GEYSER, MONT., ,4EPTEM - BIRR 14, 1911 , ' NO. 26 Daring Airmen At State Fair Lincohi Beachey, Alan Who Amazed America, to Daz- zle Montana Crowds Lincoln Beachey, the man who amazed America by his daring at Ni- agara Falls last June, will this fall dazzle the visitors in attendance on the Montana State Fair during the last week of September. Beachey and another aviator, St. Henry, also noted for his recklessness, are the two airmen who will each give three exhibitions daily at the fair grounds fair week. An iron clad contract has been signed that provides that each flight must last at least ten minutes, and unless each avi- etor makes three flights, no money will be paid... The infield of the state fair ground track makes an ideal aviation field, and although flights have been attempted in various other parts of Montana, the only satisfactory flights yet, made in Montana have been from this field. This means that Montanans who have not had the opportunity of wit- nessing the marvelous aerial maneu- vers of the lithe bi-planes, will have that pleasnre when they come to the state fair. At Niagara with the mighty roar of cataracts in his ears, wrapped in the mist clouds, Beachey skimmed above the leaping foam at a speed of sixty miles an hour under the arches of the - upper steel .bridge almost down to the gorge. So narrow the space that the slightest deviation, the fainttest trem- bling, would have dashed him against' tlre rock -lined coutse. \Beachey raced, - comments the Denver News, - over a course where death lay in wait in every form; a cc•irse where everything conspired to take control of the ma- chine from the daredevil on the seat, and where an instant's loss of control would be fatal. The age of human daring? It has just begun. All the swashbucking bullies of olden song and story are eclipsed by a feat like this.\ This is the same man who recently established a new world's record for altitude flight, at Chicago. And this is the man who will give exhibitions at the state fair this fall—Beachey and another man. Two swift, white - winged machines will rise three times each day from the fair grounds, skim over the broad valley and if conditions are right, may even race over the main range of the Rockies, sixteen miles westward. • Such a sight the northwest has never seen before. Many, many miles it will be worth coming to see. To Build a Road in Glacier Park Helena, Sept. 11:—A big crew of • • • • • • • men with teams, scrapers and road making machinery is waiting for the government to accede to the request of the Great Northern railroad for per- mission to build a 40 -mile boulevard from Midvale to St. Mary's and as soon as this permission is granted work will be started on what will become the main traveled entrance to Glacier National Park. according to Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern. \We handled 4,000 people in the Glacier Park this year,\ said Mr. Hill, \and when the short time the Park has , been created is considered, and the • further fact that the Great Northern in its advertising matter has urged no j people to visit the region, we consider , the record exceptionally good. operated eight canips this sea- , 4 son, which v as preliminary to perma- • • • ner8wihs chalets.

C. • Purdy took the matter up with a cotimission firm of that city and the following reply was received: ... Souih Oinaha,iNleb., Sept. 9, 1911. Mr. S. C. Purdy, Geyser, Monk.' , . Dear Sir: We have yourAtter of September 7th, and are very glad to hear from you and will keep you in touch with our market by sendingtibut reports, and the stock paper will give you the sales of western grass cattle and the general condition of the market. We have had quite a fest/ , grass cattle here this season, • hut Nlontanas are just beginning to come, and we are expect- ing some very good fat beeves from your state. Each year we are getting more of the Montana beeves and if you were on the market and could 'see 1 ,( INV they sell, we think you would feel justified in shipping, to ..,Lith Omaha. Last sea- son there were a number of our friends from your state con- signed their cattle to ChicaWleed at South Omaha. We asked them if they cared if. ; yferabowed their stock here but they thought it was no use *tying we could not get enough _. money for them, but we -ebM them at the same price they were expecting to get at Chistelo, $6.75. You never met a happier shipper in all your life,' .0 Good fat grass steers will bring about as much on our market as at Chicago; cows almost as much as they would east of here, and the feeders' Will sell higher on our market than in Chicago. We had a trainload of Montana cattle here Tuesday from Hardin; they were young stuff and thin, most of them sold for stock purposes. If we get any good beef we think they will sell up close to the 7 -cent mark, and the best fat cows will bring around $4.50 -- )6 $5.00. Heifers, of course, will bring more, and feeding steers of quality all the way from $5.00 to $6.00. We get more good western grass cattle here than any of the other markets and on account of their quality and reputa- tion, they bring very satisfactory prices; in fact our customers are always well pleased wig' Att•eilett we make for them, and when your cattle are ready w6 shall be very glad indeed if at least some of your friends can give us a trial. If you will send us their names we can write each one of them. Thanking you again for your letter, Yours very truly, WOOD BROS. Some time ago an effort was made by the shippers of this locality to get the Great Northern to make Geyser the dividing point on the line in order that they could ship to Chicago by way of Omaha as cheaply as by St. Paul, thus giving them a chance at the Omaha mar- ket in the event of the price being right. Most of the stockmen here have been in the habit of shipping direct to Chicago, but the haul is so long that shrinkage is a matter of much moment and nearer markets are each season getting a larger per- centage of Montana stock. •-•-•-•-•-•-••• IF.*** •• •-•-• .•-•• 1 1 1 1 1 .. MERINO Austin Smith of Paunee, Ill., who arrived here Friday of last week is vis- Ong his son, W. H. Smith of this place, and looking over the country with a view of buying and settling in this neighborhood. Harvesting is about finished and the seeding is being done. There will be a large acreage of winter wheat put in this fall. The Merino schnol opened Sept. 5 with Miss Ruth Finfrock as teacher. On account of the bad weather the attendance was small. 'The lathe of the Merino Congre- gafionar church will meet with Mrs. I. G. Finfrock Thursday of this week to organize an Aid society.

Church of Geyser is assisting in the building. Rainy weather has hindered the stacking of grain. Threshers Making Excellent Progress Judith Basin's Bumper Crop Rap- idly Being Prepared for Market • The ideal weather which has fol- lowed the wet apell_of last Week is lab• ing tsken advantage of by the grain growers and threshers of the Judith Basin, and the immense crop of wheat, oats, barley and flax is rap'cily being threshed out and hauled to market. It is estimated that there are fully sixty threshing outfits now at work in the ir xtd Basin and hetwee ty and se‘enty- five thousand b shels of grain hulled out each day. il . t the present rate and with a continuance of good weather, the bumper crop will be pretty well taken care of within thirty days.— Fergus County Democrat. I Marias River Land Open Oct. 21 412,000 Acres of Some of Best Land in Montana Eligible for Entry Soon Nearly 412,000 acres of Northern Montana land will, be thrown open to settlers within two months, according to information received at. the local land office this tnosning, says Monday's Great Falls Leader. All of the,land is included in that portion which was withdrawn from entry in 1902 and lies in and about the fertile Marias river country. In the great acreage thrown open some of the finest land in the United States for the pursuit of agri- culture is included. All of the land lies along the Marias river in Chouteau and Teton counties, and extends westward to the Blackfeet Indian reservation. From a starting point at township 30 north the land extends on the south bank of the Ivlarias river 18 miles eastward and from the same meridian it extends along both banks of the river in a westerly direction - to the Blackfeet res- ervation. . It is all contained in the Milk river project and is without doubt the most valuable land that has been thrown open to entry in recent years. That it will all be taken up as soon as entry is allowed -to be made—on and after Oc- tober 21—goes without saying.. By the opening of the land the state school land holdings will be enriched by the addition of approxiptately 24,- 000 acres.
