MONTANA STATE
FAIR BEST YET

The state fair at Helena last week
was by far far the best fair ever held
in the state. The displays were excel
lent in every particular.
The displays from Judith Gap did
not appear to fare very we'll when the
distribution Of premiums was under
way. Meagher county, or we should
say the Smith river valley, carried Off
goodly number of premiums in
grams and other entries.
Those from this section who saw
the exhibits spoke very highly of the
Meagher county displays and espec-
tally Of the showing made by Judith
Gap regardless of the fact that it re-
ceived no premiums. The local
chamber of commerce failed to ap-
point man to accompany the exhib-
1t to Helena and to assist II. 6.
Wright Of White Sulphur to arrange
the display in the Meagher county
booth. Mr.. Wright met with some
trouble in getting the display at all.
1t was sent to n. j. Breitenstein, the
secretary of the fair, and was lost
upon the fair grounds for some time.
Mr.. Wright had to get the chamber OF
commerce to start Il tracer after it.
Next time the Judith Gap display at
the fair will be e cd one and .
man will be sent along to assist the
man appointed by the county COM
missioners, in arranging the products.
The stock shown on the fair grounds
have received some very high COM
! pliments from those in attendance.

from the various counties. The fruit
shown was never equaled before in

HARRY BOULTER
HAS RESIGNED

Harry w. Boulter, who has been
the local agent of the Great Northern
railway company in this city for the |
past five years, with the exception of
4 few days vacation on several occa-
sions, has sent in his resignation to
the company to take effect not later
than the tenth of October.
He has decided to remove with his
family to Bozeman where he will en-
ter into partnership with his wife's
father, Carl Bibber, in the dairy busi-
ness. Ever since Mr.. Boulter has
been in the city he has been more or
less interested in the dairy industry
aud has made it pay we'll, although he
has always handled it on a small
scale. Mr.. Bibber is breeder of
full. blooded cattle. principally the
Jersey strain.
The business men of Judith Gap,
who have had business dealings with
Mr.. Boulter will miss him great
deal. lie has always been OH the
job and ever anxious to accommodate
the public with his prompt and etii
cient service. Business was business
with him all the time. His duty to
the q. N. was always paramount, but
no nan suffered form the manner in
which matters were handled, unless
it was Mr.. Boulter himself, and that
from OyerwOrk.
On Tuesday a number of friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Boulter cOngregated at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Peterson for the purpose of surpris-
Jug the Boulters. C. II. Stone was
delegated to get them after the crowd
had gathered. On the pretext that
he wanted Mr.. Peterson and couldn't
get him up. Mr.. Stone persuaded Mr..
Boulter to 70 with him and take him
out OF bed bodily. This idea appealed
to Mr.. Boulter and the way lie DASH
ed into the Peterson home was some.
thing scandalous. He was in his
shirt sleeves and all ready fora rough
and tumble with Pete, but his amaze
anent cannot possibly be imagined
when he saw such gathering of his
friends. He was literally thunder
struck and sidled out the door rs
meekly as lamb and the thought
that a surprise party WAS given in
honor of him and his wife did not oc-
cur to him for some moments after.
Mrs. Boulter was very nearly as
much taken back rs her husband,
but then it was easier for her in view
of the fact that she did not enter her
neighbors home to start rough
house.
One of the most enjoyable evenings
was spent by all those present. The
entire gathering presented MIR. and
Mrs. Boulter with Il chatting dish, al
excellent token of the esteem il
winch they are held. Considerable
speech making was indulged in. On'

suspected angles when they gave to
this territory the designation OF
"The Treasure State" Montana
owes its entity to its great deposits
of placer gold. 1t was Alder gulch
and Last Chance guldh and Confed-
crate gulch which, in the early sixties,
first attracted to this region the hardy
pioneers who gave it territorial
and later brought about the birth of
statehood. During the twenty years
which follow ed the discovery of gold,
over $500, 200, 900 of the yellow metal
was washed from the creeks and bars
OF this state, and since that time
more than another S1OO.OO0,OOO has
been added to this total. Following
the decline of placer mining, vast de-
posits of silver were developed, and
these yielded, during the twenty-year
period from 1885 to 1905, total OF
over S4OO. .OOO, 600 worth of silver at
market prices. Almost coincident
with the development of the silver in
dustry and continuing with increasing
Importance down to the present day
came the area of copper mining, and
from the opening of the first copper
vein in 1882 down to the close of 1912,
Montana, by virtue Of this industry,
has added over $3.50, COO, 900 to the
wealth Of the world.
In the late eighties we took pre-
mier place fin the production of live
stock. With it's great rolling prairies
extending from the main range Of the
Rocky mountains to the Dakota
boundary, we'll supplied with native
grasses, OH which fed in countless
thousands the buffalo of pioneer days,
and with an ample supply Of water. it
was but natural that this state should
become the home of the greatest herds
| of cattle which have ever been as
| sembed in the northwest. This was
the day of the free and open range,
when the annual fall roundup of the
larger outfits extended over territory
| greater than good sized eastern
| state. Cattle raising developed rap
idly and laid the foundations of some
OF the large fortunes Of this state,
reaching it's height in 1894 when 3O2,-
/ '6a5 head Of beef cattle were. shipped
I to market. The sheep Industry had
attained large proportions at the
same time and early this century
Montana became the banner state fol
sheep, Il distinction which, despite
the agricultural development now il
progress and the consequent curtail
ment of the public range this stat'
still holds. In 1912 our wool prOduc
was $6,S7O,97O, almost million dol
lars more than that of Wyoming
which today holds second place in i'm
pOrtance in the wool and sheep in
dustry.
Montana has thus. ut various tim es
held first place in the production .

MONTANA'S EXECUTIVE WRITES OF
PAST AND FUTURE OF TREASURE STATE

Gov. S. V. Stewart of the State OF
Montana is Il contributor to the Sep
tember number of the Westerner
M a azine, which is published
in Seattle, Wash. The article by
Governor Stewart is entitled 'Look-
iEg to the Future"
The story of Montana's develop
ment in the past ten years is dream
of empire come true; and yet so COM
paratively little has been accomplish
ed that the results of the past can no
more than give slight indication OF
the mighty place the Montana Of the
future will inevitably hold.
Montana is today undergoing
transformation the like of which has
seldom been witnessed in the onward
march Of civilization. Of imperial
proportions and endowed by nature
with apparently illimitable resources
which await only an opportunity to
be utilized, Montana offers to the
world All almost unprecedented spec
tacle of wealth in the making. 1g-
nored during the great western immi-
grafton tides which resulted in the
settlement of the Pacific coast states,
it looked for II while as if MOntana'S
claim to greatness must always rest
on its remarkable mineral resources
and the great herds Of cattle and
sheep that trod its plains. But the
awakening came, and for the past
three or four years Montana has been
the. scene of settlement and develop
ment upon mammoth scale. With
out the noise or excitement sugges-
tive of boom but exemplifying the
sturdy determination and resistless
energy which characteriZes the vigOr-
GUS Anglo-Saxon. Montana is giving
ample evidence of the dawn Of Il new
era which bids fair to make the sue
cesses Of its past pale in insigniti-
canoe.

various forms of substantial wealth.
The state has been first in gold; it
has been first in silver; it has been
first in copper; it has been first III
beef: it has and is first in sheep and
wool; and it is not without reason
that we, its citizens, confidently look
forward to the time, in Il day not far
distant, when our Treasure state will
hold first rank in the production of
cereals, when Montana will become
in fact the bread basket of the world.
In the contention that Montana is
entitled to become the greatest agri-
cultural state of the Union, we are
supported by the best authorities of
the day. Figures furnished by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture conclusively show the fertil-
ity of Montana soil, and this state
can we'll bear comparison with any
other. North Dakota is the banner
wheat producing state of America,
vet All acre OF Montana wheat is
worth more to the farmer than an
acre Of wheat in North Dakota. And
this, despite the fact that owing to
higher freight rates, the farm value
of u bushel OF wheat III Montana is
slightly less than that of II bushel of
wheat in our sister state. Figures
contained in the December supple
ment of the 1912 Crop Reporter show
that an average production of Is bu-
shells per acre and an average price of
80 cents per bushel an acre OF wheat
| in North Dakota was worth S12.42 OH
the farm. On the other hand with an
average production of 24.l bushels
per acre and an average price Of 81
cents per bushel, an acre of wheat
in Montana was worth sl5.42 on the
farm. Illinois is the greatest corn
growing state. Yet according to fig
ures taken from the December Crop
Reporter. al average acre Of corn in

ducer of barley, yet an acre OF barley
