HISTORY OF MONTANA 769 Mrs. Gowrie relates many interesting remi-niscences of the early days in Havre, for she hasbeen a witness of practically the entire growth anddevelopment of tliis place. When she came herethere were only two houses here, besides three rudelog cabins, and there was but one other white womanhere before her. She has not only been a witnessof the growth of the city, but in a large measureMr. and Mrs. Gowrie helped to make stable thebody politic in the first days, when it was neces-sary that the law abiding people should hold thingswith a firm hand. Every movement for the ad-vancement of the best interests of the people re-ceived their hearty endorsement and support andthey were always arrayed in support of law andorder and morality. Mr. Cowries personal relationswith his fellow men were ever mutually pleasant andagreeable, and he was highly regarded by all, havingbeen easily approached, obliging and straightforwardin all the relations of life.
