VOLUME EIGHT EASIER TO ENTER BIG WHEAT CONT EST Fields Will. Not Have to be Measur- ed Nor Will Entries Have to be Ac- companied by Affidavits—Mott Farmers will Probably Enter Now. Announcement has been received by Secretary Roth of the Booster& Club and fainters enquiring about the Five Thousattd dollar wheat Prize offered at the Northwestern Products Exposition, that it will not be necessary to have the fields measured by the county surveyors nor the entries accompanied by af- fidavits of county officers' and bank- ers. a This arrangement has; been made by the management because of the trouble it makes the farmers to have their fields measured and to secure the affidavits. A simple en- try blank has been iseue.d by the exposition which can be filled in by the grower and sent with his wheat. In this entry blank the gnawer states size. of his field rend the yield per acre, agreeing that if he wins' il„the prize and upon investigation nalY bf the statements are found to be untrue, he forfeits the prize to the next exhibitor with the high wore and whose statements as to yield 'and acreage are found to be icionrect. Writing to the Booster's Club, the manager of the exposition says , \We de not believe wheat growers, of the west will make statemeats, in these entry blanks which cannot be verified. The original provision, was in- serteid in the rules in response to 'the ,demand of some 0,1 these who •v,iel be called upon to judge the wheat because it would make them less work if affidavits accompanied 'each entry. We are to send a Man out to investigate the state- ments of any grower if there is' a doubt in the minds of the judges lead' this will save a lot of trouble to the farmers.\ H INLAN Under the ndes of the contest the wheat . sampleo, must contain fere bushels and sent prepaid to Will A.

Mabie, the Socialist 1110Milnee foe Congrees, met with a cold resee- itieni here Friday night while akempt- ing to convert the people , of Moore into his way of thinking. He came down here in an auto with others of the same party and while addressling la small crowd in, front of Albright's Store, was interrupted by a stream of 'water coming from the top of the 'building, which was, turned directly upon him, nearly knocking him down. •IThe first deluge diid not however terminate the speaking, as he con- tinued for a, few seconds until soaked again.

EXCURSION RATE OF ONE FARE An excunsion rate of one fare for the round trip from every nailroad station in Montana to Helena and re- turn will be in force on alit railroads in the state during the week of Sep- tember 23 to 28 indlusive, on account of the Montana State Fair. Just what this concession, on the Paint of the railroads means, is better under - 'toad, when it is stated that no other state in the union: has ever been given terms of equal liberality Lot' a similar attraction. In moot of the states' the best that is' elver se- cured is a rake of one and one-third fare for the round trip, and in, many , states there is no concession what- ever. In, North Dakota, for instance, whoever wishes ta attend the State fair must pay full fare both ways, - NUMBER t from whatever point he wishes to go. A mate of one fare for the; round trip in Montana means a m'iavlutg to *elute Fair visitors of stints as high as $18 to $20, for from , eeme see- ' ions of Montana people have ,to ravel 600 miles to reach the capnal city.
