DuflnS Jne past week The Meagner
County Fair Association has been fully
organized and incorporated under the
laws OF the State of Montana with a
capital stock of $4,000. The track
has been surveyed and the officers Of
the association instructed to ask for
bids for grading the track and the
construction of all buildings. Several
car loads of lumber have been ordered
and work will be commenced on the
grounds at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Over $4,000 stock has already
been subscribed, to be paid at the rate
Of 10 per cent per month.
Owing to the lateness in the season
the Directors were somewhat timid
about announcing the First Annual
Fair and in consequence it was de-
cided to employ one of the largest
travelling Carnival Companies during
the week commencing September 18th
also to hold the Farmers Institute
Dry Land Congress at the same time.
Committees were appointed to can
vass the entire county and solicit
from every farmer and rancher an
exhibit of some kind from the field
and garden. The committees are
Of live, Wide-aWake business
men of the community, hence no
stone will be lett unturned to collect
and bring together under mammoth
canvass to be provided for that pur-
pose, everything raised and grown up
on Montana farm or ranch.
A premium list will Immediately be
provided offering liberal rewards for
every product exhibited.
The County Commissioners will
also be petitioned at their next meet
ing to donate at least $500, every dol
lar of which will be used by the AS
sociation in paying premiums on farm
products, including all kinds of grains
grasses, vegetables, live stock, poul-
try, fruits, etc.
