Eastern Monsana District Fair.

We received call on Monday evening from Mr..
i Philip Thorpe and Mr. OK ID Thomas, Of Hamilton,
directors or the Eastern Montana Fair Association
who visited town and section Of the county for
the purpose of encouraging citizens in the pur
chase Of stock in the Association, which purposes
to hold the first fair at Gallatin City, the last Of
October next We were gratifsd to learn that
these gentlemen highly successful in disposing
Of stock to considerable amount. which, taken In
connection with the amount subscribed in other
portions OF this county, as we'll as in Jefferson,
Meagher and Madison, places the success of the
| fair beyond questionable doubt. The stock il IL
sued Iii shares Of s25 each, ATTY per cent. Of the
xmount being required or purchasers at the time of
subscribing.
We are informed that lumber for the erection Of
suitable buildings has been contracted, grounds
located and surveyed, unquestionably the most
beautiful in the Territory, and every arrangement
made to have everything should be by TIL last of
October. The race track at GalIatin City, connect
ed with the fair ground, celebrated being the
finest in the Territory, Will be materially improved
and put in fine condition. The display Of blooded
stock, Of which that section abounds, will be un-
eanaied by any previous fair in Montana; and our
vegetable and grain productions stand pre-emnent
for excellent quality and abundant quantity.
The people ofGallitin City deserve encouragement
for the enterprise manifested in undertaking
which will rebound alike to the good OF every por-
tion of the county a1d district
The keynote to progress and development lies in
such enterprises as this fair Theswonderful re-
scources Of our signally favored country, il con-
fined to the limits of intermediate neishborhoods,
will never attract the attention of those beyond our
Territory, and other can be EFFECTIVELY
employed as through the medium OF our fairs. Be-
sides, the laudable competition exhibited gives
stimulus to new energy and enterprise. The inter-
change of ideas in regard to stock raising, expert
ce in cultivation, etc, all tend to improve the
condition OF things, saving time, labor and expense.
Too much enthusiasm cannat be displayed in this
matter, and We hope to see every man and woman
1--WE all inteiested) not only aid this enterprise
hut bring something to the fair for exhibition.

BANNAcK INDIANS The whole tribe Of Bannack
indians, numbering we should judge 10y the length
OF time required in passing through town, about
thousand thief Tendoy in command arrived in
Bozemun on Sunday, and encamped near
town. Their dnsky forms, some gaiy bedecked
with red hannels, red blankets and numerous other
fancy trapping, while occasionally could be seen
stolld old squaw with three or four of her progeny
all mounted upon one dilapidated kiyus, presented
quite grotesqne appearance passing through our
streets, They had considerable loose stock, and,
as general thing. it looked well. From the num-
her OF papooses ami young ones belonging TO the
TRIBE, we imagine the Bannxcks are considerably
on the increa e. In a few days they will proceed
10 the Yellowstone and Snake river regions where
they will spend the winter hunting

COOP PLACE TO WINTgR.-No other place in
the Territory presents as many inducements as
Bozeman for fiie miner to spend the winter. Being
the most desirable place in The Territory to live it
possesses another essential attracon--it is the
cheapest BY reference to our market report it will
be seen that groceries can be bought cheap as Mt
Helena; while meats, vegetables and wood are much
cheaper. To the overEorked miner who wants to
put in quiet winter in cheap manner, say come
to Bozeman; and to him who wishes agreeable So
cirty andto his lot among sociable, h. able
people, we say come to Bozeman.
