big cattlemen of the country and ofcourse they had the buffalo—threesmall herds—one bought from Walk-ing Coyote and sixteen of them boughtfrom Buffalo Bill Cody who had raisedthem from

neverc calves.As u

could be trained hesold them to Pablo and they were ship-ped here on the railroad. Mrs. Bellsaid one old bull often stood in themiddle of the road and the teams went'round him, and a long way around.Pablo was reputed to be worth over amillion when he died but his wife livedin poverty during her last years. Shedid not know how to spend money or tokeep it and loaned large sums to friendswho had no pity for her in her old age.Mr. Dubay, who still lives on the

Minesinger trail was a young man then.He came west to teach at the Fathers'school, married and still lives on theplace where he first settled. He is pastninety now.When Mrs. Bell came to the reserva-

tion from Colville the Indians here worebreech clouts and long hair and shewas very much afraid of them as theColville Indians dressed much the sameas the whites.An Indian dance then was a fearful

thing to watch. Not a paid perform-ance as it is now with a few very oldmen and small boys in the ring. Eachdance was symbolic of some belief orsuperstition.She tells of an Indian woman who

had been scalped and left for deed bythe Blackfeet. Some of the Flatheadshad gone to the Mission on Saturdaynight before Easter to be there all dayfor church. On their way home, aboveRevelli, on the old trail which was onthe other side of the Jocko, they werewaylaid by the Blackfeet who had ampletime to plan their ambush. The bandof Flatheads were all killed but the onewoman who always wore a clotharound her head, instead of the ex-ceptionally long hair which had beenher pride and which no doubt the prideof the one who took it. The ambushtook place, as near as Mrs. Bell can re-member, at the Junction of the highwaywith the Valley Creek road. There un-til a few years ago stood three immensepines. Old timers told us that the treeswere full of arrow heads from the bat-tle.When the Bells came to the Flathead

they stopped at Duncan McDonald'sstore at Revell' and bought some sup-plies. Mrs. Bell still has a platteredged with. brown pansies that she,bought that day.She tells an interesting and pathetic'

story of the mother of Louis Finley wholives near Turtle Lake. She was a beau-tiful blonde white woman who had been I

taken when • very small child fromsome wagon train that had not beenable to fight off the Indians. They hadall been killed but the lovely littlewhite child of perhaps three years. Shelived with them and finally marriedone and had sixteen children—some ofthem blonde and blue-eyed.Like most pioneer women Mrs. Bell

was a combination nurse and doctor."People sent for me any time of nightor day," she relates, "and I alwayswent. There was no thought of pay—we did what we could for each other."She tells of delivering a fourteen

pound baby all by herself; that wouldbe a Job for a couple of doctors andnurses now. Both the mother and babylived—in fact Mrs. Bell says she neverlost a baby or mother in all her mid-wifery. Sometimes there were no clothesfor the baby and she had to use whatshe could find."When I think," she said, "of the

lovely stork showers that are given now

I remember those days when we hadso little. The women had one woodentub and a washboard and now we groanwhen we have to haul out the electricwasher."Mrs. Bell's maiden name was Mori-

geau, one well known in Montana his-tory. She had ten children, several ofthem livig near Ronan; over fortygrandchildren and about ten greatgrandchildren.After leaving Ronan the Bells moved

to Poison and put up the first buildingon the townsite where the Cramergrocery now stands; later they movedacross the street where Bickford'sshop is and they later moved that houseto its present location.Mrs. Bell lives all alone with her gar-

den and flowers. 'The neighbors arekind," she says. "When I am sick theytake care of me as I cared for otherslong ago. It all comes back to youwhat you do for others or to them—itall comes beck."—By Mrs. C. W. Buell.

Here's what to say about"CONDITIONS"

When you hear people grumble about l'oonditkme," letthem know that our country, after all, is far and away themost prosperous of the major nations! It's been that wayas far back as we can remember; and in our mind there'ssomething mighty fine about a country (or anything else,for that matter!) that can stay, consistently foremost. Sojoin us! All honor to it, this Independence Day!

IT'S A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FOURTHAll the heritage of years gone by is a reminder that ourcountry has been, and is, superior to the troubles andconstant afflictions that it has always faced. In everyway it is the greatest on earth—these 48 states, born inrevolution and the courage of far-sighted men. Andwhatever the tiny faults we may find, we also recognizeon this, its 161st Anniversary, that our nation is supremeabove all others. We therefore pay particular tribute toit on this 4th of July!
