Attractive Feature Plaaned for the Northern Montana Fair • at Great Falls The Northern Montana fair, which is to be held in Great Falls the latter pan of September, promises to have an unusually good program of attrac- tions this year. One of the features planned by Secretary Hubbard is a cowboy relay race. Each 'contestant wiU reqire a string of six horses. Three .miles each day will be run, changing mounts every half mile. - One change will be - made - immediately in - front of the grandstand at the Northern Nlor - tam fair ground while the others w be made at the half mile post. The change in front of the grand-- . stand IS %%hat promises to pros ide tht: greatest amount of interest. Cow boys Will be required to rope their mounts, saddle and bridle them before the start of each lap. This means that the cowboy w ill have to take the saddle and bridle off his horse when he fin- ishes a lap and then rope and saddle a the next dling them. The roping feature what makes the Northern NIontana fair relay race a distintaiselv new at- traction. More Telephones for Jefferson National Forest Thirty-four miles of new telephone line is to be constructed in the Jeffer- son national forest immediately, ac- cording to Forest Supervisor Walter S. Perine. The telephone service in all national forests is being gradually ex- tended as an aid to the rangers in !Wal- ing fifes and in fighting them and the new line will be constrncted in au cord- ance wnh this policy'. The addition of 34 miles of tele- phone line will almost double the telephone facilities of the service in the Jefferson forest. No tires has e yet been reported in this forest and it is hoped this year to present the files altogether which were so disastrous last year. Notice On account of the store and post - office being closed all day on Sundass, hereafter we will keep the store and postoffice open Saturday nights until 10 o'clock, in order to gi‘e ranchers an opportunity to come in Saturday nightto get supplies and their mail.

The Judith Basin Grain Lands company has sold about 1,500 acres of the Long ranch to parties who will break and plant a large portion of it this fall. The most important sale is to Peter Vetesch and A. N. Brill, who have taken thirteen forties out of sections 4 and 5, adjoining the townsite of (ivy ser on the northeast corner.
