Ismay, Montana, Friday, July 28, 1 9 1 1 . _ _________________________ N o r t h e r n P a c i f i c O p e n s U p E x h i b i t a t Products of the Northwestern States Shown in VarioWj&stern* Cities The Northern Pacific Exhibit main tained at Columbus during the month of February, starting at the time of the National Corn Show there, accomplished so much good that the company has rented large quarters on one of the busi ness streets of Cincinnati (49 East Fourth Street), and has openod up an exhibit there, which will be maintained during the present month. The exhibit at Columbus at the time of the National Corn Show excited much •favorable comment, and Governor Eber- hart of Minnesota, who went to Colum bus with a party of Minnesota people to get the Corn Show for St. Paul next year, spoke very flatteringly of the show ing made by the Northern Pacific Ex hibit. Upon big return to St. Paul, he advised President Elliott of the Northern Pacific that, in his judgment, the ex hibit was 1110.-1 excellent and bound to do a great deal of good for the Northwest states. Products from all sections along the Northern Puoific lines were shown, the exhihits being artistically arranged and ornamented by pictures and placard displays. Literature describing the vari ous seotions was frooly distributed, and these exhibits were crowded from morn ing until night with people anxious to learn of the advantages offered by the Northwest to the farmer and townsman. When the exhibit is closed in Cincin nati, it will be moved to various other Eastern cities, and will next fall b6 placed in Madison Square Garden, New York, for the American Land & Irriga tion Exposition to bo held there. Great interest is being manifested in this ex position as it is the first large event of the kind to be held in Atlantic coast ter ritory. ^.Tho West will he strong in evi dence, as most of the Western railroads have signified their intention of taking space and making exhihits. The North ern Pacific in their work of this Kjid, have adopted the scheme of setting Jbff their display effectively at night by the use of a huge eleotrio sign, which flashes intermittently and blazes forth the trade mark and the Jiauje of the railroad “ like a hou§o a-fire,” The S t a t e F a ir. We are in receipt of the premium list and program of the Moijtana State Fair, which will be held in Helena, Sept. 23th to 30lh. At its last session the Legislature placed the Fair under the control of the State, so while iij the past state supervision has been •more or less exercised, this year it’ll be put altogether under the auspices o f the state and commonwealth. The new departure does not mean there will be any less reason for the indi vidual effort, which has made the eight preceding exhibitions such great successes. It simply means? that the co-operation between the State and in dividuals, and b.otween the Coimties, will be closer and that back of tlia Kail*, is the endorsement, officially, of Montana. The chapge is one that gives not only stability and perma nence to the State Fair, but it gives added value to the awards that are given to successful exhibitors, in that they partake more of an official char acter, than thev haye in the past. The first good results o f the change will be substantial additions to the amount of the Premium Awards and to the plans that have been adopted for extending the usefulness of the State Fair as an advertisement of the resources of the state and as an educa tional factor. At the Fair in Septem ber, the effort will be not only to en hance the the value of the exhibitor in all departments of the efforts he makes to displav his products but. in {.wo lines which promise much for the prosperity of the state, there are add ed inducements. Besides the regular premiums, sev eral fine silver cups wjll be awarded as prizes in the different departments, for the best exhibits, and altogether, the Fair will be the best ever held in the state. If any of our readers have not received the premium list, we will gladly let yoy look over our eppy at the office. T h e H a r v e s t B e g ins. Several families in covered wagons passed through here last week, on the way from their abandoned homesteads in the Hettinger country to Washing ton, where the men hoped to get em ployment. Hard lints, that’s sure, and we, who live in this portion of the state, can be grateful considering that there is enough of a crop in sight to tieje matters over anOT^er year. Per haps a few unfoptijM&te ones will bo compelled to give^Tp, but the big majority will be able to stand it until another crop is harvested. About a half crop, on an average, will be the yield through this section, so many farmers tell us. Crops on old ground will give a fair yield but the sod crops are pretty badly burned up. Harvest has already begun, a large number of farmers starting cutting last Monday, so it will not be lopg before we will know the real outcome. One thing is certain, and that is, the prices should be the very best, owing to the failure of crops all through the west, if de mand and supply play any part what ever in making and maintaining prices. And the man with the hoe—who has a goodly supply of potatoes and like garden truck, will undoubtedly reap a nice little harvest of shekels from the sale thereof, if present prices are in dicative of their value a little later on. New potatoes are selling for 4c per pound in the local markets. A B u s y W e e k . Big stock and wool shipments have been made the past week by stockmen of this section, and tlie local train yards was a hivo of industry. Seven teen carloads of sheep, wo .counted, were sont to the Union Stockyards at Chicago, on Monday, besides several carloads o f wool which the shippers told us wont to Boston and other east ern points. Istpay has made such a good reputation for itself as a stock and grain shipping point thg.t several of the eastern railways have had rep resentatives here the last few days, who were endeavoring to get Local shippers to patronize their r ' ^\active lines, M o r e C lips Sold.

A., miles City. ; The New Line is The.Short Line. The past week has sec-n quite a movement in wool, and among those selling their clips are: Colin & Mun- ro, Roderick Munro, Jas. Munro, T. J. Riley, David Bickle, John MacKen- zie, and W. C. Hamilton. R. L. And erson & Co., and Laney Bros.* Co., have consigned their holdings, we un derstand. Jas. Munro informs us that he re ceived 17 J -2 cents for his w o o l- the heaviest clip per sheep in this section— which js said to be the highest price paid in the state thus far, although it is rumored that lHe has been paid to local parties. The buyers say that the wool in this territory is the finest in the entire state, which warrants their paying the top market price for the Ismaj and Tee Dee clips. The quality of the wool has never been so good for years, the weather and the range conditions having been ideal the past joar for wool growing, The. sheepmen had confidently expected to get 20 cents but the uncertainty of the wool tariff legislation made it impos sible to receive any such price from the wool manufacturers.

A ll W o o l V a r ie t y . Because of the prosperous crop con ditions that prevail in Montana at this time, the C. M. A St. P. and the C, M. & P. S. railways have jointly arranged for a sale of Homeseekers’ excursion tickets from all C. M. A St. stations to C. M. A P. S. stations in Montana on Aug. K, 22, and 29: Sept. 12, and 20: Oct. 10, 24 and 31. These dates are in addition to the dates prev iously authorized, viz., August 1 and 15, September 5 and 19, and October 3. and 17. As can be seen this is one of the big gest things that has ever been done for the State of Montana; it will un doubtedly bring thousands of people into the state who will, very likely, make Montana their future home, as on their visit here they can see the exact conditions of Montana. The Census Bureau has determined that there were 51,638,590 sheep and lambs in this country in 1910. These are all of the kind that live on t he farms and ranges and are independent of the kind that hang around Wall Street and other stock exchanges, be cause count was made of the sheet) and lambs with wool on their backs in stead of the kind where the wool has be,en pulled over the eyes.
