Glacier Park Pioneer Dies

Lawrence o. Vaught, 80, a man
who spent so summer vacations in
Glacier and helped see the 1,OOO,-
600 acres established as national
park died in Jacksonville, Ill. Jan.
81.
The Jacksonville Journal tells
of his passing with "Mr. Vaught
was well known in this commune
ty where he had devoted a long
life to widely varied and useful
service"
HE was born Nov. %, 1865, in
Somerset, Kentucky, son of Rev.
Granville Vaught and Maria Grass.
His father, a Methodist minister,
served in various Indiana COM
munities, where Mr.. Vaught spent
his boyhood. He was a graduate in
liberal arts of DePauw university
and later of its law school. Six
years intervening was spent in
work with the deaf, as supervisor
at the Illinois school, at Gallaudet
in Washington where he trained
for teaching the deaf, and later as
superintendent of the teaching of
the deaf in the Chicago public
schools.
''In 1895 after receiving his law
degree, he began practice in
Jacksonville in the office of Judge
o. P. Thompson -
In 1929 there was partnership
formed with his nephew, Orville
Foreman.
The Jacksonville paper also tells
of Mr.. Vaught's helping establish
the Carnegie library in the COM
munity, work with the YMCA
Presbyterian church, Literary IN
ion, and holding national office
with the Knights of Pythias.
Mrs. Vaught, whom he married
in 1895 preceded him in death in
1888. Survivors included sister
Ruth Vaught, DeLand, Florida
and Mrs. Orville Foreman and Ed
ward w. Cleary, among nieces anc
nepheWS.
The Jacksonville newspaper alsC
remarks: "His chief out-of door:
interest was in the region of Ola
cier National Park, in Montana.
1t is small part of the story il
the Illinois account.

The VoUght Story

In 1858 we had a chat with MIR.
Vaught, when he was So, and here
is story of the Montana phase
of his life:
1t was in 1888 that Mr.. Vaught
climbed mountain at the head of
Lake Mcdonald and named it emit.
Helen" after his wife. The United
States Geological survey had a Mt.
Helen in the Dawson pass country
at the head of Two Medicine lake.
and changed the name to Mt.
Vaught. Mrs. Vaught passed away
in 1888. The old gentleman en-
phatically insisted that the noun
tain was named after Mrs. Vaught.
This group of mountains in
cludes Stanton, Vaught, MOZART
land and then Heavens peak.
MIR. Vaught had just left the
Flathead after spending part of the
summer on the North Fork at
the SaWtooth ranch near the Dor
der with his nephew and niece,
Mr.. and Mrs. o. N. Foreman, also
of Jacksonville, Ill.
He told of how Mt. Brown was
named. 1t was in 1894 when Will
liam Brown, Jacksonville, general
solicitor for the Alton Railroad
came out by special railroad car
to Bolton, and camped at the site
of Lake Mcdonald with his party.
The group climbed what was to
become Mt. Brown hunting for
goat. Attorney Brown wanted a
mountain named after him. He got
one.
1t was Mr.. Brown who told Mr..
Vaught back in the 1905 of "This
Lake Mcdonald country of Mon
tana." Glacier didn't become ma
tional park until 1910.
Mt. Stanton was named after
Mrs. Lottie Stanton, related Mr..
Vaught. She was the wife of a liv-
cry stable operator in Kalispell,
and was among the first, if not
the first to climb the mountain.
Valued manuscript to Montana
history is Mr.. Vaught's recollect-
tons of Glacier. He had worked
on the manuscript for a number Of
years. He knew such men as DR.
Sperry who found the ice mass
now known as Sperry glacier, lar
gest in the park.
The Vaught association with
this section of Montana included
a number of years when the ther
young Illinois lawyer brought GU
groups of people. They usually
came out in a private railroad car
and the sizeable parties set up a
Sprague creek, site of the presen
campground.

continued to be used on Lake Nc.

best as a trail park.

CAM Bar Vehicles
With Smooth Tires

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp today declared that to
turn down vehicles in inspections
because Of lack Of tread on tires
would have an impossible eco
nomic effect on District resi-
dents.
Mr.. Keneipp's statement came
after Municipal Court Judge
Andrew j. Howard. jr.. yesterday
acquitted the Capital Transit
Co. of a charge of operating an
unsafe bus which had no tread
on its tires.
Mr.. Keneipp declared that I'VE
can't turn down vehicles just be-
cause the tires have no tread.
That would be q huge economic
factor that would affect you and
me and thousands of others here.
We have followed our present
policy for the past II years"
Mr.. Keneipp, however, declared
his Office would check with the
National Safety Council and the
Bureau of Standards to see
whether or not any conclusive
tests have been made which
would determine whether or not
tread on tires is a large safety
factor.
1t was brought out in court
yesterday that the bus was using
14-ply tires and that only one
ply had been worn through. A
traffic division expert testified
that inspection stations pass
busses when the tires are worn
through even more. Yesterdays
case came about after a Capital
Transit bus collided with taxi
cab earlier this month and the
bus driver said that the acci-
dent was the result of a lack of
tread on the bus tires.
