Big Leaser
Gets Results

VIM. Connerly, one of the larg-
est wheat growers on the reser-
vation, who has land leased just
north of Roman, was a caller at
the Pioneer office this morning.
He reports his new Big Four en-
gine and combine machine doing
excellent work and says that he
justcompleted cutting and thresh-
ing one 55-acre piece of fall wheat
from which he received 1876
bushels, or a little better than "a
bushels to the acre. He still has
600 acres of fall grain to cut, all
OF which he says is as good if not
better than the 55-acre tract. In
addition he has 400 acres of spring
wheat which he says is ''just
fine" and equal to anything he
has ever seen in many years of
grain farming. There is no
country that beats this valley"
said Mr.. Connerly.

So Bushels
Per Acre

A. E. Rowley comes to the
front this week with the largest
yield of wheat so far reported.
He threshed Is acres of fall
wheat this week which yielded
him an average of So bushels
per acre, or 795 bushels all told.
This wheat was on we'll titled
soil, where there had been po-
tatoes and garden last year, and
demonstrates what may be ex-
pected when the ground is placed
in proper condition before seed
ing.
Mr.. Rowley is on the Juel
Matte allotment on Mud creek
about five miles north and east
of Roman, and is a good farmer,
as his crop will bear testimony.

March HOneWard

The four companies of the 18th
infantry, stationed at Fort Mis-
soula, which have been camping
on Flathead lake for ten days
past, marched through Roman
Saturday on their way home.
The first day they made from
Poison to Post creek, arriving in
Roman about II o'clock.
As soon as they reached Roman
each and every one of them filled
their canteens with artesian
water, being lined up for that
purpose, and it was the universal
expression Of all that it was the
first good drink of water they
had had since leaving Roman on
the way to the lake.
Col. Kennon expressed himself
as being pleased with the prac-
tice march, and the other officers
said they had a pleasant time
while in camp and on the march.
One officer said he intended to
buy a farm up this way before
the price was beyond his means,
as he was satisfied the Mission
valley was the best farming reg
ion in all the west. That is the
sentiment expressed by each and
everyone who visits the valley.

Fourteen Schools in
School District No. %

have made it a condition prece.
dent to the establishment of such
schools that the particular local.
ity must provide the building.
After this is done the board pays
$40 per month as rent, the local
ity to furnish the stove and fuel
also. This action is taken for
the reason that in almost every
instance people who do not have
children to send to school have
helped to build the school houses
which are used for other than
school purposes, and to even
matters up the board rents the
buildings.
Everything considered, the
school facilities in district No.
% are better than many have
hoped to have. It will now be
possible for almost all children to
attend school this winter and not
be compelled to travel any great
distance to do so.
Mrs. Marshall, the county su-
perintendent, was expected to be
here at the Sunday and Monday
meetings but was unable to do
so, and sent a message regret
ting her inability to attend. She
has been a great help in securing
the schools.

Great Minds Differ.

It is remarkable how great
minds can differ so greatly.
Democratic leaders in congress
express themselves as being very
we'll pleased with the work ac-
complished and their attempt to
accomplish. They point with
pride to the many acts passed
during the extraordinary session
of congress just closed and say
had it not been for the attitude
of President Taft and his veto of
some of the most important of
the bills which were passed, that
it would have been a history max
ing epoch. On the other hand re-
publican leaders say that the
democrats have done nothing to
brag about. That they have
bluffed all the time and did no.
thing of value. Progressive re-
publicans are gloating over their
being able to put the president in
a hole (from which he will ex-
tricate himself with difficulty
and their coalition with progress
sive democrats to pass progress
sive legislation. It seems from
this distance as if it were a
dawn battle for the two old
parties and that if anyone is
entitled to any credit it must be
given the progressive element.

New York has just achieved
the distinction of being the first
city in the western hemisphere
and the second in the world to
pass the 100000 mark in popu-

this record was gained was not a
wide one since, according to the
figures of the board of health the
greater city now contains exactly
5000, 4N people. This estimate
is based on the Official census

ceptions those approaching him
should prepare for a chill An
equipment of overcoat, earmuffs

Finding that some of his con-

by floating icebergs and biting

from the door of his committee
room. The anxious New Yorker
who now seeks his senator may
wander up and down a dim,

Proved Up This Week

Quite a number of homestead
ers made final communication proof
this week before Coker F. Rath-
bone, U. S. Commissioner, in
Roman. On Monday testimony
was offered by six claimants,
that is Jay H. Vaughan, G. How
ard Smith, Onis F. Smith, Frank
D. Griffin, Frank O. Adams and
H. H. Goble, the latter of St.
Ignatius.
In every instance the home
steader had lived on the land
faithfully and had made improve
ments many times more extern
sive than the law requires in
order to perfect a title to the
land.
Some few of the commuters
will leave the country temporar-
lily, among the number being Jay
H. Vaughan who has gone to
Marion, Ohio, and G. Howard
Smith who left for North Yak
ina, Wash. Both gentlemen
stated, however, that it was with
regret they were compelled to
leave the Mission valley at this
time and that they expected to
return in a short Tins and resume
their residence in Montana.
Both will be missed by the good
people in the west of Roman
neighborhood.
On Tuesday Miss Isabelle
Trumbley, Miss Frances Loos-
more, Miss Bertha Edmondson,
Daniel J. Miller, Theo. Anderson,
Julius Rinke of Roman, and E.
3. Finn submitted their proof.
Of these Miss Trumbley may
leave soon and Theo. Anderson
will again engage in teaching at
Minneapolis. Miss Loosemore
may also go to Spokane in week
or two.
Yesterday Jas. r. Mcconnell,
H. B. Wright, Joseph Gossett
and j. d. Tredway submitted
their testimony and will be re-
lieved of further residence on
the land, unless they wish to.

taken in April, last year, which
gave New York a population of
4,766, 1873, so that within a period
of Is months there has been an
increase of 233, ,574, equal to the
population of a large sized city.
Since 1898, when the population
of New York was but 3,572, 418,
there has been an increase of So
per cent, a striking record in
itself. This great concentration
Of population has not been injur-
ious to the health of New York's
citizens, however. On the con-
trary figures for the last 13 years
show a falling off in the death
rate. According to the figures
of the health department for the
past week the death rate was
only a fraction over IA to each
1000 inhabitants, which is / per
cent lower than the lowest record
of the last 13 years. The infant
mortality among children less
than l year Of age was 156 in
1000, against 235 in the corre-
spending week for 1910. At the
present rate of increase it is fig
ured that New York will outstrip

Uncle Sans Big Guns

Apparently there is no limit to
the range of the big gun on
Uncle Sans ships and coast de-
fenses. A few years ago a gun
which could shoot accurately a
distance of 10 miles was consid-
cred remarkable, but the latest
acquisition to Uncle Sans arm
ament will demolish any battle
ship or fortification now in ex-
istence at a distance of Is miles.
When it ia considered that dur
ing the civil war only so years
ago, two miles was the greatest
range possible with the guns in
use at that time, the range of
the new 14-inch death dealers
seems phenomenal.
These new guns will be noun
ted on the largest of the new
battleships, the Texas and the
New York, both of which are of
the Delaware type, and it is
claimed that the perfection of
these guns will make these two
ships the most powerful and the
most to be dreaded in the world.
The new gun is SO feet 6 1-2
inches long and weighs, stripped
62.6 tons. The diameter at the
breech is AZ inches, and at the
muzzle "a inches. Each one will
cost $74, 40, and the carriage up
on which the gun is mounted will
add $50, 600 to this price.
At the muzzle the gun has a
velocity of 1900 feet a second
and the power behind the pro-
jectile will drive the latter at the
rate of 8 miles in 25 seconds. The
penetrating power of the 14-inch
monster is IL inches of the best
face-hardened steel at 8 miles,
11.3 at 10 miles; 1O.7 at IL miles,
and nine inches at Is miles. The
projectile weighs 1,4O0 pounds,
is 5 1-2 feet in length and costs
$3.50. It is loaded with a burst
ing charge Of 45 pounds of dun
nite," the most powerful explos-
i've known. The powder charge
used behind the projectile to give
it velocity consists of four bags
Of 80 pounds each of smokeless
nitrocellulose.
The cost of these guns at first
sight appears immense, but when
it is considered that, far over the
horizon, one shot from one of
these monsters would batter and
possibly destroy any battleship
now afoat, and that a single
round from 10 Of them at a dis
tance of Is miles would be suf-
ficient to lay New York in ruins,
the primary cost does not appear
80 great.
