EARLYREPAIR WORK IS URGED FARMERS HAVING TROUBLE GET TING PARTS ADVISED TO CON TACT DEFENSE BOARDS Farmers having difficulty obtaining repair parts for farm machinery should notify their county U. S. D. A. de fense boards Immediately, advises R. J. McKenna, chairman of the Montana U. S. D. A. defense board. "Because of the shortage of new farm machinery and the fact that a record farm production Is needed dur ing 1942 to feed America and our al lies, every piece'of usable machinery now on farms will have to be ready for action next season," he explained. "County U. S. D. A. defense boards throughout the state are now con ducting campaigns urging farmers to repair all their machinery and have it ready for use by March 15.” "Enough metal to manufacture all farm machinery repair parts that will be needed has been assured, but manu facturers must know what and how many parts are needed before work begins. Metal and machines urgently needed for other work cannot be wast ed in turning out repair parts that aren’t needed,” McKenna said. Farmers are urged to check their machinery now and see their dealers for repairs. If the dealer doesn’t^ have parts needed and can't order them, the farmer should take the matter to his local U. S. D. A. defense board and from there it will be carried to Wash ington, where department of agricul ture offlclala»-can negotiate’ with de fense officials to secure manufacture of the parts. “This, however, will take time,” Mc- Kenna stated, "and farmers should as certain right now whether or not parts are available. If farmers put off or dering repair parts, some may have to go without them and crops might be lost as a result." This method of reporting unfilled needs to U. S. D. A. defense boards should also be utilized In case of short ages of bolts, nails, wire, welding rod and other metal products needed on farms. SHEEP, LAMBS INCREASE The agricultural department has es timated that there were 6,775,000 head of sheep and lambs on feed for mar ket on Jan. 1, an all-time record for that date and 5 percent more than the number a year ago. The number on feed was larger both in the 11 cornbelt states and in western and southwestern range sections, the de partment reported. "You're a dear sweet girl, Anna."

Landis, dean of the Harvard Law school, who has been named "ex ecutive” of this branch.

La- Guardia’s dual job-holding as civilian defense director and mayor of New York has provoked wide criticism. EARLY WESTERN CHARACTER KNEW MANY DANGERS CHARLES ROWE, DRIVING STAGE COACH, USED HIS HEAD TO ELUDE INDIANS Charles Rowe came to Montana in 1867 and had a few experiences with the Indians in the early days that made his hair stand on end. "One of the saddest things I ever saw,” he said years ago, when telling of the old times, "was when I was in the Whoop-up country, up near Fort McLeod. You know, there was a big stampede to that country, and my partner and I drove up with a team of mules in the dead of winter in order to be on hand early in the spring. "Well, we camped on a creek and while my partner was getting things fixed, I took an ax and started up the creek with the mules to see if I could find a place where I could cut enough Ice for winter. I tested it several times and kept getting farther and farther away from camp, when, in order to cut across a bend in the stream, I walked over a little nose of land to the edge of the creek. "When I got to the top of the rise, I saw the most blood-curdling thing that I ever expect to see In this life. There at the bottom of the ravine were two dead men. From appearances, they had been killed the night before. The tent was tom down, and I believe there must have been a thousand ar rows lying around In the snow. My first Impulse was to run for camp and prepare for a fight, but I thought better of it and went down to the bottom of the ravine to examine the bodies, and found them to be the fel lows who had started ahead of us— men that I knew very well. One was a little fellow from Missouri, and the other an Immense Frenchman who had come down from eastern Canada. "The little fellow had evidently been reading in his tent while lying in bed, by the light of a tallow dip. An arrow had penetrated his forehead be tween the eyes, and from all appear ances he had not stirred. One leg was drawn up as one usually lies in bed with the head propped up, while the right hand held a small book. “The big fellow, though, had made a terrible fight. There must have been 25 Indians. He had a dozen arrows in his body, and must have sold his life dearly, for blood was on the snow all around. One arrow had gone clear through a two-inch tent pole and was hanging by its feathers on the other side. All the firearms and knives, of course, were taken by the Indians, for I could find no such articles about the camp. I went back and reported my find to my partner and the next morning bright and early, we hit the trail for the lower country. When He Drove Stage "A funny thing happened when I was driving stage for the Wells-Fargo Co. over the Birdtail divide between Benton and Helena. In the winter when traffic was light we laid off the Concords and used the light wagons, which we called ‘snaks,’ and drove only one team of mules. I had the mules, what I called ‘chain broke.’ That is, I had whipped them with a chain that I always carried and as It hurt very much they were deathly afraid of it. They dreaded that chain so much that I had only to rattle it with my foot and they would run like the wind. "One day in December, 1868, I was driving into Twenty-Eight Mile springs, and Just as I was going up a slight Incline six or eight miles from the station, a war party of 14 Indians came riding over the hill. When they reached the top, they stopped a min ute for a pow-wow. Pretty soon eight of them came toward me, and when they were within about 25 yards, they shouted, 'How?’ and came dashing around me In a semi-circle to the rear, wheeled about and followed me. "I put my lines across my shoulders so I could guide the team, took up my repeater, as if to take alm, and while my passenger turned so he could keep his eye and gun on the eight, I kicked the chain. The mules, already anxious to get home, heard the rattle of the chain and they lit out like lightning. I started them to the right of the six Indians who. were coming down the hill from the ‘ front of us. As soon as the mules commenced to run, two of the party rode on to Intercept us. As one of them rode up THE HERALD-NEWS to my near mule and reached for the rein I took aim at him and he threw up his hands and wheeled to the rear. "By this time the whole party were following us on the dead run, but they were without firearms and thought better than to fight us with their ar rows. Although I could have picked every one off with my rifle they knew I would not attempt to unless forced, and that they might bluff me into submission. They would have taken our guns and team and probably our scalps, as was being done all around, but we soon outdistanced them as the mules were grain-fed and could run at break neck speed for a couple of miles. “When we got to the station we found the three stocktenders barri caded in the bam. The same party of Indians had attacked the cabin and the men had retreated to the stage barn, which was built to withstand an attack. The Indians had eaten what they wanted from the cabin and had thrown the rest into the snow. “The last trouble I had with the Indians was when I was on my ranch in the early seventies, 10 miles below town on the river. I had a man cut ting wood a couple of miles below the ranch. You could reach that place by going around the point of the bluff, or you could take a trail down a ra vine. The way of the ravine was short er than the other, but it ran mostly through brush and was hard to find. “Just after dinner one day as my wife was helping me hitch up the team, I saw four bucks coming around the point in their war paint and feathers. I hastily tied the team to the fence, and my wife ran for the rifle and cartridge belt. I shouted to them In Indian jargon to come no closer. They laughed and kept coming. I dropped on my knee and taking a bead on the foremost, told them if they came any nearer I would kill them all. “They stopped and told me there was a man down the river cutting wood, and they would go down and see him. They then started for me on the run, wheeled, and away they went down the river toward my hired man. “As rapidly as passible I stripped the harness from my fastest horse, and taking my rifle and that of the hired man, mounted the animal and started down the ravine on the dead run. I reached there, of course, far ahead of the Indians who had gone around the bluff and were taking their time. “The result was that when they rode up to look for the woodchopper, we were hidden In the brush and shot as near them as we could, at the same time shouting wildly. They were the most frightened bunch of Indians I ever saw. As they ran for their lives we kept shooting near them. They were In such a hurry to get out of sight that one was pushed off the narrow trail into the river. We never had any more visits from them, al though up to 1878 men were occasion ally killed in the same neighborhood." Agricultural Labor Recruiting Program Explained at Parley A nationwide agricultural labor re cruiting program to step up crop pro duction coincident with the American war effort was explained at the con ference of United States employment service representatives from 10 west ern states, at San Francisco. Fay W. Hunter, Washington, D. C„ newly appointed head of the farm placement service of USES, led the discussions. Hunter said San Francisco was the first city in which a nation wide series of conferences will be held to plan an unprecedented mobilization of farm labor necessary to harvest the proposed Increased crop acreage of 1942. James O. Bryant, regional represen tative of the USES In San’ Francisco, said the expanded food production program Is estimated to require 300,000 additional man-years of labor. To handle the expanded farm place ment service, a qualified agent will be placed In charge of farm labor recruit ing in each local employment office, Bryant said. Bryant placed particular stress on the Importance of far western farms and ranches In feeding a nation at war in the Pacific as he and other United States department of agricul ture officials outlined the "food for freedom” program. Among United States employment service representatives attending was James Brennan, farm placement su pervisor, Helena. MANY WHO FOUND RICH “DIGGINGS’’ PROFITED LITTLE THOMAS HUNT MADE FORTUNES FOR SEVERAL OTHERS BUT NONE FOR HIMSELF Men who made the original loca tions of some of the richest placer gold gulches In the early days of the territory of Montana did not always realize the value of their discoveries and many times disposed of their holdings for a trifle to more far seeing miners who then proceeded to skim the cream from the milk. Of those who failed to profit to any great extent but who paved the way for the fortunes of others was Thomas B. Hunt, who settled in Alder gulch In the days of Its prosperity and who In later years engaged In ranching in the same part of the ter ritory. Hunt went to Virginia City in 1864, and in the fall of that year he took up a ranch just below where the town of Pony now stands. That was years before the town of Pony was bom, however. He was accompanied by his partner, W. B. Webb, each locating a quarter section of land. In January, 1865, Hunt, accompa nied by A. W. Pence, started out to locate some new “diggings.” They first went to where the city of Butte is now located and there found one cabin occupied by Press Scott. They remained there only one night, the place not looking very promising, and then continued down the gulch to Silver Bow, where they met some Vir ginia City boys, who were taking gold out of the gulch. The pair did not remain there but proceeded on down the valley and stopped overnight with Bill Norton, whose cabin was near the famous Warm springs, which afterwards be- came the site of the state insane asylum. Then they passed through Cottonwood, now the city of Deer Lodge, were they met Granville and Jim Stuart and some others they had known in Virginia City. They stayed all night in that camp and witnessed the Vigilantes running a “greaser" out of camp. The following morning they started over the hills and on the divide be tween Cottonwood and Dog creek, they lost their way. A snowstorm came up and compelled them to go Into camp, waking up the next morning under a covering of 18 Inches of snow. After several hours of wandering they came back to an opening through which they could see the valley whence they had come. So, back to Norton’s they went and remained there a week until the storm had cleared up, when they resumed their Journey, this time picking up Charley Dorr at Cotton wood and subsequently camping on the ground that was afterwards known as Blackfoot City. The gulch they named Ophir and here Hunt dug a hole and found gravel that panned out 5 cents to the pan. Dorr and Pence went across to Tiger gulch where they found gold, but in such small quantities that it was not deemed worth while to work it. They then went Into the main gulch at Ophir and found good pay dirt at 13 feet. They then went down the gulch a couple of miles and located what they called the discovery claim of the gulch. This was the first scratch the gulch ever received and it was the opening of one of the best gold producing gulches In the territory. Once the value of the gravel was demonstrated, Pence went back to Deer Lodge and returned with Bill Norton and Ed Sanders. John Little of Silver Bow was also taken in. They made a code of mining laws and assigned a certain amount of ground to each charter member of the company. The party worked until late In the fall and from one pit 13 feet square they took S6OO in gold. In the fall Hunt sold his Interest In the discov ery claim to John Vlpond for SI,OOO but retained a claim up where Black foot City afterwards stood. This Hunt sold for a song and It afterwards de veloped to be a rich piece of ground. About this time, there occurred the famous stampede to Washington gulch and Hunt Joined the rush. Ground was staked off for miles around and Hunt took up a claim on top of a hill which he traded to a tenderfoot for a yoke of bulls and SSOO In cash. Webb, in turn, sold out his interest at Ophir for SI,OOO and went to New York gulch where he lost all his money. The two had cleaned up about $3,000 between them and had let loose of property which subsequently yield ed many thousands of dollars in gold. They, however, were out to discover new gulches and while they di^ find one or two, other meh made the money out of them. When Hunt outfitted at Virginia City for his second trip into the Black foot country, flour was selling for S3O Say with cheerful!) I Sunnyß Brook . V.
