SEPTEMBER 20-2l-22

~ 4 meeting OF the Mellette County
Fair Association Monday evening al
the Bank, it was decided to change
the dates of the Fifth Annual Fair, 70
be held at Wood, to September 20, u
and - Owing to the backward sea
son the iirst dates selected by the
Association were entirely too early
and there could have been very little
showing made in the way of agricul-
tural products had the fair been held
ON the dates originally selected
However we now anticipate a fine
di~rlav of agricultural products at
the fifth annual exhibition,
The management this year expects
to have rather unique and distinctive
fair and ask the earnest cooperation
Of every one in the county to make
this fair the success it should be. The
premium list has been approved and
il will be published az soon as pos
siblc. The premiums are practically
the same as those offered last year.
The Association would liked to have
increased the live stock premiums
this year but owing to the fact that
up to this date the County Commits,
sioners OF this county have seen fit TO
take no action on the county aid that
the laws Of this state say they must
give to a properly chartered Fair, the
Association is somewhat crippled,
financially. In Tripp county the
county aided the Fair association to
the extent of better than $500 this
year, and last year they voted $500 to
the association. All other counties
surrounding Mellette have voted
liberal aid to their county fairs.
The Association this yaar has
practically completed arrangements
fox he erection of a mammoth hay
pdldCF, Nbitu VIII NC CODSti uGltQ Oh
our famous salt grass and alfalfa hay,
and in which will be housed the
agricultural exhibit, and in which the
speaking and other attractions will
hold forth. This palace, We believe,
will be one Of the greatest advertising
features the county ever had The
salt grass hay used in its construction
will be sold at public aution during
the fair and the proceeds will so to
those who cut and bale the hay.
We will endeavor TO keep you
posted on the forthcoming fair and
hope to be able to make some impart
ant announcements in the near future

WILL TRANSPORT ORE
 WITH DIRIGIBLE BALLOON

The latest use to which an Alaskan plans putting the aircraft is the car rying copper ore, according to the following item which appeared in a recent issue of the Spokane Chronicle:
 J. M. Nelson, of Mccarthy, Alaska, is in Spokane to contract for the pur- chase of one of the Harvey Campbell aircraft if he finds it will do the work claimed for it. He proposes to use it to carry molybdenite ore from his mine and to carry in supplies. The machine is the flexible dirigible type of flyer.
 This is just what l want" said MT Nelson, "if it has carrying capacity claimed for it at anything like the cost suggested it will do fine. Before agreeing to take one I shall probably return in the spring and see the thing fly, or will send my partner.
 "Our property is 50 miles from Me Carthy, situated at the head of gla- cier where it is difficult to get in and out Such a means of travel would be useful all the year but in winter it would be especially valuable. The Spokane manufacturers say it will be able to carry ton and make the trip of 50 miles in a little more than an hour, at about the cost of running an automobile.
 "Molybden:te is worth about 50 a pound. We have a ledge about feet wide, with 12 inches of pure ore. Our claim is called the Giant
