John, you were on the bottom of the pay scale? Relatives? The way they figured in W. Montana was since there were less rocks you got paid $1.00 per hour & lunch or $8.00 per day, whichever was less. But you damn well better make a bunch of holes. E. Montana we made less because we had to pull the rocks out of the holes, room & board because it was 50 miles to town. The ranch there figured since we were young & ate a lot that they were actually paying us $1500 per month. (Tax write off as "casual" labor)
