A SUCCESSFUL SALE
French Inspection Monday and
Tuesday Gives Satisfaction

Captain CASTOR Ray and Vet
erinarian Castera, representa-
tives of the French government
and Ralph Gil more of Miles City
conducted an inspection of war
horses at Ekalaka Monday and
Tuesday of this week. Til e y
bought 153 head Of horses, pay
ing $115 to $155 a head.
The horsemen all expressed
themselves as being very we'll
satisfied with the sale. There
had been some doubt among local
horsemen as to whether there
was not an element of specula-
ton IN former inspections held
here, but in selling direct to the
French officers this doubt was
removed and those selling horses
felt that they were getting full
prices.
Captain Ray will be in Ekalaka
again on Jul y 26, 27 and 18th,
Monday. Tuesday and Wednes-
day. They want to buy 500 head
at this time and inasmuch as
there were many who did not re-
ceive notice of this weeks sale
in time to get their horses in, it
is believed that the next sale will
be a big one.
The F1ench inspection, togeth
er with other buyers who took
out over a hundred head of hors-
es, has brought into the Ekalaka
country over $25, 600 and to say
that the sale was a good thing
for the town and county is put
ting it mildly.
Great credit is due J.W. Grant,
who managed the sale and who
was largely responsible for its
success. He has put EkaIaka on
the map as a horse market.
