BIG LAND SALE
COMING IN AUGUST

1t is announced that the sale
of classified lands on the Flat
head will be held in August.
Register McHaffie of the Mis-
soula land office states that he
has received official notice from
Washington to this effect.
His notice states that parcels
of land classified as agricultural
and grazing land, now unappro-
priated, will be sold to the high
est bidders on August 16 at
Kalispell, and on August % at
Missoula, while tracts classified
as burned, barren or small tim
Der land will be sold to the high
est bidders at Missoula on Au-
gust Is. Circulars. with detailed
information will be provided
within a short time and can be
had at the land office either in
Kalispell or Missoula.
In the neighborhood of 10000
acres will be offered at the Mis-
soula sale and according to the
best information at hand the
land office officials estimate that
1000 prospective purchasers will
attend the sale.
Practically all of the land to
be sold is grazing land, or land
suitable only for that purpose,
and many of the settlers are
anxious to purchase for the
reason that it will give them
some badly needed pasture land.
Further particulars of the sale
will be given as soon as given
out by the Washington officials.

THRILLING AUTO DRIVING
AND EXHIBITION OF FLYING

Missoula, Mont, July 1.-THE
people of Missoula are anxiously
waiting for next Sunday after
noon when DeLloyd Thompson
and Barney Oldfield will put on
their exhibition at the fair
grounds. Everyone in Western
Montana has heard of Barney
1Oldfeld and his sensational work
on the track and there is no
doubt but that many will be at
tracted to the grounds by the
mere mention of his name. How
ever, the real sensation of the
exhibition is undoubtedly the
aviator, DeLloyd Thompson.
This is said without any inten-
ton of detracting in any way
from the Oldfeld part of the
program. Oldfeld is as good a
man with an automobile as any,
but he is unable to "loop the
loop" or do the Thompson
Tumble'' in his machine.
There are few people in this
section who have seen anything
in the aeroplane line except
straight flying. The best thing
about Mr.. Thompson's exhibition
is that he never disappoints. His
contract in Missoula absolutely
specifies that he must ''loop the
loop" and fly upside down or
there is to be no settlement after
the meeting adjourns.
Barney Oldfeld will undoubt-
edly hang up new track record
which will stand for a long time.
He will make several trials
against time and will finish with
a thrilling race against Thomp-
son, who flies around the course
directly above the speeding ma
chine.
The admission price to the
grounds next Sunday afternoon
will be fifty cents with a twenty
five cent charge for reserved
seats. The exhibition will begin
promptly at $3.50. Should the
track be too muddy for Oldfield's
performance, Thompson will
make his flight just the same.
In fulfilling an engagement at
Ell Paso recently Thompson
looped the loop in a sixty-mile-
an-hour gale. This guarantees
that the performance will be held
regardless of weather conditions.

MAGNIFICENT CROP
READY TO HARVEST

A most magnificent crop of
winter wheat is now ready for
the harvest in the Mission val
ley. One can hardly believe that
such a crop could be grown, but
seeing is believing, and on We'd
nesday the Pioneer man had the
pleasure of being convinced that
the stories coming in from the
west Of bumper crops are true
beyond doubt.
Leaving Roman, a drive was
made clear to the river, 13 miles
west of Roman. Every foot of
the way we found splendid fields
of growing grain, but not until
the country west Of the Round
Butte was reached did we see the
real thing in wheat raising.
There we found hundreds of
acres of both spring and winter
wheat that would astonish the
agricultural world. Winter wheat
golden in color, and standing
thick and higher than the fences,
awaits only the reaper to COM
plete the raising of the banner
crop of this valley and probably
of the state of Montana which
means the wheat growing world.
Spring grains are not far behind
and a monster crop is practically
assured.
In ride of 80 miles we saw
more good grain than it was ever
our privilege of seeing before.
Go where you would it was ever
the same, and we can now say
with every assurance that the
farmers of the Mission valley
are about to harvest the largest
and best crop of wheat ever pro-
duced on the same number of
acres in the state of Montana.
How this wonderful crop will
be marketed is now a serious
question and recalls most vividly
the urgent need of railroad facil-
tiles for this valley. That the
management Of the Northern
Pacific has not already built into
this fertile valley is surprising,
and we are wondering how much
longer they will deprive this rich
region Of the transportation
facilities already given less de-
serving and less productive Sec
tions of Montana.
1t is indeed gratifying to know
that the farmers of this valley
are about to harvest so boun-
tiful a crop and especially so
when we are assured of favor
able prices. A new impetus will
be given farming operations;
new settlers will come among us
and a new era of prosperity
carry US on to the further devel-
opment of the most favored val
ley in Montana.
But while we rejoice over the
bountiful crop of 1915, let us not
forget to prepare for next year.
Our present crop has given evil
dence of the worth of winter
grain and from now on every
hour possible should be devoted
TO the preparation and seeding
of ground for an increased acre
age of winter wheat for 1916.
Rejoice while we may, but pre-.
pare for the future.

QUIET FOURTH IN ROMAN
MANY CELEBRATE ELSEWHERE

Sunday and Monday were
quiet days in Roman, practically
everyone going to neighboring
towns or joining camping parties
who spent the days in the noun
tains or at the numerous lakes
in this vicinity.
The Stampede at MissouIa
drew many of our people and
held them until Monday and
Tuesday. Missoula had the
largest crowd in it's history and
those who knew how to enter
tain themselves had a good
time. The wild west part of
their program did not come up
to expectations, especially the
steer .roping and bucking con-
tests. Old time western cattle
men have seen better work
every day in the year on their
own range. The races were
fairly good, but in all contests
the Drumheller's, who staged
the event, drew all the prizes.
The music furnished by the var
ious bands was excellent and lots
of it, while the balloon ascension
and other features put on as free
attractions met with general ap-
proval. Frontier town was as
heavy a frost as might be ex-
pected at any time of the year,
being nothing more than a re-
production of circus side show
with all it's sure thing gratis.
The industrial parade, put on by
the people Of Missoula, was
probably the best thing of its
kind ever seen in the state and
deserved the commendation of
all visitors. Missoula was taxed
to the utmost to care for the
crowd, but everything possible
was done to house and feed the
strangers in the city. 1t was an
orderly crowd and little grating
was reported. Prices were nor
NAL, and generally speaking, all
who attended were satisfied with
the big show, barring the poor
exhibition put on at the fair
grounds as an example or repro
duction of old time cattle days in
Montana.
Probably more residents of
Roman and surrounding country
spent the day at St. Ignatius
than at any other place. These
did not expect much and were
not disappointed. The races
were good and the big Indian
dance was up to standard. St.
Ignatius did all that was ex-
pected and those who spent the
day there returned satisfied.
Several parties spent the day
at the lakes and in the noun
tains, having quiet celebrations
of their own. Crow creek can
yon drew the biggest crowd and
it is estimated that 200 people
celebrated the natal day there.

HANDLING GEESE
IN COLD WEATHER

1t is very simple matter to care
for geese in the winter. All they re-
quire in the way of shelter is a low
shed open on the south that is well
bedded with straw, says the Iowa
Homestead. The bedding should be
Kept changed so that it is not damp.
The shed would need to be little high
er than an ordinary chicken coop.
Breeding geese may have some grain.
but in some localities, notably the
grain belt it seems that farmers can
not keep from overlooking everything
with grain, from fowl to the hogs.
The natural feed for geese is grass and
clover or alfalfa, or silage, if you have
it, is excellent.
Better results are obtained If no
eggs are used until the second year of
the life of goose.
