FERGUS COMMISSION
VOTES TO HOLD FAIR

observation-disclosures county is to
have fair next year.
That was definitely decided at a
conference with the Fair association
when the county commissioners voted
to lease the grounds for a period of
10 years. IF at the end of that time
the rental is all paid, the land auto
matically becomes the property.
The movement to establish an an
nual fair has been backed for some
time by leading farmers of this sec
ton, especially by members of the
Pure Bred Livestock association. The
prizes won by Fergus county at the
state fair have provided an additional
incentive for the farmers of the coun-
ty to display their products at home.
Preliminary arrangements for the
1917 county fair and plans for boost
ing it will be made at once.

AUTOMOBILE USED TO
HAUL THE HAY CROP
CALIFORNIA FARMER USES HIS
MACHINE TO VERY GOOD
ADVANTAGE.

Old Dobbin, through the progress
iveness of the California rancher, has
come into his W on a broader
scale in this state than elsewhere in
the country, according to the best
available data. In this great common
wealth much of the work done on the
ranches, both in the central valleys
and in the mountain counties, which
in the past has been accomplished
chiefly with the horse, is now being
done in the more modern way with the
motor ear.
John R. Leland, a prosperous
rancher of the Santa Cruz mountains,
furnishes a striking example of the
uses to which the rancher puts his
motor car. During the past haying
season Leland hauled all of his hay
from the fields to the stacks, a dis
lance of nearly one mile, with the aid
of his Maxwell touring car. Leland
would load the cut hay on an ordin-
airy hay wagon, then tow the latter
fro mthe field with his car. Leland
has many other uses for his car and
states that he would be absolutely at
a loss without his machine while at
work on the ranch.

SIX COMPANIES PLAN
955,OOO CARS in 1917
WILLY S-OVERLAND 300, 600:
STUDEBAKER 2OO,O 900 AND
CHANDLER 10000.

Announcements are made by three
of the listed motor car companies of
scheduled production during the 1917
calendar year for which factory ar
engagements are now being made:
Willys-Overland Co. plans 100000
cars, against 100000 in 1916; Stude-
baker Corporation plans 12O, 900,
against $4,000 this year; and the
Chandler Motor Car Co. plans 3d.
900, against $4,000 this year.
The above schedules, which follow
previous announcements by other lead
ing manufacturers, indicate that six
OF the largest automobile companies,
the securities of which have been in
troduced in Wall Street, have a sched-
uled output in their 1917 fiscal per-
iods of 955,000 cars, against 6O3, 765
in 1916.
The scheduled output of the above
three companies of close to 1000, 900
ears in their 1917 seasons is within
100000 cars of the country's entire
output in the automobile season end
ed last June, and compares with the
country's output in the year ended
June, 1915, of slightly over 100000
cars.

Falls road, the north and south road
from Monida in Beaverhead county
via Rutte, Helena, Great Falls to
Havre, and the western highway from
Hamilton to Missoula, through the
Flathead, skirting the Flathead Lake,
to Kalispell, thence west to Libby,
and the northwest entrance to the
state. comprising 1000 miles of main
highways. The basis for the location
of these roads is tonnage and through
roads, which connect with like roads
IN the neighboring states.
The program as outlined will if
carefully followed out, give us a well
built system of highways properly
maintained upon the main tonnage
road passing through practically ev-
cry county in the State. This will al
low the local authorities to turn their
attention to the distributing roads,
which under present conditions, get
very scant attention, with the assur-
anee that cheaper transportation ia
cilities will be provided for the mar
keting of our products.

FORD DISTRIBUTION
IS REVOLUTIONIZED
GARAGE OWNERS WILL ACT AS
SELLING AGENTS IN FU-
TURF.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
business done by the Ford company
may be had when it is known that the
census bureau of the federal govern
ment recently announced that the to-
tai registration of all ears in the Unit
ed States for this year was 2,445, 644.
Of this grand total the Ford factory
supplied 533,92l.
Recent extensions to the Ford fac
tory will make it possible to turn out
100000 cars next year.
Montana dealers are showing the
new Ford car. 1t departs from the
standard type in that it has a stream
line hood, a rounded radiator and
crowned tenders.
The method of distribution is to be
changed. State distributors will re-
strict themselves to ~wholesaling, and
owners of garages will act as retail
agents.
Prices are to be considerably re-
duced.

rlson Horse company, to Mrs. Gillian
and Mrs. Al Wright of Townsend.
In those days, which were in the
early eighties, General Harrison, as
chairman of the committee on terri
tories of the United States senate.
was an ardent advocate of the ad-
mission to statehood of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Washington, Idaho and
Montana. When he became president
ne put his signature to laws making
them all states of the Union. General
Potts, who had been governor from
1870, when he was appointed by Pres
ldent Grant, to 1882, was then a mem
Der OF the territorial legislature and a
resident of Helena.
After the death of these two men
the property passed into the hands of
the American Sheep and Land COM
pany Of which Messrs. Cans and
Klein were the principal owners. Sew
en- years ago the Townsend Realty &
Investment company took over the
property.
Lucerne, comprising a tract of
about 400 acres, half a mile east of
mere, was the inspection point last
winter for agents of the French and
!tallan governments who came to
Montana to buy mules and horses.
More than $500 head were fed there
during that season.
AS this is an ideal alfalfa farm nm
der thorough cultivation the new own
ers expect to harvest from 1000 to
1000 tons of alfalfa annually. Half
OF the tract is already in alfalfa and
grain.
