THE COUNTY FAIR

Now that the county fair seems to be assured,
it is up to every citizen of the county to give the
fair board his moral support in making the fair
a success.
There are two purposes to be served by the
fair-educational and entertainment.
Both are important and neither can be empha-
sized t0 the detriment of the other
Galatin county has the products to make the
educational feature one that cannot be beaten, if
equalled, by any show of the kind in the state
But the exhibits alone will not draw the atten-
dance necessary if the gate receipts are to aid
in financing the fair.
The people of Billings have made success OF
the Midland Empire fair by boosting it in season
and out of season and by giving those in charge
their whole-hearted and unqualified support.
The Gallatin county fair can now regain the
place it held in bygOne years, since the state fa
has been at least temporarily abandoned.
The fair is distinctly community enterprise
And with a solid community back of it it canno
help being successful this fall with practically NJ
limit to it's future possibilities.

THE AIR SERVICE SQUABBLE

Now that Gen. Mitchell has completed his tour
of duty as assistant chief of the army air service,
it looks like it's about time for Uncle Sam to
get busy and build himself some planes.
The fact that American airmen have estab-
lished about all the records in sight, means little
if anything unless we utilize the talents and the
material we have to build a real air service.
The air service cranks are as far wrong as
the high-rankng, hidebound military and naval
officers who seek to minimize this new and i'm
portant branch Of the service.
The battleship was declared obsolete by the
torpedoboat cranks When the dynamite boat
''Vesuvius" was launched, the poor old battleship
was again declared useless. Just so it was with
the advent of the submarine and now with the
airplane.
The fact remains, however, that we must have
battleships and we must have land armies.
Airplanes alone cannot patrol the sea lanes and
make them safe for commerce, nor can they Oc-
cupy territory which has been taken from an
enemy. And they must be protected by either
land or naval forces at all times except when
actually in the air.
The air service played an important part in the
last war and it may be vital factor in the next
so it behooves us to get down to business and de-
velop that branch of our defensive forces
The men at the head of our military and naval
establishments are getting along in years. They
are naturally conservative and look askance .upor
any innovation or improvement in fighting equip
ment.
This attitude sent our soldiers into the war with
Spain armed with old-fashioned single-shot, black
powder short-range rifles while the enemy wa
equipped with modern high-powered arms.
It was largely responsible for the fact that W
had no modern field artillery when we broke int
the late .unpleasantness in France.
And unless public opinion demands a chang
in no uncertain terms, the next war will find u
practically defenseless in the air.

LAST OF THE LAND OFFICES
butte Minerl

(BuCCe H1IueTJ
Most citizens of this state were taken by sur
prise Tuesday, when dispatch from Washington
announced that President Coolidge, by executive
order, had discontinued seven land offices in Mon
tana leaving only two in operation one at Great
Falls, and the other at Billings.
1t hardly appears possible that the public dom
ain in Montana has so completely passed into
private ownership as to justify the retention of
only two land offices in this commonwealth
1t is recognized, of course, that within late
years settlers have poured into this state in large
numbers, attracted in part by the increased size
of the homesteads they can take up under recently
enacted laws.
Still, it is thought few Montanans have real
zed if it be true, that there is very little public
land left in this commonwealth.
For the Miners part, it seriously doubts wheth-
er this situation exists, and consequently, it APP
pears premature to abondon so many of these Of
fices.
Those discontinued by the executive order are
located at Glasgow, Havre, Helena, Missoula,
Bozeman, Lewistown and Miles City.
The oldest of these offices is the one which was
first established in Montana in territorial times
if the Miners memory serves it correctly and
that is the Helena one.
For several years in early times it was the only
land office in the territory when later with the
settlement of the Galatin valley and surrounding
country, an office. was located at Bozeman.
Some of the other offices are more modern
and few of them were created through the in.
fluence of Senator Carter, who at one time was
{ commissioner of the general land office in Wash
j ington.
President Coolidge's action in this matter Ger.
tainly comes as a surprise and is another striking
evidence that the old west, as many early Mon
tanans knew it, is rapidly disappearing.
! Yet it is with feelings of regret, even if thes,
institutions have outlived their usefulness, tha
the citizens of this commonwealth will these ok
landmarks disappear.

MONTANA AGRICULTURE
(Fergus Co. Argus)

Agriculture in Montana now Outranks in value
of product any other industry writes E. c. Leedy
in the introduction to a booklet on Montana, "The
Land of independence"
The value of the annual production Of livestock
and crops exceeds that of all other industries
combined and the production per capita compares
favorably with that Of the leading agricultural
states The best evidence of the progress in agri-
culture and the permanence of farming develop
ment in Montana is the fact that in 1928 the
largest tonnage crop in its history was produced,
exceeded in 1924 by still larger tonnage which
marketed at the higher prices being received has
made it also one Of the most profitable crops ever
grown in the state
This fortunate situation coupled with lower land
values economical farming methods and lower tax
and interest charges has restored confidence, to
remarkable and unprecedented degree.
Montana contains the largest area Of undevelop.
ed land to be found in the United States, wher,
successful methods Of cultivation and kind o.
crops to grow have been proved. The land is Low
priced and much of it can be purchased on cas-.
terms The man who is prepared by training an,
experience for farming can find an opportunit.
to match his resources and with intelligence an,
industry in few years may develop comfortabl
and profitable farm home.

FORESEES FORD
STATE INVASION
Mining Man Says Flivver Build
er Wants New Lead Hold
ings i'm Montana

Missoula. Henry Ford is looking to
western Montana and northern Idaho
for his supply of lead and has already
taken a lease on a mine in Idaho, with
a monthly payroll of $4,000, accord
ing to Fred Soular, Thompson Falls
mining man. He also said that Ford
has acquired a $45,00O power site in
Idaho.
"There is no one mine which can
supply the lead which is used daily N
the plant, so Ford will control &
group of lead mines in this district.
At this time the consumption of lead
in the manufacturers plants is about
200 tons daily. 1t was told a few
months ago by Ford representative
that he would operate probably a
group of 10 mines for his lead sup
ply.
"The lead district of Missouri has
been turned down by Ford and the
Oklahoma lead deposits are not at
tracing the manufacturer, who has
come west to seek what he wants"
Mr.. Soular made an automobile trip
from Thompson Falls to Detroit last
year to see Mr.. Ford. He took along
500 pounds Of ore from western Mon
tana. AS result of his conferences
with the Ford people DR.. Charles
Cook of Ann Arbor, Mich, visited the
mining district of the western por-
ton of the state. Following his visit
here, according to Mr.. Soular, th'
Ford interests acquired the lease OF
the "Red Bird" mine and also th'
Idaho power site, which he says il
evidently to furnish power for mining
: operations.

RAILWAY OFFICIALS
: BLAMED FOR WRECK

= WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-R-
Officials of the Denver & Rio Grandc
Western Railroad were criticised
sharply today by the safety Depart
ment Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the ground that their
operating methods were chiefly re-
sponsible for the wrecking on August
20. 1925, near Granite. Colo, in
which two persons we're killed and III
injured.
Failure Of a telegraph operator to
deliver a message properly and "thc
failure of the proper operating Of
ficials TO enforce the rules governing
the handling of train orders" caused
the accident, W. 7. Borland, di-
rector of the bureau Of safety, re-
ported.
1T would be difficult to imagine
more inherently dangerous system
or lack of system, for the opera
ton Of trains under the train order
system of operation than that which
appears to exist on this railroad"
be asserted.
while the immediate cause may he
found to rest with the failure of some
individual occupying comparative
~ minor position, those responsible
for the general condition resulting in
such failure occupy higher positions.
