equinox to the winter solstice.
The sum of these changes is Al
degrees per year.
Angles And Distances
The angle of the suns rays at
high noon on 81 December in any
given place in the Northern hemi-
sphere will be the latitude of that
place plus 2312 degrees. For in
stance, the east-west boundary
lines between Alabama and Flor
ida and between Mississippi and
Louisiana are the 31st parallel.
Thus the sun would be 541s de-
grees from Zenith or 3512 degrees
above the southern horizon.
At the summer solstice when
the sun would be only 712 degrees
from directly overhead at this
parallel, the heat is rather in
tense. This is to be considered in
view of the fact that the sun is
approximately 94,500,000 miles
away during the hot part of the
summer and only 81, 100000 miles
away in Winter. Evidently it is
not the distance that makes the
difference in temperature in sum-
mer and winter but the angle of
the suns rays.
The winter and summer SOL
stices do not coincide with peri
helion and aphelion. Perihelion is
the point in the earth's orbit at
which it is nearest the sun. We
usually reach this point on Jan
uary while we reach the winter
solstice on or about 81 December
each year. On the opposite side of

of the earth at the greater dis
lance has little effect on weather.
The celestial mechanics which
cause our winter, produce pro-
found effect on living things that
inhabit the earth. This is done,
of course, by the reduction in the
amount of energy available from
the stunt for the activities of life.
Life activities are governed by the
amount of available energy they
can use. The most vital energy is
heat, since there is enough light
in any season to produce adequate
growth of plants and for most
animals.

Annie Kincaid, with their two small
children, pioneered from Kansas to
northeastern Montana to build them
selves "a Home on the Range" They
were among those family type ranchers
who came to this remote and lawlesS
''last stand free range country to build
homes and herds-then stayed on to
stabilize the cattle industry-replacing
the cattle grazing ''tycoons" who lost
their shirts in the bonanza BUST
epitomized by Artist Charles Russell in
his Last of Five Thousand" picture
message to his boss describing the con-
dition of the herd after that oldtimers'
worst winter-1886-87.
BY the year of 1906 their Lazy F Lazy
r spread was doing all right. The Kin
caids, with their, by then, three child
ren-Rita, age 6; John, S; and Minnie,
3-were comfortably established in their
well furnished, roomy log cabin. They
had also built clubhouse and a chick
enhouse This domestic was located in
the southwest corner of Valley County
where the Missouri River zigzags into
a natural boundary line. Uncle Frank
was top cowhand and good provider.
He would remind you a lot of Will
Rogers.
Queen in Calico
Aunt Annie, my mothers youngest
sister, was tall, graceful young wO-
man, with knack for getting style in
a queen in calico, and her log cabin
was her castle.
Aside from their wedding gifts, her
most cherished household possessions
were Singer sewing machine and
supply of Mason jars-woman's CO.
veted convenience of the day.
She looked we'll to the ways of her
household. BY fall the jars were filled
from the hills. Cold-pack canning meth
cd was unknown then, but they had
stored plentiful supply of root vegeta-
bles in the cellar and stocked the pantry
Dan, rancher's supply boat that made
yearly trip down the river from Fort
Benton
Shipped to Chicago
In October, Uncle Frank and cow
boy gathered the market steers from
the upper Timber Creek range (present
site of Etchart winter cow camp and
trailed them IS miles north and east ia
Glasgow. From there, they shipped out
to Chicago. This operation required
about a month.
Aunt Annie busted herself making the
family's winter clothes. One evening
as she was folding away eight pairs Of
pants she had finished for John, two
men rode up. One was a stranger. The
other, a Hungarian immigrant, was
an early settler called The Hun. She
didn't trust him because he resented
newcomers and had threatened to ''rur
the Kincaids' out. But, true to western
tradition, she asked them in to supper
While eating. they kept glancing arounC
the house. She was relieved when they
rode off up through the pines toward.
The Hun place.
Then, with Rita and John she started
out after the two milk cows, leaving
Minnie asleep. But feeling uneasy, ShC

returned and carried the child along.
They found the cows half-a-mile away
over a hill.
Save the Pants
They were turning them homeward
when Rita said, MAMA, lOok-smoke!"
A huge pillar of smoke was rising over
the home location. They raced to the top
of the hill. The cabin was in flames. In
relating the story Aunt Annie said she
thought first of saving the eight pairs of
pants. Around the yard, the heat was
intense, the cabin glowed like huge
live coal. Thought of saving anything
was useless. A home on the range was
no more.
The desolate little group trailed off
to the clubhouse. When they opened
the door, smoke poured out. A. pile of
magazines was smoldering against
rag-bag in the corner. Aunt Annie was
then Glued to the back-tracking &C.
tivities of her recent supper guests.
The children slept, that night, covered
with gunnysackS, on the bare mattress
of the clubhouse bed. Their mother
didn't sleep. She watched the fire and
planned their survival for many lively
tomorrows. At dawn she was out and
found slopbucket, scrubbed it with
sand in the river-milked the cows
then fed the children Afterwards, she
explored the rag-bag. Rolled up in a
partially finished braided rug was treas
ure indeed, thread, needles and scissors
Always wise to the possibilities of a
garment she managed to make them all
a change Of clothes from the contents
of the rag-bag.
Baked Potatoes
When the enbers cooled, they dug
smoked potatoes from the cellar and
ate them with boiled eggs. The canned
goods they found almost intact, SIM
mered down and delicious. Altogether,
they existed in this primitive fashion
for two weeks.
One morning a rider came along
from the Content country. His name
was Charley ConaSter, later a promi-
nent rancher in the Tampico region. He
saw their predicament and galloped off
toward Glasgow. Four days later he
returned with wagon load of the nee
essary provisions. In the Old West you
didn't insult cowboy by offering pay
ment for kindness.
When Uncle Frank came home after
dark one night, he nearly spurred his
shying bronc into the cellar.
Then they went into the cruel winter
of 19O6-O7, the worst in 20 years. The
snow lay on all winter. In March came
the billiards. The wolves and coyotes
moved in bands to feast on the deaC
and dying cattle. The ranchers' losses
were terrific.
The Kincaids rebuilt their home anC
finally the Lazy F Lazy R spread came
back. There were eight children of this
marriage-all true sons and daughter:
of the West. Their parents are buried
in the Glasgow cemetery.
By 1884 the valley was well settled
and the worlds biggest earth dan
was under construction down the Mis-
souri,. Now these settlers are scattered
like Longfellow's AcadianS-their cabins
were all burned by government order
And the once green valley lies unde
the big waters of the Fort Peck Lake
