Mrs. Pasco is Thompson's zandidate for honors :s the state's most note- worthy pioneer mother and her life's history gives evidence that it is a claitn entitled to ome consideration.

In 1853 the Chapels moved to Gard- mer, Ill, where Mary met Arthur Green, whom she later married and by whom she had two children When the Civil war opened, Green enlisted with the Union army. He @ied of fever a few months before the war ended, leaving his wife with two small children. ‘Mrs. Green carried on as she had When her husband was at the front, Operating the farm alone. She plowed with a horse and cow hitched to- gether, cut hay with a scythe, cradled and flailed her grain and performed | other farm work in addition to caring for her home and children. These were hard, lean years Six years after Mr. Green died. his i widow married Thomas Pasco, aj Cornish miner. When Dakota terri- | tory was opened for settlement they came west, scttling on a claim two miles from Thompson on May 19, 1879. After living on their land for 30 years, the Pascos moved to Thomp- son, where Mr. Pasco died in 1915. Mrs, Pasco still lives here with her son Thomas, and trouble.

OF FAMOUS MONDAK Montana-Dakota Border Town Being Stripped of the Last Vestiges of Real Life Helena. Mont., Nov. 4.—(}—Once one of Montana's outstanding cities, a military post, a county seat, a com- munity that numbered its people by the thousand, center of a thriving ‘stock country, old Fort Union. also known as Mondak, slipped back another notch toward the group of Montana's ghost cities. Site of one of the earliest trading posts on the Missouri river, a few miles above its confluence with the Yellowstone, Fort Union was, during the days of the fur trade, prominent in the history of Montana territory. As civilization advanced, tho town, sit- uated on the border line between Montana and North Dakota, became Mondak. To its political location it owed its next claim to fame. When North Dakota went dry, thirsty residents cf the Flickertail state flocked across the Montana border to satisfy their appetites and Mondak, at one time, boasted 16 saloons. When Roosevelt county was created, the larger towns, jealous of each other, failed to mus- ter sufficient votes for county seat and Mondak won the honor. Montana. however, had gone dry and Mondak's income from the liquor trade was cut off. After two years, then to Wolf Point. When the coun- ty officers moved away, most of the Population went with them and stores and schools closed. The Upper Missouri Historical Ex- Prdition, as it passed through the state a few years ago, restored the name of Fort Union to the settle- ment. Then a fire swept the town, destroying most of the buildings. The government declined to reestablish its Postoffice. The railroad discontinued its agency. Now the stockyards, sel- dom used in recent years, are to be {moved and Fort Union seems destined for oblivion, except as a historical landmark.
