BOB SHELLS BLOWOUT
will Open His New Hotel On Friday, Septem'
Der 10th, With Grand Banquet and Ball.

Bob She'll, noted throughout this
section Of Montana for the swell EN-
tertainments he has given in Garneill
heretofore. will open his new hotel
there OH Sept. 10th, with grand
banquet and ball. He will endeavor
to make this event excel all other
entertainments given by him. If he
does he will surely have to 60 some.
The Fergus County Democrat of
this week contained the following
concerning the opening:
r. G. She'll, wife and accomplished
daughter, Miss Nettie, were in the
city last Thursday night and attend
ed the Elks' minstrel show. Bob in
forms lis that preparations are now
in progress for the big blowout at
his place on the evening Of September
10th when the new hotel constructed
at a cost of several thousand dollars
to himself and Ole Erickson, will be
formally dedicated with big ban
quet and dance. Dave Hilger and
George Wiedeman of this place, Sam
Small, the Henry Watterson of the
Inland Empire, and other well known
post prandial orators will be present
to lend voice OF eloquence and words
of wit and repartee to the occasion.
Haller's fine I.ewistown orchestra
will furnish the music. Mr.. and Mrs.
She'll and Ole Erickson are all noted
entertainers and the people who as
semble at Garneill on that evening
are assured an occasion which shall
be generous with all the elements of
merriment and good cheer.
We are al! the time urging our read
ers to milk more cows. There is nothing
more sure of lifting the mort gage from
the farm.
There is no doubt but what some
crops are better and more drouth resist
ant than others. Winter rye is by long
odds the best and >urest dry land crop
that can be grown. The first dry land
crops of which we have any record were
grown on the bench lands in the vicin-
ity OF Dry creek in the Gallatin val
ley This discovery was made by cattle
owners who sowed large fields of winter
rye for hay. Some seasons these fields
We're allowed to mature. Cascade co,ln-
ty is the first home of dry land farm
ing in Montana and Paris Gibson is the
father of the undertaking. but while
this i, true and that Senator Gibson
is the chief eNploiter of the movement,
Gallatin for years produced the larg-
est acreage of dry land crops and claims
the credit of first discovery but is in
no sense an advocate or exploiter of the
industry However. Cascade and Gallatin
now both yield the palm of acreage to
the Judith basin, which is unquestion-
ably leading in acreage, having crop
ped 10000 acres this year to winter
wheat.

STATE BANK TO BE ORGANIZED
Eastern Capitalists Join Local Business Men
To Organize Bank In Judith Gap.

ESSteTn NapitallStS JOIN Local business Men
To Organize Bank In Judith Gap.
August Peterson, one of the leading
bankers of North Dakota. was in Ju-
dith Gap last week and made arrange
ments to organize state bank in this
city. Mr.. Peterson was highly graft
fled over the outlook of this section
as a farming community, and unhes-
itatingly stated that he could COM
mand a million dollars for farm loans
in the Judith Gap district. He was
not long in arranging the details of
organization of the Security State
Bank of Judith Gap with capital of
$4,000. Mr.. Peterson will be presi-
dent of the new institution, and II.
l.. Bills, cashier. In about two
weeks the new company will take
over the business of the present bank
ing arrangement with the First Ma
tional Bank of Lewistown and will be
ready to do business.
The farm loaning feature of the
new institution will he a great thing
for this section of Montana. Enough
has been done to demonstrate beyond
a doubt that the Judith Gap district
contains some of the richest agricul-
tural lands in the Northwest. The
only thing needed to develop the
same is money. Mr.. Peterson was
not slow in grasping the situation.
and quickly stepped in to fill the
much needed want. For this he de-
serves the support of all, and his new
institution will prosper from the
start.

HAMBURGER TOLEAD
WILL MAKE FIGHT FOR PETTUS
 COUNTY.
Mobile Senator Spent Sunday In Bes- semer Conferring Over Passage
 of Bill Scheduled This Week i'm Senate.

Senator Max Hamburger. of Mo- bile went up to Bessemer Saturday night to confer with the Bessemer people on the coming fight in the Senate over the passage of the Pettus county amendment. Senator Hambur- ger will take one of the leading parts in the fight. and will make one of the principal speeches in support of the new county.
 The Birmingham people. who have won every fight for twenty years against Bessemer. are much concerned over the situation. The vote in the House and the debate which preceded it astonishej them. They were not expecting the measure to have such strength. nor did they appreciate fully the sentiment of other parts of Ala bama that Birmingham had been selfish in political affairs. This feel ing undoubtedly was behind the one sided vote in favor of the measure.
 The Birmingham people now pro- pose to make their last stand in the Senate. They have the advantage of having Senator Miller and senatorial courtesy against the bill. On the other hand the same sentiment so plainly expressed in the House is also manifest in the Senate, and. while the vote will not be one-sided one way or the other. the Birmingham people are apprehensive. Several prominent Senators will assist Senator Ham burger in the floor fight.
