ITALE AL Fi
IN HELENA
FLACK EAGLE, GATEWAYV CITl
AND BOSTON & MONTANA OR
GANIZATIONS FEATURED.
Helena, Aug. 31.-(Special.)-Music
from Montana's best bands will be one
qf the pleasurable features "pf the
'Montana state fair, September .22-27.
Three of the state's best-known musi
qa. organinztions will appear in hand
IQne t niform at the state fair grounds
tb pur y cl.islcal, popular and mar
Q the Treasure state. The three
blnds lat will be known as the "of
flcial bands of the Montana State
fir" ill be the Black Eagle band of
Great Falls, the Gateway City band
p .Livingston, and the Boston & Mon
.ana band of Butte.
.jOf these organizations the most in
#resting one, the one with a history
-nd the one with an enviable reputa
tLon, is the Boston & Montana band.
the crack band of the state, the pride
of Butte, and the winner of numerous
gqhampionships. Starting in 1887, with
Sam H. Treloar, the present leader, as
the originator, six musicians employed
by the Boston & Montana Copper
Company, gathered together for mu
,fual enjoyment and for the furthering
fitheir musical education and formed
1what is now the Boston & Montana
land; having derived and retained its
fame from the company in which its
members were employed. During the
11llowing year, 1888, the membership
increased to 24, all selected from the
mines of the company, and the band
filled a limtited number of engage
ments, winning merit and distinction
within the territory of Montana. In
1890 a band hall was built and fur
nished for band purposes, where
practicing and rehearsals have taken
place for 2$ years.
After the first incorporation in 1892
the band. began receiving. attention
over the country and visited many Im
portiýnt musical gatherings, the first
being,\the Musical Elisteddfod at Salt
Lake City, where the band played in
contest 9t the famed Mormon taber
nacle, winging second prize and musi
cal merit throughout the entire United
States. This was in October, 1895,
.id, in July, 1896, the band attende,'
the national democratic convention at
Chicago, where it was accorded and
recognized as the premier band in at
tendance. Returning from Chicago,
royal ,entertainment was provdied to
the band members by the Penny Press
at Minieapolis, the band playing at
Lake Harriet, where it was given an
ovation.
During the years of 1897-1898-1899,
the organization confined its efforts to
l~aying at all the important conven
tions, fairs, .-.and celebrations within
the' state and in July, 1900, attended
the democratic national convention at
Kansas City, Mo., Wvon every competi
tion, and in returning repeated its
success by playing at ill the import
ant cities, escorting the Montana dele
gation at Lincoln, Neb., to the home of
William Jennings Bryan, the Montana
serenade receiving flattering notices
at every hand.
In August, 1902, the Boston & Mon
tana band accompanied the Montana
lks to Salt Lake City to the national
reunion of the order. Here they
played in contest against all compet
ing bands, 'making 168, points out of a
possible 180, winning an unchallenged
first place, Denver being next with
155 points, with the Presidio band of
,San Francisco, the Emporia.band and
the Cowboy band of Ouray, Colo., fol
owing in order. Two months later in
a' concert combined with Ellery's
Ro'al Italian band at Butte, the
famous "Tannhauser Overture" was
rendered, this being the selection that
won the highest points at the Salt
Lake Elks' contest.
Stil] pursuing the custom of accom
panying the Montana delegation, the
band went again with the Elks in 1906
to Denver, where they won first prize
in the hand contest with three doctors
of music as judges. Los Angeles was
the next mecca, and en route the band
served as an escort for the Shriners
through Utah and Nevada to the "City
of Angels." A splendid American flag
was presented herd to the Montana
hand as an appreciation of its superior
musical performances. In October,
1908, the band accompanied the Butte
business men on- their memorable
"boosting excursion' over the new

iourrvpyed ' '. t Angeles, this time
with fs e.iks to the national reunion,
and for the thir' time the champioli
ship laurels went to the premier band
of the Treasure state, the best bands
of Iowa, Californta, and Arizona being
humbled in the Ascot park contest.
Los Angeles was again revisited last
year when the Bagdad temple of ButteI
,took the Boston & Montana band to
the Shriners' convention, and where
'once again the honors of previous
years were repeated when musical
honors were won from all visiting and
the local California bands. Extra en
gagements were filled at Venice, the
famous Pacific beach resort, where
melcdies from the great Treasure state
delighted not only the visiting Mon
tanans, but the tourists who flock to
California from near and far.
The band has been recipients of
many handsome, expensive and useful
gifts, among these being: A special
cabinet, designed for the keeping of
the musical library; a splendid United
States flag, the gift of Signor _L i1J
eratti, the famous band master and
cornet virtuoso: the beautifully toned
"Cathedral Chimes," including a set of
tubular bells, a gift of A. J. Davis.
president of the First National bank,
Butte, and liberal cash donations from
prominent Montana citizens.
Every member of the. lBoston & Mon
tana band is engaged in work in and
around the mines of Butte, where ev
I ery day they work at their respective
vocations, and when engaged to play it
affords pleasure to every c'lmpany of
ficial to permit, the band minmbers to
absent themselves from tleir \work ant
to share with them t!h achievements
of the organization. 'The,. Bio ston &
Montana band is not only a pride to
the city in which it originated and
now has its headquartrs, bu it i is the
pride of the whole state of Montana,
and a favorite at the ,\linana State
fair.
The band will aplpear at the fair
grounds at Helena during the week of
the fair, having with Ithem the full
quota of musicians, an ,xtensive rep
ertoire of music, and \\ill give con
certs with the far-fai.ed "'Cathedral
Chimes," which will be heard in Hel
ena for the first timln. Special train
service with half rates from all Mon
tana points to Helena \11i give the
people of the state an o,liportunity to
hear the finest bands in the north
west.
CHANCE FOR SETTLERS ON
RESERVATION
(Continued From Page One.)
among the notaries which \\as so spec
tacular at former lantl openings. A
peculiar feature of the iotary associa
tion is that up to the preisent time not
a woman has applied for menmbership.
This is unprecedented, lnearly one
half of the notaries acting hereto
fore,at registrations being women
school ma'ams, clerks and stenlograph
ers--who qualified for that purpose.
On this occasion no notary will he
eligible to take acknowledgments, ac
cording to a ruling of Judge Witten,
who did not secure his commission
prior to July 1, 1913.
The Registration.
Registration for the lanrds of the
Fort Peck reservation will take place
at four points, viz: G(lasgoiw, Great
Falls, Havre, and Miles City, from
September 1st to 20th, inclusive. Glas
gow, 'Great Falls and Ha;vre are located
on the Great Northern railroad, and
Miles City is on the Northern Pacific.
Both railroads will put on extra trains
and coaches in order to accommodate
the traffic to all the registration
points. The manner of registering will
be similar to that used in former land
openings in the main features, but in
mailing applications to Judge Witten
it will be necessary in every case to
use a two-cent stamp. (not two one
cent stamps), in order that absolute
uniformity will be preserved in the ap
pearance of all envelopes 'o;ntaining
these applications. The applicant is
furnished with a blank and his ap
plication must be signed and sworn
to before a notary public who is eli
gible to take acknowledgments in this
registration, the application must then
be enclosed in a plain envelope, ad
dressed to Hon. James W. Witten,
Glasgow, Mont., a two-cent stamp af
fixed and the envelope containing these
applications must have no Identifica
'thon marks whatever.
The Drawing.
The drawing of the lands of the Fort
Peck reservation will take place at
Glasgow, Mont., beginning September
23. The method of drawing will be
,ttotleally the same as that of recent
drawings. The metal receptacles con
taining the applications will be
brought to Glasgow as soon 4a the
registration closes and on September
23 they will be opened and the don
tents placed upon a large platform
which will he entirely screened in
with wire screens. The envelopes will
be thoroughly mixed together befqre
the drawing begins, thus giving all
applicants an equal chance. The selec
tions will be made by two little girls
as in former drawings, and the num
biering will be made consecutively in
the order in which they are selected,
beginning with number one, who will
have fir ; choice of the land.
The Filing.
Persons receiving numbers at the
drawing will be notified of their num
bers and the time when they will be
required to file. Such notices will be
sent, giving the numbers immediately
after the drawing, and a second no
tice will he sent later, together with
circular information and copy of pro
clamnation opening the lands. These
notices will be sent out about March
1 mein knit speifi Y tlhe nate andf
hour at which the number assigned
will be called. When a name is called
the person must select the tract he
desires from the large map in the land
office, and to give the applicant time
to examine the land and determine its
value he will be allowed ten days fol
lowing the date of his selection in
which to complete his .entry at the lo
cal land office. During the ten days
he must file upon the land and make a
payment of one-fifth of the purchase
price of the land. The application to
file may be left at the land office pend
ing the first payment which may be
made within the ten days, either if:
person, by agent or through the mails,
but the applicant must assume the re
sponsibility of the remittance reach
ing the local land office safely. Pay
ment must be made in cash, certified
check, bank draft or monley order pay
able to the reeiever which can be
cashed without expense, to the govern
nenlt. If such payment, fails to reach
tile local land office within the ten
days snecified the application stands
rejects , without further action on the
part of the local land officers. In tile
case of declaratory statement allow
able under this opening, the same
course may be pursued, except that
applicant has six months in which to
make entry. The remaining four fifths
of the appraised price of the lands is
to be paid in five equal payments, one
at the end of each year for five con
secutive years, unless commutation
is made of a homestead entry or final
proof of a desert entry, in which case
all unpald installments must be paid
at the time of making proof. If an
entryman fails to make a payment
when due his entry will be canceled
and all former payments are forfeited.
The Reservation.
The Fort Peck Indian reservation 1s
located in the northeastern part of
Montana, about 25 miles from the
Canadian linle, and about 20 miles
from the west line of North Dakota.
It contains an acreage of over 2,000,000
acres, of which 1,345,000 acres are va
cant and will be thrown open to set
tlement in this opening. The south
line of the reservation is formed by
the Missouri river, Big Muddy creek
marks the east line, while the west
line is formed by Porcupine creek and
Milk river. Through the reservation
runs Poplar creek, with its various
branches as well as branches of the
streams that form its borders, and it
will readily be seen that the reserva
tion is well watered with natural
streams. The Great Northern railroad
traverses the southern edge of tile
reservation and gives the traveler a
splendid view of a large part of tile
lands to be opened for settlement be
fore reaching the little city of Glas
gow. The character of the soil is
dark brown alluvial top, with a very
retensive subsoil. This subsoil is the
secret of the good wheat, oats and flax
land, the melting snows of spring and
the rains seeping down through the
top soil, and being retained inl the sub
soil to feed the roots of the small
grain or they shoot downward into the
lmoisture there preserved for their
nourishmentt.
There are about 2,400 Indians on the
reservation who have been allotted
lands aggregating 723,693 acres. Each
Indian has been allotted 320 acres,
and in addition thereto a 40-acre tract
of land susceptible of irrigation and a
20-acre tract of timber land, accord
itng to thile pIrovisionsh of an act passed
May 3, 1898. Children of one day and
older are allotted these lands. The
Indian school is located at Poplar. The
Indian agent in charge of the Indians
op the reservation is Major Lohmiller.
Many of the Indians who are living
on their allotntents halve been farm
ilng the lands for a Ilntlllier of years,
and many fine fietlls of wheat and
flax, now being harvestedtl, mIay be
seen from the car windows as the
traveler crosses the reservation by
train.
A word in regard to a Iunilue.t fta
ture of this land otpening will not cotle
amiss, as this is the first title ih the
history of these land lotteries that
the desert land laws could be taken
advantage of. A married woman mnay
register for the Fort Peck lands and1
If successful may file under the desert
land laws, regardless as to whether
her husband files or not. It is ex
pected that the local people who un
derstand the advantage of this pro
vision will take this opportuitity to
add to their land holdings if success
ful in drawing a number, atnd will
register in large numbers, both hus
bands and wives, registering with the
Intention of filing under thile desert
land laws. Probably 5,000 pIeople from
this section of the state will register
for the desert lands alone.

team.
She-What position does your father I
play?
He-Father is the pitcher-the other
eight support him.
She--And your mother?
He-She is the catcher. Whenever

He-Yes; we live on a farm, and my
little brothers play in the outfield.
