STATE LANDS ARE LEASED.
Nearly Ninety Thousand Acres
Under the Hammer--NO Sales.

Joseph Oker of the state lard board
last Wednesday afternoon re- leased
80 o60 acres of state land situated in
Fergus county. There We're a large
number Of ranchers and stocknrn in
the city to renew their leases or to se-
cure leases on new land. Although the
land was offered for SALE none of it
was disposed Of
The renewal of the leases was at
times rather exciting. Never before
on such occasions has the COMPETE
tion been so spirited, and owing to
this competition, the state will receive
much higher rentals for a large ror-
.ton of the land for the next two years.
The Bower Bros. particularly, had to
raise their bids several hundred dol
lars in order to retain the lease OF
some desirable tracts. There was al
so some lively biding by the repre-
sentative of Thomas Cruise and
M. McCauey for some good land or
Flatwillow The annual rental vii
amount to something over $4,000.

Two Wrecks in One Week.

The Montana r. r. company has
been experiencing some hald luck
during the last week. Last Wednes-
day morning the out going train was
ditched about three miles the other
side of Moore. The wreck was caused
by the rails spreading. Eight cars
went into the ditch and several of
them We're pretty badly smashed up.
The passenger car was not pulled from
the rails although the passengers
were slightly shaken up. No one was
injured in the least. The damage done
by this smashup was about $4,000.
Friday another train got off the track
down in the canyon and was delayed
until midnight. Altogether the traits
have been from one to six hours late
| for the past week but.the company is
| getting the wreck cleared up and Will
be running on scheduled time again
very shortly Recent rains which
have left the road bed very soft have
been the cause of the series of mis-.
| haps.

ENTERTAINMENT AT STRAW.
Ice Cream Festival Held at Coming
Railroad Center of FERGUS.

A very interesting program was
the evening of July 18th for the bene-
fit of the school district. A large del
egation of visitors We're in attendance
from Utica, Garneill and Moore, many
of whom assisted in the exercises.
Following the program was to have
been a strawberry and ice cream festi-
val but on account of not being able
to secure the berries, ice cream and
cake We're served to all present. Our
visiting sheap shearers are receiving
great praise for their financial and So
great success
The entertainment and festival net
ted the school district $40 which, add
ed to the proceeds of former entertain
ments, gives us fund of $3.50 which
will be used in furnishing the school
house.
Following are some of the principal
features of the program rendered:
Several selections from an orchestra
Libby, Phillips and Schneider. All of
these selections We're heartily encor-
ed. Verna Westburg, Glennie Spoon,
Ella Gregory, Ethel Woods, Mrs.
| Phillips and Mrs. Gordon recited in a
| manner most pleasing to all. Violin
| solos were given by Walter Phillips,
accompanied on the organ by Bessie
Phillips, and by Ole Erickson ac-
eompanied by Walter Elliott of Gar
neill. These solos We're excellently
rendered and all received most en-
thusiastic applause. A mandolin solo
| by Walter Phillips, accompanied by
| his sister Bessie brought the climax
| of enthusiastic approval and they
were compelled to give another selec-
ton which was equally as well receiv-
| ed.
| Vocal solos were rendered by Mrs.
Robert She'll and Maude She'll; Mr..
and Mrs. Hasig of Green and by Mr..
Thomas Rogers and B. F. Gordon, also
| by Mesdames Gordon and She'll. These
vocal numbers proved to be most en-.
tertaining numbers of the program.
There is a growing interest mani
tested in these entertainments a
