Industrial Exhibits.
The Industrial exhibit, although not
yet completed, was worthy of in
spection. All the exhibits were we'll
arranged and neatly gotten up.
The International Harvester COM
pany's display afforded the usual
amount of interest to the farmers. The
Missoula Mercantile company can be
well complimented for it's effort in
this line4
Buffalo Joe's collection of genuine
Navajo rugs was by far the most in
teresting Joe Hainebach of Roman
had this exhibit in charge This dis
play is we'll worth examining, as it
has carried off numerous prizes at
the national exhibits in this country
as we'll as abroad.

Amusements.
During the excitement of the races
the fairly large crowd was directed to-
ward the grandstand. This being the
chief amusement of the day, the larg-
est crowd was centered near the track.
The carnival shows and side shows
offered q great deal of entertainment
for many people. Owing to the defi-
cheney of material, several show
booths were not in use for the open
ing day. but will be ready for the
people on Wednesday.

New Buildings.
The Western Montana Fair asso-
well-equipped buildings that are on
the fair grounds at Missoula. Every
one of them is new. Nearly every bit
of space at the grounds has been oc-
crpied.
The large cattle barn is attracting
attention from the stock men, as it IS
probably the most up-to-d date cattle
barn in the west. In the center of
the barn are about 100 stanchions, so
being on each side. These are full of
prize cattle. On the sides are rows
of stalls, 40 on each side, and they
hanging the stalls are to be found
ribbons of the winners.
The large horse barn is built on the
same order as the cattle barn, except
there are no stalls in the center. At
the entrance on the west side are
three box stalls on each side, the re-
mainder of the barn being devoted to
separate stalls numbering about II on
each side. Every stall and box stall
is filled with Percherons, Clydes, Driv-
ers, ponies, Belgians and the ordinary
breeding horse.

noises that he encounters, mingling in
one grand chorus the shrill of the
growing of the roosters and the cluck-
ing of the hens, and of the gobblers.
Directly across the race course are
two racing stables divided into Sec
|tions, where are, kept the race horses
before the races. They. are of the
--latest designs in comfort and conven-
; ience The two large horse barns are
located to the left of these racing
; barns Here are kept the racing
horses at night, as well as all the
equipment and racing carts. The
buildings are very attractive, and are
; on the same order in construction as
hthe stock buildings.
Last but not the least, is the huge
grandstand that stands directly at the
end of the main road from the en-
trance. This is probably the finest
grandstand of all the county fairs in
fthe Treasure state. The building is
about 200 feet long, and SO feet high
at the front. 1t is divided off into
sections, being able to seat a record
breaking crowd. The stand is SO con-
strrcted that in case of fire, the oc-
cupants can easily be disposed of
without any loss of life. Beneath the
stand are booths used for various ex-
hibits, the betting circle, and in the
inclosure below are located the offices
: of the fair officials and women's rest
room. Taken in all, the buildings at
the Western Montana county fair, are
