SHOW FOR REO°iLOODED MM AH© WOMEN. at m i m m next ween to draw orowds While perhaps it was far traders who first came to Montana it was the stockmen who first made perman ent settlement in the state and start ed the development which has made Montana one of thè premier agri cultural states of the union. It was they who built the first homes in the wilderness and who for the duration of the range business, lived like feu dal barons on their vast estates. Much of the romance and tradition that is Montana’s, much of the glory and not a little of the wealth came as a result of ¡the vast herds which roamed the (prairies and mountain valleys of the Treasure state. In this more prosaic age, when livestock boundaries are fixed by barb wire fences, when farming ra ther than ranching is the pursuit of , our agrarian people, when wheat greens the old bunch grass levels and the big outfits in the state can be counted on the fingers of one’s hands, the cowboy and all that per tained to ranch life in the older, wilder and perhaps freer days, are fast becoming things of the past. It is only at the big roundup festivals, held in a few places in the west, that one can see the most exciting and daring parts of the life that was once universal in this state. There the worst outlaw horses, the best riders, the fastest steers— in fact the best performers at cowboy sport3 in al! the west, gather for the ever popu lar contest of human skill and brain against equine strength and quickness. Truly Western Sport These roundup festivals are thing peculiar to the west and enjoy ed to the fullest extent only by west ern people. If one is so cold blooded as to take no thrill in a spirited con test, if the sight of beautiful horses and graceful riders awakes no atavis tic answer, if the call of the old west gets no response, they have no busi ness at a roundup. But for those of who know and love Montana, who are proud of the state, both as it is today and as it was a generation ago, whose spirit harkens to the thud of running hoofs, the squeal of the bawling mare, the thud of the falling steer) for those who love life and action, daring and skill, the roundup holds an attraction found àt no other sort of festival. And that is what is being offered in Bozeman next week. A national contest for riding and roping honors by cowboys, an example of the best equestrianship the world produces. In the ordinarily quiet town of Boze man, once a center for the vast range country, a little group of business men builded the best amphitheater in the west, an oval that seats 20,000 people. Here, in the shadow of thè mighty Bridger range, in the heart of t o GENUINE the old range country, the premier wild west contest of the world will be held next week, August 3, 4, 5, and 6. No pains have been spared to make this a real championship affair. For weeks skilled riders have been comb ing the ranges seeking the worst out law horses. The tops of Ad Day’s famous Canadian horses are already in Bozeman and another carload of fiery Spanish bred mustangs have already been shipped from southern Arizona for the big show. World famous riders like Yakima Canute, Calgary Red, Hugh Strickland, Hippy Burmeister from California and Lloyd Coleman of Miles City, who won the contest last year, have al ready entered to ride in Bozeman. Famous ropers like Joe Gardner, Fred Beeson and Eddie Burgess are coming with their trained rope horses from southern Texas and lady riders of national reputation, like Ruth Roach, Lorena Trickey, Mabel Hall, Kitte Canute and many more will show that sex is no barrier when it comes to mounting a bad horse. « From the gulf coast of Texas a car of Brahma bucking steers, cross between the sacred cattle of India and the Texas longhorn, are already in Bozeman. These steers are wonderful buckers and danger ous as well, as several narrow es capes of riders last year beat witness. To prevent possible serious accidents the steers’ horns will all be knobbed this year. These steers are faster and more powerful than even the Mexican breed and it is a good rider who can sit one for sixty seconds.

At the present time the issue rests upon the claims of cham pions of the rival powers, the tractor manufacturers holding that machines have shown their superiority and economy, and the backers of horses disputing the claims of the tractor men. But as to the future there is this diference. The horse apparently has been brought to his highest eflclency, while the tractor is yet to be greatly improved. There is being repeated the contest which arose when the first grain reafcer was made. It took years to bring it\o a stage of efficiency that convinced farmers that it was safe to invest money in if. The hand sickle and cradle were In that time regarded the best imple ments for harvesting grain, but it would be hard to find a cradle on a fafm now. A few may be In use for cutting grain In* fence corners, but even this Is Improbable. No such ex tinction is to come In the contest be tween the horse and tractor. The out come rests upon the ability of tractor manufacturers to build machines so well suited to the work the average farmer has to do that It will cease to be a matter of comparison between the horse and tractor, just as in the time of the development of the reaper, the time came when there ceased to be any question as to its superiority oyer the cradle. As to the claims made by cham pions of horses and tractors at the present time, here are some statistics which may be of interest: The total cost of operating a cer tain tractor for one year on a gen eral farm of 160 acres is given at $451.12, and the cost of the farm power for the same period supplied by five horses, which the machine dis placed, was $700. The detailed cost of tractor power was given as follows: Plowing 110 acres, 14 days, 240 gallons of gaso line, at 25 cents, $60; discing 110 acres, 5 days, $21.25; harrowing 110 acres, 2 days, $6; cultivating 70 acres three times, 168 gallops of gasoline, $42; harvesting, $33.25; oil, 30 gal lons at 80 cents per gallon, $24; grease, $2.25; times required, to sup ply gas and oil and care for tractor, one hour per day at 30 cgnts for total operating days, $13.50; Interest on investment of $1,075 at 6 per cent, $64.50; depreciation on machine, al lowing eight years as life of tractor, $134.37; repairs, $50; total, $451.12. The detailed cost of animal power for the same./Work was given as fol lows: > Corn fed five horses, 209 bushels at 50 cents per bushel, $10^.50; oats fed, 228 bushels at 35 cents, $79.80; hay fed, 10 tons at $12 per ton^ $120; straw, five tons at $4 per ton, $30; pasture fed, 140 days,_10 acres at $7.50 per acre, $75; interest on in vestment of five horses at $150 each, $45; average working life of horse, 10 years, amounts to a depreciation of 75; care of horses for year at $27.48 per horse, $137.40 (United States department of agricultural fig ures) ; veterinary and miscellaneous cost, $5 per horse, $25; Interest on harness Investment of $200, $12; up keep of harness at $5 per set, $12.50:' depreciation of harness, $20; total, $726.20.

These Indians were at the show last year and con tributed largely to its success. Keen interest is being taken in'the performance of “ Clear Range,’’ a tgray bucking horse shipped to Boze man by express from Dos Vegas, New Mexico. This horse is said, to be the worst horse in the entire south west country and his equal as a bucker has not been seen, since the days of Cheyenne’s famous Steam boat. A number of northern horses of considerable promise are also be ing groomed to go after the big stake offered for the worst bucking horse. . . AH sorts of races, including lum bering stage coaches that used to make the trip from Corinnei Utah, Indian boys on fleet .ponies, cowboys, cowgirls, fat Indian squaws and many more will be run. The relay races this year will arouse a deal of local interest as the entries so far come mostly from Montana outfits, the last of the big ranches. A roundup festival like the one to be held next week in Bozeman is more than merely a thrilling spec tacle, it is an educational affair. It keeps alive those traditions which have had so much to do in building the Treasure state, it perpetuates the customs of our fathers; it, provides clean — if perilous — red-bloodèd sport. Days of excitement, nights oi pleasure, spent in hospitable Boze man— that is what the Gallatin if offering to Montana. It is more than a spectacle— it is one chance in a year to turn back the pages of his tory for a whole generation. -------- :--------o ---------------- - . > To Have a Clear Sweet 8kln.

Te $25,000 sought from the fed eral bureau of public roads to aid in completing the “Glacier Park Trail’’ across the Blackfeet reserva tion to Browning will not be forth coming. This was announced by T. M- Keen, chief federal road engineer for Montana and Idaho, who inspect ed the project in company with state highway officials. The government Mr, Keen explain ed, can only participate In road building on a 50-50 basis with the states. Upon going to the reserva tion he discovered that the $25,000 which was to be used in matching the same amount from the bureau of public roads was Indian money— and no^ in the treasury of the United States. He immediately held that one federal fund could not be matched against another on the 50-50 plan. It is now announced that the $25,- 000 in Indian money will be devoted to constructing the road as far as possible this year and it will be ex tended as funds are available. The Blackfeet Indians will be employed in the work, drawing in wages their own funds which they voted to use on the road. Members of the party which made the inspection were Mr. Keen, George W. Lanstrum, state highway com missioner; Henry Good of Kallspell, member of the state highway com mission; John N. Edy, chiefs engineer of.the state highway commission; T. A. flarlow, Great Falls, district en gineer of the highway commission, and Superintendent Campbell of the Blackfeet reservation. sipüü m i . ■ ..... T \ \ 1 11 . ...... ■ The T. O.
