That the State Fair to be held in
Helena the week of September 18th

biggest in every respect in its history
is no vain boast or idle fancy, and

entertainment crowded into a days
time than they can imagine possible.
The Safe Fair office reports that
the largest number of collective coun-

the fair will be seen on display this
year. The livestock, cattle, swine
and poultry entries have exceeded
all expectations, applications having
been received from the neighboring
states of Idaho, Utah, Washington,
Oregon, the Dakotas and Colorado.
Prizes for the various awards this
year amount to the huge sum of $685.

GRANVILLE STUART'S MONTANA HISTORY
AND "REMINISCENCES TO BE PUBLISHED

All old-timers in Montana will be
interested in the statement that Mrs.
Granville Stuart has completed the
task of preparing the history of the
early days in Montana. Mr.. Stuart
undertook to write the history un-
der a commission from the state, but
died before finishing it. However,
his journals and other papers fur
nished the material for completing
the work.
The pioneer history together with
Granville Stuart's "reminiscences, /"
which will be published next year in
two volumes under private direction
will furnish an authentic and detail
ed account of Montana's early history
written by one of the states best
known pioneers. The latter work is
in the form of an autobiography and
contains an account of the exper-
fences of the pioneer in his trips back
and forth across the plains in the
days when the red man and the buff
falo were the kings of the great west.
Granville Stuart always kept a daily
journal in which he wrote a running
account of his experiences.
Among n of the most valuable
features of the autobiography, as
we'll as the most interesting, are the
pioneers accounts of the phases of
Indian life in Montana and in the
west. During his life in the west
Stuart saw much of the Indians, both
in peace and on the war path, and
came to know the customs and char
acteristics of the red man as did few
of the early pioneers.
In his history of pioneer life in
Montana, Stuart has covered the
growth of Montana from the first
visitation of the white man to the
entrance of Montana into the union
as a full-fledged state in 1889.
The incident which led Granville
Stuart to make his first visit to the
district which later became Montana,
is told by Mrs. Stuart as follows:
"Mr. Stuart was on his way back
to his home in Iowa from a trip
across the plains to California in
1857, when he was stopped by the
Mormon wal which was then raging
in Utah. Brigham Young had all
the roads leading through Utah pa
and it was impossible for Mr..
Stuart to continue his journey in that
direction, so he fell in with a party

in company with three other pros
pectors, discovered gold in Montana
at Gold creek, he was closely iden-
titled with the progress of the dis
trict until it became a territory and
finally a state.
In 1870 Stuart, together with
Judge Andrew j. Davis and Samuel
T. Hauser, at one time governor of
the territory, established the famous
sd H s." ranch near old Fort Ma
ginnis in eastern Montana. 1t was at
that ranch that the late Theodore
Roosevelt and Marquis De Mores
were frequent visitors. In 1894 Mr..
and Mrs. Stuart went to Uruguay
and Paraguay, where Stuart served
for four years as minister from the
United States. Upon their return to
Montana in 1899 they took up their
residence in Butte, where they re-
NAMED until a few years e when
they went to Missoula. For a long
period Stuart was librarian of the
Butte public library. 1t was in this
period that he wrote the history of
the state which Mrs. Stuart has ar
ranged for publication.

The Hobo Mine
BY lanes ].

BY James j. brennan.
Once there was a prospect struck,
AS many were struck before;
Way up in the hills not far fror
town,
The boys they found good ore;
At first twas called the Hynes an
Lynch,
But a change was wrought il
time
A hobo came up there one day
And they called it the Hobo mine
There was Charley Ross and Mullins
too,
John Ullery with the throng;
Whene'er the gang was feeling blue
Kid Hynes would sing a song;
They had no care, no matter where
They'd sleep beneath a pine
And with a cheer they'd drink with
beer
The success of the Hobo mine.
Jolly 81 Daniels and McFadden too,
Tim the crank, who wished to
work;
Walt Darlington, good old Tom Jones,
PARKWAY and Billie Burke;
All theirs were joys, they were good
boys;
They made fun all the time
In the hill they'd bore and get the
ore
Out of the Hobo mine.
Jim Murray and McDermott, they
Were good men with a pan;
Tom Kelly would bow to Louie Howe
And the meat little bit of man.
jim Quinn would laugh and Scotty
That he'd mine with a hook and
line;
Twas whiskey straight they used for
bait,
When they worked at the Hobo
mine.
Pat O'Donnell and my friend Frank
Lynch,
Drank cocktails and gin-fizz
Whene'er there was a carload ship
ped;
Tom Hynes would attend to biz,
Twas covered with silver and the
lead was great;
oh, my, but it was fine;
Pat O'Malley, they say, vas afraid of
his pay
When he worked at the Hobo mine.
Great epicures were the Hobo boys
Such living was never seen;
Their meals were cooked three times
a day,
All by the Hobo Queen;
When any of the gang were on mis-
chief bent,
She was one of the fighting kind;
She didn't give a rap, she'd have a
scrap
With the boys of the Hobo mine.
Now all these boys have had their
day,
Their fame spread far and wide;
Their hearts delight is bonded now,
And they must step aside;
Here's luck to them all where'er they
be,
May that luck be an unbroken line

The Importance of the dairy in
dustry is indicated by the fact that
during the calendar year 1919 ap-
proximately go billion pounds of
milk were produced in the United
States, enough to provide nearly $50
pounds for every man, woman and
child OF practically 2 1-3 pints per
day. On the basis of the average
1919 prices this milk had a cash
value to the producer of more than
$4,000, 600, 600.
Approximately half the milk pro-
duced is used in the production of
various manufactured dairy pro-
ducts.

be, without impiety, supposed to
abide in such as hers. So mild and
gentle; so pure and beautiful, that
earth seemed not her element nor it's
rough creatures her fit companions.
The very intelligence that shone in
her eyes, and stamped upon her noble
head, seemed scarcely of her age,

humor, the thousand lights that play
