ton and BoIinger told him to let that
Mexico graft alone. The man lost
something like $40 and wanted to
get his money back. He said he did
not know the difference between a
civil and criminal suit.
His innocence in the matter might
have been given more credit had he
not as late as Saturday night induced
Clad Hamilton, an attorney, to de-
fend him by telling him that he had
never seen Bolinger but once, mad new
err known the assistant county attorney
and had only asked him on that oc
casion to have these land sharks ar
rested.
Bolinger, upon winning the suit,
paid the costs of the case and left a
receipt for the $25, wholly satisfied
with having removed any reflections on
his conduct as an officer. Clad Hamil-
ton got no fee from his client.

Finally Got
A Good Well

DR.. Resner, who lives south of
Crow creek in 1921, about eight
miles southwest of Roman, has
tried three times to secure a we'll
on his homestead but has finally
succeeded in finding that which
he long hath sought. In his first
effort to get a we'll he dug to the
depth of 81 feet and gave it up
as a bad job. The next time he
did not become discouraged until
down 100 feet, and then he made
up his mind to try in another
place. This time was the charm
as he only got into the earth IL
feet before he had a three-foot
supply and still has it, which he
pronounces A No. l water in
every particular.
RIA. Calkins living in 1920, has
been making heroic efforts to get
a we'll on his homestead and has
let a contract for same. The
contractor has been steadily at
work and reached the depth of a
little over 400 feet with a 6-inch
drill before encountering water.
During the past week, however,
water was struck and indications
now are that the supply will be
sufficient.
While it is a little discouraging
that some of the wells are at
such a great depth, it is encour-
aging to know that water can be
secured by going after it. The
question of good water for do
mestic purposes is the most vex-
atious of all the problems the
homesteaders have to encounter
and to know that it can be gotten
is something to be pleased with.
In the case of DR.. Resner it
seems that water is like gold, it
is where you find it, and if it can
be found at a shallow depth, then
so much the better.

Get Busy
And Register

A new registratinn law was
passed at the last session Of the
legislature regarding the manner
and times Of registration. The
new law provides that when a
voter is once registered he is not
compelled to register again un-
less he moves away from the pre-
cinct in which he lived when reg.
istered before. Every voter must
register again, however. Voters
may become registered by ap-
pearing before any notary public
or justice Of the peace and sign
ing the affidavit required. This
matter should have the attention
Of every legal voter at once, as
procrastination may lead many
to neglect the important part of
becoming a voter too long. All
those who have lately located in
the Mission valley should attend
to this registration matter now.
They will hold the balance of
power in the next election in
Missoula county, and some i'm
portant matters affecting each
and every one of us is sure to
be before the electorate of the
county.
Get busy and register.

War has been declared be-
tween Turkey and Italy, but up
to date it is more on paper than
an actuality. No battles have
been fought and the only mani
festation of hostilities has been
by Italy landing a force of men in
Tripoli, which is the object of the
war. Italy demands that Turkey
cede to her the territory of Trip
oil, but the Porte declines and
announces that she will fight for
the principle involved. Reports
indicate that an effort will be
made to incite a religious war by
the Turks and should this be ac-
complished it will be some strug-
gle before ended. There is also
apprehension that 1.-THE Balkan
states will arise and that a gen.
eral breaking up of peaceful re-
lations with Turkey will be the
result. 1t has been a long time
since Europe has had a real war
and some of the fighters over
there seem anxious for activity.
They may get plenty.

Big Railroad Strike

The threatened strike Of the
shopmen on the Hartman lines
to enforce recognition of their
newly-organized federation be.
came a reality Sept. 30. The
number of men who quit in the
Is states affected is estimated at
between 10000 and 1000 men,
although Julius Krutschnitt, vice
president of the Hartman lines,
says the number is much smaller.
Reports from most Of the points
indicated that the men walked
out without demonstration and
no rioting was reported. Traffic
continued without interruption,
and the railroad heads say that
the shipments strike, even if ex-
tended, would not interfere with
transportation.
The response to the strike
order was general through the
Middle West and in the South.
The men had received notices
from the international presidents
of the five crafts directly invol-
we'd and when the hour came the
men laid down their tools and
left.

What is a Booster?

DR.. Resner paid the Pioneer a
highly appreciated compliment
last Sunday when he referred to
the paper as a booster for the
reservation country" That is a
characterization which is never
offensive to this paper, while to
say it was a boomer would be a
different matter. A booster is,
as this paper looks at it, a person
who says a good word for his
town or vicinity all the time, but
who still confines his sayings to
the truth. A booster is working
continually to improve the con-
ditions surrounding him and also
of those who live in the commun-
ity with him. He induces others
to come to the same locality that
they may benefit from the ad-
vantages to be derived there
from. On the other hand a
boomer tries to sell you some
thing without value, merely to
make money himself. He at
tempts to initiate the price of real
estate beyond it's real value, he
attempts to get your money and
give nothing Of value in return.
The Pioneer has endeavored to
boost for Roman and the Mission
valley every week now for rs
weeks, and expects to keep it up
indefinitely, That is, it expects
to follow the plan Of campaign
determined upon at the outset to
keep the town and valley before
the public at all times. It ex-
poets to tell you weekly of the
big grain crops raised by the far
mer, and of the big pumpkins,
potatoes, turnips, etc., the rich
soil produces. It will also tell
you of the sales of real estate, of
the comings and goings of you
and your neighbors, chronicle
the births of your babies and
hopes to never be called upon to
print your obituaries.
Such is the aim and intention
Of the Pioneer. 1t may be done
in a feeble way but it will be in
the best possible manner accord
ing to our ability to do it. 1t
may say some things you do not
like, and would rather not hear,
but that will be when in our best
judgment the occasion demands
!. it. The Pioneer asks in return
for this service, if it can be sc
called, that you do as DR.. Resne1
did speak kindly Of the paper.
