February Meeting Postponed to March 7th.—The regular February meeting of the Society has been postponed until March 7th to suit guest speakers. It will be held on March 7th, then, at 8:00 p. m. in the Assembly Room of the Sir Alexander Gait Museum. Speakers for the occasion will be Wilbur P. Werner, Cut Bank, Montana, and Pat Sanderson, Sunburst. These men will speak on "Lewis and Clark", famed explorers of the early 19th century. They recommend that members who will be at the meeting read that part of the Lewis and Clark Journals that deals with the period from July 21 to July 26, 1806. This is the period during which Lewis came up Cut Bank Creek to Camp Disappointment and when a fight between Peigans and Lewis' men took place on the Two Medicine Creek. The Journals may be found in the Lethbridge Public Library. (Lewis was looking for the height of land between the Missouri and Saskatchewan River water­ sheds on this trip but didn't come quite far enough north. He describes the Sweetgrass Hills, which he could see clearly from the location. During the fight on the Two Medicines, two young Peigan warriors were killed, the start of a long-lasting enmity between the Americans and the Blackfoot Confederacy. All in all, the story is a south Alberta, as well as a north Montana, one.) The Guest Speakers.—Both speakers are active in a variety of ways in their communities. Pat Sanderson—Was born in Joliet, Montana (near Deer Lodge), in 1907 and worked as a coal miner in that area until 1935. Then he moved to Oilmont, in Toole County, and now resides at Sunburst. He married Mayme Irvine in 1929 and they have three daughters and one son; another daughter died in an accident in 1955. Mr. Sanderson has been very active in community affairs, having served as a member of the Oilmont School Board for 12 years. He is a past chairman of Toole County Democratic Central Committee, past governor of the Shelby Moose Lodge, past president of the Coutts-Sweetgrass Lions Club (the only truly International Lions Club), and chairman of the Salvation Army for the Sunburst area. He is presently serving as Camping and Activities Chairman of the.Nu-ooh-oka District of the Boy Scouts of America, is holder of the Silver Beaver Award in scouting, and is a 21-year scouter veteran. Wilbur P. Werner—Was educated in country schools, at Sacred Heart Academy, University of Omaha, and at Creighton University in Nebraska. In 1937 he hitch-hiked to Montana, stopped at Cut Bank, and has been practicing law there since that date. He has served as County Attorney of Glacier County for the past 7h years; as City Attorney for Cut Bank for 2 years; as City Attorney for the town of Browning for 2 years; and is presently a United States Magistrate. Mr. Werner has served his community outside his profession. He is a Past Exalted Ruler of BPOE 1632 at Cut Bank; Past Grand Knight and District Deputy of the Knights of Columbus; Past District Chairman of Nu-ooh-ska District, Boy Scouts of America and is presently on the North Central Council of Boy Scouts of America and Advancement Chairman for the Nu-ooh-ska District. Mr. Werner is a Vice President of the Montana Historical Society. Mr. Werner is married with five children. He proudly reports eight American grandchildren and three Canadian grandchildren. ******* THE STAFFORD FAMILY /The account that follows was taken mostly from a Golden Jubilee issue of the Lethbridge Herald of July 11th, 1935. At that time there were gathered together by the Old-Timers' Association a collection of photographs and stories of men, women, and families who came to Lethbridge from 1882 to 1885. One of the earliest of these was William Stafford and his family. The subdivision known as Staffordville, now part of the North Side, commemorates him, as does the present Stafford Drive. W. S. Russell, Q. C, and J. C. Peat, both of Lethbridge, are grandsons while Mr. George Watson was connected with the family, his grandmother having been a half-sister of William Stafford. The Stafford ranch home in the riverbottom, remodeled by removal of the upper story, is the home of the Dick Gra^^ family, Mr. Gray being a prominent Lethbridge businessman and operator of Valley Feeders Ltd_^/ William Stafford was the first Mines Superintendant for the North Western Coal and Navigation Company. He opened the Drift Mines at the riverbottom and Nos. 1, 2, and 3 shafts of the Gait Mines. He was bom at Patna, Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1842. His father, an English mining engineer and geologist, had come to Scotland earlier and, being widowed, remarried there. William Stafford was the only son of this union and, after a Scottish education, he followed his father's calling. He married Jane Gibb, who was born in Auchinlech, Ayrshire, Scotland, on December 31st, 1863. Four years later he emigrated to Westville, Nova Scotia, to become manager of coal mines in that area and resided there with his wife and three child­ ren until 1882. In that year William Stafford was engaged by Sir Alexander Gait to come west as the first manager and superintendant of the North Western Coal and Navigation Company. (The westward trip was made with a party consisting of his son, William, and a group of hand- picked associates—miners known to him—over the Whoop-up Trail to Fort Macleod.) Mr. Stafford immediately embarked on a thorough reconnaissance along the Bow, Belly, and Saskatchewan Rivers, eventually selecting a site on the Belly River, at a point then known as The Coal Banks, for the first mine. He began work, tunnelling directly into the face of the seam, at a point now directly under the CPR Bridge._ By December, 1882, coal was being taken from the mine, the beginning of the Gait Coal Co. ^More Important, this activity fixed the eventual location of the City of Lethbridge because miners homes and other businesses were built in the riverbottom area, moving _to the upper level after the building of a narrow gauge railway to Medicine Hat in 1885_^/ Markets were found as far afield as Fort Benton and Medicine Hat with river barges supplying the first transport. In 1883 Mr. Stafford returned to Nova Scotia, bringing back with him to Coal Banks his wife, the remainder of his family, and another group of selected miners. Two additional mines were opened along the river north of tlie original diggings and the family settled at the Coal Banks. In 1894 Mr. Stafford became Inspector of Mines and was succeeded as Mines Superintendant by W. D. L. Hardie. By this time also he had become Interested in ranching and resigned from the company to follow that pursuit. A spacious ranch house, which was to become a community and social centre, was built in the riverbottom north of the present traffic bridge. And to provide accommodation for the increasing number of miners, he purchased and sub-divided as lots for miners houses, the area that became known as Staffordville. Real estate, as well as ranching, occupied much of Mr. Stafford's time after his resignation from the coal company and, at the time of his death on May 12, 1907, he was operating a private coal mine north of Lethbridge near Carmangay. Mr. Stafford was the first chairman of the School Board in Lethbridge in 1886 and was one of the first managers of the First Presbyterian Church in 1885. He is buried in the family plot in Mountain View Cemetery, Lethbridge. Tribute by Rev. John McLean.—"William Stafford was a man of brains and energy, cool, clear­ headed, and sympathetic. He never had an accident from fire damp in any mine he had charge of, and was so careful of the lives and welfare of the miners and their families that he erected a powder magazine a mile from the mine and worked there several times daily for the necessary 'charge', never entrusting that bit of work to anyone lest there might be a mishap and an explosion." As mentioned above, Mrs. Stafford and the remainder of the family came west with Mr. Stafford in 1883. A home was built at 'Coal Banks' for the family, where they resided until 1888, moving to the large house north of the traffic bridge known as the Stafford Ranch. After the death of Mr.

  • Following in Their Footsteps: Creating the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, by Wallace G. Lewis
    WashingtonHistory.org FOLLOWING IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS Creating the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail By Wallace G. Lewis COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2002: Vol. 16, No. 2 In May 1961 conservationist and celebrated political cartoonist for the Des Moines Register, J. N. "Ding" Darling, proposed that the Missouri River be incorporated into "a national outdoor recreation and natural resources ribbon along the historic trail of Lewis and Clark." Gravely ill, Darling knew he would not live to see such a project carried out, but he secured banker and fellow conservationist Sherry Fisher's promise to initiate a campaign for it. Darling, who had briefly served President Franklin D. Roosevelt as chief of the Biological Survey, was famous for his syndicated editorial cartoons promoting wildlife sanctuaries and opposing dam construction, particularly on his beloved Missouri River, and had been a major founder of the National Wildlife Federation. Following his friend's death in February 1962, Sherry Fisher helped form the J. N. "Ding" Darling Foundation, which he steered toward creation of a Lewis and Clark trail corridor that would also provide habitat for wildlife. Encouraged by Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, representatives of the foundation, federal agencies, and the states through which the Lewis and Clark trail passed met in Portland, Oregon, in the fall of 1962 to discuss the Darling proposal. Congress approved a trail plan in principle in 1963, and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation began to study development along a ten-mile corridor for inclusion in a proposed nationwide system of scenic trails. On October 6, 1964, Public Law 88-630 was passed authorizing creation of a Lewis and Clark Trail Commission to promote public understanding of the expedition's historical significance and to review proposals for developing "desirable long-term conservation objectives" and recreation opportunities along its length.

Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.

  • “The Cowlitz Farm on Which the Newly-Married Couple Settled Was a Subsidiary of the Main Headquarters of the Puget Sound Agricultural Company at Nisqually
    “The Cowlitz Farm on which the newly-married couple settled was a subsidiary of the main headquarters of the Puget Sound Agricultural Company at Nisqually. The Company’s sole function was to raise foodstuffs for the Russian American settlement with which the HBC had contracted in 1839 to furnish provisions. Francis Ermatinger’s appointment to the Cowlitz Farm was much like giving him a year’s vacation.” McDonald, p249. Cowlitz farm was on the land of the Cowlitz and Chehalis Indians, and was located between the Columbia River and Puget Sound at the head of the Cowlitz River near the present-day town of Toledo, Lewis County, Washington. Cowlitz was the Puget Sound Agricultural Company’s headquarters for the production of grain, peas and potatoes. There is still farming on the land but no buildings stand from the Hudson’s Bay Company farm. It had nearly 1,000 acres of fenced land (later up to 4,000 acres) and potatoes, wheat, barley, peas and oats were raised there. In 1841, 8,000 bushels of wheat and 4,000 bushels of oats were harvested by the Hudson’s Bay Company farmers. By 1853- 54 the farm was taken over by the Americans. From this farm and also Fort Nisqually’s farm produce was shipped to the Russians in Alaska, to the Spanish in California, to HBC forts and posts in the Northwest, and to the independent kingdom of Hawaii (Sandwich Islands). John Tod, who managed the farm for a short time, remembered: "We had 1,000 acres ploughed, also a fine horse park and large dairy." (Wolfenden, 1954).
