)1' 4 • elfeletaie THE EICALAKA EAGLE. • JIM HILL COUL N'T HORE ROG FOR HELENA TRIP UNTIL MENTON FOLKS FED HOS PARTY Fort Benton once \slipped one ever\ on James J. Hill, best known by the titles \financier \railroad builder,\ and \empire builder.\ Despite the many yarns of Ole, his bull and \Yim\ Hill, there are few persons who \slipped things over\ on Mr. Hill and very few indeed are the communities that have that distinc- tion. It was during the building of the Great Northern railway from Havre to Butte that Fort Benton made Mr. Hill do a thing he very much did not want to do—and Fort BeIlt011 made him like it. The story was told a few days ago by John Farrell, general superin- tendent of the Oregon, Washington Railway and Navigation company. Mr. Farrell told the story to Gov- ernor Stewart of Montana, Governor Whytecombe of Oregon, State Veter- inarian Butler and D. D. Richards, secretary of the Missoula chamber of commerce as the party was enroute from Lewiston, Idaho, to Portland, traveling with Mr. Farrell in his private car. Mr. Farrell was one of the young men of determination and ability that Mr. Hill gathered about him when he undertook to build the Great Northern. Mr. Ferrell began his work at Minot, N. D., and was in charge of various parts of the construction work as far as Helena. Let Mr. Farrell tell his story. He odes it well: — Relieves Stiff Neck When you wake up with a stiff neck or sore muscles. strains or sprains, use Sloan's Liniment.

Sloan's Liniment KILLS PAIN \I was in charge f a construction gang and train that was 'dressing' the road -bed and laying rails from Havre to Helena. We had reached a point near Fort Benton when we learned trhat Mr. Hill and party of of- ficials were to arrive within th‘ next two days. These men were making a general inspection trip of the work and were going on to Helena. They were coming by train as far as Fort Benton and from there would drive through to Helena. \I gave out the news and imme- diately the people of Fort Benton arranged a big 'banquet -breakfast,' I suppose you would call it. The ar- rangement§ for this big party were going along finely and Mr. Hill sVas informed that he would be royally entertained in Fort Benton. He wired me confidentially that he v4 , ould not stop in Fort Benton at all and would expe,ct me to have outfits ready to start in the morning as soon as the train arrived. Couldn't Hire a Rig. \We who were on the job knew that the 'banquet -breakfast' might not be altogether a love feast, be- cause, as you people from Montana know, Fort Benton did not relish the idea of the railroad being built so far from the then main part of the town. Mr. Hill must have gotten wind of this and the result—his de- cision to go right through to Helena. \I had nothing to do but obey or- ders. When I received Mr. Hill's wire I began making arrangements for his trip to Helena without the Fort Benton stopover. \I vvent to the largest livery sta- ble in town and asked for teams and drivers for a trip to Helena,.•the out- fits to be ready at 8 o'clock next morning, the time scheduled for the arrival of Mr. Hill 'and party. To my dismay I was told that all the out- fits had been engaged and my order could not be taken or filled. I went to another stable. I got the same answer. Nothing Doing Anywhere. \All day I went from place to place trying to get those teams. I went to the farmers near the city. Same ansvver. Nowhere, for love or money —I had increased the price offered generally charged in my now almost frantic efforts to cat ry out Mr. Hill's orders—but I couldn't get the teams. Some one had 'tipped' Mr. Hill's hand. The whole town and the farm- ing country near it was a combina- tion in restraint of trade as far as Mr. Hill and his party were concern- ed. \I was 'stumped.' I had done all possible but had to admit defeat. When Mr. Hill's train arrived, the whole town was at the little shack station platform to meet him. He asked for his outfit to go onto Hel- ena— then he asked for me. I ex- plained as best I could. After some discussion, very distasteful., discus- sion to me, Mr. Hill laughed and proved himself a 'good sport.' He took hie party to the 'banquet -break- fast' and immediately after the Fort Benton people had finished with him, he found better outfits awaiting him at the door than I could have hired. He and his party were then set down in Helena in what was record time for the distance in those days.\ OLD FRAME LANDMARK TORN DOWN IN BOZEMAN Probably the oldest hotel building in Montana has just been torn down in Bozeman. It was a frame struc- ture erected in the fall of 1866 by John AI. Bozeman, for whom the town was named, and K. W. 4.. Fraz- ier, and it was operated as a hotel by Mr. and Airs. Frazier, except for a short period, until the fall of 1869. It was known as the City hotel and was opened by the Fraziers on Christmas day, 1866, with a big ball and supper. People attended from all over the territory and the crowd was so large that dancing was con- tinued all night as there was no place for the dancers .to sleep, and it was so cold they dared not start home until daylight. Mr. Frazier died in 1874, but Mrs. Frazier still resides in Bozeman. She has lived in or near the city for the past 52 years and the Frazier house where she and her family have conducted a family hotel on. Boze- man avenue north, only a little more than a block from her first hotel, is still her home. Mrs. Frazier states that the beds in the City hotel were all home made pine beds, as were the dining room tables and the benches that were used mainly instead of chairs. John M. Bozeman, for whom the city was named, and who assisted in starting this hotel, was a cousin of Mrs. Frazier, and he was killed by Indians in 1867. His remains are in- terred in the Bozeman cemetery. Holds Rights in Jail. The interior department has ren- dered a decision in a case from Havre that a homesteader does not forfeit his entry and it cannot be cancelled when he is convicted of a misdemean- or and is held prisoner in a county jail. The young man who is afraid to get his hands dirty will never soil them by counting much filthy lucre of his own. EX -RANCH HAND QUEEN JAIL'S HEIR FR031 MONTANA AND AIINNESOTA F A It M S TO OWNER OF IlAWAIIAN PLANTATION. Twenty years ago a country lad from a Mihnesota farm made his way westward and spent some Iittle time in the state of Montana, employed as a ranch hand. Then returning to his native state he enlisted in 1898 at Le Sueur, Minn., and during thejpan- ish-American war he fought the artillery corps of the U. S. army in the Philippine campaign. Now as the husband of a daughter of the late Queen Lilioukalani, last of the Hawaiian queens, he ! hits come into possession of the estate of the last, of the island's rulers. Such is the rotnance of Luger Belliveau, sol- dier of fortune and former Ameri- can farmer. Belliveau and his wife, formerly Princess Kiluohanalani, whose heart he Ann by saving her from drowning, were named heirs to the estate of $200.000, which constituted the earthly possessions of the last of Hawaii's queens. Included in the es- tate tire plantations and property in a dozen Pacific islands. Hero of Filipino Battles. 'lack in Alinnesota, in St. Paul, Henderson and LeSueur, still live the brothers and sisters of the queen's son-in-law, but they have heard M- ete from him until recently, when news of his inheritance, was sent to the United States. The last time they saw him was just before he went to join the colors and fight in the Orient. In the Philippine he was frequent- ly mentioned for bravery and partic- ipated in many engagements. When the islands were subdued with his regiment he was transferred to Ha- waii, and eaw service throughout the islands. The Princess Kiluohanalani was then living in the Hawaiian capital, where she was known as Mrs. Wil- cox, wife' of the first Hawaiian repre- sentative to the American congress. Belliveau was attracted to her and they were seen together frequently. Saves Life of Princess. One afternoon Mrs. Wilcox went for a dip in the beautiful harbor of Honolulu in company with a large number of other p.Iple. She was enjoying the delightful sensations of surf bathing and wave riding, when suddenly she got beyond her depth. The handsome young American sol- dier went immediately to the rescue and saved her life. The princess appreciated his hero- ism immensely and the two became great friends. When the young man's period of enlistment expired she sent for him and they were married.
