F ANY more evidence were needed to
definitely establish Montana as the
leading high quality grain produc
ing area of t«e world, that evidence
was supplied at the 1927 hay and grain
show at the International Livestock Ex
position held at Chicago at the close
of November. In the five major grain
divisions, wheat, oats, rye, flax and bar
ley. the Treasure state won nearly 54
per cent of the prize money awarded.
Out of a total of 237 places in these di
visions Montane grains were awarded
111. There were 13 classes in these di
visions and in these classes Montana
won nine first places, 11 second places
and 10 third places. In the six cham
pionship contests in the five major grain
divisions Montana won four champion
ships and four reserve championships,
winning either the top place oi next to
the top place in each of the divisions
and both places in the durum wheat and
barley divisions. With further winnings
in the timothy and alfalfa classes Mon
tana's total was raised to five champion
ships and five reserve championships.
While Montana produced the winning
grain at the show this state also pro
duced the champion exhibitors. C. Edson
Smith of Corvallis, long known as an
exhibitor of high quality grain at the
International and winner of many laurels
in the past exceeded all previous records
made by a single exhibitor by capturing
three world's championships, one in bread
wheat, one in durum wheat and one in
barley. His fellow exhibitor from the
Bitter Root valley. L. E. Peterson of
Victor, shared individual honors with
him, the latter winning the champion
ship in flax and reserve championships
in barley and alfalfa. T. H. Busteed of
Busteed. Stillwater county, narrowly
missed one of the greatest honors of the
hay and grain show when, after long
deliberation the judges placed his sam

sult the Canadian exhibitor was awarded
the reserve world's wheat championship.
In the hard red winter wheat class
Montana won 15 places, including all of
the first 12 except eighth place. C. Edson
Smith won first in this class and with
his sample also won the world's wheat
championship. In the soft red winter
class Montana won six places including
third, fourth, sixth, tenth, fourteenth
and sixteenth. In the hard red spring
class Montana growers gained 11 places,
including second, fourth, sixth, tenth
and eleventh. Honors in the durum class
went to Montana growers with a total of
11 out of the first 12 places, losing only
the ninth place. Montana's superiority
was even more striking in the white
spring wheat class in which the Treasure
state carried all of the first 10 places.
Most outstanding was Montana's show
ing in the barley classes. In this Mon
tana won both championship and re
serve championship and in the four
classes that make up the barley division.

twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, eight
1 eenth and twentieth, and eight places in
the early oats class, including the first
three as well as sixth, seventh, eighth,

a real contest this year. The exhibit of
August Gerdto of Deer Lodge placed
second and in addition Montana won
third, fourth, eighth, ninth, tenth, four
tenth, sixteenth, nineteenth and twenty
first.
In flax Montana won the champion
ship as well as fourth, seventh and

the timothy championship when Ole
Eggen of Absaroke placed first in this
class; other Montana growers winning
fourth and seventh. The Glenrock Farms
of Billings won fourth in field peas and
ninth in flint com.
Montana's triumphs were witnessed by
more than 300 visitors from the Treasure
state, including more than 40 boys and
girls 4-H club members who were guests
of the Milwaukee railroad and more than
150 cattle and sheep men who went to
Chicago on the special train organized
by the Northern Pacific railroad. W. L.
Casey, of the State Department of Agri
culture was in charge of Montana's ex
hibits at the hay and grain show.
The Treasure state also was represented
at the International exposition with two
excellent cattle exhibits—Shorthorns by
Childs and Anceny of Gallatin Gateway,
and Herefords by A. B. Cook, and an out
standing Hampshire sheep exhibit by the
Mount Haggin Land and Livestock
pany of Anaconda.
The Cook exhibit was rated as the
third best among the Herefords at the
exposition, and Mr. Cook was honored
by being elected to the board of directors
of the International Livestock Exposition.
Childs and Anceney, exhibiting at the
show for the first time, did exceptionally
well in one of the strongest Shorthorn
classes in the history of the Interna
tional. The Gallatin Valley herd won 13
places. The Mount Haggin Hampshires

FIRST BATH TUB
MAKES LAST TRIP ATOP A
GARBAGE WAGON
Shotgun Ike" Was First Man to Use It,
Says an Old-Timer and Because Paint
Came Off on Him His Friends Had to
Rub Him Down with a Rasp
Perched atop a garbage wagon,
dumpward bound, was an antique
among antiques, one of the earliest of
early Montana period bathroom fix
tures, in short a bath tub.
. . Curious
people had to ask several times before
an old-timer offered the information,
"that's a bath tub. Once a governor
'washed off' in it when he came up on
the stage; previous to Its introduction
we used to swim In the Missouri.
"It had only one trouble and that was
its paint ■ work around housecleaning
time. Then it was always painted white.
Whoever took the first hot bath after it
was painted usually came out looking like
a piece of chalk. Once it was gilded
silver. An old fellow named Ike, used to
call him 'Shotgun,' took the first bath
In the tub. When he emerged he looked
like a gilded Illy, and we had to use the
blacksmith's rasp to clean him."
Reputable records show that the first
bath tub in the United States was built
by Adam Thompson In 1842 in Cincin
nati. Thompson found out about bath
tubs on a trip to England. The water
for this tub was pumped into an upper
tank by hand and the kitchen lamp
placed by it to take the chill off.
Thompson, the records show, immedi
ately gave a bath tub party. He was not
Indicted nor arrested for the party, legal
minds of the country evidently being
busy with other things in 1842. The
party was held on Christmas day. All
men present tried the tub, but the water
was too cold for the women. News of
the party created a national sensation—
even if the bath tub was filled with but
cold water.
Doctors at the time deliberated and
announced that frequent bathing would
result In rheumatic fever, inflammation
of the lungs, water blisters and extinc
tion of the race.
Boston passed a law in 1845, which was
not repealed until 1862, that forbade
bathing except when ordered by a physi
cian. Physicians did not approve of
bathing, although they considered It all
right to wash the neck, ears and hands.
This, records show, happened in the town
where housewives who had candles light
ed in their homes after 8:30 at night
were Immersed under the pump.

AN OLD-TIMER
TELLSOFSTORM
40 FORT SHAW SOLDIERS LOST FEET,
HANDS OR FINGERS IN
BLIZZARD OF 1871
. , _ on Expedition to Destroy
Whisky Trader was Selling Indians and
Howling Gale that Followed Warm Day
Caught Them Unprepared, Says Vetefan
Had Been
This month recalls many pleasant
and unpleasant memories to those old
soldiers who faced death at the hands
of the Indians back in 1871. From
Columbus, Ohio, comes a letter to the
Montana Historical library signed bv
William Moelchert, late sergeant of
Company B, Seventh United States In
fantry, describing the battle of Cow
Island in September, 1877, and the
blizzard encountered near Fort Shaw
In November, 1871. Fort Shaw was at
time one of the many scattered
military posts of the northwest. The
letter was hand written and although
clear, showed the feebleness of Mr.
Moelchert in his eightieth year.
Stationed at Port Shaw, November,
1871, the United States marshal came to
the post and the next morning two com
panies, H and B, under the command of
Major Freeman went with him not know
ing where we were going," said Mr. Moel
chert. "Anyhow when we stopped at the
Crow Agency, orders came to take every
thing out of the wagons and leave there.
That night we piled In the wagons and
traveled until after midnight when
pulled up before a log cabin.
"After repeated knocking not being
answered, broke in the door, arrested the
trader, pulled out about three barrels of
whisky, broke in their heads and let the
whisky run out. There was a dispute
for a while that we were in Canadian
territory. We brought the trader with us
t w e marshal took him to Helena.
What became of him we never heard, all
the goods were left at the Crow Agency.
"Now comes the story I would like
for you to know. We came back as far as
the 28-mile ranch from Benton towards
Shaw, camped there that night and in
the morning broke camp. It was warm
and we wrapped our overcoats in our
bedding and went on toward Sun river.
We saw a storm coming up and when
we reached the divide it broke loose and
we couldn't see the hand before our face.
We threw our guns In the feed boxes and
held on the tail rope and where the
wagons went we went and good fortune
had it that the mules kept the middle of
the road or else we all had been left to
tell the tale.
"One sergeant of my company ran
ahead and when we reached him he lay
in the middle of the road froze stiff
we
as a
poker. It took six men to put him in the
wagon and four men to hold him there
so he wouldn't fall off. Well, to make It
short he lost both hte feet; all his left
hand and all of his right hand except
the thumb and forefinger; 12 others lost
both feet or both hands, about 40 lost
all their toes, some the majority of their
fingers and others, like myself, frozen
ears and noses.
"From October, 1872, to April, 1875, I
was stationed at Fort Benton and every
fall took trips to Helena for lumber, with
three six-mule teams. We camped out
side the town but like all good soldiers
took In the sights at night, quite differ
ent then to what it is now."

yer-delegate from Park county, supported
Mr ' Joyes by ex P la ining the crowded con
dition of his home county's court cal
endar.
"I had an idea when we assembled
here," said Mr. Joyes, "it was for the
purpose of establishing a better govern
ment than that under which we now
live, and I also supposed that the purpose
of establishing courts of Justice was to
administer justice and not
pense."
C. R. Middleton (democrat), a lawyer
delegate from Custer county, replied to
Mr. Joyes in this manner:
"Now, the argument of the gentleman
from Jefferson that they have not had a
civil case tried for the last eight years,
and his further argument that it will
take six or seven weeks to do away with
the accumulation of eight years' business
is to me the strongest kind of indication
that that county does not need a judge.
His own argument is conclusive. If a
judge can dispose of ».he work in that
county, the accumulation of eight years,
in six or seven weks, I submit there is
no good reason and it is no good argu
ment why there should be a judge in
that county.
"The argument of the gentleman from
Park that it will save a large amount of
costs that are now required in keeping
persons in jail, and for witnesses, and
that sort of thing, does not obtain for
this reason, that we propose to have four
terms of court in each county. Those
persons who would have to be held if
there was a Judge for every county be
cause in the districts where a county
composes a district, there is simply pro
vision for four terms of court in that
county."
When the vote was taken Dr. Parberry's
argument prevailed. And that principle
