Good Eating, Too.

The Pioneer has been partic-
ularly fortunate this week. In
the first instance, VIM. Arnold,
an old Wyoming friend, living
northeast of town, brought in a
sack of new potatoes and some
fine turnips, and then along
comes Col. Denny, mention of
which is made in another col
umn, and Wednesday Julius
Rinke brought in a lot more veg
etables. This last bunch is
revelation, as it was generally
supposed the country in which
he raised them, directly west
nearly to the Flathead river, was
so dry that nothing of this kind
could be produced, His turnips,
beets, carrots. ETC., are Of man.
moth proportions and would take
blue ribbons anywhere. Mr..
Rinke says he has some early
cabbage that would weigh seven
Or eight pounds, but that the
hail the other day completely
stripped them Of outer leaves and
left them ready for cooking. He
reports some damage also to his
grain crop, but not so much as
at first supposed.

which was suspected of carrying
liquor contrary to law, and while
keeping observation of the boat,
saw it circle several times around
the landing, without any lights
except to flash what they con-
si3ered signals, and finally a boat
was seen approaching the land
ing. G. A. Larson, the special
U. S. officer, says that upon the
occupant of the boat, a man
named j. Larson, arriving at the
dock, he was called upon to throw
up his hands. Twice was the
order repeated, and no attention
to the command being given, but
a demonstration being made as
if to pull gun, the officer fired,
striking Larson in the right
shoulder. At the time it was
thought he was fatally wounded
but later developments showed
that the wound was only painful
and Larson is now up and around.
The officers claim to have evil
dence that on a night or two pre-
vious several gallons of whiskey
were unloaded from a boat, and
suspecting that an attempt was
being made to repeat the per-
formance, were on watch to
catch the trafficers in this fluid.
Considerable excitement was
caused at Poison, and some loud
talk indulged in by some who
were not exactly informed as to
the situation.
1t can be said however that no
liquor was found in Larson's
boat, and if he was engaged in
landing the whiskey, no direct
evidence was found.
Word was received in Roman
yesterday that the U. S. officers
had arrested Larson, charging
him with introducing liquor onto
the reservation, and had un-
earthed 10 quart bottles of
whiskey which they charge he
brought to Poison on the night
he was shot. Another party was
also arrested, charged with be-
ing engaged with Larson, and
sufficient evidence is held by the
officers to warrant his conviction.
Under the circumstances it can
not be charged that the officers
were to blame entirely in his be-
ing wounded.

tory this year. The total is more
likely to exceed that figure than
fall below it, but 81, 900, 900 is a
safe estimate as the basis upon
which to calculate the amount
which will be distributed this
season.
The sum will be paid for the
product Of Is, 600 acres -adhering
to round numbers for the sake of
convenience. Taking previous
years as a criterion, the profit to
growers, after all expenses have
been paid, will be $25 an acre.
This will mean 1915, 900 clear
gain to the community. And it
should be borne in mind that
these figures include the pay
ment Of ruling wages to the
growers themselves.
The Billings sugar factory be-
gan operations in October, 1906,

600 acres for the first year. Each
season the acreage has been in
creased and each season has wit
messed more scientific cultivation
of the soil, better results and
more money to the growers. The
factory and the industry which
has been built up as a result of
its location have done more to in
crease land values than any other
single item of the country's de-
velopment. Billings Gazette.

Viewing Reser-

The Sentinel of Tuesday last

The Sentinel of Tuesday last
said:
The presence of County Com
missioner Dan McQuariie at Dix
on today is hailed with glad ac-
claim by the scores Of farmers
now raising bumper crops on the
reservation in what is know as
the B. T. Murray neighbolhood,
an agricultural district in the
vicinity of that town.
The reason of their jubilation
is that the presence Of Mr.. Nc
Quarrie accompanied by County
Surveyor Jim Bonner, as an
nounced in the Sentinel yester-
day, means that the commission
ers are about to begin the pre-.
liminary work on a splendid high
way that will ultimately connet>
Dixon with Poison at the foot of
Flathead lake. Mr.. Bonner will
survey and cross section a fill on
Grow creek and will definitely
decide as to the route for a new
road connecting the road from
Dixon up the Moiese valley with
the road from Crow creek to Ro-
nan.
1.-The immense crop that will
be harvested this year on the
reservation" said w. w. Dun
lap of Dixon, who is in Missoula
today, has served to emphasize
the Importance of a good wagon
road connecting the distli let men
toned with both Dixon and Pol
son, so a to frcilitate the market
ing of the farmers products.
The big yield this year will he
offset to a considerable extent in
what is known as the B. T. Muir
ray neighborhood by the great
loss of time and money incident
to the laborious haul on the pres
ent excuse of a road over steep
grades now offering the only
means Of communication between
this rich farming district and
either Dixon or Poison. We have
no fault to find with the Missoula
county commissioners. They are
doing splendid work. AS fast as
possible they are bettering the
highways of the country. We
are certainly glad to see this
work begin and are hopeful that
by next year Dixon, Roman and
Poison will be connected by a
first class road. If the road is
ready for use by the 1912 harvest
it will be necessary for Missoula
county to construct 81 miles and
the building of about nine miles
will devolve upon the Flathead
commissioners.
!, THE completion of this road
will be a tremendous factor in the
development Of the reservation
around Dixon. Incidentally it
will mean much for Missoula.
The Missoula commissioners ap-
pear to fully appreciate the fact
that the first step toward devel-
oping a country is to build good
roads,"

Practice March of Regulars

Four companies of the 18th In
fantry, stationed at Fort Mis-
soula, made a practice march
across the reservation as far as
Poison this week. They arrived
in Roman on Tuesday and re-
mained here over night, leaving
at 6 o'clock Wednesday morning
for Poison, where they expect to
remain for a few days and then
return to the post by forced
march.
The command is the 3rd batal-
lion, composed of companies l,
K, L and M, and was of1icered
as follows: 1t. Col. Kennon,
commanding officer; Major Ruff
ner, surgeon; Captain Burnside

Commissioner McQuarrie
Starts Work On Roads

County Commissioner Dan Nc
Qualrie and County Surveyor
Jas. H. Bonner have been in anc
around Ronan this week prepar.
ing to do some road work in this
vicinity. They came up by way
Of Dixon, Moiese and the west of
Roman road, and have been view
G out and locating the routes
upon which some needed work
will be done.
1t is the intention to commence
this work at once, and to get it
under way a new supervisor has
been named in place of Ed. Bald
wiz, who is too busily engaged
in his harvest fields to give the
attention to the roads they should
receive. burst has been
appointed and has entered upon
the discharge of his duties. The
first work will be repairing the
decking of the old Crow creek
nlidge. This will be only for the
pui p, 'se of making it safe during
the time the new bridge at that
point is being completed, and
another bridge is to be put in
near Wes. Lees, at which point
the culvert now in use is in a de-
plorable condition. Other bridges
will be built or repaired as nec-
essary. The lane leading north
from Roman will be widened and
graded, thus making a good road
where it is now almost impos-
sible to travel at all.
Mr.. McQuarrie will stay right
on the job until all the work is
we'll under way, and in fact, will
give it his special attention. He
recognizes the situation and says
that the roads will be fixed up
satisfactorily before they are
through this time. This action
on the part of the board will re-
ceive commendation on all sides.
The expenditure of the money
will be in a direction to be re-
numerative to every branch of
industry in this section, and will
remove the one subject of con-
siderable criticism offered by so
many visitors to this valley.
Heretofore it has kept one busy
apologizing to strangers about
the roads in the valley. They
have been told that wornout story
that the roads were to be fixed
up right away" so long that some
of us were becoming afraid to
use it much longer, and to real
ize that it is no longer a figure
of speech is certainly a relief.
The road to Dixon via Moiese
valley is now an assured fact.
The bridge across Grow creek at
the upper end of Moiese valley
is now being decked and the
grading of the approaches will
soon be finished. This will give
the people west of Roman a good
road to the railroad, and the peo-
pie Of Moiese a good road to Ro-
nan, which has been needed for
so long.
Feeder roads running north
and south from town will be
viewed and located, so that resi-
dents in that section may know
where highways are to be finally
established. This will be of much
benefit, and will prevent roads
being fenced up where it would
greatly inconvenience the many
settlers.
Taken altogether, the work
undertaken by the board is very
satisfactory to all the people of
the Mission valley, and the Pio-
neer congratulates all concerned
in the movement for good roads.

Big Land Show for
December 18th to 23rd

From December IL to Decem.
ber q, inclusive, the North.
western Land Products Show
will be held in the St. Paul Aud
itorium in St. Paul, Mimi, under
the auspices of the Northwest
ern Development league.
These dates were announced
early this week after advices had
been received from the various
western states and the dates of
other shows and expositions had
been considered. The dates Sc
lected gives those who will ex-
hibit in Chicago an opportunity
to bring their exhibits here. The
Chicago show closes December
The entire enterprise has but
one object in view, according to
officials of the league, to aid in
the development of Washington.
Oregon, Montana, Idaho, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Mime
sofa and Alaska.
It is more than simply a land
show, hence the Incorporated
name will be the Northwestern
Land Products Exhibit, and it
may include not only those things
grown, but things taken from
the soil. The show will be more
than a mere instrument for the
use Of the land man in selling
land. 1t will show graphically
what can be produced on land in
the territory west of the Twin
City, what it costs to produce
the crops and the profits.
St. Paul and Minneapolis busi-
ness interests have pledged their
cooperation on the theory that
every man and every dollar put
to work in the states interested,
will be a direct benefit to the
local markets.
The Northwestern Develop
ment league is defined by Secre-
tary Will A. Campbell as an
educational movement" and he
says, "after all, a booster is an
educator, seeking to make people
acquainted with the facts, and
only the facts, about a certain
section, state or city,
Launched on these lines,"
Mr.. Campbell said, the land
show to be given IN St. Paul is
to be void of selfish interests.
1t is not to make any money, and
the Northwestern Development
league has nothing to sell, it's
only object being to attract SET
tiers, arouse interest and educate
people who are moving west to
the advantages Of making their
homes in one of the states rep
resented in the league. It mat
ters not to this organization
whether man with his family
and capital settle in Minnesota,
go on to the Dakotas or Montana,
or choose a home on the far Pa
cific coast-just so they stay in
Twin City territory
It has been decided that H. H.
Bigelow and Eli Warner of St.
Paul, with P. L. Howe of Mime
apolis, will constitute the finance
committee, and that Will A.
Campbell, secretary of the league
will be general manager of the
show. He has been instructed
to secure the necessary experts
and work is under way for the
show.
Some interesting exhibits are
already in sight, including a
unique exhibit from Alaska,
which will be shown in the way
of an Alaskan village. There
are to be entertainment features
which will make the show an
attractive, mid-winter amuse-
ment.

the afternoon at South Canaan in ex. change with Rev. E. A. Hazeltine.
 The improvements in the front of Halls business block are completed and make an entirely different looking build ing of 1t, the new cement walk adding greatly to the appearance and value of the block. Work on the interior is now going forward, and the building will soon be ready for occupancy. It is un- derstood every room is already rented.
 Falls Village has not been doing as much bragging as Canaan over it's new sidewalks, but it has kept John Oudney busy for some time laying new walks and it's business center is ahead of Ca- naan's, so far as sidewalks are concerned. Not only have we more cement walks in the center, but nowhere here is there such ragged and disgraceful patch of walk as that around the drug store cor her by the railroad at Canaan.
