THE Taylor tract is one of the
finest for an aviation field 1 have ever
seen. I am pleased with it. And I am
very much pleased with the spirit of
the Topeka people-and you bet this
includes the North side of that city"
These were the words of ]. G. Mars.
the aviator, as he left Lawrence for
Louisville, KY. last night.
People of Topeka have treated me
fine, and I admire their enterprise. I
especially think well of the Civic club
and the North side people who did so
much TO bring the meet to the avia-
ton fields near their section of the
city" he continued. This is not to
mention the good impression which 1
received Of Topeka's appearance, and
the admiration I have for the citizens
of that part Of Topeka who have shown
so much push and courage when they
had been up against so hard a PROPOSE
ton"

Discuss July 4 Picnic at Civic
Club Tonight.
Appoints Committees on Pro-
gram and Entertainment.
ARE INVITED.
Large Attendance at Celebration
Good AID.
Mars Compliments First Wards
Great Enterprise.

At the meeting of the Civic club to-
night the main topic will be the pic
mic which is proposed to be held at
Garfield park July 4. The celebration
will be under the auspices of the club.
Accordingly it will be largely up to
this body to arrange a good program
for the occasion.
This week E. E. Olinger, secretary of
the club, has been working up the
matter and interesting the North side
position. He reports that all are very
enthusiastic and will likely be united
t. make the affair a success. 1t is the
sentiment that the picpic should not
be limited to First ward people. Ev-
cry one realizes that the occasion, if
a success, viii be a great advertise
ment for the Civic club and the North
side. Therefore a hearty invitation has
been extended for all people in Topeka
and vicinity to attend.
Very likely the park will be crowd
ed that day. The place has been
brought into prominence by the avia-
ton meet last week. From all over the
city and from neighboring towns peo-
pie enjoyed the shade of the park and
the new attractions of the teter-totter,
board swings, etc. Thus, with the pro-
per management it is thought that the
picnic can be made one of the big
events for the North side.
The committee on program, fireworks,
ETC. will likely be appointed at the
meeting tonight
Il am very anxious that a large
crowd be present tonight" said Mr..
Ohngcr today. ITO make the picnic a
success. we must do some hard work,
and get an early start. Thus we
should have the interest and co-opera-
ton of all concerned from the begin

LAND NOW GOING FAST
Records of Miles City Show That Many Filings
Have Been Made During The Past
Twenty Months.

Land homesteaded in twenty
months 1892, 206. Is acres.
Number of filings 30.267
From June 50, 1908, 7.484 filed
upon homesteads.
During the eight months foil
owing June 80, 1909, 10. 73S fill
ings were recorded.
February | to April Is, 1910,
1854 homestead filings were re-
corded.
Land value five years ago aver
age S. an acre; present value,
average $50 an acre.
More actual settlers have filed
upon lands in Montana during
the last six months than in any
other state in the same period.
That this immense rush Of settl-
ers is a movement of bona fide
homeseekers is evidenced by the
fact that only 7 IL PEE cent of
the entries recorded We're desert
land claims. The rest were made
by homesteaders, who obtained
lands adapted to agriculture to
be converted into farms, improv-
ed and made the foundation Of
permanent prosperity.
The settlement has been most
marked in the larger counties OF
the state and the lands taken up
have been tracts ccnsidcrd dry
farming land in the majority Of
cases. Most Of the settlers are
experienced dry farmers who
have tried the system in other
parts Of the country. Most Of
them have SOLD their holdings in
the older farming districts Of
eastern ana middle western states
from $50 to Sl0) O., more an acre
and have entered the new coun-
t'y where land is cheaper and
prospects for rapid development
better.
Numerous towns have sprung
up on the plains of eastern Mon
tana in the last two years and
the great plains district of the
northern half of the state is also
being dotted with thriving young
communities.
What has been done in Montana
will be repeated in other states, :"

these animals can start getting
their animals now and have plen-
ty of time for training. Coed

Crop conditions still looks fav-

still have a show to come out in
good shape. There are however
several places where the crops
will be very light but with anoth-

will make creditable showing.
The hay crop this year will fall
