Bozeman, May Z.
There is every prospect hat a county
fair will be held at Bozeman this fall. The
leading spirits of the town and the promi-
nent ranchers of the county are working
to get the project under way. 1t has been
a dozen years since a county fair was
held here and the organization perfected
at that time was allowed to dissolve
without an effort being made to provide
for future meetings. Gallatin county has
more resources to draw from in providing
a county fair with a first-class exhibit
than any other county in the state, or for
that matter in the western country. Fine
live stock Of all kinds is plentiful in the
valley and a number of ranches have
blooded horses and cattle that are Of the
purest blood. Frequently buyers come
from abroad to select breeding stock from
the herds of the valley and they always
express their surprise that the stock here
is SO finely graded. Then there is the pro
duct of the soil. Wheat, barley, oats and
in fact everything in the way of grain

way that opens the eyes of the most san
guine with establishment when they see
it. A county fair would reveal all these
marvels of fertility in a way that would
work untild good to the fame of the Gal
latin valley. .l
Baseball is in full blast in BOzeman.
Saturday Afternoon is the favorite time for
those who are released on that day from
the duties of the school room to gather
n cross bats in a friendly way. Last
Saturday the students of the High school
won a game from the college boys. The
game was called on the college campus
and for a time 1t was about an even
thing, but finally the High school nine
forged ahead and won at a score of 10 to
10. In the western part of town a game
was played between the West Side nine
Inc the East Side nine. The former Or
ganization was led by Captain Harry
Hills and their opponents were under the
command of Captain Lloyd Bailey. The
score at the conclusion of the game, was
"a to IL in favor of the West Side nine.

For the time is as sweet as strained
honey;
But many a bride has found joy re-
strained.
Just by asking the first time for money.
