THE QUESTION?
YESOR NO?
Do the Men of Means of the
County Want to Help
Their Little Mite?

DO the people Of Harlowton and
vicinity, all Meagher county for
that matter, actually want a
county fair in Harlowton this
fall! We confess our absolute ina
bility to answer the question. If
we were asked what the people
should want, that is if their own
best interests we're consulted, then
we could readily answer, but in
view of the attitude of most of
our leading citizens, we confess
our inability to comprehend.
County fairs are not an Ameri-
can institution. They date awav
back into the fourteenth and fif-
teenth centuries. In Belgium,
France, England and Ireland they
have been conducting annual
tournaments, carnivals, ETC., ETC.,
whereat premiums were offered
and paid for every product of
human craft. Such institutions,
whether they be called carnivals,
tournaments, fairs or whatever
you are a mind to name, they
must have the mora! and financial
good will of the communities in
which they are conducted, other
wise they fail.
There are a goodly number of
people in this community who
seem to have figured out that our
fair is an institution organized and
conducted by a few leading citi-
zens purely as a money making
proposition. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. A little
more than year ago a few people
in Harlowton met for the purpose
of organizing county fair. After
this meeting petition was circu-
lated among the people asking the
leading citizens to subscribe vari-
Gus amounts for fully paid stock

The officers, directors and mem
bers of the principal committees
of the Meagher County Fair Asso
citation met Saturday, July 9Th, at
3 pm. to complete the organiza
tion for the Second Annual: Coun
ty Fair to be held at Harlowton,
August 22nd, 23rd, oath and Old
Settlers Day, the 25th, 1911.
President William Shumaker pre-
sided. Those present were J. V.
Kelly, H. G. Graves, John H. Gar.
rett, I. s. McQuitty, F. s. Web
ster, w. N. Smith, G. E. Rieff,
II. 9. Hawley, P. S. Olson, J. H.
Whalen and G. L. Hash.
F. S. Webster, one of the county
dads, assured the association that
the entire county board was with
the people of the county, financial
ly and otherwise and would leave
no stone unturned to make the
1911 fair at Harlowton this fall
the very best ever.
He officially notified the associa-
tion that the county had set aside
$4,000 with which to nav nre.
miums on general farm products
raised and grown in Meagher
county, also that the county com
missioners had appointed or ar
ranged that all premiums should
be paid by committee composed
OF the three county commissioners,
the secretary of the fair and Ben
Urner, thereby assuring each and
every exhibitor that check for
his premium will be mailed to him
Immediately upon return of awards
by the different judges.
Secretary Whalen notified the
meeting that all trotting and pac.
ing races had satisfactorily filed
and that in some of the eight har-
ness events, as many as thirteen
entries had been received and that
checks for the initial entrance fees
accompanied each entry. This
absolutely assures Harlowton all
OF the very best horses and best
races to be seen anywhere in
Montana, Idaho or Utah this year
as the horses that race here are
the same as those that make all |
the big meetings in all the large
western cities.
The amusement committee re-
ported that arrangements were
practically closed with the North
western Amusement Association,
travelling carnival company, en-
gagged to make all other fairs in
cluded in the Montana circuit, to
come to Harlowton during the
fair. This aggregation carries shows
OF every nature and description
usually seen with all large carni.
val companies, including first
class band of music. A PROPOSE
tion from Dode Fisk of Wonewoc.

New York, Sept. 27.-The cotton
market opened steady in keeping with
the lower Liverpool cables than due,
with first prices l point lower on
April, but generally to ) points high
er on continuation of yesterdays
late covering and buying for reaa,
ton. The steadier tone of the stock
market was supposed to account for
considerable Wall street buying, but
the South was very heavy seller,
private crop accounts are more favor
able and the market soon weakened
with recent buyers selling out their
purchases on a scale down to net
loss of about 10@11 points, which car
ried the market within or 9 points
of yesterdays low records.
