The State Fair

All railroads operati lg in
Montana are cooperating with
the management of the Mon
tana State Fair and Exposition
to the extent that it will be
possible for anyone living in
any section of the state to visit
Helena during the 1916 fair at
just half the expense that is
required at other times.
While in no other state in
the union are such low rates
enjoYed, the announcement
that all railroads of this state
would reduce their rates one
half for the coming exposition
did not surprise those in charge
of the fair, as the railroad
companies have had the half
fare policy in force for years.
Special trains will run into
Helena from many points in the
state during fair week, in ad-
dition to the ltlllar usin
service, so that it will be con-
venient as well as economical
for every resident of Montana
to visit The Fair that educates." ="
Tickets at the reduced rates
may be had been between
September % and 30th, and will
be good returning until October
End. AS the fair will be held
during the week Of September
25th to 30th, it will be possible
to come from any point in the
state on the cheap tickets in
time for the opening attraction
and there will be plenty of time
to return after the closing
events.

Postal Savings

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the
post office. This is made
possible by an important
amendment to the Postal
Savings Act just approved by
President Wilson. A postal
savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to
1000 upon which interest will
be paid. Formerly $500 was
the maximum amount he could
have to his credit. This en-
largement of postal savings
facilities will be very gratifying
to thousands of depositors who
have already reached the old
$500 limits and are anxious to
entruSt more of their savings
to Uncle Sam. Another feature
of the amendment that will
avoid further embarrassment to
the public and to postal officials
is the doing away with the
limit on the amount that could
accepted from a depositor
monthly. Under the old law
only $10O could be deposited
in a calendar month. The
amendment abolishes this re-
striction. While the Postal
Savings System has already
proved a signal success as is
shown by the fact that more
than half-a-million depositors
have over eighty million dollars
standing to their credit, still ii
has fallen short of meeting the
full demands Of the public

up Saturday night at. police headquar-

and three other men planned to blow
up the Pannonia on the night Of March
3 while she was moored in the North
river.
Hudson admitted he had used a.
motorboat in which dynamite was
stored, but refused to say where the
launch or the explosive could be
found. A trunk, belonging to him was
confiscated at the boarding house in
Hoboken. where ne lived, but informa-
ton as to it's contents was refused.
The plot to destroy the steamship
was abandoned, Hudson said, because
two of the three men he had engaged
as confedcrstos backed out at the final
conference and he decided the task
was too big for two men to tackle.

New Type of Aircraft of
1900 Horsepower

New York, April 2.-In a new aircraft
to be- equipped with six motors of 800
horsepower each, capable of making a
speed of 100 miles an hour carrying six
persons, Rodman Wanamaker will renew
the attempt to fly across the Atlantic
which he abandoned in the summer Of

for service in the European war.
This was announced Saturday night by
Allan r. Hawley, president Of the Aero
Club of America.
No date has been given for the attempt
but it is expected to be made sometime
this summer The designs for the new
craft, which will be named America"

hitherto constructed. Mr.. Wanamaker
says in a letter to Mr.. Hawley. He eX-
plains that it will be especially adapted
for alighting on and arising from rough
seas. The aeroplane when completed will
be tested at the Atlantic coast aeronaut-
ical station at Newport News.
