Bought Flathead Land

There were several from Roman who
attended the land sale at Missoula the
FIRST of the week. The fact that the
land was appraised in some instances
as low as 10 cents per acre attracted a
number, but none were able to secure
any of the tracts at this price. Major
McPhaul, who was in charge of the
sale announced that no one except a
homesteader who owned adjoining land
would be allowed to buy any of the
land at less than $500 per acre and
this ruling discouraged some prospec-
tive buyers. Homesteaders were al
lowed to buy adjoining tracts at 81. so
per acre and large number of them
secured the land they desired at this
price.

Brewer and Mrs. Hollingsworth Sc

man also bought several tracts near

as did also many others mostly home
steaders living in the vicinity of lands
offered for sale.
Some paid handsome prices for some
they bought, as bidding became ami
mated and was run up as high as SIT
per acre.
Those who bought at the minimum
price of $500 per acre are feeling

not lost any money in the bargain and
while the price is low it also will pro-
vide them with good pasturage for

Retrospective View OF
Washington Parish Fair
Since Its Inception.

Any resident of the parish of Wash
ington who has lived within its
borders period of ten to twenty
years can note with wonderment
the transition from long period of
sluggish operations to enlivened en-
ergies and rapid activities. And
with all has been general prosperity
an improvement of conditions and
minimum of impOverishments.
Ten years ago the population of the
parish was less than one half of
what it is now; there was less busi-
ness activity; less railroad traffic;
less money made less good roads to
travel; no telephone system nor
telegraph, except one or two private
lines; no motor vehicles; few labor
saving devices; and less intercom-
muning among the people where
residences were far apart. There
was little competition in trade; little
rivalry in commercial or professional
life; and happiness was limited to
restricted environments beyond
which but few ever expected to
reach. Today things are changed.
We have an elaborate system OF
telephones and telegraph. Our
transportation facilities afford re-
duction in cost aud time in hauling
of freight and passengers. We have
over 500 miles Of graded roadways.

VAN zANDT ELUDES
BOTH SHOES AND RICE
Popular Conductor On y.
o. e.. ", Married TO
Columbia Lady

When j. B. Van Zant, one of the
best known and most popular con-
ductors on the New Orleans Great
Northern took unto himself as part.
ner for life, charming and attrac-
tive young lady Of Columbia, Miss,
he planned two things. One was a
honeymoon trip to New Orleans,
and the other was the best means
to defeat the rice and old shoe bril-
gade known to be entrenched and
ready down near Slidell.
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Zant took the
morning train down from Columbia,
Thursday. but at some convenient
point they left the train, motored
across the country in a friends
automobile and made connection
with the Illinois Central flyer south.
The platform of the station at Sill
dell was piled high with packages
of rice and enough old shoes to
furnish a willing cobbler work for a
month, and all Van Zandt's friends
and fellow workers with broad grins
on their faces were waiting for the
south-bound limited. But just as
the train hove in sight, the station
agent with a disappointed air hand
ed the ringleader of the plot a brief
telegram which had just came in.
The telegram read: Ship the rice
to Lutcher. if you want to catch
U.S. Lutcher is miles away on the
Y. & M. V. and even while the dis.
appointed watchers were listening
to the reading of the message, MI.
and Mrs. Van Zandt were laughing
at them from the safe vantage
point of the observation end of an
Illinois Central Pullman.

The products of the farm have in

that only a few persons acknowledge
the increase. We feed ourselves
and animals; repair our buildings
with products of our forest; clothe
our members with our surplus. We
also maintain thoroughly graded

Gus, if we want prosperity.

ficiences and our eXcellencies. BY
fairs we promote activities and be-
get bettermentS in every direction;
pride on our achievements; COM
pensatiOn for our individual efforts;
general happiness in the abundancy
of our productions: and the inestl-
mable Joy in co-operativeness as is
evidenced by parish fairs.
AS an original idea it was design
ed that the fairs should be free-free
for exhibitors spaces and free for
the visitorS--an idea that initiated
the practice in the South. The plan
proving effective and satisfactory
has been repeated by US annually
and adopted elsewhere.
In 1911 we held our first fair. 1t
was a success in points of exhibits
and attendance-so have been the
subsequent fairs. Our first was held
in a livery stable where tables for
display were hastily and crudely
provided. In 1912 we secured an
option on a small tract of land in
the northern part of town where we
erected a shed divided into stalls
and booths. Again the exhibits
and attendance exceeded expecta-
tons. The ladies, who sought to
expose their handiwork, and the
pupils of the public schools who de-
sired to display their arts, utilized
the court room of the courthouse,
thus enforcing a separation of the
fair proper from the exposition by
about half mile. Next year, 1918,
weather conditions were unfavor-
able but the fair was held on its new
grounds according to schedule and
again results exceeded expectations.
In 1914 an exposition hall 20 it., by
40 it,, was erected, and an end of
the agricultural shed was set apart
for d rest room for women and child
rem.
Interest in the fair grew so that
improved plans for the next fair
were formulated having in purpose
ENGAGEMENTS. So, in 1915, another
building was constructed, to be used
for an exposition hall, comprising a
floor space of about 1900 square
feet. The livestock sheds were
heightened, another building, 50 by
DO feet for the exclusive use Of
thoroughbred livestock, and several
other, but smaller, buildings for
minor purposes we're constructed.
Everybody looked forward with
great expections to a greater fair
and a better assembling And so
they realized, though the very
heavens and earth and the torren-
tial streams varied against the
contamination of our plans. The
greatest storm of record traversed
the state devastating large portions.
Washington parish, being on the
edge of the path of the storm, did
not suffer as much as that portion
lying east of it, yet it suffered. Its
trees, fences and buildings were
wrecked; bridges were damaged:
streams swelled to OVERLOOKING and
crops in the fields we're injured.
Hundreds of persons were prevented
from attending; and the farm ORC.
ducts were less in numbers of ex-
hibits, yet a bigger fair than ever
was held. The attendance doubled
that Of the proceeding year and a
most enjoyable time was had. All
this is recited to show the universal
value of a fair. Benefits accrue to
the farmer, or producer, the live
stock breeder, the craftsman, the
merchants and every other institu-
tion-Drofessional. educational and
vocational Con on,, opo d;cpnto
