In addition to the recent auction
sales OF horses conducted by the new.
" organized Glendive Horse Sales
company, and which are known to
have resulted in an aggregate of
$4,000 being left in the county for

The raising of cattle in Dawson

nossed through Glendive from the

the valley to Sidney.
Names of the Visitors.

finn trip of conditions along the en-
tire line of road, were Vice-president

raising business in this section of the
state will agree that as long as such a
great percentage of our land remains
SO peculiarly adapted for grazing pur-
poses. the raising of cattle for the east
ern markets will continue to increase
in volume and consequent wealth
production. And on this account I
would venture to predict that Glen
dive is destined to become one of the
greatest-if not actually the greatest
cattle and horse shipping point in
the entire eastern section of the
state"
Others Who Sold Stock.
Other Dawson county stock raisers
besides Mr.. Dion, who disposed of
their surplus stock to the Minneapolis
buyers were: VIM. McGoughey and
w. A. Adams of Morgan creek and
Fred Wrang of 7-mile who sold 66 head

buyer from Dothan, Alabama, who has
been here since July 1. The horses

Bad Fire in Beasley Block
Nearly $4,000 Damage Done, Started in Lunch
Room, Auto Truck Needed

A fire that for a time assumed dan.
gerous proportions and looked as
though it would surely wipe out the
old Mcintyre hotel as well as the
Jordan and the New Theckla, started
shortly before O'Clock last Friday
morning in the Elgin Lunch room in
the Beasley block, presumably from
the kitchen range in the back room.
Night Officer Warren Miller while
On his rounds. scented the smoke
while in front of the Hotel Jordan
and together with nigbl clerk William
Goldrick, the star Glendive twirler,
investigated the source of the blaze
which was found to be in the rear OF
the Beasley block. At that time, 2
few minutes after three, flames were
pouring through the broken windows
in the kitchen occupied by Mrs. c. N.
Graves of the Elgin Lunch room, and
although the telephone Office was i'm
mediately notified of the conflagrati0n
Mr.. Miller stated that fully eight min
utes elapsed before the fire whistle
was sounded.
BY this time the fire had spread and
when the department arrived on the
scene, which it did in remarkably
short space of time, the entire block
appeared to be doomed. Smoke pour
ed from many parts Of the roof along
the entire block, the firemen being
compelled to cut away several places
in the roof where the flames were sus-
pected Of trying to eat their way
through.
At 4:3O q. m. the fire was complete
ly under control and II Is considered
q wonder by all who saw the blaze
that more damage was not done.

Butte Official Optimistic

Mr.. Merriman, who also accountant
ed the party through this section O.
the state. is reported as stating tha,
the losses from hail and other storms
in Montana have been very light and
will not affect the production of the
state in general. Besides this, he stat
ed that the indications for the biggest
yield per acre in the history of the
state were never before better.
Reports received by the officials
from farming sections along the line
of the Northern Pacific in Montana
are to the effect that the grain is turn
ing and is ripening splendidly and
that already some harvesting is being
done on winter wheat. The hay crop
that was reported injured by the ex-
cessive moisture early in the season
has been saved for the most part and
will be used principally for domestic
consumption.
Warren ]. Buchner, the agent at
this point, met the party upon their
arrival and besides submitting his re-
port personally to Nj. Hannaford,
showed the official the blue prints of
the agricultural exhibit building, for
which the lumber was on the ground
at the time. Mr.. Hannaford was very
well pleased with the idea and said
that it would be productive of.much
good provided it is properly maintain
ed and kept clean and fresh. "If the
exhibits are allowed to become dusty,
time stained and out-of-date," said
Mr.. Hannaford, ''the exhibit will be
worse than useless. and if the build
ing is not kept in apple-pie cleanli
ness, it win become more Of nuis-
ance and a detriment than an advant-
age to the community"

RECORD PRICE PER ACRE

alton being $1O,O50.
Mr. Kinch came to Dawson county
nve years ago last September with
very little money but with unbounded
faltfl in the productiveness Of the land
ana true pioneers confidence in his
ability to draw agricultural wealth
tnerefrom. Together with his wife
and three children he filed on q home
stead in the Burns Creek district the
ensuing years proving to him that his
confid' nee in Dawson county land was
not misplaced.
Being staunch believer in diversi-
fed farming, Mr.. Kinch succeeded in
raising ana disposing of $1,1S4 worth
OF cattle; over $1,000 worth of grain,
all the pigs he needed for his own use.
10 addition to his feed and seed, and
Besides this he spent upwards Of
$1,000 on improvements, which includ-
ed nice house, chicken house, gran
ary and fence completely encircling
the homestead Mr.. Kinch estimates
that during his nearly six years resi-
dence in Dawson county he has clean
ed up nearly $4,000.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Kinch. who is still running his dray
and transfer line, was the originator
and founder of the Merchants Auto
Delivery service in this city, selling
out the business several months ago
to Bert Butler who is conducting it
along the modern and profitable lines
laid out by his predecessor.
