At Biggest Celebration Ever
Held Here.

The Stampede management has ar
ranged for moving pictures of the
events and the people at the big cele
bration in Glasgow, July 3-4-5.

The celebration is going to be big
one anyhow.
The biggest wild west stampede in
the history of Glasgow will be staged.
The committee in charge of the pro-

pains to show the citizens of Valley
county and surrounding territory a
real old time west celebration ming
ling with it the lesson of loyal pa
triotism.
The exercises will be held on the
Valley county spacious fair grounds.

a nicer spot to spend the three days
of recreation and jollification than
these fair grounds. Just fitted for
the needs of the time. The grounds
are being cleaned and put in condi-
tion to afford the greatest degree of
comfort to all who come. Rest rooms,
ice cream parors, baby shows, shoot
ing galleries, fountains of pure nectar
brewed in the hills on tap free to all,
and every device known to human
thought will be added to make things
a success.
If possible an airplane will be Sc
cured to furnish few thrills for those
who love the adventures of the birds

A typical wild west show will be
staged. The old time stampede with
all the old time accessories will fur
nish new zest to the day. These

HOPPER SCARE
MOSTLY BUNK"
County Agent Finds Nothing Alarm
ing in SituatiOn-Damage Done
by GOphers.

The reports forecasting devastation
by grasshopers are unfounded accord
ing to the statement of County Agent
Stebbins, who spent Wednesday in
vestigating reports to his office from
different parts of the county.
Very few fields are infested to the
extent that makes poisoning necessary
and arrangements have been made by
Mr.. Stebbins for bran to mix with the
barrel of poison that he has ordered
and these will be promptly taken care
of. In some cases it was found that
the damage had been done by gophers,
who in warm weather cut down the
grain and suck moisture from the
straw.
Mr.. Stebbins says that there is no
need for alarm, but at the same time
requests that the appearance of grass
hopers be promptly reported to his
office, that the situation can be kept
in control,

VALLEY PARTLY
FLOOD COVERED
Rains and High Water Raise Milk
River to Danger POint-NO
Lives Lost.

Five inches of rain in the 72 hours
ending about noon Monday, combined
with the normal stage of water in the
Missouri river at this season, has
caused floods and near flood condi-
tions, in this portion of the Milk river
valley. While there has been large
monetary loss to the county in the
way of roads and bridges, and to crops
on the lowlands, no loss of life has
been reported in this vicinity.
From the city reservoir on the hill
north of town, a good view of the
valley was obtained, for many miles
both east and west. Tuesday even
ing, at about the hour the waters
began to receed the low lands lying
about five miles west, were covered
with a sheet of water which extend
ed for miles. This is reported to be
mostly hay land but bridges on the
creeks are out and the roads badly
washed in many places. Willow
creek, Buggy creek and other small
streams, emptying into the river in
this territory, had all overflowed their
banks. The view to the east present
ed about the same condition, much
land that was in crops of different
kinds being flooded at varying depths.
The loss as indicated is the heaviest
in the damage that has been done to
roads and bridges, and it will be weeks
before the highways are fully restor-
ed.
In Glasgow the situation was very
tense for the twenty-four hours end
ing Tuesday night. The city's loca-
tion in big bend of the Milk river,
makes part of it very vulnerable to
floods, and many of our people had
vividly recalled conditions during
other floods, in former years, that
were far from quieting the nervous
or reassuring those having property
at stake. Commencing at about two
o'clock Monday the river rose at the
rate of approximately foot an hour
until midnight, when the high banks
were dangerously near to overflowing
a foot or two more would have inun-
dated the lower part of the town near
est the river. AS it was many base
ments held water of different depths
Many intensely anxious people Wis
tied the river during Monday night,
at and near the power house. Little
of the water could be seen, but that
the great unseen force was gradually
creeping towards the danger line could
be felt. The situation seemed ghost
ly and unreal; there was nearness
to an unseen horror; and the Shiny
flood uncoiled its unending, serpentine
length, and swished by into the night

New Census Gives State
SYST Improved Farms

Montana, according to the census of
1920, has 57,577 farms within its bor-
ders. In 1910 there were only 26,214,
an increase of 81, ,463 within 10 years,
seem, the approximate land area of
the state has decreased since 1910 by
44,SO0 acres, according to the census
figures, but this is accounted for by
the statement that that number of
acres have been since that time placed
in reservoirs to supply water for irri-
cation purposes and therefore is not
longer classed as land area.
The total land area of the state as
given by the bureau for 1920 is 93,-
523.84O acres. The total acreage of

There are others available for the

TOURIST TRAVEL HEAVY

There is hardly day passes now
but that from to 25 tourists cars
pass through Glasgow, some travelling
east, and most of them travelling west.
