GLENDIVE, MONTANA, THURSDAY. SEPT. 22, 1910OUR AIM: TO PUBLISH A NEWSPAPER.Great Exhibition At FairHelena, Sept. 20.—Helena is to be ‘the only city in the northwest where I there will be an actual aeroplane exhibition this fall. Aviator J. C. Mars,: who was under contract to make flights | at both Helena and Spokane, has cancelled his engagement in the latter city and immediately after the close of the Montana state fair he will proceed to j Chicago, where he will be a contes-| tant in the aerial race from the windy city to New York for a purse of $25,-000.President T. E. Hammond of the Montana state fair has just returned from St. Paul, where he witnessed the achievements of Mars in a Curtiss biplane, and to state that he was pleased with the efforts of the bird man is putting it mildly.“One must see these feats to appreciate what they really mean,’’ said Mr. Hammond, “and the people of Montana are to be congratulated upon the opportunity so soon to be afforded them of witnessing the ascensions of this daring aviator. I saw him at the Minnesota state fair and he easily outclassed all others in the manipulation of his machine. He is as graceful as a bird and his control of the aircraft is little short of marvelous. I thought once that he had lost control and was doomed for a smashing of his machine and possible injury to himself, but it was only one of his evolutions to demonstrate how perfect his control is.“Mars will arrive in Helena in a few days now and make all advance arrangements for his daily flights at the Montana state fair. These are matters of more or less detail, but the one thing I would impress upon the public is that he will certainly be here and further that he will make daily flights from a starting point directly in front of the grandstand. That he will be greeted by immense crowds cannot be gainsaid. ’’All other plans are now complete for the fair—Sept. 26-Oct. 1, and in every respect it will be larger and greater than ever before. Helena extends a cordial welcome to all visitors.Fifteen new boxes have been added to the grandstand and all will be sold at auction at the secretary’s office Monday, September 26, at 10 a. m ,while the sale of reserved scats will be held the same day at 12:30 p. m., at the fair grounds.The Biue Mouse TempramuntIt is all on account of the “tempramunt’’ of the mischievous little “Blue Mouse’’ which causes most of the trouble in the play of the same name which the Messrs. Shubert will present at Glendive Opera House next Sunday, Sept. 25.The Blue Mouse is a dancer at a New York variety theatre who is employed by the secretary of a railroad president to flirt with his employer and gain the secretary’s promotion. The plan is really put into operation, and the Mouse has everyone scampering after instead of away from her.The play enjoyed a run of one year at the Lyric Theatre, New York, It remained for six months in Chicago, for the same length of time in Boston and for ten weeks in Philadelphia. Many of the New York critics declared it the best thing that Mr. Fitch ever did and this criticism undoubtedly holds true even until today, excepting of course his masterpiece “The City.”t\ al !rtIth! in : ery«wbedetoV.'diScene From The Blue Mo
