Among the earliest explorers of Montana was Maximilian, prin of Wled-Neuwied in Rhenish Prussia. Maximilian was born in 1762, served as a young man in the Prussian army and at an early age developed a liking and talent for exploration. Alter the close of the Napoleonic wars, from which he emerged as a major general, with a distinguished record, the prince, in 1815, set out for Brazil. After two years in South America, dur ing which be made several notable contributions to science, he decided to come to North America. But as affairs of state delayed him, it was not until 1832 that he was able to resume exploration and he landed in Boston in July of that year. Among his companions was Charles ! j Bodmer, a young Swiss painter, who j was one of the first real artists to I visit this section, and whose views of Indian life are classics Ascends Missouri on Steamboat Maximilian journeyed westward slowly and reached St. Louis in toe spring of 1833.

MONTANA ARTIST OF CENTURY AGO ATLIN WROTE AND PAINTED ALONG UPPER MISSOURI IN FUR TRADING DAYS Mouth of Yellowstone in 1512, Are n™ In Smithsonian .n.tl.nl. .. National Capital; Form Wonderland Record of Days That Are Gone. The life of the people who in habited Montana a hundred years ago, the Indians in their natural state, the fur trappers and traders, the river men who worked on the Mackinaw and early steam craft. the half-breed hunters and voy a g curs—all the motley gathering of human life on the western frontier of that day—presents a fascinating pictnre to the present generation of Montanans. Much of the detail of the life of that long-gone day would have been lost to us forever, had It not been for the efforts of a handful of writers and painters to whom the picturesqueness of the life appealed and who realized that the oncoming of civilization would erase all trace and memory of It as marks in the sand are wiped out by the wind. Montana owes much in a historical way to one man, George Catlin, who spent eight years among the Indian tribes of North America and left a wonderfully graphic and accurate ac count of what he saw in his wander ings, besides a splendid collection of drawings and paintings that form an; imperishable record of a day that has gone. Catlin came to Montana in 1832 and spent the summer at Port Yellow stone and elsewhere on the upper Mis- I souri, observing the customs and habits 1 of the Indians and the white popula-' tion that made a business of trading with the red men. and sketching every thine he saw that was of Interest Every Short child to Montana should be told about Catlin, and it; u'ould be a fine thincr for this ctAtp if mulà ** published, telling the fas cinatlng story that Catlln has left of w hat he saw in Montana nearly a cen tUry ag0 ' ° ne of 14 Children hs 2î?

"There are two distinct points of | view," he wrote, in his Travels in : North America.' "in which that re-I markable country may be considered. | Some travelers are interested by toe I rude, primitive character of the nat- i ural face of North America and its | aboriginal population; while the ma- I jorlty are more inclined to contera- j plate toe Immigrant population and the gigantic strides of civilization in troduced by It." : porx. .. .

One of toe party succeeded in carry ing their appeal to toe commanding officer of Port Ellis. 175 miles away, and when four troops of United States cavalry appeared, the garrison aban doned the townsite and returned to Bozeman. But to return to the voyage up the Yellowstone that attracted attention to the possibilities of that river as a highway of commerce. Two days' journey above the mouth of the river the Josephine drew in sight of an isolated butte rearing its head above the southern bank and, from the point where it was first seen, apparently standing in toe river itself. The ap pearance of It aroused toe greatest attention on board, for It was at once recognized as Pompey's Pillar, the fa mous landmark discovered by Capt.

Numberless Islands Split Channel The great river, though apparently undiminished in volume, grew more and more swift, constantly breaking into rapids through which It was nec essary to warp and spar toe boat while numberless small islands split the channel into chutes. At length after two days of incessant struggle! Pryor's fork was reached. The next day the Josephine pushed on, but before nightfall a tremendous rapid was encountered, which was passed only after a hard struggle. Here the name "Hell Roaring rapids" was given to the torrent. At dawn of the next day a reconnoitertng party ex amined toe river for several miles fur ther up, but the current was found to be so powerful that it was decided to turn back. The Josephine had reached a Point 463 miles above the mouth of the northeast comer of the present Yellowstone national park—nearly 40 mUes up the stream from the site of Billings.
