Good Rains,
Good Crops

The fine rains of the past week
have settled the question as to
the good crops to be raised in
this valley this year. 1t COM
menced to rain in Roman last Fri
day evening and never let up one
moment until late in the after
noon Of the next day. It rained
again during Saturday night, and
Sunday. Experiments demon
strated that the ground was
more thoroughly soaked than at
any previous time during the
year. Monday it rained again,
and Tuesday also. The roads
have all been very muddy and
farmers and tourists report it bad
going, but the disagreeable trav-
cling is mere than compensated
by the fact that the crops are
assured by the same agency that
makes the roads bad.
The fall wheat is just now in
the milk end the rain assures the
full filling of the heads. And
there are some heads to fill.
Samples of wheat have been
brought to town this week and
all Of them measure more than
six inches in. length, and with
the moisture in the ground to
make the heads all fill there is no
correct estimate to give of the
quantity per acre to be harvested.
It will be great, though.
Spring wheat and oats, flax,
and all hay crops were beginning
to show the need Of rain. To
such crops it adds much to the
expected yield. Spring wheat
and oats are now springing up
with a rapidity to astonish the
most enthusiastic and nothing
short Of a catastrophe can pre-
vent this portion of the country's
production from being a bumper
crop.
All this has made broad smiles
on the faces of the farmer, mer-
chant, mechanic, professional
man and all. It means dollars
where none would have been, it
means work for all, it means
prosperity for all.

The German government has
been conducting experiments to
find out what colors are hardest
to hit on the field of battle. Such
experiments are said to show
that light gray is the color first
lost to sight on the field, hence
the safest for all uniforms.

w. n. 1errlll, living west OF
town, was in Roman last Satur-
day and while here discussed the
proposition of telephone, light
and power for the people of this
town. He was connected with
the power and light company
owning the plant at Big Fork for
a number of years and was in
strumental in establishing the
: system in Columbia Falls. It
was Mr.. Terrill who made the
estimate of the cost at the time
the Columbia Falls people got
their system. He said Saturday
that the company would build in.
to Roman now should the citizens
here agree to take a stated
amount of the juice per month.
In canvassing the situation,
without going into details, it was
found that it was more than
probable a sufficient number Of
contracts could be made now and
he will take the matter up with
the company at once.
One concern in Roman alone
will agree to take more than one
fourth of the amount required to
be subscribed for, and that should
make it an easy matter to secure
the balance. It is quite probable
that every merchant will install
electric lights instead Of the gas
oline systems now used. It would
be much more economical and
they will have their places of
business much better lighted
also. This would also be true of
the residences, as kerosene would
cost much more per month for the
entire year than the electric
lights would, to say nothing of
the cleanliness and work invol-
we'd.
There would be another feat
ure worth considering. That is
the attraction the systems would
be to those who are seeking new
homes and places to engage in
business. People leaving the
towns and cities where light and
power are at their command and
service are loath to separate
themselves from this modern
necessity. If we had a light.
power and telephone system in
stalled they would have nothing
in this respect to complain of and
many new people will soon be
found establishing homes here.
The telephone exchange would
be another convenience which
the town has needed for a long
time. AT present there is only
one phone in town aside from
the reclamation phone, and those
who have occasion to use it or
are summoned by others at a
distance, must do much travelling
and are put to much trouble.
With a local exchange all this
would be avoided and the cost be
but very little more.

expressed by those who witnessed
the game last Sunday between
the Roman Grays and the U. S.
R. S, boys. 1t was a hummer.
Both teams had their base ball
eyes that day and the score will
indicate how exciting it was.
Earl Wagner was in the box
for the locals and held the swat
ters from the water furnishers
to three hits. His support was
Chris Vandenburg at the catchers
end, and the way Chris caught
was a surprise to everybody. He
never had a passed ball, he threw
to bases with precision and made
the best exhibition of real catch
ing ever seen on the Roman dia-
mond. He is an old catcher and
has not forgotten how.
There was but one earned run
and that was in the first inning.
Broughton struck safe and beat
the ball to first base, and scored
after one man was out on a sacri-
flee by Claude Wagner, after
stealing second. The rest of the
runs were on errors.
The. U. S. r. S. boys play a
mighty good game and the team
that beats them will have to play
ball all the time. They are also
nice fellows to play with, 40
quarreling, no chewing the rag,
no disputing the umpire, just
simply playing the game in a
pleasing manner, and the Roman
people enjoy the games very
much.
Harris, who was in the box for
the visitors, was very effective,
and while the Grays hit the ball
frequently, his support was such
that none of them crossed the
plate except in the first inning.
The hits were either right in
somebody's hands or else they
were fielded so brilliantly that
an out resulted. Stottler at
third base being especially
troublesome when the ball was
driven into his territory.
The lineup Was:
u. S. R. S. S.-Johnson, left
field; Thomas, catcher; Clark, 1st
base; Stottler, 3rd base; DePuy,
End base; Jones, shortstop;
Moody, right field; Gordon, GEN.
ter field; Harris, pitcher
Ronan---Broughton, left field;
Taylor, shortstop, T. Wagner, 1st
base; C. Wagner, End base;
Ryder, right field; F. Wagner,
center field; Tiffany, 3rd base;
Vandenburg, catcher; E. Wagner
pitcher.

The same teams will play again
next Tuesday forenoon, the game
to be called at 9 o'clock. This
will make two games for the 4th,
the other at l o'clock in the
afternoon. A charge of Is cents
for the whole day will be made,
this charge to be used to defray
the expenses of the visiting
teams. Those who intend to
celebrate at Roman will be af-
forded the opportunity of seeing
two games for the price of one.
Tickets will be sold at the gate
in the morning, good for all day.
Get your tickets at the gate and
keep them for the afternoon,
There will be a practice game
tomorrow evening between the
Grays and the Independents,

Muddy Roads;
Glad of 1t

The Kalispell delegates to the
Good Roads convention at Mis-
soula got stuck in the mud a
short distance north of Roman
last Monday and had to get a
team to pull their auto out. That
may not sound very good, but
we are glad of it. 1t shows that
there has been sufficient rainfall
in and around Roman to make the
roads so muddy that they should
be worked more than ever before
and also that there has been suf-
ficient precipitation to insure one
of the largest grain crops ever
raised in any country with the
same or much larger acreage of
grain sown. When the delegates
who were so unfortunate as to
get stuck in the mud tell their
fellow delegates at the conven-
tion of the fact, it will advertise
the rainfall of the Mission valley
as never before. Those who
hear Of the incident will go to
their homes and become innocent
boosters of the Mission valley
every time they spread the news
that the ''Kalispell fellows got
stuck in the mud near Roman. :"
1t sounds bad for our roads, but
it sounds remarkably we'll for the
country. Moral---Grade some
roads around here just a little
bit and we will find some other
way to advertise the productive-
ness Of the valley.

HAYDEN SHELTER WILL BE BLOWN

Ray Consolidated Will not Ship Concentrates After the
 First of January

GLOBE, Dec. 5.-The first unit of the huge smelter being built at Hay den by the American Smelling and Refining company, is to be blown in April l, and will handle ore steadily after that, drawing from the Ray Con solidated, the Ray Central, the Saddle Mountain which is to resume opera tion, from the Azurite group, and probably from the Mammoth district.
 The first and second units will con sist of reverbatory furnaces and con verters The smelter will have four units in all and will also have a blast furnace. A lead jacket will be installed for handling of silver-lead ores as soon as owners of sch prop critics are ready to ship.
 It is announced that the Ray Con- solidated will ship no more concen- trates after January l, since the Gug- genheims have agreed to handle all the Ray concentrates at this shelter

COPPER CONDITION IS ANALYzED
 IN BOSTON
Diminished During the Past Week but Prices for the Metal Hold Steady With Good Outlook
 for Future
SMALL FRY RUSH TO SELL
BuIIish and Small Concessions are Made

A luIl in the demand for copper, which is entirely natural in view of the extent of the recent buying move ment, has made for a moderate reac- tionary tendency in prices, although it is stated quite positively that the large agencies continues to ask 1894 cents for eletrolytic. Second hands and small holders, however, rendered little apprehensive by the cessation of the demand, and inclined to believe that the metal market has been ad- vanced too rapidly for it's own good, have been free sellers of the metal at a shade under the price quoted by the large agencies.
 And as a matter of fact it is to be feared that there is some measure of justification for this attitude. Altho there has been a good demand from consumers there is no doubt that dO- nestle and foreign speculation has been a prime factor in bringing about the advance To say that the recent rise of a cent-a pound in. the metal has been due entirely to an improve ment in fundamental conditions is ab- surd Inquiry indi, ates that while small consumers have bought pretty heavily on the advance, the large con sumers for the most part have re mained calm, confident that they would be able to obtain copper when they want it at a price well below that which the small fry have been scared into paying The present, it is pointed out, is not the first occasion during the past few years on which the metal has been sharply advanced through speculative operations in fashion that has given rise to the be- lief that the market at last had turn ed the corner Precisely the same result was accomplished only last summer, yet as on all previous occas- ions, it was followed by weeks and months of steadily dropping quota tions, the price ultimately declining below the point from which the pre- ceding upward movement had started Of course it does not follow from this that copper is destined to sink back after every advance, but the point which consumers seek to make is that there will continue to be sharp reac- tions after all advances that are due primarily to speculation, and that there is far more reason to believe that the latest advance has been the result of speculation than of actual improvement in.the state of trade.

BIG POWER FRANCHISE.

Last Monday afternoon, the board of supervisors of Mohave county granted a franchise to the Tracy En- gineering Company for the convey ing of electricity from a point on the Colorado river to various points in Mohave county, and especially to the McCracken mines. From this applica- tion for franchise we are to deduce the building of an immense dam on the Colorado river and the generation of many thousands of horsepower Under the benign influence of this cheap power the old McCracken mine, one of the greatest low grade prop critics in the territory will be revived and made an immense producer of gold, silver and lead. The big gen orator will also contribute largely to the successful operation of many of the low grade properties in the San Francisco district, and make it pos sible to pump the necessary supply of water for all milling purposes from the Colorado river.
 H. N. Tracey departed to San Fran cisco last Monday evening, where he and associates will work out the de- tails of the big Mohave County Miner. r-

ranted remains to be seen. In the meantime comment on the metal situ- ation in producing circles continues very bullish, the prediction being free ly made that the forthcoming copper statement as well as it's immediate successors will disclose a reduction in surplus stocks that will again start the price of the metal on its upward course And while there has been a material abatement in the speculation in the copper shares, these issues have acted in a way which indicates that those who own them are looking for further favorable developments in the metal situation at an early date.

The richest carload of ore that has been shipped out of Yavapai county in many years was that of last month, returns from which were made public at the offices of the Swastika Development company in Prescott The values reached SS,- S94.14. This shipment came from the old Silver Prince mine in the Brad shaw mountains and is noteworthy for the reason that this property has remained inactive for over twenty years.

GOOD PRICES AHEAD.

Geo. L. Walker of Boston, writes as iu.lows:
 Such figures as l am able to obtain indicate that the worlds output of cop per in 1911, will be very little if any greater than that of 1910 Next year production will increase 160,000, 900 and perhaps as much as 1SO,O00,0OO pounds or ' to per cent. It is easily possible, however, that consumption may increase 15 to 20 per cent. With business confidence restored, copper consumption in this country would immediately expand 30 to 40 per cent.
 Business confidence is now return ing, and if nothing happens to halt it the copper industry will soon be in a very prosperous condition. I eX- pect the metal to sell at 1924 or If cents next month and at 15 cents ear ly in 1912. Bearish arguments on cop per must be forgotten. The troubles of the producers are all behind them

 Tucson is now one of the greatest shipping points. for tungsten, one of the. rarest and, most valuable metals in the, mechanic arts in the world. This is the first announcement of the fact ever made in print.
 A carload of tungsten ore, taken from the mine of the Cody-Dyer Ari- zona Mining and Milling Co, near Tucson, now lies in the warehouse of the Southern Pacific railroad, sacked ready for shipment. It will be loaded today for shipment to Hamburg, Ger many, where it will be acidized and rendered ready for use in commerce and the arts.
 The mines are situated 45 miles north of Tucson and six miles from Oracle. The owners expect to devel- op a small town of their own for the convenience of their miners and mill operatives. There are now two 40-ton mills there, and another 100-ton mill will be put in immediately. The irn- mediate expenditure for machinery etc, will total nearly S100,000.
