S. NJ. Wills of Mingusville, Mont, is
on the grounds with 4 year old mare.
Jane Eyre-which shows likelihood of
developing into very speedy t,otter.
She has already done good work this
summer and has a good record. She is
entered for the 2:35 class. Nh. Wills also
has stallion With him. This is bis first
visit to this part Of the state with trot-
ting flesh, he having kept in the Mon
tana circuit. He has ranch on the
Beaver, % miles up from Mingusville,
and is largely interested IN stock raising.
Mingusville, during the past year, has
made rapid development, he says, and is
keeping pace with the country. The
land is all free-few of the stockmen in
the range country have title to the land
on which their cattle feed-and the small
stockman, the sheep raiser, is rapidly
pushing into the range country and
crowding the large stockman out. They
utilize and monopolize the water holes
and places for watering stock and dimln
ish in area the ranges by this means.
The country is enriched, however, by
these small ranchers and Mingusville
shows it in increased prosperity and
larger shipments. Dickinson, n. D., as a
shipping point is not as popular as for
merly with the stockmen, owing to the
settling up Of the country, and many
stockmen who formerly rounded up all
stock in the immediate vicinity of Min
gusv1lle, ship from there, while the bulk
were driven to Dickinson, now reverse
the process and 90 to considerable
trouble to drive to the former place for
loading and shipping.
Oberon Echo: jamestown is bound
to have big far this year: it no doubt
will beat anything OF the kind ever held
in the state. Everybody can 90 as the
fare from Oberon to jamestown and re-
turn will be only $315.
Forty stalls have been erected for the
use of racing stock and soon will be
ready for occupancy.
The Aberdeen state fair began Monday

the leading attractions Is the music, by
the Iowa state band.
NJ. H. Schmitz will .yisat the Aberdeen
fair ID the interests OF the North Dakota
state exhibit, and secure whatever at
fractions can be had.
Az big drawing card as any for the
Fair will he the political speeches. The
republicans are advertising Butterworth
for the 9th, and the independents will
most l,dely have famous speaker to
present their issues. It ls understood
that Chairman Stimmell will endeavor to
secure Donnelly or Owen, or some other
fine speaker. There will be entertain
ments during the evening Of Fair week
