management, and it became
one of the best schools in the
county.
But after a time surrounding
schools were graded with reg
ular courses of study and the
students graduated from them
could enter college and in the
onward march of progress the
little go-as-you-please school on
Seminary Hill was left behind.
The attendance fell off and
dissatisfaction was felt. Again
the matter was talked over and
it was decided that a good
township high school was what
was needed at this time.
The building was falling to
decay and money was raSied
for temporary repairs un tt /
matters could be more defin-
itely settled.
TEN YEARS before this the
two school rooms on the lower
floor had been found too small
for the school as the number
of scholars in the lower grades
had rapidly increased. So the
second and third flo ors had
been thrown together for a
large school room and the low
er grades were established in
the old chapel.
Prof. Gibson of Mantua was
hired as principal in 1904 and
taught one year, after W h C h
Prof. Arthur Fowler of Burton
was hired.
In the summer of 1906 the
entire building was remodeled
but the design of the original
building was kept as far as
possible.
The school is now a second
grade high school, with a four
year course of study. The first
annual commencement W a S
held May 20 with four young
lady graduates.
In it's present form the build
ing is nicely planned and light
ed and nicely equipped in ev-
cry way that a good school
should be, and should shelter
yet another two generations of
seekers of knowledge.
MORE THAN the usual affec-
ton is felt for the old school
by the men and women of the
present time on account of the
many famous men and women
who were at one time students
here.

SEMINARY
Continued from Page u

Daniel Branch and wife Of
Oberlin took charge of t h e
school after it was opened in
the new building and he taught
until the fall of 1849. When the
Seminary was built it was in
tended as dormitory an d
chapel and other buildings were
to be added later as the school
grew and prospered.
Streets were laid out around
a central campus and lots were
sold and some houses b u t..
Some of tn e buildings are
still standing with no streets be-
fore them and can only be re-
ached by driving across the
campus.
The grounds were laid out
nicely, curved avenues of To-
Gusts led from the public high
way on either side to the door
of the building. M any other
trees and shrubs were planted
and a broad walk from tn e
front steps to the street was
bordered on either side with Or
namental trees.
AS TIME went on interest
in the school waned. The coun-
try was then comparatively
new; times were hard and
Chester people did not
to invent more money in it and
no more building was eve r
done.
The building had three stor-
les and a basement and was
in design and finish solid and
handsome. The upper floor had
II rooms and a large hall and
was for the young men board
ers who did their own cooking
The stoves in each room, small
square wood burners, will be
remembered by all the older
students.
The second floor like the
third had also II rooms and
hall and here the girls roomed

ems and confiscated fruit were
dropped by a rope from t h
third floor windows and taken
in on the second floor.
On the main floor was one
large room used as a chapel
and as a study room for the
day students. There were also
several small rooms for reci-
tation rooms, and later the lar
ger one of these on the north
side of the hall was used as
a school room for the scholars
of the lower grades.
In the basement were COM
Portable quarters for the prin-
cipal's family and a two story
addition on the back had more
rooms for students. One stair
way led from the third floor
down to the front hall, but from
the second floor there was also
back stairway leading to a
door just back of the teachers
desk in the Chapel.
The boarding scholars d i d
their studying in their rooms
and if work and play were Of
ten sadly mixed they were on
ly like all student youth.
IN THE MAIN the school
was an excellent one. The prin-
cipals were earnest conscien-
tious men who did their work
faithfully and well and many
a pupil with a noble purpose
was given here the help h e
most needed.
How some of them succeeded
all the world has heard, for

JAMES A. GARFIELD, the
son of a poor widow in Orange,
came to attend the school in
the fall of 1849. He worked for
his board in the family of S.
H. Philbrick. He cut wood, built
some fences and did all sorts
of odd jobs.

AFTER HAYWOOD left the
school it was closed for a time
as it had not been paying at all
we'll and interest seemed to
have died out.
The stockholders and t n
ship trustees finally agreed that
it should be made a special dis
trict with a separate school for
the lower grades and high
school for the tuition scholars
as cared to come, with tuition
at $6 per term. Also, by the
terms of this agreement there
should be at all times nine
months school and a teacher
who was competent to prepare
scholars for college. Otherwise
it was again to revent to the
control of the stockholders.

GLACIER COUNTY PEOPLE
ATTEND T|BER DAM MEET

George Johnston, Glacier Wild
Life Association; Leo Higgins,
w. A. Day of Cut Bank, and Dick
d. Laerner, Northern Continent
al Committee of East Glacier
were among the over 80 persons
in attendance at the Monday eve
ming meeting of the Chester
Commercial club and the Chest
er Rod and Gun Club at Tlber
Dam, where officials of the U. S.
Bureau of Reclamation, and the
Fish and Game Department of
the State of Montana met and
explained their plans for devel-
opment of the area. MIR. Walter
Allen of the Fish and Game De-
partment, who heads the State
Fisheries spoke of the develop
ment of the area as far as re-
Mobilization of fish was concern
ed. He stated that three years
ago plans were underway to try
to kill the rough fish of the
lower Marias above the dam and
restock the reservoir with trout.
He cited the Fort Peck area as
an example of what might hap
pen by the natural processes OF
nature in the lake Perch which
at first found good conditions
for spawning and growing in the
lake bed of the Fort Peck res
ervoir later when thte floor COW
ering of the brush and bushes
were gone died out and now
again the Goldeye and Carp
have taken over a large share of
the area, with Belt Creek and
other creeks now showing signs
of infestation of the rough fish.
In the past two years the work
of Upper Marias has been a mat
ter of constant study by the en-
pertS of the fisheries depart
ment to determine the best APP
proach to rehabilitation of the
area. With ninety per cent of
the Upper Marias creek infested
with rough fish the department
has large job on their hands,
and economically they are in a
difficult position because of lack
of funds Allen emphasized. Since

speakers which included Allen

Mr.. Walter Sanford, project en-
gineer, spoke on the develop
ment of the dam and the clear
ing Of the reservoir which he
stated will be as the people have
wished through their expression

would be five feet below the
low water level line of the res
ervoir.
Mr.. o. A. Dolven, of theU. S.
Bureau of Reclamation, who is
in charge of development of the
Bureau project as far as rec
reation is concerned spoke to
the group on plans for the area
which included three sites for
parks, which would be develop
ed by the State Park Depart
ment under the direction of Ash
ley Roberts. The agreement
would be made between the Bur-
eau and the Park Commission
as soon as POSSIBLE on all of
their area developments, but ten

closed, for lack of funds, July l.
The CAA, with the Budget Bur-
eau peering over its shoulder,
had not asked for continued op-
Grafton of some of its stations,
although CAA acknowledged
their usefulness. After the Mon
tana legislators told their col
leagues of the hazards involved
in flying over mountainous Mon
tana without these navigational
aids specific language was writ
ten into a bill, now passed by
both houses, providing for con-
tinued operation of the Montana

Mosquito Money

When Congress okayed more
funds than requested for the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare, and specifically ear
marked big chunk of it for fin
ishing the fight against polio,
Montana Democrats had a bunch
the Public Health Service might
be able to put more money into
control of other communicable
diseases, like encephalitis borne
by some Montana mosquitoes. The
bunch was right.
After conversations and CORE
Spondence with PHS officials
the Montanans were informed
last week that an additional $1O,-
600 will be allocated by PHS to
the Milk River mosquito control
program during the fiscal year
just begun. That makes a total
federal appropriation of SIS, 900,
which is but half the annual
amount needed according to DR..
J. H. Pepper, state entomologist,
and other experts who have been
working on the problem.
Flathesd Flying
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration last Thursday denied
the request of Northwest Air
lines to suspend service at Kali
ispell. The CAA found that "The
economy of the Flathead) area
has expanded since the point
was certificated continued
expansion may be expected -,
and isolation is such that the
nearest substitute service would
require surface travel of 125
miles" The CAA also declared
that the company's improbable
operation at Kalispell was not
sufficient reason for suspension,
in view of 1.-THE overall profit
position of the carrier" and that
If operating difficulties are ov-
ercome, a further increase in
the use of air service will re-
suit"
One of the men who can take
a bow now is Kalispell attorney
James Murphy, who argued be-
fore the CAA in Washington last
spring. He was staunchly sup
ported by Senators James E..
Murray and Mike Mansfield and
Rep. Lee Metcalf. The Montan-
ans also did some fast footwork
around the Capitol on another

in this area are Cut Bank Creek,
Two Medicine River, and the
Lower Marias he felt that the
effort expended on work In the
Tiber Reservoir was money well
spent, and stated that the de-
partment has fully approved the
poisoning of the rough fish in
the stream at the time Of the
closure of the Tiber Dam. He
stated the difficulties the depart
ment still faces is the danger in
volved in the handling of the
toxicant which was difficult to
get due to this factor. Allen not
ed that it was not harmful to
humans or other animals after
the toxicant had been applied,
but during the process of appli-
cation the concentrated chem
ical can cause paralysis to those
who are handling it. Every safe.
ty measure possible will be used
in handling the toxicant.
Aliens chief concern was that
Montana farmers and land own
ers should protect the natural
habitat of wildlife, and especial
ly to maintain the streams and
creeks we now have in their nat
ural state and that the channels
not be changed by road, canals,
irrigation dams, and other things.
He stated that the natural mean
dering of the stream makes a
good trout protective area and
when it is Strengthened out the
fish cannot find suitable spawn
ing areas and thus die out.
Nels Thorsen, district fisher
les biologist, was the next speak
er for the fish and game depart
ment and he highly compliment.
ed the work of Mr.. Allen, and
explained that a lot of poisoning
of fish had been done in lakes
in the Middle West and Rocky
Mountain areas, but only on two
flowing streams had such pro-
ject been undertaken, and he
had been assisting with the work
in the two; the James River In
North Dakota and Otter Creek
in Montana. He stated that due
to flow of water and the force
of the water a highly residual
toXicant had to be used and
therefore the regular toxicant
used in poisoning lakes would
not work and therefore a more
potent one called Toxiphene
was used. This will usually stay
toxant for eighteen 18) months
to three (3 years, and with the
water flowing it is more effec-
tive for killing out the Goldeye
and the Carp. Thorsen stated
that he felt the objective in the
case of the Marias effort was
to make as complete a kill as
possible of all the rough fish
and then to heavily plant the
area with trout. Five million
trout will be used in the five year
effort of restocking the Marias
River. He stated that this pro-
gram of heavy restocking had
been carried on by Mr.. Allen
in the work at Canyon Ferry and
it had proven very successful.

The Yellowtail dam project
strobe forward in congress last
week, Milk River mosquitoes ran
for cover, and Montana aviation
had a couple of close calls. Here
is what happened.
The Senate Appropriations
committee voted to spend four
million dollars to initiate imme-
diate construction of Yellowtail
Dam. This is the first time that
a congressional committee has
asked for construction funds for
Yellowtail, which has been auth
orized for more than 10 years.
The House didn't vote any funds
for Yellowtail. So if the Yellow.
tail item stays in the bill when
the Senate acts on it (probably
before this column sees print
the next hurdle will be getting
House conferees to agree to the
appropriation.
