A Big Bunch of Horses at Great Falls Next Week. Big Horsemen and Horses to Attend. Track in the Finest Condition. Preparations for the big 14—day race meet to be held in Great Falls, August 30th to September 15th, have been completed, and if enthusiasm counts for anything, the meeting will prove a tremendous success, Hugh I. Wilson, president of the Butte Jockey Club, and widely known in racing circles and who will manage the Great Falls meet, is now in Ana- conda. In a communication received yesterday, Mr. Wilson states that prac- tically every horse entered in the Ana- conda races, will be seen on the Great Falls track. This means that nearly 300 fast horses, including several track record -breakers, will be shipped to the city for the coming meet. The races will be conducted at the Fair Grounds, and special trains will be run at regular intervals to accommo- date the crowds. A large force of men and several teams are now engaged in grading and rolling the track, in order that it may be in the bett possible shape for the races. Extensive alterations are being made on the stands and buildings and the stables are being enlarged, This was found necessary because the number of horses expected is far greater than any of previous years, and a much larger attendance is expected. Among the men who will officiate at the big meet are several who are known throughout the United States. The complete list is as follows: John T. Ireland of Lexington, Ky., presiding judge. Sam McGibbon of San Fran- cisco, clerk of scales and assistant judge. Harry Morrisey of Gloucester, N. J. starter; Seymour Villas in charge of the ring, and Jack 1,inne, paddock judge and timer, Everything possible is being done to assure the best of racing and to provide visitors with enjoyable entertainment. No one seems to be making any kick about his crops nor the weather. Plenty of rain, plenty of crops and the l price of wheat going up. Geyser's First Fire. Last Thursday .evening the clang the fire bell announced that Geyser was having the first fire in its history. Some one discovered a blaze in the barn just nor.h of the Sanders blacksmith shop In a short time the local fire depart- ment was at work in earnest, and soon had the fire under control, but not until it had done about $75.00 worth of damage. The exact cause of the fire is yet a matter of speculation and will probably never be known. The barn belonged to Oscar Swanson and the damage was a total loss as there was no insurance. The volunteer fire depart ment did excellent work in protecting other near -by buildings.

Ducks are killed by electricity also by the thousands, for the feathers. The limit on ducks is twenty per day. Next Monday morning at about 5:47 o'clock the duck season will be opened in Montana. and many a hunter is pol- ishing up his blunderbus in anticipation of a good bag the first day. On the first morning of September the sun will rise at 5:47 and the hunter is allowed to hunt until 7:08 p. m. without fear of arrest. as the law gives that privilege to hunt from sunrise until sunset. M. E. Parrish, wife and son of Great Falls, were guests at the A. A. Frese- man home last Sunday. The parcel post system is of great convenience to the public. It fills a long felt want that express companies could not or would not meet. As an adjunct to the rural free delivery alone, it is of inexpressible benefit. That the usefulness of the system will be increased, there is not the shadow of a doubt, You can send almost anything by parcel post. There are just a few things you can't ship. You can not ship a live animal. But you can send a queen bee. N'ou cannot send a raw hide, an infernal machine nor liquor. But you can send medicine and cured pelts. You can send eggs. vegetables. fruits.hutter, fresh meats, within the first zone—that is for a radius of fifty miles. The C. 0. I). is a quick remittance service.
