Lean Oysters Supply
Washington's Market

If your Christmas oysters are not fat
don't complain. Washington dealers, as
well as the handlers in the seaboard
States, are bemoaning the fact that
they can no longer make lean oysters
fat. They admit lean oysters will not
please the trade. but that everybody
knows 1t takes more lean oysters to
make a quart than 1t does fat oysters.
The pure food board of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has Cancelled the
regulation permitting the fattening OF

PAY FOR
NATIONAL GUARDS
TO CONE UP SOON
Pepper Bill, an Early Meas
ure for House, Believed to
Have Safe Backing.

One OF the measures that will be
strongly urged in Congress after the
holidays will be the bill for Federal nav
to the organized militia OF the country
or the national guard. The House Com
mittee on Military Affairs will take up
this bill, which was introduced by Com
gresham Pepper of Iowa, as soon as
the army appropriation bill is out OF the
committees
The supporters Of the bill are san
guine. They believe the House COM
mittee will report the bill; that II will
command a majority in the House, and
that 1t will be passed by the Senate.
This belief Is based on careful can
vases of the House and Senate which
have been made by parties who want
the legislation. Officials Of the Ma
tional Guard Association have looked
into the situation in the House and
Senate and are convinced the bill will
have a majority,
To Push Drill Attendance.
The bill for Federal pay to the ma
tional guard or organized militia is in
tended to allow guardsmen a small sum
Tor attending drills and devoting their
time to the work Of the guard. The
total cost to the country at the outset
1t Ii estimated, would be about $4,000 600
This would Increase considerably later
ON, depending on the degree of efficiency
OF the national guard and the extent to
which guardsmen regularly attended
drills. Under the present arrangement,
II IL found difficult to get men out to
drill regularly.
Heretofore there have been compare
lively little interest shown in the pro-
posed legislation in the South. But in
recent months, there has been strong
support for the bill mustered in the
South and an awakened interest in the
national guard Is noticed there.
Old Guardsmen Support Bill.
The national guard all over the coun-
try is greatly interested In the proposed
legislation. Every old guardsman in
Congress is giving II a lift. Congress-
man Pepper is an old guardsman.
The Government already expends
about 100000 a year on the national
guard. 1t is believed that is an argu-
ment for Federal pay, for the reason
that by expanding the additional amount
the efficiency of the guard will be pro-
NOTED and II can be put on a basis that
Will make 1t a real reserve for the regu-
lar army.
Guardsmen are opposing the scheme
to consolidate the division of militia
affairs In the War Department with the
general staff Militia enthusiasts say II
this Is done the wishes Of the guard will
be presented to Congress only through
regular army channels and they think
this is not entirely to their advantage.

Tigers Meet
Hard Luck
Lose to Giants in the
Ninth Inning of a
"Cinch" Game

After resting Tuesday, the Tigers
went over to Beach to play the
Giants, on Wednesday. The play
ers were all in good condition and
had their fighting spirit, and the
way they went after the Giants for
the first eight innings was well
worth seeing, and the Beach fans
gave up all hope after the first few
innings.
The Giants had Stratton, Ryder
and Moran, of the Bismarck team,
in their lineup, but in our opin-
ion, they would have been very
much better off with their regular
lineup, and Armatrout in the box
instead Of Stratton, VINO was 'pick-
ings" for the Tigers. McGarry
hit one Of Stratton's benders over
the center field fence for home
run in the third inning, bringing
MeIander and Peterson in ahead of
him.
About the seventh inning it
looked as though it would rain be-
fore the game was finished and
some Of the spectators, who had
money on the game, requested the
players to play fast and finish the
game before it started to rain. The
Wibaux player, in the eighth and
ninth innings, did not endeavor to
score, III fact they played horse.
In tie last half Of the ninth in
ming, the Giants, after having two
men out. with a man on first base,
scored eight runs on five hits, two
bases on balls and two errors. This
was one of the unaccountable freaks
of baseball. with the luck all in
favor Of the Giants, who are to be
commended for retaining their
fighting spirit up to the last minute.
Cadreau pitched an excellent
game, having perfect control, good
curves and a world Of speed.
Following is the box score:

Popular Young
Wibauxites wed

On last Thursday at high noon,

wedding, when Chas. H. Dahl and

Stack officiating.
Only a few intimate friends and
relatives, including the Misses
Kane and Mcdonald and the
groom's brother, John, of Camp
Crook, and his brother, Fred, and
the BRIDES parents, of this city.
The event had been very quietly
arranged, hence, it came as a
pleasant surprise to their many
friends in this city. Shortly fol-
lowing the ceremony the happy
young couple boarded the west
bound passenger at Glendive and
started on their wedding tour to
the Pacific coast, where they ex-
pect to remain for month.

Mr.. and Mrs. Rucker departed on

Custer County
Up and Doing
D aW son County's
Road Builders are
Asleep at theSwitch

The Custer county commission
ers are apparently wide awake
to the absolute necessity of good
roads, especially in the thickly
settled farming communities, and
are right up and doing when it
comes to establishing and i'm
proving them-which leads us to
believe that the Dawson county
commissioners are "asleap at the
switch.
Commissioners Cameron and
Furnish, of Custer county, ar
rived from Miles City last night,
and went out in autoes today to
view that portion of the Custer
county road leading south and
west from this city. on which
they contemplate many improve
ments. In fact they have already
made splendid progress in estab-
fishing and improving the roads
within their territory, and when
their present plans have been
completed, Dawson county will
have to sit up and take notice.
Messrs. Cameron and Furnish
were guests of the Wibaux Club
on the evening of their arrival in
the city, when they stated that
extensive improvements would
at once be made on the roads
south, having tilis Week shipped
one of the largest road graders
made and a number Of small
scrapers, and other necessary
equipment to this point. In ad-
dition to grading and filling, a
number Of bridges and culverts
will also be put in.
This action on the part of the
Custer county commissioners cer-
tainly must be gratifying to the
farmers in the Edge Hill and
Dennis sections, who expect to
have large crops to market with
in a few more months. and, right
here, we might also state that
with equal dissatisfaction may
the farmers in this section Of
Dawson look upon the negligence
of their commissioners in this re-
spect.
In referring to good roads trib-
utary to Wibaux, it's sufficient to
say, we have not even got streets
and in all probability will not
get them so long as we depend
upon the county. They have
been waiting for the town of
Wibaux to incorporate and take
the burden off their shoulders,
and in all probability Wibaux will
also have to form a new county
in order to secure passable county
roads. From good authority, the
Pioneer learns that one of our
commissioners was heard to re-
mark not long ago that Cham
Der Of Commerce, road viewers
and automobile clubs could all go
to H." so far as he was con-
cerned, and that they would
build roads when they got
ready. - It might be we'll for
that honorable commissioner to
remember the old slogan: IF
you can't push, pull-if you can't
pull, get out of the road
