great suit against the Anaconda Copper Company of Butte for smelter 
smoke damages. Among his effects were found many scrap s 0 
photographs taken as evidence in this case. While botanizing through- 
out Montana, he became a personal friend of Prof. Elrod of Montana 
University at Missoula and was invited to teach botany and geography 
at the summer school at Flathead Lake. For three years he spent six 
weeks there during July and August botanizing all over that country, 
including Glacier National Park. The results, “Montana Botany Notes”, 
were published by the university. At Prof. Elrod’s request he devoted 
a year to writing up the Flora of Glacier National Park, illustrating it 
fully with photographs; but the university regents finally refused to pu 
lish it on account of Prof. Jones’ opposition to the Anaconda Copper Co., 
which controlled everything in Montana. In some of his autobiographi- 
cal notes, Prof. Jones says that Prof. Elrod offered to have the university 
honor him with a Ph. D. if he would establish residence at the university 
for at least a month, “but I told him it wasn’t worth the time.”
