DON'T FORGET THE SUPPER IN THE BECKER HALL SATURDAY EVENING 4 VOL. III NO 40, THE HARDIN TRIBUNE HARDIN, YELLOWSTONE COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER -„ 9 o. s2 PER YEAR. - Montana State Fair MIDLAND CLUB CANAL PATRONS !Largest Land Sale MEETS AT HUNTLP OBJECT TO LEVEY is Best in History Ever Known in West Agricultural Display Proves State's Great Worth Yellowstone County ie Well Represented -Air Ship Proves the Most Attractive Feature After five days of nearly ideal weather the annual state fair came to a close Saturday at Helena. From the point of dis- play and features and attendance this years record far exceeds those of any previous years and from the points of interest and enthusiasm, it is doubtful if any exposition of state importance ever been so thoroughly dive. In 1900, Montana held its first state fair under the name of the Montana Agricultural, Miner- al and Mechanical as a result of private initiative. Eight years ago the present organization known as the Montana State Fair association was perfected. Since that time the process of awakening the whole state to the fact that this annual exposition is a state affair and not confined to the interests of Helena alone has been pursued until this year to the casual observer it appears that the association with its annual appropriation of the state of $10,000 for maintenance and $5,000 for buildings it has suc- ceeded remarkably well. The keenest rivalry among the various counties could be noted in their display of farm products and the accomplishments of their schools, and the products of the mines. The display from, Deer Lodge county cleverly arranged in a bungalow constructed of grasses and grain of their own growing and costing about $8,000, was probably the most artistic on the grounds. and yet the dis- play from Yellowstone county as actual products of fruit and grain was very creditable indeed. Mr. Clark of the Midland Empire, Clark's Fork valley was the only individual to display a complete carload of fruilAnd carried away a number of rprizes. We think every locality in the state was represented with the exception of Hardin but the observer searched in vain for any evidence øf the best locality, in the state. Several features of the fair were interesting. The 'chief at- tractions being the flights of the daring aviator Mr. Mars in his Curtis biplane. These exhibitions were the greatest display of skill that has ever been witnessed by the state fair visitors. On Wed- nesday Mr. Mars started from the inclosure within the race track and after circling the track several times at a height of per- haps a hundred feet, he pointed his biplane upward and soaring to a height of some twelve hun- dred feet circled the city and surrounding hills with the skill of a bird and finally dropped to the turf again in front of the y grandstand with apparent ease safty. On Saturday Mr. Mars attempted to cross the high divide of the Rockies and return again and was succeeding remarkably well till he neared the pass, but the suction through the pass proved too strong and he was forced to land. In so doing he broke some part of the machinery which put an end to his attempt to win the $5.000 prize offered as an advertising feature by the Smith River Development Com- pany for the first person accom- plish this feat. Another feature of the fair was the interest taken by out towns outside of Helena, many of which sent large delegations of boosters. There was a Butte day, Missoula, Great Falls and Western Montana day. Probably the most enthusiastic and best spirited bunch of boosters came Friday from Great Falls. About three hnndred rooters with badges and penants and headed by a band of perhaps forty musi- cians nearly took charge of the affair of the day. They paraded in front of the grandstand, during intermission, shouting their en- thusiasm,singing their songs and displaying their banners in the greatest glee. It was during the harrengue of the Great Falls boosters that Governor Norris mounted the speakers stand and introduced Joseph E. Howard, famous for his productions of \Stubborn Cinderella.\ \Land of Nod,\ \Time Place and the Girl,\ \The Girl Question,\ etc. Mr. Howard rendered to the accompainment of the state band the solo\Montana\ A new song with words) by the famous lyric Geo. M. Cohan, set t music by Mr. Howard himself. Tnis song completely captivated the vast throng and so pleased the governor that steps were im- mediatly taken to adopt as the permanent state song. The chorus runs as follows. Montana. Montana The glory of the west, Of all the states from coast to coast Montana is the best. Montana, Montana Her skies are always blue, M -o -n -t -a -n -a Montana, I love you. Another feature of the state fair which caused the Hardin ob- server to marvel was the wonder- ful cleverness with which the state legislature can adjust our laws as to make legal the passing of some $200,000 through the betting ring at the state fair, an occurance which took place this year, and still make it a high crime te indulge in a quiet game at cards or other games of chance far less vicious for a money con- sideration. But then you know the fair association get a com- mission of perhaps 10 per cent on all bets and that is a wonder- ful help to the suecess of the fair. We hope that another year will find the Big Horn valley better represented at the state fair. There is no question that we can furnish the products equal to any in the state. And when you have visited the fair and become familiar with what the people in other parts of the state are doing you become more convinced than ever that Montana is the greatest state in the union.

Think Maintenance Charges Ex- orbant on Two Legging Canal Forms 'Waterusers Association and Prepare to Fight The patrons of the Two Leg- ging Canal assembled in the Becker hall last Saturday •and thoroughly discussed the recent maintenance levey of the canal company. There was some difference of opinion regarding the matter but all present seemed to agree in the opinion that the maihtenance tax of $2.19 per acre, particu- larly when a number of the wa- terusers had never had the water delivered on their lands, was ex- orbant and injust and that if necessary they would make a test case of the matter in the courts. To prepare for wheatever a- waits them in standing for their rights they organized a \Water - users Association\ with a pres- ident, secretary and treasurer, provided for a defense fund and appointed a co:nmittee of three who in conjunction with Attor- ney Johnson will probe the mat- ter to the core and ascertain if possible just how much of this levey the canal company should be entitled to make. W. A. Becker extended the froe use of his building for which the newly formed assoCiation ex- tended a vote of thanks. The case is exciting much in- terest here and will be closely followed by all.
