upon by many officers of the road who
viewed the exhibits yesterday. In
winning the cup offered for the best
general display of Montana fruits,
Flathead county has established a
record as Embarrassing country. This
prize was hotly contested for, but the
fact that the Flathead people brought
to this city full car of apples and
had a prominent place in which to
exhibit their products helped much
in winning the coveted honor for
them.
The judges yesterday concluded the
awarding of prizes in classes 3, 4 and
and special prizes offered by J. j..
Hill for crops grown within rs miles
of the Great Northern.
Today the remainder and the more
