The first annual fair of Cascade
county occurred last week, it's term
covering a period of four days. Con-
sidering that it was the first fair its
success was remarkable. The peo-
pie heartily patronized it, both by
offering the various displays, and by
yielding up their personal presence.
The attractions were numerous and
the crowds in attendance each day
spoke in hattering terms of the popu-
larity Of the new enterprise.
The music at the fair ground was
inspiring, being supplied by three of
the leading bands of Montana. The
Great Northern band Of thirty-nine
instruments, is the largest band in
northwest The Black Eagle band
boasts superior training and an envi-
able reputation. The Fort Shaw
Indian band is especially interesting
because it contains no white men
except the leader. These trained
red boys make good music and do
themselves proud in the art that
sways hearts, melts cabbages and
paralyzes the eternal rocks.
The agricultural display of Cas-
cade county exceeded ones expecta-
tions. Both cereals and root crops
were amazingly in evidence. Wheat,
oats, rye and barley were prime.
That harvested near Kibbey stood
among the best. Potatoes, beets,
turnips, carrots, parsnips and onions
were simply immense, the largest
we have ever seen.
OF apples there was one display,
having been grown near Cascade.
But the fruit interests of the county
are not we'll developed.
The live stock display, was only
partially complete, as many grade
and strain of every kind of stock
was absent from the display. Ed
Peterson, A. Cunningham and John
Sausman of Kibbey each took several
blue ribbons on horses.
