citizens protests.

Mr.. Fitton recalls Mr.. Par

apartments, implying that he
might also vote for the apart

Mr.. Parrish vehemently says
he will oppose the apartment

Mr.. Parrish proposed today
that the county acquire the
land for q park. He asked the
supervisors to instruct the

Mr.. Parrish also said that he

An attempt to reconcile the

always supported an elected

Sees Chance Of Unity
MFR. Vance later said there's
a chance" that the two groups
might get together at a later
date. He invited Home Rule
committee leaders to attend q
Project Marlboro committee
meeting November S at Adelphi
Mill.
The Project Marlboro Com.
mite was formed more than q
year ago to carry out the rec
concentrations Of the Project
Marlboro report, which was
largely written by Mr.. Vance
and Mr.. Avrutis.
The charter question was
petitioned to a referendum and
voters last November defeated
it by 3ll votes. Shortly before
the vote. Mr.. Vance and Mr..
Arvutis broke away from the
original Project Marlboro
group.
Las May, the Home Rule

In June 1t voted not to take a
stand on any particular form
of charter at that time. Early
this month Mr.. Vance and Mr..

again to carry out the objec-

Vance was critical Of the other

and the Project Marlboro
theme.

Of them are either in office
or have recently sought elected

that its constitution provides
for Endorsement of political

From a careful reading Of
the ruling of the Civil Service

convinced that this will pre-
clude the active participation

Rats Anesthetized
Incidentally, as far as
that disastrous bill in Con-

Ramey, "the rats are anes-
thetized and feel no pain.
"AlSp, they must be saved
from as much trauma as pos

Subjecting q rat to prolonged

ables in the data would be so
high that we would not be
able to accurately determine
the effects Of fasting per Sc.
However" she continues,
"the prime reason, In all
these cases, is strictly hui
manitarian."
Several examples Of natu-
raj bodily processes working
against us were explained by
DR.. Ramey: One, under GER
tain situations Of stress the
nervous system releases cleo
trio charges. and by finding
an agent to block this dis
charge, bodily harm can be
averted. This has been
proven with the rats.
Also, the discharge from

There are several special

Though 100 out Of 400 APP

other bases for selection had

Open Range Cattle and Sheep, Fattening On
Nutritious, Free, Prairie Grasses, Brought
Eastern Montana Into the Economic Picture

Although it was gold which usually lured
them, some of Montana's most prosperous
men found their fortunes in the food which
fed those who PANIED the western gulches
Indeed, agriculture had become important
to Montana long before the gold strikes,
and long after the last wooden gold-wash-
ing cradle had fallen into some gulch, this
remained Montana's particular bonanza. 1t
still is.
Charles Larpenteur of the American Fur
Company had driven four cows and two
bulls up from the Green River rendezvous
in 1888, and by the 1840s, there were a
number of cattle on the Upper Missouri.
The Jesuit missionaries, who also brought
seeds, grinding stones and other agricul-
tural equipment, had nearly so head of
cattle at ST. Marys Mission by 1916. When
John Owen took over the mission he rebuilt
the saw and grist mills, fenced some land
for crops, and built up the mission herd.
In the 1865, Captain Richard Grant be-
gan feeding WORKOUT emigrant cattle IN
the Beaverhead and Ruby Valleys and soon
Robert Dempsey and others were doing the
same thing as far north as the Deer Lodge
Valley. 1t was in the fall of 1864 that Will
liam c. Orr of the firm of Poindexter and
Orr, drove herd of California cattle into
the Beaverhead Valley to begin that firms
cattle activities in Montana.
In 1885, Conrad Kohrs, who had been
working in and operating butcher shops in
Bannack and Virginia City, bought the
Grant ranch near Deer Lodge and built its
6OO-head herd into Montana's largest indi-
vidual cattle holding.
And it was also in 1866 that Nelson Story
drove 900 head of Texas longhorrs into
Montana, and for the first time the vast
acres of lush grasses In eastern and CEN
trail Montana seriously entered the econom-
ic picture. Here were more than 40,000,OO0
acres, drained by the Yellowstone and Mis-

souri,, and their tributaries and broken only
slightly by small mountain ranges. 1t was
some of the best grazing land in the world.
Cattle and the cowboys who drove them
over the trails and managed them in the
classic roundupS on the range are most
often thought of in connection with this
era, but sheep-raising is vital part of the
picture The woohes did not come to Mon
tana as early as cattle, but the Jesuits had
some at st. Ignatius in 1857 and by 1862
Major Owen was raising sheep at Fort
Owen Conrad Kohr drove band of 400 to
his Deer Lodge range the next year Indeed,
the growth of sheep-raising in Montana was
even more spectacular than CATTLE In 1870
there were believed to be only about 5000
in the Territory, but in 1875 this had grown
to at least 10000. And in 1880 the total
was staggering 100000, with Montana
wool clips bringing more than 81 million.
The hard winter of 1886-87, roughly
considered the end of the open range peri
3D. was not as devastating to sheep as to
cattle and this induced some cattlemen to
turn to raising woolies although they were
inexperienced in this trickier business and
many had looked upon it with scorn. The
sheep bonanza was at its height in the Gay
Nineties, and by 1900 there were million
sheep in Montana, more than in any other
state The day of the big sheepman con-
tinued until the homestead period began
in earnest in 1910, when smaller operators
came with their fences and plows.
The story of the homesteader or 'hon-
yocker'' began with the penetration of the
transcontinental railroads, notably the
Great Northern which brougkt most of
them to eastern and central Montana. The
lure of virtually free land led to the settle
ment of some SO million acres and the crea-
ton of more than half of Montana's 30
counties.
