SECOND ANNUAL FORT PECK IN
DIAN FAIR A SUCCESS

the fair and various amusements.
provided for the entertainment of
the visitors.
That the Annual Fort Peck Indian
fair will become one of eastern Mon
tana's we'll organized and most in
structive and permanent institutions,
is evidenced by the fact that under
the allotment act each Indian on the
reservation, in addition to the graz
ing land is allotted forty acres of irri-
gable land and as there are nineteen
hundred allotments, there will be
seventy-six thousand acres of high
grade tillable land not now in culti-
walton, but upon which as time pro-
crosses, there should be never-fail-

the lake, walks and drives laid out,

there. Lake Bowdoin is easily ac-
cessible, either across country or by
rail and with the development of
Northern Montana a transformation
of this resting place for water fowls

Opera House or Eagles Hall, are to
return for another engagement OF a
week, beginning next Monday night,
October 2nd. Maltaites remember
with pleasure the excellent plays and
the artistic reproduction of them
and will welcome the company on
it's return here. Since playing in
our city they have materially
strengthened the company and now
have eight people beside the charm
ing and talented actress, Ruth Crav-
Ell.
They have played continuously
this summer in eastern Montana and
North Dakota. cities, one engage
ment at Williston was for four weeks,
during which time they had large and
appreciative audiences. AS an evil
dence OF prosperity, Manager Harry
Beck announces the company will
play in a city near the coast for
twenty weeks continuous and they
are now westward bound. Part
OF their success may be attributable
to departure from former prices.
Popular admission prices-25, 35 and

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FARMERS

The rainfall in many parts of Mon
tana and especially in the northern
half Of the state has been unusually
large during August and thus far in
to September. The pastures are as
green as they were in May. In some
places so much rain fell, that plow-
ing sod could not 60 on for four days,
owing to the saturation of the soil.
Unfortunately, the rainfall, which
is in many ways boon to the state,
has done considerable damage to the
grain in the shock, and to the flax
that is lying cut in loose sheaves on
the ground, even in a dry country 1T
is risking too much to leave all the
grain, it may be, for weeks in the
shock, waiting for the machine to
come, unless the machine can be got
quite soon after the grain is cut, the
crop should be stacked. 1t is then
safe.
The rain, however, will do many
times more good than harm if the
farmers willprotit by the opportunity
1t was possible during a recent week S
to SOW an unusually large amount of
winter wheat and with the assurance.
that it will make vigorous growth
the present season. This is so far
a guarantee of a good winter wheat
crop next year. The present autumn
is one of the few seasons in which it
is commendable to SOW winter wheat
in stubble land, and even without
the necessity of discing the land.
But the great opportunity that the
recent rains have brought to Monta-
ma, is, that it has made 1t easily pos
sible to break a large area of land
this fall and in excellent condition,
also at a minimum expenditure of la
Dor. May the opportunity be en-
braced. Every acre that the farmer
can turn over this fall puts him just
that much ahead on the work of next
season, teams have ample feed at
this time and are in good shape for
working, every steam and gasoline
outfit should be kept going so long as
the ground can be plowed thus easily.
even though the land is to be fallowed
next year, it ought to be plowed this
fall providing it can be SO plowed

A letter to The ENTERPRISE from
Poplar, Montana, gives the following
interesting sketch of the Second An
nual Fort Peck Indian Fair which
was brought to a successful close
Saturday night, September 23.
"From every point Of view the fair
of this year far exceeded that of 1910
as would be naturally supposed.
There was more interest manifested
by the Indians in the exhibits, and
a much larger attendance than last
year. The old agency store house
was converted into an adequate ex-
hibit building in which was most
tastefully arranged the sole Indian
exhibits, none other being allowed
to participate.
Agricultural and vegetable prod
ucts, grains and grasses, grown OH
both irrigated and non-irrigated
land, were artistically displayed side
by side in a long row, and but for
the explanatory card attached to
each exhibit showing the method of
growth, it would have been utterly
impossible to distinguish the irri-
gated from the dry land products.
Such wonderful exhibit of Indian
grown products on an Indian reser-
vation fully demonstrated to the ma
ny visitors present that the Indians
of today, with the proper instruction

are receiving here, can grow on this

Bozeman. Montana, Sept. 24.-
) Many students in the high schools OF
the state are not aware, perhaps, Of
the fact that the State Board OF Edu-
cation places high premium on ex-
cellence of scholarship in the accred-
tied high schools. In accordance
with the rules of the State Board Of
Education the student in each ac-
credited high school who leads his
class in grades is entitled to free
scholarship in the Montana State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, for the four years Of his COL
lege course. While the fees charged
at the College are merely nominal as
compared with the actual cost of
materials used in laboratory cour-
ses, yet when these fees are added up
for the four years, the value of the
four-year scholarship in hard cash
amounts to anywhere from seventy
to a hundred and twenty-five dollars,
according to the course chosen. This
is a really large cash prize, for an
excellence in scholarship we'll worth
going after for it's own sake; and for
young person ambitions to get an
education, it is really very consid-
erable percentage of the cost Of
college course. A large number of
the honor students from the MOnta-
ma high schools are now enjoying
free scholarships at the Montana
State College of Agricultural and
Mechanic Arts.

LAKE BOWDOIN WILL BECOME A
NOTED PLEASURE RESORT

Harry Cosner, deputy game war
den, returned Friday from trip to
Havre and Chinook and while gone
did little missionary work for the
Milk River Valley Gun Club, and
was instrumental in enrolling nine
new members. Interest continues to
grow in this new organization, and
from north and south, east and west,
Ex-Mayor Tressler, the secretary Of
the Club, is busy answering inquir-
les and acknowledging remittances
for membership fees. 1t was only
Friday that the president, Harry
Cosner, had letter from Governor
Norris who has recently become a
full t1edged member. Louis W. Hill,
Attorney General Galen, State Game
Warden Aware and others are men,
bers who are interested in the growth
of this sportsman's association and
from time to time will enjoy the
breezes of the lake from the veranda
of the new club house.
The Milk River Valley Gun Club
is a pleasant topic OF conversation to
Harry Cosner and he grows enthusl-
astic in speaking OF it's future and is
firm in the belief that five years
hence, Lake Bowdoin and the land
about it, with the proper develop
ment, will become so attractive and
beautiful and be so we'll known as a
pleasure resort that titled Europeans
will be "hobnobbing with Monta-

May the most be made of the pres

can not plow their stubble land at

the next years crop will be most
