
to compliance with the wheat-allot-
ment provisions. Prior approval of
the permitted practice is not re-
quired, but acreage on which the
practice is carried out must be so
designated at the County Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Conserva-
ton Committee office.

1927 Bowling Challenge Led
To Annual Campbell Tourney

They were Clarke's rivals in a
daily lunch-hour session at q
downtown bowling plant.
Somebody facetiously asked
Clarke about his chances of
winning.
With a straight face he de-
clared he WOULD win.
It was the first intimation Of
a characteristic that distin-
guished Clarke throughout a
fabulous career. He was always
confident.
Paul Moore will be the de-
Tending champion Sunday. The
odds are heavily against his
joining Clarke as the only
bowler to win the Campbell two
years staight.
"I'd have to be mighty lucky" !"
he says, no doubt recalling an
incident in the final game last
year. Moore ran into splits in
the 18th string and it appeared
Archie Ferguson would be the
winner.
Half through the game, Moore
cut out the headpin and No. S
with a first ball. His second. a
desperation spare try, swept the
sticks from the right side of the
alley and a f1yback felled the
others. From there he sailed
to victory.

When a field of crack bowlers
lines up Sunday for the 29th
annual Howard Campbell Classic,
few among them will realize
they're participants in the
granddaddy of all such duckpin
tournaments, here and elsewhere.
The 15-game event, with a top
prize of $500, will be rolled in
five-game blocks on the Arling-
ton, Clarendon and Colonial VIII
lage lanes, marking the first time
the tournament has been held in
Virginia. At Arlington, squads
will fire at 1870 and $3.50 pm: at
Clarendon. 4 and 6. and Colonial
Village, 7::30 and $50.
The Campbell was born in 1927
as the result of a challenge.
Howard Campbell, now listed
with the all-time stars Of Dis
trict bowling, was told: There
aren't a dozen bowlers in town
who'd back themselves with $25
in a winner-take-all sweep
stakes"
Match-game bowling was the
order of the times. Star was
pitted against star, with the
stakes high at times, but with
the principals sharing their
wagers. Rarely did a bowler put
up the full sum of his backing.
Rounded Up 28 Bowlers.
Campbell rounded up not a
dozen, but 28 bowlers who put
$25 ION the line."' He doesn't
know to this day how many of
the % shelled the full amount
from their own pockets.
The tournament was a spon-
taneous success, bowling fans
jammed the big plants where
the event was rolled. Before long,
similar tournaments were being
held throughout the duckpin
world.
The Campbell has produced
many exciting moments but the
first one still stands out in
memory.
Big Glenn Wolstenholme was
the king of match-game duck
pinners. A colorful. but modest
individual, Wolstenholme was
urged to guess the winner Of the
tournament.
1.-THE way I figure" he said,
"I'll lay about eighth after the
first block. tEIe hit it exactlyD
After the second block I'll be
about fifth. Gle was fourth.}
Then I'll charge in" Gle did,
| At a critical stage in the final
game. when hard pressed by
Glenn Weidman, Wolstenholme
slammed home two successive
strikes, and that settled it.
Ten years later, Astor Clarke,
destined to become probably the
greatest duckpin bowler in his
tory. won the tournament to
earn fame overnight.
Known Only to a Few.
When Clarke's name appeared
in the entry list, a common
question was: who's hep"
Only a few bowlers knew him.

Some interesting changes in
wild waterfowl regulations for
the coming season have been eff
fected. Rails, other than sora.
in the Atlantic Flyway States
have been lightly harvested. The
season was therefore heightened
to 10 days and the possession
limit increased from Is to 80.
While in the Mississippi Flyway
States there has been a marked
decrease in the number Of wood
ducks. in the Atlantic Flyway
States the opposite is true.
Therefore two wood ducks are
now allowed in possession in
stead of one. It gives fly tiers
a chance to build up their
feather supply. Wood ducks
were illegal game a few years
ago and their breast and other
feathers. much in demand by
fly tiers. were known as "Egyp-
tian Pheasant" feathers.
Although many early season
duck hunters journey into New
Jersey and other waters off the
coast of the New England States.
for some reason the greater
scaup, (big bluebills) a number
of which winter in these waters.
have not been killed in recent
years. Therefore in tidewaters
of these States, four additional
scaup are included in the daily
bag limit and eight in the pos
session limit. However. to pre-
vent the wasteful killing of
mergansers generally. both the
American and red breasted
species are now included in daily
bag and possession limits. The
