his once prominent frontier outpost.
By the 1905 there were over 100
people living at Dearborn Crossing, and
it looked as if the settlement had be-
come permanent one. The center of
activity was the saloon at the Dearborn
House where freight drivers, stage driv-
ers, lumbermen, settlers and transients
would gather to discuss the Indian sit
uation, when and where the railroad
was coming through, when Fort Shaw
might be discontinued and news and
gossip concerning every settler within
20 miles.
PeriIs With Progress
The buffalo herds were dwindling
fast, and it was no longer necessary to
brandish bayonets to divide them.
Squatters were moving in and some
ranchers were starting TO build fences.
Land and livestock empires were being
built But still there was an undertone
of peril to frontier life, like the time
Billy More and his wife were found
dead, and the danger of massacres from
Indians attempting to join up with Chief
Joseph. There were feuds over cattle
and land ownership.
By the fall of 1886 there were a mil

set in early that year. AS far as you
could see there was one snow drift on
top of another. Foraging was impossi-
BILE Cattle were driven by the wind
until they were stopped by a fence,
where they died. Losses throughout the
state that winter were estimated at
close to 80 per cent. This was bad
for Dearborn Crossing, where most of
the business was transacted with cattle
money.
Ghost Town
The railroad had by-passed the town,
and the stage station was moved to
Flat Creek, a few miles to the south
east. The general feeling began to be-

age of Montana is a stretch between
Wolf Creek and Augusta in Lewis and
Clark county commonly referred to as
the Dearborn country. Through its lap
swings Dearborn River, named by
Lewis and Clark in 1905 for Secretary of
War Dearborn.
To our children this country suggests
far-Spittin', hard riding cowboys, arrow
heads and caves to explore. To fisher
men, it suggests rainbow trout that
stand up and dance; to hunters, venison
and elk steaks; to stockmen, some of
the finest range in the northwest; to
business men, the swift progression
of recent frontier.
The earliest settlement here was the
stage station of Dearborn Crossing. The
Mullen Trail from Fort Benton to Walla
Walla, Wash, angled through here Paul
Vermet, French trapper and trader,
settled about six miles from where the
Dearborn empties into the Missouri
He built stage station as a stop be-
tween Helena and Fort Benton, where
he offered comfortable lodging amidst
the wild beauty of bluffs, chokecherries,
pines and buffalo grass. One of his
distinguished guests was Thomas Fran
els Meagher, Irish rebel and later gov
ernor of Montana territory.
Restless Men
There was Just too much to see and
do for a man to sit still very long,
and Vermet either sold or traded the
place to another Frenchman, Teabeau,
in 1866.
Teabeau had hardly settled down to
enjoy the view when an old trapping
pal came along and convinced him that
settling down was for pansies. He and
his friend were killed along the river
by Piegans in 1866. There are two OBJ
long piles Of rock a short distance from
the bank, which are probably where
they were hurriedly laid under.
Evan Thomas, small wiry bundle
of energy and courage, had come ii
from the Lincoln country to Dearborn
Crossing. He took over Teabeau's sta
ton and built a hotel and saloon o.
stone. Window space was kept at {
minimum to offer smaller target Il
Indians arrows and ''trade bullets.
Thomas also built toll bridge in th'
summer of 81, as many stages had beer
hung up in the high waters of the Dear
born that spring.
Gillette and King had completed tn
Prickly Pear road in 1856 and, as tn
road passed near the Dearborn,
brought more miners, settlers an
transients into Dearborn Crossing.

States discussed a three member
committee survey and proposed
pronouncement for several hours
yesterday. Some said numerous
revisions were made, mainly in
language rather than basic view
point. The sta ment was
whipped into a shape satisfac-
tory to Senators who differed
among themselves on how far to
chart course.
The IA Senators-all Demo-
crats-at the morning and late
afternoon meetings in the Office
of Senator George of Georgia,
represented Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas and Texas. Several other
Southern Senators sent word
that prior engagements pre-
vented attendance.
Text Remains Secret
The text and range of the
intended statement remained an
official secret. Senator Russell of
Georgia. chairman of the report
committee chosen at similar
gathering February Z in Senator
Georges Office. remarked that
1--WE might call it a manifesto.
Then he added: But I'll have to
look that word up in the diction-
ary."
From all accounts after yes
terday's discussion the statement
will not attempt to tell indi-
vidual States specifically what
they ought to do to counterfeit
the Supreme Courts ban on
racial segregation in public
schools.
The Russell committee, of
which Senators Stennis of Mis-
sissippi and Erwin of North Caro-
lima also are members, reported
on moves made by several State
legislatures or governors. 1t was
understood also to have listed
other steps which Congress or
the States conceivably could take
in challenging the Supreme
Courts ruling.
Senators said after the meet
ing that much of the time was
spent in going over the entire
ground" before determining the
exact wording and extent of the
statement.

statement will not urge or per-
haps even mention, "interposi-

individual States have constitu-
tional power to reject Supreme
Courts decision and refuse to

enforce it. There seemed little
sentiment for introducing an
"interposition'' resolution in
Congress, if only because of the
danger of long and bitter debate
in both branches.
1t was learned that a Senate
resolution introduced last Janu-
airy by Senator Robertson of
Virginia, will not be pushed by
the Southern Senators as a
group. This resolution would
put Congress on record as de-
claring that a State could meet
requirements of the Fourteenth
Amendment either by desegre-
eating public schools or by pro-
viding separate but equal, school
facilities for the different races
