President of Great Falls Boy Scout
Council
ONTINUATION of the building of
trails in the national parks was re
sumed this summer in Glacier park.
Twenty-five Eagle Scouts from the
west and northwest spent two weeks,
from Aug. 15 to Aug. 28. 1 nthe park, en
camped at Red Eagle landing on St.
Mary's lake. Some three-fourths of a
mile of new trail, designed for patrol
purposes, was built, extending from Red
Eagle landing up the lake towards the
Going-to.-the-Sun chalets. The Scouts
worked under the supervision of Scout
Executive R. G. Mathews of Everett,
Wash., and Clarence Willey of the na
tional park service. Working hours were
from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m. each day, with
the afternoon free for recreation and
sight seeing.
This trail was over new territory and
the work consisted in •'swamping" out
the line of the trail some 9 to 10 feet
in width, removing all timber, under
growth and boulders. With this thus
cleared, a trail three feet in width was
graded up. A line about 40 feet above
the level of the lake was maintained as
closely as possible. Boulders, stumps and
obstacles too heavy or difficult to be
moved were blown out by an experienced
''powder man" attached to the camp.
This piece of trail is the first link in a
trail leading from Red Eagle landing to
Sun camp along the south shore of St.
Mary's lake. It is expected that next
year's camp can prosecute the work much
faster because of the experience gained
this year.
The national park service, as in the
past, furnished transportation to and
from the camp site from Glacier Park
station, all food supplies and the cook
ing thereof, tentage and working tools.
The Scouts needed to furnish only per
sonal equipment and bedding.
Every evening the Scout campfire was
held under the direction of Scout Execu
tive R. E. Crompton. Songs, acting of
short plays, story telling and short talks
enlivened the time. Each campfire ended
with the voice of the "Camp Spirit' 'tell
ing of some great Scout truth and the
Scout benediction.
Fishing and swimming were available
and some of the Scouts had their early
morning dip each day in the chilly wa
ter of St. Mary's.
The two outstanding trips taken by the
Scouts were: First an all-day hike over
Piegan pass to Many Glacier. This trip
was taken on Sunday, Aug. 21. Trans
ported by boat to Sun camp, the Scouts
hiked over the mountains to Many Gla
c
cier, there to be met by cars and taken
back to St. Mary chalets. Thence returned
to camp by boat. A dinner at Many Gla
cier hotel wound up this day. most of
which was actually spent above the
clouds.
At th eclose of camp on Saturday noon,
the party was met at St. Mary's chalets
by trucks furnished by the Indian serv
ice. through the Interest and courtesy of
F. C. Campbell, superintendent in charge
of the Blackfeet Indian reservation. The
trucks took them to Heart Butte substa
tion and there the Scouts were met by
Blackfeet braves in full ceremonial re
galla. After their arrival had been an
nounced by mounted Indians who had
come out to give the signal, they were
formally welcomed by Chief Mountain
, ,
over White Tail creek. The welcoming
speeches. given in sign language, were in
terpreted by Richard Sanderville, official
interpreter for the agency.
Responses were made by Commissioner
£. G. Maclay of Great Falls and Eagle
Scout Bryce Wood of Everett, Wash. After
greetings were exchanged the Scouts were
Chief and Judge No Coat at the bridge
escorted to their camping ground and
there made preparation for supper and
the night.
After dinner the Scouts and Indians'
held an informal meeting about their
campfire, after which they adjourned to
a hall for formal ceremonies and tribal
dances by the Indians. During the even
ing the Blackfeet exemplified their adop
tion ceremony formally taking into the
tribe Commissioner Maclay, to whom the
name of Nita-Pita "Lone Eagle" was
given, following which Eagle Scout Lloyd
Lillie of Portland. Ore., was inducted
mto the tribe. Lillie was given the name
of Nina Pita "Chief Eagle," a name of
high traditions in the Blackfeet tribe,
Chief Eagle's .'now dead) grandson, Duck
Head, wa spresent. Duck Head later pre
sented to Lillie his eagle feather head
dress. After this ceremony all Scouts and
leaders were taken into the Indian circle

are bound to be lasting. The Eagle Scouts
were most interested in getting from the
Indians first hand their hopes and am
bitions. A project these Indians are now
interested in is the building of a commu
nity house and workshop, wherein social
and other gatherings may be held and
also as a headquarters for the making of
Indian curios and mementos for sale,
Members of the tribe are interested in
learning weaving and basket making
such as practiced by other tribes, into
which may be woven their traditions and
their hopes. The Scouts were very sym
pathetic to this ambition and it is felt

holds that the right of eminent domain

690 HEAD OF ANIMALS BELONG TO
CHEYENNE INDIANS SOLD AT
AUCTION AT LAME DEER
Money Received Will Be Distributed to
Owners Through Agency During Next
Few Months; Method of Marketing Pre
ferred to Shipping Direct.
Six hundred and ninety head of high
grade Hereford cattle, belonging to
members of the Northern Cheyenne
tribe living on the Tongue River reser
vation, were recently sold at public
auction and brought $50,000. Between
25 and 30 buyers from Montana and
Wyoming and from the principal mar
kets of the middle west bid on the
stock.
Most of the cattle sold are to be
shipped to market where they will be
sold as feeders. The Northern Cheyenne
Indians have bred up a very fine herd
of Hereford cattle in the last 25 years
and this stock has commanded highest
prices in the markets where it has been
sold for a number of years. The plan
of selling the cattle before shipment was
thought to be more satisfactory to the
Indians than shipping.
The cattle are all in fine shape and of
an extra good grade of Hereford stock.
The highest price was brought by a lot of
41 head of three-year-old steers which
was sold to William H. Jensen for $111
apiece. M. Levine of St. Paul, bought 165
head of two-year-old steers for $80, and
W. B. Spear of Sheridan, took another
lot of 89 head at the same price. Charles
Tompkins of Kirby, bought seven cows
and calves at $85. John Wallace of Sheri
dan bought al Ithe yearlings offered,
paying $60 apiece for 207 steers and $50
apiece for 47 heifers. Forty-three old
bulls were sold to W. L. Cooley at $51,
and 97 dry cows to William H. Jensen for
$73.50 each.
