!PIONEER NOTES 7
I'uhrles P. WVindirly of St. Louis,
his idate Ieieg 'i-f, was one of the hap
fiest f-llows of the cro ad yesterday.
His home is inl St. Louis now, but he
conIes once' each year to Montana to
hellp tihe I, iliersI celebrate. With hinlt
this y.ar ainoe 'Cal tailn Sall -. \on
derly and his wife' and daughter, Mrs.
Maloney, from Alder. Charles Won
derly lthas a wonderful lmelInory for
faces alid was alie to place Imlost of
the early seittlers i.esterday without
when Walter Darhee came up to him
and said, "Hello, Charles. I haven't
seen you before for 40 years." That
was the truth, the two having formerly
been very well acquainted. There was
a pleasant revival of stories and ex
periences after that meeting.
Mrs. Ruth A. Burton of Butte is one
of the guests in Missoula this week
who carries the dauntless spirit of pio
neer days into the present. Mrs. Bur
ton has lived in Butte for 30 years.
Last year it seemed advantageous for
her to take up a claim nine miles out
of IButte. And so, although she is 72
years of age, Mrs. Burton has been in
residence upon her homestead and she
says she likes the experience.
Manager C. E. Woodworth of the
Missoula theater and his collection of
relics of pioneer days in Montana were
both much sought after and admired
during the meeting. Mr. Woodworth
has his collection arranged in a win
dow of the theater building and a
group of interested people hovered
about this most of the time. Each one
wouldt find something there of partic
ular interest to him and Mr. Wood
worth was continually pressed for de
tailed information about where this or
that article was secured. The splen
did display was much admired and ap
Ireciated.
Bozeman was the only city that asked
to entertain the pioneers next year.
The invitation came through Mr. Ed
wards of that city, he carrying special
invitations from the pioneer society of
Gallatin county and from the chamber
of commnlerce of Bozeman. The year
1914 will mark the semi-centennial an
niversary of the founding of B:ozeman
and this event is to be celebrated in the
Sweet Pea city, its people eslpecially
desiring the presence of the pioneers
at that time.
Coffee and Sterling had things
splendidly In hand on the Stevensville l
trip yesterday. They tcomienced
right by assisting the conductor check
up the crowd for paid admissions, and
all day they looked after the details
of the schedule of train and automo
hiles, and were ever ready to assist
in making things pleasanit for all con
cerned. No three men could have
ldonie nmore than those two accotn
plished along this line yest erday.
\\When the pioneers get b1nne andt
stop to consider the many things that
were done for their entertaitnent and
romlfort while Missoula's gluests, they
will think first of the young fellow
who has been waiting on them in every
co(nieivable manner, night ridl day,
almost since they arrived. The first
day eMassey McC'ollough met \every in
com'lng train and escorted visitors to
the hall and found them rooms and
hotel-. That evening he helped every
ntly get acquainted, fouml chairs for
the old ladies and helped old gentle
ioen up or down stairs. Yesterday he
was early at the train, aond all during
the day he gave the same considerate
attention to his c(hargyes. The pio
neers UlaV not remember his name
pIerhaps they did not hear it--but they
will bless Massey just the same and
always remember his unselfish kind
Thirty-four years rag, Archie Mc
Phail of New C'hicago and Miss Anna
Mi(Kale, then a school teacher in the
little log si hoolht)uase this side of
I)rmlluniond, started ioff one morning
for a slow overland trip to Stevens
ville. There they found Father Ha
valli and asked him to marry them
imlnediately. A simple ceremony fol
lowedl in the old mnissionl church, anid
Mr. anld Mrs. Mci-Phal went back to
New ('hiceago, man and wife. Since
then they hiave lived in or about New
Chicago, reared a fanily andt pros
pered. Yesterday they motored to
Stevensville and revisited the scene of
their weddling. The old churcth has, not

e- ea"l . i n l nt tllal I'ather Ravalli was

BECK FLIES TWICE
WITH GREAT
SUCCESS
YOUNG BIRDMAN ENTERTAINS
PIONEERSANDTHEN MAKES
WORKDAY FLIGHT.
Aviator W.alter Beck was in the air
twice yesterday, although but
one flight had been scheduled. The'
first performance was an exhibition
giveLn for the pioneers, entrain on their
return from Stevensville. A choppy
wind forced the birdman to land in
an out of the way place and he was
hobliged to make a second flight to e.
turn a ith his machine to the car barns
for loading.
It was thought by many who saw the
exhibition over the excursion train
that the aviator had lost control of
his machine when he landed. Beck ex
plains his early landing, however, by
saying: "The wind during the aft
ernoon was of the most unfavorable
kind. A steady breeze doesn't make
flying especially difficult, but a chop
py. uneven wind like I had to contend
with makes a flight almost impossible.
I got in the air all right and flew over
the train, but when I had given that
much of the exhibition, I didn't feel.
that the risk of a return trip was
warranted."
After crossing above the train, Beck I
landed etn the county fair grounds
site. The machine was kept there
until 7 o'clock when he flew hack to
the car barns, where it was loaded for
transportation to Riverside.
In the Canyon Today.
The aviator will give two exhibitions
at Riverside park, at 4 o'clock and
7 o'clock today. Because of the canyon
calls, it is thought by some that the
park grounds will offer some new
problems in air currents. When
Aviator Maroney was here some weeks
ago he gave it as his opinion that
the air currents there would make
flying more precarious than on an
open flat. Beck, however, doubts this
theory. He believes that he will find
no more difficulties at Riverside than
a small area for landing.
MONTANA GRAIN CROPS
