NOVEL INNOVATION
IN TRACTOR WORLD

A new style and make Of gaso-
line tractor was un]oaded at Beach
this week by Lowell Bros. and sold
to Feldmen Bros. northwest of
town. The engine is a Buffalo
Pitts make and is three cylin-
der. three wheel affair, 3O-horse
power. Instead Of two it has only
one wheel in front, making it a
very odd looking tractor, but ap-
parently a powerful one. 1t is
driven by three upright cylinders
and sells for $2800. If there is
anything in the gas tractor line
that the Golden Valley hasn't got,
let's hear about it. Over half a
hundred gasoline traction engines
have been sold in the Golden VAL
ley this season-and the season is
only half over. Lowell Bros. have
sold fifteen Hart Parr engines this
year, or about 40 the past two
years, and if they make as good a
record with the Buffalo Pitts
three-wheeler there will be just
that many more gas tractors tear
ing up the sod in the Golden VAL
ley.

Leasing Shool Lands at Medora
Make Another Record for the
Golden Valley Country

The Golden Valley has establish

kota. This time it is in the'price

The school lands for Billings
county were leased at Medora last
Tuesday and the hay permit on one
quarter brought $2l6, which is the
record price paid in North Dakota

Ernest Johnson is the man who
bought the lease and it covered
the southwest quarter of section
36, 141, 105. He also leased the
northwest and southeast quarters
of the same section, paying $126
and $165, while the northeast was
leased to Oscar Lingk.
Considering that this lease only
covers the use of the land for hay
and grazing. it is a pretty high
figure. But when it comes to
making records the Golden Valley
is always at the front.

Commercial
Club Meeting
At an Enthusiastic Meeting it Was
Decided TO Celebrate Fourth at
Beach, Irregular Band Concerts

The Commercial club meeting
last Monday evening, although
not very we'll attended, was an
enthusiastic one and important
topics were discussed. The prop
ositiona to have the Beach band
give weekly concerts was set in
motion and $38 was subscribed
toward the fund by the members
present.
1t was also unanimously decided
that we should celebrate the
Fourth at Beach and a committee
was appointed to act jointly with
the Baseball Association and the
Fair Association to arrange a
program that would not conflict
with one another. The members
adjourned to the council meeting,
which was in session. and a joint
discussion on the waterworks
proposition followed. This will
be brought to an issue soon and
some plan will be adopted whereby
the city will get waterworks.

BAND CONCERT

The band concert and dance
given last Friday evening by the
band boys was a success as far as
the program was concerned, but
the attendance was not what il
should be by any means. The
dance crowd was fairly good and
the boys realized something over
$100. Ross Zol|inger acted as
leader during the concert and
much credit is due him for the
manner in which the program was
rendered. The male quartette
made a decided hit. in fact the
whole program was splendid and
would be a credit to any large
city. The Beach band is one Of
the best in the state, without
question. and it is regretted that
the boys were not given better
patronage. However, subscrip.
tion was circulated around town
this week and 500 per month
will be raised for the band to give
open-air concerts during the sum.

Custer County
Division Question
Carlyle People are Not Enthusiastic
Over Bakers Proposition to
Split Custer County

To the Miles City Independent,
from Carlyle, Mont. The county
division game as being played
has more intricacies than would
appear on the surface, and unless
present signs fail Some interest,"
ing and amusing details will be
brought to light. 1t appears to
be a clear case of "double cross"
all around. with the Bakerites as
the star actors. The people of
this burg were inclined to the be-
lief at first that it would be a
real good thing to get into the
game, with Baker as the seat of
government of the proposed new
county, but down here we have
got over it,. We have come out
of the trance and have, at last
come to the conclusion that we
were chasing a delusion and a
snare.
Baker, Ismay and Ekalaka are
now in for it and it will be
amusement for the people of Car
lyle to watch their maneuvers.
That they will be unable to agree
is now a foregone conclusion, as
all of the places alc anxious for
the county seat. If there could
be three county seats, then we
could see where matters could
be amicably adjusted, but under
the circumstances it appears to us
that it is a case of loves labor
lost.
A remonstrance petition is now
in circulation. and is being quite
generally signed throughout the
proposed new county. 1t is un-
derstood that it will he presented
shortly after the petition for the
new county, is presented by the
Bakerites.
| Commissioner W.. A. Cameron
was here some days ago and went
over the country roads. and the
people here received the assur-
ance that we would be given
much consideration this year,
which news was received with a
great deal Of satisfaction by the
farmers of this section. With
good road facilities the people of
Carlyle will not be so anxious to
join the crusade for the new
county seat at Baker.
The outlook for good crops in
this section this year are fine.
The acreage is larger than ever
and we have had some moisture.
On the whole the outlook for the
future of the Carlyle country is
assuring.
