STATE FAIR A "HUMMER"

Helena, Sept. 23, 1915.-The thir-
teenth annual Montana State Fair is
under way at Helena this week and
never before in the history of the
city has the capital looked as bright
or has the fair been as pretentious
as it is this year. Monday the gates
swung open under conditions by lar
more favorable than in any previous
year.
Big crops, real prosperity in Mon"
tane and cooperation between the
railroads and the state fair made It
possible for large rcrowds to attend
than during any previous year and at
present it appears as if all past re-
cords will be broken before the week
is finished.
Monday started with some of the
finest running races in the history OF
the fair. Tuesday markell the first
flights of DeLloyd Thompson and tht
first "loop-the-loop" ever given befor'
statewide crowd. The auto racers
sped around the track with an almos
unbelievable speed, which BODIES vel
for establishing some state and worl'
records.
The livestock and grain exhibit
have unparalleled the great display
of the past and men who have attend
ed every state fair since its inception
claim that 1915 will set up a standar
} for the state exposition, which futur
. years may not surpass.

INTEREST IN CONTEST CASE

A contest hearing held before Com
missioner Phelps at Baylor the first
Of the week attracted large num-
ber of witnesses and spectators to
that place. The principals of the case
were Nancy M. Batterton and Cor
nelius F. Kinney, and involved fine
half section of land east Of Avondale.
Miss Batterton claims the land by
reason of priority of residence, while
Kinney claims that his priority of fil-
ing should be recognized, in prefer
ence to the settlement right of Miss
Batterton. Thos. Clifford, Scobey
lawyer, represented Miss Batterton,
while Hill and McKellar of Glasgow
looked after the interests of Kinney.
The case is another one of the
many conflicts growing out of the op-
ening of the state segregation north
east of here, to entry, A point of
law is involved in the case, that will
make the decision of more than ordin-
ary Importance to a great number Of
settlers on the newly opened lands.
The point is whether filing in the
land office without being followed by
actual residence Immediately can de-
feat the right of settler on the
land, who goes on after the first en-
tryman has filed, but before said en-
trvman has established residence!

MONSTER WHEAT CROP

Montana's spring wheat crop this
year will reach 14,740,O00 bushels ac-
cording to estimates of the depart
ment of agriculture. This is more
than double the wheat production of
last year.
Montana wheat is reported in per-
feet condition, and Montana is the
only state whose wheat condition is
rated 100.
The apple crop throughout the west
is below normal this year, but it is
estimated that Montana's yield will
be 1858, 900 bushels which is mater
tally greater than last year. The
condition of Montana apples is 80. In
no other western state are apples
found in as good condition this year

The hospitality and enterprise
shown by the citizens of Glasgow on
the occasion of the visits of the New

has caused much favorable comment
among those who were here at that
time and the officials of the Great
Northern.
A letter received this week by DR.,

follows:
"Sept. 18th, 1915.
My Dear Doctors
The New York and Chicago Bank
ers are passing all kinds of resolu-
tions telling US that their recent trip
over the Great Northern was without
exception the best Of any trip they
had ever undertaken.
I can only feel that the success
of these trips was, in large measure
due to the cooperation and assistance
which we had from our friends along
the line and I personally want to
thank you for helping to make the
stop of these bankers at Glasgow a
pleasant one.
With best wishes,
Yours very truly,

DISCUSS BOND ISSUE
Good Government Club Hears Rea-

Good Government Club Hears Rea-
sons for Enlarging Light Plant
The Good Government Organization
held it's regular bi-monthly meeting in
the Odd Fellows Hall, Saturday af-
ternoon, September 18th, 1915.
The attendance was small but the
meeting was intensely interesting.
Among the guests present, was Mr..
Hughes, who gave an excellent and
comprehensive talk on the propos-
ed new lighting equipment, For the
benefit of those who may wish to vote
October 4th, for or against the bond
issue, the article as prepared and
given by Mr.. Hughes has been sub
mitted by the Good Government Club,
as follows:
"The plans for the work in ques-
tion, call for an oil engine of 225
H. P. capcity, which will include air
compressor, oil tanks, etc. The cleo
trical equipment is composed of 200
X. w. Generator, exeter, switch board
etc.
sour present equipment is compos-
ed of two units of so and 80 XIV
Generators, run by steam engines, and
you will note we intend to more than
double the capacity of the plant.
"The records show the original cost
of the old plant to be $13,500.00 and
So, 3,5OO.O0 was added the first year in
improvements, making the original
cost of the plant for the first year of
$17, 100000. Within the last two years,
the new so K. w. Unit was installed
at cost of $5,O00.O0, and 100000
in the way of new lines, transformers,
etc., making the value of the plant
to date of approximately $25, 100000
The original bond issue was $11 10000
of which 100000 have been taken
up, leaving a debt of 100000 on a
$25, 100000 value of which no account
has been taken of the improvements
made from 1909 to 1918, which how
ever, could be set aside for depreci'
alton.
"a careful estimate Of the cost OF
the Improvement has been made OF tht
actual cost of the equipment Of $21,

paid by bonds and the remainder paie

IMPORTANT DECISION
Relating to Public Lands of Interest
to All M0nfana Honest eaders

Relating to Public Lands of Interest
to All Montana Homesteaders
Enlarged Homestead Settlement
on Unsurveyed Land.-A settler upon
unsurveyed land subsequently desig-
mated under the enlarged homestead
act is, upon the filing of the town.
ship plat of survey, entitled to make
entry of the land embraced in his
settlement claim to the full area of
800 acres permitted by the enlarged
homestead act.
Final Proof-Curing Defects
Where final proof was rejected be-
cause insufficient, but the defect was
afterwards cured and the entryman
acted in good faith, supplemental affi-
davits may be accepted without new
notice of publication.
Homestead Entry-Citizenship-
One who was minor when his father
declared his intention to become a
citizen is qualified as to citizenship
to make homestead entry.
Homestead Entry-Leave of ABB
sence-The provision in the three year
homestead law that an entryman shall
reside upon his entry for practically
seven months each year after the es-
tablishment of residence, does not pre-
vent the allowance of leave of absence
for greater period for proper cause.
Desert Entry-Delay in Reclama-
tion-Extension of Time.-Failure,
after diligent effort, to secure water
by means of an artesian we'll entities
desert entryman to an extension
of time for submitting final proof.
Reclamation Homestead Entry
Water Service Compulsory.-An en-,
tryman of lands within reclamation
project has no option as to whether
he will receive water service from the
project, but is required to take the
same and to pay the charges fixee
therefor.
Coal Observation-Disclosures Be
cause of Prior Entry.-The fact thai
a person once initiated coal claim
upon public land and failed to perfec
it, does not necessarily disqualify hin
under the coal land law; but if i
appears that good reason existed TO
his abandonment of such claim, h
may initiate another claim.
Homestead Application-Death o
Applicant Prior to Allowance.-Wher
an applicant to make homestead en-
! try dies prior to its allowance, hi
! widow or heirs may make the entr
and acquire title by cultivation TO
, the required period without actual re
sidence on the land.
Three Year Homestead-Beginnin

8 required by the three year homestea
, law does not begin until an entryma
}. actually establishes his residence

e visee are superior to those of tt
e heir.
