At Miles City
Miles City, Mont., June 5.—
Just about a year ago Miles City
woke up one morning and found
herself famous, as the result of a
three days jamboree. Now Miles
City looks back with such keen
pleasure on that eventful 72
hours of hilarious excitement and
her vanity is so tickled at getting
in the limelight that she is going
ot do it all over again and with
reckless hospitality is sending out
Invitations to the effect that the
'vhole world is invited to hurrah
with her.
It all came about through the
observance of her birthday, for
Miles City was thirty-five years
old last year and is quite proud
of the distinction of being the
oldest town east of the range in
Montana. So a nice little cele
bration was arranged, an old
time rcund-up or out-door tourn
ament of frontier sports. A fat
little purse of $5,000 for the best
exponents of western range
sports was put up by the citizens
and the boys from the brakes of
the Missouri, the Powder River
the Big Dry and other cattle
ranges were invited to come and
try their skill and nerve for pur
ses. The call was sent out to
all the scattered old timers and
pioneers who participated in the
old struggle of the country to
come and foregather around the
camp fire.
The local committee having
the fourth of July celebration in
hand had a vary pleasant little
tea party, doped out that would
be a fair imitation of a Cheyenne
Frontier Day show on a small
scale and an Old Home Week
combined and everything would
have gone according to schedule
if someone hadn't spiked the
punch bowl with the aforesaid
result that Miles City went wild
for three days and, as previously
related, likes its experience well
enough for an encore.
It all came about through the
employment of an enthusiastic
publicity man who saw possibil
ities in the project that appealed
to his imagination. With the
rallying cry of "Powder River"
as a catch line or slogan, he
plastered every billboard be
tween Spokane and Minneapolis,
Winnipeg and Cheyenne with
lurid circus paper boosting the
big new show, his "Powder Riv
er Defi" to the rough riders of
other states brought them run
ning, the new prodigal pol
icy of billboard publicity brought
the crowds and poor old Miles
City was fairly swamped with the
biggest proposition ever had
on her hands. But it was a
whizzer. It set a new high wat
er mark. It brought people here
in thousands and it brought more
money to town than anything
that ever happened and it awoke
ambitious to make this a per
manent affair that is to eclipse all
others.
Can Miles City do it? She
can by a strong majority, because
she has the high cards to play and
the money to back her play. It
takes horses, cattle, riders, brains
and money, to put on a frontier
celebration and these are necess
sary just in the order named. If
you have to import these from
distant points, you can still put
on a fairly sizeable show, but
one that hasn't the stupendously
spectacular and panoramic sweep
and swing to it that is one of the
most impressive features of the
Miles City Round-Up. This is
one of Miles City's strongest
cards, she has the horses and cat
tle right at her doors and above
all she has almost the last rem
nant of real everday working
cowpunchers who are in daily
practice.
No paid professional seeking
fresh honors after a year of two
of fagging routine in 'make-be
lieve thrillers with a traveling
wild west aggregation can cope
with these hardy young riders
fresh from the range,~the lack of
snap, the dare-deviltry and fibre
of the Montana-bred cowpunch
er who is here for a holiday.
They come though. They were
here last and they will be here
this year in all the bravery of
their leopard skin chaparajos,
their embroidered shirts and
beaded vests, but they won't get
the big money, the Powder River
boys have their eyes on that
The picturesque professional with
his wild west monikers serves his
purpose however. He is a great
success in the parade and the wo
men rave over him
he Round-Up this year be
gins July 2nd and winds up on
the night of the Fourth. It is a
big job to handle the game, be
cause Miles City's plans are far
extensive than they
more were
Ic.st year, but there are twelve de
partment men on the job as sup
erintendents and each has his
work cut out.

these are selected at the sales
ya:ds from among the thousands
of range horses sold at these
auctions, others are sought out by
scouts employed for this work.
Grant Hostetter, an old range
rider, has been scouring the coun
try for weeks, and has picked up
some fancy horses.
There is only one herd of the
old-time long horned Mexican
cattle in the country. These
were brought up from the border
just before hell broke loose in
Mexico. The association has se
cured sixty of these for use in
contests.
Two full blood buffaloes train
ed to buck and never yet con
quered by a rough rider belong
to the association.
Last year the seating capacity
at the fair grounds was severely
taxed, this year it will be
doubled.
An old stage coach, Conistoga
wagon, oxen, wolfers outfits and
other paraphernalis, corrals,
chutes, etc., are all part of the
props" of the association.
There will be three Indian
camps, the Crows who were here
last year, the Cheyennes and the
Sioux from Standing Rock Reser
vation, South Dakota. Two
Moons, the last surviving chief,
who led the Cheyenne wing of
the allied tribes in the Custer
massacre and Curly, the Crow
scout, the sole survivor of the
fierht will be here with their peo
ple.

BEACH, Cne Night Only, Wed-
Gollnar Bros.
Here
The Gollmar Brothers show
which exhibits in Beach, Wed
nesday, July 1, features every
thing connected with it, from the
street parade to the concert. The
press of other cities have made
the most favorable comment for
Gollknar Brothers parade. Even
when the show visits territory
where it has never been, its
magnificient street pageant so
agreeably surprises the public
that they are sure to crowd the
tents.
It is in the parade that the
management of a circus can show
to good advantage the stability
and character of the aggrega
gation. If it is a cheap concern,
giving only ordinary perform
ances, its parade will tell the
tale. If it is really meritorious
the street display will demon
strate the fact. The splendid
equipment of the great Gollmar
'Brothers Circus is shown to ex
cellent advantage in the big par
ade, and it is always compliment
ed. The horses are in fine trim,
and the tableaux, wagons, dens,
cages* and chariots are resplen
dently decorated with costly
carvings, gilt and varnish. An
unusually large number of dens
are open in the parade, and the
general public is given a free ex
hibition of a fine array of wild
animals. All in all, it is pro
nounced by many, the finest and
best circus display ever seen up
on any streets But it is in the
circus performance that the show
excels.
The parade of the Gollmar
Brothers show will start from lot
at 10 o'clock sharp, and traverse
the principal streets.

KILL ALL WEEDS
Cultivate to Keep Down Weeds and
8ave Moisture—Leave Fall Growth
for Winter Protection.
A
aMMS
By EDWARD KLEBAUM, Egeland,
N. D.
First, I look for well drained soil,
free from alkali. From what little ex
perience I have had, I would fall plow
alfalfa ground at least eight inches
deep. In the spring I would disk it
two or thre$ Umes so as to kill all
weed's'possible before sowing see3.
Never set the disk very angling as this
will allow it to go in too deep and
loosen up the ground' too far down.
About the middle of May, sow the al
falfa seed broadcast and harrow down
three or four times.
Keep stock off the first year. Clip
the alfalfa and if the weeds have tar
ken hold to any great extent leave the
clippings right on the ground. My hall
acre which I sowed-/this spring is on
ground that had been manured quite
heavily in 1911 and spring of 1912 and
it is very weedy, but I have clipped
the patch off twice to keep down the
weeds, and the alfalfa looks strong and
some of it is in bloom. A sufficient
stand must be left in the fall to catch
the snow so as to keep it from winter
killing. If the ground is high, a light
dressing of manure containing lots ot
Btraw, will do the work. I tried this
on a small patch that survived the
drouth last summer, and it wintered
fine. I hope to keep on trying until I
can Sow at least thirty or forty acres
of it every year or two, as we must get
dairy cows and stop raising so much
wheat
CUT TOO CLOSE
Believes Alfalfa Should Not Be 8own«
With Nurse Crop—Don't Pasture
First Year.
By C. H. Peterson, Bisbee, N. D.
I seeded about half an acre of alfalfa
some years ago. The second year I
cut the first crop for hay the second

ALFALFA ON BENCH LAND
(Jse Drill, Sow Shallow, Seven Pounds
to Acre—No Nurse Crop.
By C. P. COLLINS, Falrvlew, Mont.
To grow alfalfa here in Montana, 1
think the land should be in a good
state of cultivation. We usually sow
on land that has not raised more
than two or three crops. Plow eight
to ten inches deep in the fall or sum
mer. Disk until soil is free from
lumps. We level the land both ways
to get the ground smooth, even and
thoroughly packed. Seed any time
during the month of May when the
ground is in good condition. We try
to sow about seven pounds to the aore
without a nurse crop.
We always use a drill and sow shal
low—about 1% to 2 inches deep. If
land has been cropped for a number
of years, it should be well manured.
Our land does not require inoculation.
With proper cultivation I think alfalfa
can be raised successfully on ahy of
our bench land in t£3tern jloiitaua.
