BIG CORN SHOW
AT GREAT FALLS
MORE THAN 10000 EARS TO BE
EXHIBITED ON NOVEMBER
5, g.. AND z
Movement Started by Agricultural
Committee of Commercial Club
Includes Six Counties; to be An
nual Event for North Central Mon
tana,

More than 10000 ears of corr will
be exhibited at the first annual North
Central Montana corn show in Great
Falls, November 5, 6 and Z, accord
ing to F. E. MacSpadden, Cascade
county agricultural agent, who is sec
rotary of the show. Six counties are
participating in the exhibition-Cas-
cade, Chouteau, Teton, Pondera,
Meagher and Judith Basin-and
present indications are that it will
be one of the largest shows of its
kind to be held in the state this year.
The agricultural committee of the
Great Falls Commercial club started
the movement for the North Central
Montana corn show, believing that it
would be the most effective method
of advertising to the world as well as
~impressing upon business men in the
immediate vicinity of the Power city
the tremendous progress made in
corn growing during the last year.
Among the interesting exhibits
which will be seen will be displays
OF llllnOlS n missouri corn, direct
from the corn belt" with which
Montanans may compare the prod
ucts of this state. Another interest
ing display will be several ears of
corn which were grown and matur-
ed on a Cascade county farm located
more than $500 feet above sea level
altitude considered impractical
heretofore for corn culture.
More than $500 will be awarded
in prizes at this show. There will be
awards in each of the following
Best 10 ears of yellow dent;
best 10 ears of white dent; best 10
ears of white capped yellow dent;
10 ears of northwestern dent;
10 ears of yellow flint; best 10
ears of white flint; best 10 ears of
mixed flint and best 10 ears of pop
corn.
In addition there will be awards
IL special classes and three
Awards each in sweepstakes for best
10 ears of dent corn and best 10 ears

Different western cities will within

One of the new giants is now on

around donning war bonnets, col
lecting their war horses, guns and
spears. Shedding their robes and
blankets, stripped to their breech
clout, head dress and moccasins,
Notwithstanding it had in the mean
time commenced showing, it looked
as though there would be some
thing happening in a very short
time. While all this was going on
the three white traders opened
their stock of goods and selecting a
dozen "A Smith & Wesson revolt

as stock for trade, issued them to
those who were armed the poorest.
The pack animals and women
were sent ahead and were not mo-
Tested as it was not the custom of
Indians to bother women and pack
horses in a time such as this one.
AS soon as the pack outfit had
passed over a low divide and out of
sight, Tendoy said to the Crows,
Nov | am going first. Whip my
horses head" at the same time
raising his Winchester at full cock.
With eyes flashing, jaw set and rid
ing erect a full horses length ahead
of the rest of the band who had
followed the example of their lead
er, the Lemhi Indians and their
friends started forward. Tendoy
had ordered the others to stay back
the length of a horse and it was
granted.
All this time the Crows were rid
around the little band brandish-
their arms and yelling like so
many fiends. Occasionally a young
Crow would dash in with his club
whip raised to strike Tendoy's
horse, but each time he was met
by the muzzle of the chiefs rifle
and the blow failed to descend.
Each Crow knew that if the blow
fell that he would be on the route
TO the happy hunting ground in a
second and this knowledge was suf-
to cause the Crow to waver.
The little party moves at a slow
walk, each member with gun cock
ID and in readiness to follow the
of their leader. In this
manner the party rode several hun
1red yards, all the time with the

threats of death. After riding in

Turning his back upon the

The corn yield is estimated by the
same department at 9,002, 600, which
is twice that of any preceding year.
The oats yield is fixed at 23,051,00G;
rye, 1,150,000; apples, $4,000 with
a hay tonnage of 100000 tame and
$4,000 wild. While there is some
dissatisfaction relative to the wheat
prices, the farmers with an estimated
new wealth of $15O,000,000 are in a
far different mood than was the case
a year ago.
at is estimated by the Montana
Development associations statisti-
clan that the individual income from
each farm this year will be $1,000, or
a per capita income of $500 in round
figures for each person on the farm.
When it is considered that the acre
age is considerably smaller than last
year, the greater yield is all the more
gratifying. This is due in large meas
ure to the application of more scien-
tific methods-especially summer
following.
Montana also has developed a re-
markable gas and oil area. Billings,
a city of $1,000, is heated almost ex-
clusively by natural gas, brought in
through pipes with a capacity of H.

the Lemhi Indians under Chief
Tendoy. Their purpose was to
trade with the Indians, then on
their annual buffalo hunt, in what
is now the state of Montana, then
known as "The Buffalo Country"
The traders reached the camp, To-
Gated on the Musselshell river, and
were greeted by the entire tribe. AS
the chief expressed himself, "My
heart has known you for a long
time and we have exchanged pres
ents, but now we meet for the first
time in the land of the Grow Ind
ians and the buffalo,"
The, white men soon pitched their
tepee and became a part of the
camp. trading with the Indians and
joining in with their hunts and
other amusements.
Soon after their arrival the Crow
Indians commenced sending out
runners in the night to drive the
buffalo to a new location and when
the Lemhi Indians would go to the
place where the objects of the chase
had been seen the evening before
the buffalo would be gone. AS a
result much of the day would be
lost in finding another herd or
trailing that one
This put Chief Tendoy in a very
ugly mood and he Decided to take
his band and leave the Crow camp,
which they objected to, because the
feared the Sioux and relied
upon all of the other tribes in camp
for aid in case of battle.
One cold morning, Chief Tendoy
decided to announce his intentions
IF leaving and did SO in a very loud
voice, telling the Crows what he
thought of them and accusing them
trying to starve his people to

His talk was about as follows
