EARLY DAY MAIL SERVICE

EARLY DAY a SERVICE
by Gene and Willard Bulerdick. 81. Ignatius Post.
A preserved letter from Major George Mcclellan to Angus Nc
Donald, factor at Fort Connah, in the lower Flathead valley, reveals
that one early day mail route to that fort and to the mission at st.
Tgnatius was by way of the Columbia river via Fort Vancouver, near
the present city of Portland, Oregon.
The letter written in Philadelphia, March Is, 1855, was in reply to
one sent by Mcdonald. Mcclellan wrote in part. "Your kind and
welcome letter of September last reached me but a short time since.
1t left Vancouver late in October, took some time to reach this part
of the world"
That mail was slow and uncertain is revealed in the next sentence
of the letter: "Tn write anyhow and can scarcely guess when you
will receive this"
Mcclellan, later of Civil War fame, became acquainted with Nc
Donald when the major came to this section of Montana with the
military expedition that charted the Mullen road.

The organ 6xer was there with apologies for noG

there with his guitar and a melody he had
written for Mohr's carol. They were young men, the
priest and the musician 20 and 81 respectively.
Neither had written a song before and, so far as is
known, neither wrote another.
Cruber called Mohr to his side. He plunked the

Savings Bonds Given
As Christmas Bonuses

Many local firms will pre-
sent Christmas bonuses to
employees this year in the
form of United States Saw
ings Bonds, according to Hen
ry ]. Nichols, State Advisory
Chairman.
1T is an ever-growing prac-
tice among employers in this
state to present Savings
Bonds as Christmas gifts" he
declared. "The 1855 Christmas
season promises to set a new
record in this respect"
Mr.. Nichols said officials of
a number of firms had al
ready advised him of their
plans to issue Series E Saw
ings Bonds to employees, in
lieu of year-end cash bonuses.
He expressed the view that
this would become a widely
accepted practice within the
next few years.
There are definite &dvan-
tageS to the Christmas bonus
bond" the chairman said. "In
the first place, the bonus will
increase by one-third if held
for nine years and eight
months. So there is an in
centive to add the bonus to
the family savings, rather
than to spend it immedi-
ately."
Mr. Nichols urged all en-
ployeeS who receive Savings
Bonds as a Christmas bonus
to save thm for a definite
purpose, or to meet unforeseen
emergencies. At the same
time, he invited employers to
contact him or the state
Savings Bond office for more
information about any phase
of the Savings Bond pro-
gram.

an announcement by one of

as possible, mixed groups of

The plan for utilizing AM

the Boston Guardian last Aug
uSt following deep concern
OF Russian music critics in
cluding the editors of Soviet
Culture. At that time a
Guardian column open-letter

House. Later the same ar
ticle was studied by editors
Of the worldwide Readers
Digest. While not claiming
full credit for the State De-

ian did help FORMULATE and
promote the plan.
The State Departments ac-
ceptance of the proposal to
send Dizzie Gillespie, Count
Basic and Louis Armstrong to
the East and Africa is part
of a five million international
cultural exchange program.
No longer will just the long
haired artists be sent to all

this new rotating jazz crew
will do their share. Emphasis

youth in a jazz revolution
which could possibly bring
democracy to the Russian peo-
pie. AS Russian statesmen

, might be wise for the State
Department to arrange for
American jazz bands to tour
Russia. We offer this idea
to the President for his most
serious consideration.
CAB GALLOWAY could have
effected more democratic good
with a hot band in Russia
than he did with that thea
rical tour In Allied Europe.
Indeed, the Hi-De-Ho Pied
Piper might topple the Soviet
jazz barrier overnight. And
I am convinced the late Fats
Waller could have aided such
a cause. Louis Armstrong
could still make the Russians
dance in the streets. And Lii
onel Hampton could make
them dance from Memel to
Nizhne Kolynsk.
DUKE ELLINGTON, in spite
of his current American COM
position fame, could still find
fertile fields of composition in
