Washington, D. C., August 27. -- Nearly 9,000 160 -acre farm homes will be drawn by the \lucky ones\ as the result of the throwing open of 1,345.000 acres of land upon the Ft. Peck Indian reservation in northeast- ern Montana next month. This is the last great land drawing Uncle Sam has to offer his .people and one of the greatest in the history of gov, ernment land openings in point of fertility. Government agricultural experts estimate that when this vast stretch of virgin — soil is tilled it will add about 25,000,4100 bushels 'of_ grain annually to tW, production of the United States---enougl: to feed an entire nation. The Interior Departnient is mak- ing extensive preparations to rush a big corps of clerks to Glasgow, Havre and Great Falls, Mont., which are to be the registration points. These land offices will be open Sept. 1 next and the work of filing for this land will then begin. The people will have a chance to continue filing until September 20. The vastness of the area opened to • white settlement is expected to make this one of the most alluring land openings ever presented t the peo- ple inasmuch as their opportunity of 'getting something in the dra&ing will be much better than in any pre- vious land -opening. For instance, when the Couer D'Alene, Flathead Ind Spokane land drawings n ere held last veal a tollt1 of 90,000 filed and (Continued on page 0) MONSTER CROWDS WILL 'FLOCK DAILY TO MONTANA'S STATE NV' AT HELENA, SEPT, 22-21 After searching through the weather bureau reports for the last thirty years the dates of Sept. 22 to 27 were / selected for the 1913 Montana State Fair at Helena as the most suitable days for the big exposition. Statistics prove that a less amount of rain fell between these dates than any other days in September, so if \Old Sol\ will keep his light beaming down on the Prickly Pear valley the crowds this year will surely outnumber those of last year, when the elements acted contrarily and served almost daily showers. That the affairs of the big Nocposition might ram as precisely as clockwork, and that the vast throng ot sight- seers may -be adequately and comfortably handled, arrangements have been made whereby every one can be ac- commodated, whether, in the grandstand, 'at the exhibits, or on any spot on the grounds. According to present arrangements there will not beza dull minute; there will be \something doing\ all the time. Those who will help in the fun are:, The drivers and jockeys; Miss -Blanche Scott, tthe dashing blonde high flying aviptrice; performers of' seven Vaudeville acts, and numurous bands; all of whom will help make the Fair period a veritable \Joy Week\ for th'e prosperous, Montanans. COMMOICIA1 CLUB TO ACCOMMDATE VISITORS During the' State 'Fair, \Sept. 22-27, Inclusive, the Helena, Com/nerds] Club will coed/act a Rooming Bureau to provide rooms for visitors who cannot secure accommodations 'at ho teks, or who prefer to stop at private houses. The Bureau \will be located at the Club Rooms in the Kohrs Fuller avenue, at the Sign of the Red Arrow. All trains will be met by commit- tees fro% the Commercial Clutb, who will give each visitor an Information card, directing him to the club rooms or elsewhere, and give every possible assistance. Every committee man will wear a Red Badge. A free cheek stand for hand bag- - • gage and parcels 'will be conducted Sept. 1.6.19; Valley, wind a. rest room establish& Yellowstone, Sept. 20.

CUSTER BATTLE FIELD NOW WHEAT HELD, Billings .Aug. historic ' Custer battlf fielb,, which a little more than a quarter gf a century ago was the scene of one of the bloodiest Indian battles and massacres,in the history of the west, is now a waving wheat field, and this yettr yielded about 30 bushels of winteri wheat to the. acre.

Montana . has need of some drastic law concerning the manner of pun- ishing prisoners of, the various coun- ties of the state. The measure should empower justices in passing sentence upon the petit criminals, Who are unable to pay the tines imposed, to work on the streets and highways of the town ond county. At this time ,pf the year there are numerousdrunk- en brawls, assaults and thefts by the floating population and as a general rule the class of men who are brought before a justice of the peace !tre as penniless as they are worthless. When they are giii . en a ten to thirty day sentence in the county jail they are given the, best of tbod, clean beds, ete,; they are not compelled to earn , • a single penny for the county or state; they do not pay taxes 1101' do HWY offer a single iota of jut erest to anyone but themselves. Bind the criminal over to the circuit court and we can feed him until he grows tat.. and lazier then when he 'entered th' steel doors of , the jail. When court convenes the rtetiou is invariably set aside for lack Or evidence.' Who pays for _the board and lodging .of thes't men i who are brought 'before the court to answer for their acts? Well, consult the proceedings' of the coun- ty commissioners meet ins and you'll find who pays the hills.
