PLANS COMPLETED
FOR POULTRY SHOW
County Fair Board Lends Assistance
to Make Gallatin County
Exhibit High Class
Gallat n county's exhibit at the
state fair next month is to be the
biggest and best ever. The favorable
action of the county fair board on
the request made by the poultry com
mittee now makes this a certainty.
Chairman eLwis has assured the
poultrymen of his hearty support in
t heir efforts to make the Gallatin
coufty poultry exhibit one of the
outstanding features. We have the
poultry; the only thing now is to
get them together and show' the
world.
Expvessch arges to Helena and re
turn will be paid by the fair board.
In addition they will provide a sniall
sum for expenses in getting the ex
hibit n shape. This will practically
relieve the various exhibitors of all
expense except the entry fee of 25
cents per bird.
The committee having charge of

They have ar

W. T. Thompson.
.1 with Grant Thompson, a well
own n poultry man of Bozeman
a i l breeder of Black Orpingtons, to
give several days' time to interview
range
kr
ing breeders of the county and help
the with the making of their en
tries.
Grant Thompson has had consid
erable experience in exhibiting and
caring for poultry at both the Mon
tana state show and the state fair.
The committee have arranged to have
him accompany the shipment to Hel
ena and to see that all exhibits are
given the best of care.
Grant says he will be very glad
to assist aamycne, especially the
new exhibitors, in selecting their
best birds. Anyone wish ng his serv
ices will kindly communicate with
Chairman Brandenburg personally or
by phone. Grant says there will be
no charge for this assistance on his
part.
Mr. Brandenburg urgently re
quests that all Gallatin county
breeders communicate with him at
once and let him know what variety
they ai'e breeding and how many
birds of each age they will enter.
He suggests that each one endeavor
to send both an old and a young pen,
consisting of one cock bird and four
hens, and a cockerel and four pul
lets. In this way each exhibitor will
have a chance of win prizes on both
single birds and pens. If exhibitors
haven't a full pen, then enter what
ever they have, which will help the
exhibit.
The fact that old birds are moult
ing or your young birds ai*e not fully
developed and feathered, should not
discoui'age exhibitors,
ber that the other fellow's birds
in the same shape —perhaps not
as good as your own—so don't get
"cold feet." Be a good sport and
help Gallatin county put over the
largest and most representative ex

Remember, the advertising value
of a w:n at the biy state fair is well
worth while,
come to the help of the committee
and show Montana and the Northwest
teat old Gallatin leads in poultry as
stock, grains and grasses.
Above all, however.
FAMOUS HOUSE TO GO
FROM COLLEGE CAMPUS
The Montana State College is to
loose a landmark that has become
famous as a part of the institution.
T he old log house built on the campus
in 1893 must go to make way for the
new gym which will be erected on the
same location, construction of w'hich
will commence at
At the time this old log building
was erected there were several others
of the same material. These have
since been removed and are but mem
once
■° r y- The building was formely the
administration center of the college,
afterwards was used as a club house
by the students. Later it wfts used
as a hospital and during the winter
of the flue was occupied a great deal
of the time.
Work of tearing down the build
ing started Monday and within a
short time there will be nothing left
of the old structure. The great devel
opment of the college and the ne
cessity for more spacious quarters
to accomodate the great increasing
student body required the space
which the old leg building stood The
new gym will be one of the finest in
the state.

SPECIAL HAY RATE
MILK RIVER POINTS
Malta, Aug. 23.—Two hundred car
loads of hay may be shipped at once
from the Milk River valley in Mon
tana to St. Paul and Minneapolis un
der a 34 per cent temporary reduc
tion in rate granted by the Great
Northern railroad upon the applica
tion of the Montana railroad com
mission, it was announced Monday
afternoon at the capitot.
The old rate from the Milk River
to the twin cities was $14.50 per ton.
The reduction granted makes it
$10-70. Since first class hay is
bringing about $20 a ton at Minne
apolis and St. Paul, that will give
the Montana shipper about $9 at the
shipping point. The hay ready for
shipment is placed at 50,000 tons.
The message to the railroad commis
sion was signed by W. P. Kinney,
vice president and general manager
of the Great Northern.
The state railroad commission took
up the mater of obtaining a reduc
tion when Milk River hay shippers
informed the commission of the hay
on hand, for which there was no sat
s^actory market at the existing
freight rates.

DAIRY COW
MAKING RECORD
i J. O. Tresvon, member of the an
imal husbandry department of the
State college is proud of the prod
uction being made by Grace Kiningen
the famous Holstein of the agricult
ure department of the school. He ex
pects her record for the year 1921
will be one which will be hard to
equal.
At the present time this cow is
producing an average of 100 pounds
of milk and about three pounds of
butter fat each day. During June
and July her production was 6318
pounds of milk and 202.33 pounds of
butterfat. Milking is done every six
hours by Earl Jewell who is in comp
lets charge of the cow and he is
giving her his careful attention. Be
sides an allowance of 22 pounds of
grain each day the cow has all the
grass she cares to eat and by .the end
of the year her record is expected
to be very fine.

Loyalty to Bozeman is very well

city and tells of the "get togather"
meeting held there by a number of
people who used to live here.

The Courier,
Bozeman, Montana.
Dear Sir:
It may be of interest to some of
your reader s to learn that a unmber
of former residents of Bozeman but
who are now making their homes in
Portland, had a "get to gether" pic
nic dinner on Saturday, August 13,
It was a pleasure to meet old friends
and become remoniscent regarding
places and people of the "old town."
Those of us who could met in
Laurelhurst park, one of the beaut
tiful spots in Portland, and enjoyed
a dinner. One would have thought
that Old Baldy was in the distance
instead of Mount Hood and that it
was the West Gallatin instead of the
Columbia River that was just over
the hills, from the trend of the
versation that took place.
It was the unanimous desire of all
present to hold similar gatherings in
the future and through the news col
con
umns of the daily papers
to find all Bozemanites who
we are
going
now live in Portland. We
they would enjoy it as much as we
are sure
did.
Here is the list of those who
in attendance. Miss Phyliss Wolfe,

COUNTY BOND SALE
DECLARED ILLEGAL
County Attorney Bunker has been
suppoi-ted by Attorney General Ran
kin in an opinion which he rendered
to the County Commissioners relat
ive to the sale of county bonds. Acc
ording to the opinion the sale of the
bonds are illegal. The ruling is one
of great importance as it will have
the effect of causing a change in
practically every county in the state
in the methods of selling bonds.
The law requires that all county
bonds sold must be and remain in
and under the control of the County
Treasurer, that they shall draw in
terest at the rate of two and a half
percent and be deposited in banks as
designated.
The ruling sustains the oninoin
that tne county commissioners do not
have the authority to contract for the
deposit of bonds or for the money
coming from the sale of bonds.
The issue came up over the sale
of $125,000 worth of bonds purcras
ed by the W. L. Slayton Co. which
firm attached certain conditions to
the contract.
