CUSTER CELEBRATION PLANS

On June Is, 1896, it will have
been ~ years since General Custer
and his command perlshed on the
banks of the Little Big Horn. II
was a notable triumph of arms for
the red men, accustomed as they
were to being pushed about When
eve white men wanted gold, lands
or discipline from u first Ameri-
cans. perhaps no battle between
races has evoked as much undying
controversy as the Custer fight
and We may expect that numerous
pertinent points concerning it
will never be satisfactorily ex-
planned.
Although Clusters last stand
meant the determination OF a
fine body of men and a brave
leader bent upon performance Of
duty, we have learned enough IN
the passage of years to recognize
the battle as a conspicuous event
in our national history and there
fore worthy of commemoration. 1t
makes no difference to whom the
victory went. We can find in the
record of the winning of the west
many less worthy occasions for
celebration than the brave but in
effectual stand of Custer and his
men.
The approaching sixtieth ami
versary Of the battle finds the
alert and progressive city of Har-
din already at work on a COM
memorative program. Its citizens
are hoping to bring General PERISH
ing, the grand old man Of the
American army, to Grow Agency
as the principal speaker, as we'll
as the Seventh cavalry to which
Custer and his force yer attach
ed. A great day is in prospect,
with all of the elements that
made the old west picturesque, in
evidence.
Billings as we'll as other COM
munities in Montana and north
ern Wyoming may well display a
working interest in Hardin's cele-
bration plans. There is every
prospect that both states will be
favored by the greatest tourist
patronage in history and the Gus
ter commemorative program will
add an attraction contributing
the fine impression visitors will
carry away and from which all
will derive benefit.-BillingS Ga
zette, April %, 1886.

Texas Exposition
$50 Per Cent Over
Original Size Plan
Chrysler Contract Puts Dallas
Worlds Fair on Top in
Motor Exhibits

DALLAS, Texas-The Texas Cen
t%ennial Exposition today turned the
home stretch toward its June 6 open
ing, two and one-half times larger
than its sponsors originally antici-
pated.
From $40, 600, 900 value, estimated
Worlds Fair of the Southwest, has
grown into a $25, ooO,0 900 affair, the
steel framework of its construction
jobs stretching down mile after mile
of parallel courses.
/ New Building Ordered
With the signing Of the Chrysler
Motor Corporation for a huge display
space the Exposition boasts the lar
gest motor exhibit ever shown at a
Worlds Fair.
Originally the s40O,O 900 Hall Of
Transportation was intended to house
exhibits of both transportation and
petroleum industries.
So large was the space taken by
Chrysler, however, that Exposition Of
fcials were forced to hurriedly realign
their plans and build a separate Hall
of Petroleum. .
Ford. with its own building, General
Motors, with a huge, air-conditioned
auditorium where changing shows of
radio and stage stars will be presented
in one-week engagements throughout
the June 6-Nov. 90 Exposition period,
and Chrysler with an elaborate partic-
ipation in the making. will give Dali
las a record breaking representation
of the motor industry.
Livestock Also Featured
Further, the big fair will boast the
largest livestock show ever assem-
bled.
Other exhibits keep the pace, with
the lily display space at a premium
and officials assured of an exhibit
"sell-out" long before the opening
r, City of Dallas, the State of
Texas and the Federal government
are keeping step with their impor-
tant Exposition building programs.
w. A. Webb, general manager Of
the Exposition who holds an interna-
tional reputation for his railroad con-
struction work, has announced every
building will be completed by the June
6 opening date:
The spirit of the Old West will be
'recreated at every turn.
In a city as metropolitan as any
in the nation, the frontier days will
live again.
Ten-Gallon Hats Epidemic
Ten-gallon hats are blooming on ev-
cry corner. Service stations are garb-
ing their attendants in the cow
puncher's regalia. Department stores
ore clothing their elevator girls in
cowgirl uniforms similar to those of
Exposition Rangerettes. Other stores
are donating the big hats to their
employees with instructions to wear
them on all occasions.
! Even the Exposition police will be
in full Old West attire.
The Texas Rangers will have a camp
on the Exposition Race Track, with
a replica of an old Ranger clubhouse
as their headquarters.
Not a single detail has been over
looked by the Exposition chiefs in
their efforts to make the Southwest's
Worlds Fair the most colorful in
history.
