the recent election the county
seat was removed from Libby to
Eureka. This is reversed in
decision written by Associate JUS
tice Holloway and dissented from
by Associate Justice Smith. The
opinion also raises the question
as to the location of county seats
n several other counties.
The clause in the opinion which
determined the matter reads:
1.-The act creating Lincoln coun-
ty in so far as it attempts to
make provision for the perman-
ent location of the county seat, is
unconstitutional and void, being
a local and special act directly
propitiated by section 26, article
4 of the constitution. This con-
clusion does not interfere in the
least with the application of the
principle of local self govern
ment. We do not hold that the
people of Lincoln county may not
by vote determine where the
permanent county seat shall be
located. We do say that if they
proceed to that end, it must be
done under a general law of uni
form operation"
In the opinion the court also
says.
'Flathead, Teton, Granite,
Carbon, Sweetgrass and Sanders
counties were created by special
acts similar to the one now under
consideration. But Valley, Ra-
valli, Broadwater and Rosebud
were created by special acts in
which no provision whatever was
made for the permanent location
of the county seat in any one of
these counties, while in the case
of Powell county it would appear
that the legislature undertook to
definitely locate the county seat
of that county in the act of cre-
ating it,"

Mission Ia
Roman 13

The Roman Grays went down
to St. Ignatius Sunday as per
schedule, to play the return game
with the Red Men of that prom
ising burg. The start from Ro-
nan was under difficulties, as the
roads were very muddy from the
rains of the past week and the
lack of vehicles with which to
convey the players. A. M. Ster-
ling furnished one team, Louis
Clairmont came forward with his
and another was secured from
Orson Dupuis. At about 9:30 the
boys got off. The day was a
pleasant one after the start was
made, and those who went down
were more than repaid for the
trip. There is some of the finest
prospects for wheat, oats and
barley along the line one ever
saw. The winter wheat in most
places is as high as the fences
and the heads are SO long and
heavy it will be a miracle if the
wheat stands up under the weight
of the grain. The spring wheat
is as good as could be, and the
farmers are all shaking hands
with themselves and their neigh
bors this year. A number of the
homesteaders have been blowing
the extra ground and getting
ready for the sowing of winter
wheat this fall, and everything
indicates that there will be one

ing up like magic and the growth
of the Mission town in 1911 will
be surprising. The enterprisine
business men there are to be con.

it is no doubt they will be amply
repaid for the expenditures they
have made.
There were a large number o1
people in St. Ignatius Sunday tt

was in good spirits over the rains
which have drenched the valley
this year and made prosperity
certain. 1t gives them encour.

league or ex-league players and
they were an unusually strong
bunch. At practice before the
game this was evidenced by the
way they went at their work,
and during the game it became
more evident every moment.
Eichman was in the box for the
Tigers and his Spokane North
western league uniform told
where he came from. He was
effective, too, as the score will
indicate, His support was good,
and had it not been, the Grays
would have had the tail of the
Tiger so twisted it would not
have Strengthened out again this
summer. He needed all the snap
and vinegar they had with them
to win. They were a muchly
surprised bunch of Tigers long
before the game ended. For
seven innings they wore express
sions of surprise on their faces
and were beginning to change to
one of fear and chagrin before
they had rounded the bases. Be-
ing veterans at base ball, they
had evidently came here believ-
ing that all they had to do was
to hit the ball and run, but that
was what worried them they
could not nit it. Earl Wagner
was in the box for Roman and his
head work and absolute control
was a revelation to all the fans.
There is no doubt but what he
pitched the headiest game ever
thrown in Roman.
The game in detail was a
pitcher battle in which both sides
had very little advantage. The
support to each pitcher was
equally as good. 1t was an even
thing with no scores up to the
last Of the last half Of the seven
tn inning when Roman made one
earned run. Stottler singled for
a safe hit, stole second and was
advanced one base by Claud
Wagner's sacrifice, and scored
when Tiffany sacrificed. This
ended the run getting for Ro-
nan and in the eighth Eickman
the Spokane Lacquer with two
strikes on him reached for a ball
intended to be a wide one and
made a scratch hit which went
over the fence. Broughtor
fielded the ball to Stottler at
third base and was relayed to
the home plate in time to catch
the runner fully Is feet away.
The Tigers claimed it for a home
run because it went over the fence
and some discussion arose over
the claim being allowed. Respon'

5000 People Celebrate
In Roman July Fourth

The celebration in Roman was
all that was planned. Every de-
tail was carried out just as plan
ned and there was not word Of
complaint or censure during the
whole day. 1t was conceded by
all strangers present that it was
the best celebration they had at
tended for years, and will be re-
ferred to for years as the one
standard by which all celebra-
tions are to be measured. It
was the first real old fashioned
9TH Of July celebration ever held
on the reservation. -
Early in the day the weather
was not as favorable as could
have been desired, but this did
not deter those who had made up
their minds to celebrate in Ro-
nan from coming into town. The
buggies, autos and farm wagons,
all loaded to the full capacity, be-
gan arriving while the day was
still young. All forenoon the
stream of vehicles kept up and
by IL o'clock it was conservative
ly estimated that fully $500 peo-
pie were in town, and before 3
o'clock probably 500 more were
here. It was a great crowd of
orderly people, all bent on cele-
brating the national day in real
old fashioned style. Not a dis
cordant note was heard all day,
everything passing off pleasantly
and everybody enjoying them
selves immensely.
The first thing in the morning
was a base ball game between
the strong U. S. R. S. team and
the Grays. Owing to the late
hour Of starting the game it was
decided to only play six innings,
and at the finish Of the game the
score was Roman, z; U. S. R. s..
4. Covall was in the box for the
vi.itors for the first four innings
and the Grays met his delivery
in fine shape. Taylor, for the
Grays, was quite effective and
held the water boys to three hits.
His support was better than Co
wallis, and the result was that
Roman won easily. This was the
game in which errors on the part
of the U. S. R. S. were disastrous
to them, and it was the first
game they have lost this season.
The game took up all the time
until the dinner hour and the
speaking was postponed until
just before the big game between
the Missoula Tigers and the
Grays. The great number Of
people who were in town had as.
sembleu r.. the grandstand ano
around the grounds and after
listening to the reading of the
Declaration of independence by
A. NJ. Thornburg, John H. Tol
an, the orator of the day, was in
troduced. Mr.. Tolan, with thai
acumen which has characterized
him all through his professional
career in the state, readily
grasped the situation and an
nounced in the start that he
would cut his remarks short. HI
said that he was too great a love-
of the national game to make
speech when a game was waiting
to be played. His remarks occu
pied about 20 minutes and were
to the point all the time. 1t wa'
disappointing to a great many
who would have been pleased tt
have heard him talk longer, an,
many were the remarks hear,
from the assembled people tina
they hoped for an opportunity t.
hear him speak when nothing
was on to urge him to stop. H
X will be invited to Roman again.

Quite a number of the events
were never filled. 1t is strange,
too, that with cash prizes more
of the minor sporting events
went by without anyone entering.
There was a bout not on the
official program which was pulled
off in the opera house about 6
o'clock pm, and that was a
glove contest between Jack Rich
ards of Roman and Kid Doyle Of
Butte. The contest ended in the
middle of the second round by
Richards pulling his glove away
from Doyle's face so fast ana
hard as to make the latter take
the count.
The Indians were here in num-
bers. They came the day before
and kept coming, and formed a
big factor in the celebration.
They dressed in their best early
in the morning and paraded
through the streets to the great
delight of a large crowd of spec
tators. Their head dresses and
fancy costumes made a spectacu.
lar display and everybody was
pleased. 1t can be said also that
the Indians were pleased with the
treatment given them by the peo-
pie here. They were we'll fed
and made welcome. About two
hundred Indians all told were
camped here, besides those living
nearby.
The COMMITTEES worked hard to
make a success of the day. To
M. ]. Benedict, John P. Swee,
VIM. Engle, Stanley Scearce, j.
A. Lemire, Ben Denison and J.
D. Larson must be given great
credit. They worked all the time
and kept things going.
There was band music all day.
The boys have not practicec
together but three times and still
everybody enjoyed the music.
We all know now that there car
be had a band in Roman and the
next thing to do is to have it.
With the people living here cap.
able of pulling off so successful
a celebration, it will not be a hare
matter to maintain a good banc
with the material at hand tt
make it.
The day ended without a ser
ious accident, no one was very
full, no one here but what en-
joyed himself, and to our Polsor
friends we will say we had thu
first old fashioned celebration
without any of your help except
your presence. Come again.
