HOME FOR CONSUMPTrVES.

At the county board meeting last
Tuesday, afternoon DR.. H. i. Rosen-
berry brought before that body the
proposition of establishing a tubercu-
losis sanitarium in this vicinity. He
stated the average number of deaths
in this county yearly, and advocated
the establishment of an institution
for the care of tuberculosis patients.
Such an institution, he said; should be
designed to accommodate all classes
of people-rich or poor. Those who
can afford the expense should be
charged a fee for their maintenance.
Those who are not supplied with
funds should be treated at county ex-
pense. His idea was that if such
home is created it should be planned
after certain institution in Colorado,
which has number of cottages for
the use of patients. His idea was
that if cottages were erected for the
accommodation of sixteen patients it
would answer present needs.
The matter was threshed over by
the board, and finally a committee
was appointed to investigate the feast
bility of carrying out the plan and to
report at the next meeting of the
board.
Plans were represented for the build
ings, which it was estimated would
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Several of our townspeople spoke in
favor of the institution, and many
members of the board were in favor
of it. With this question, as there
always is with all public matters,
there is that uncertain element, and
it is sometimes for the public good
that there is.
Some members wanted more time
to look into the proposition and for
that reason the committee was APP
pointed.
As site for such sanitarium Rib
hill was suggested. At the time the
state anti-tuberculosis exhibit was
made here in 1909 the matter of open
ing such u home was agitated family,
and the above site was then spoken
of. The points in its favor are alti-
tude, isolation from a settled district,
and quiet surroundings. Such home
will be established on the hill some
time, either by the state or county,
for medical men consider it an ideal
location

DINNER PARTY ON
SATURDAY EVENING.
Walter H. Bissell's Hospitality Enjoyed
by Large Number Of His Friends.

Last Saturday evening w. Fl. Bis
sell invited the members of the Deer
Foot Lodge club to partake of a
seven o'clock dinner at his home. The
guests arrived at that hour and were
greeted by Mr.. Bissell, who gave them
such a warm reception that they felt
right at home from the outset. At
the hour Of 1870, Cones orchestra
played familiar airs and soon otter the
company CT gentlemen flor all were
men) repaired to the tables. While
ladies were not supposed to be present
at this function, still it was very evil
dent that their indispensable assist,
ance had largely been drawn upon.
Exclamations of delight and admira-
tion were heard on every hand at the
beautifully decorated tables. There
were covers laid for over forty; one
table WIS arranged the length of the
large living room north and south and
extended into the dining room; anoth-
er run the length of the dining room,
east and west. Large bouquets of red
carnations adorned the tables and
there was carnation at each guests
plate; red tapers in ornamental hold
ers added their light to the bril-
liancy of that furnished by cleo
tricity; profusion of smilax
added much to the beauty of the dec
orations. Just before being seated,
grace was invoked by Mr.. Neil
Campbell. The temporal good things,
in quality and abundance, comported
with the expectations raised at the
appearance CT the tables, and yoroc-
ious appetites were soon in COM
atoSe condition. When the last
course had been served, and cigars
were passed, "mine host" of the even
ing, expressed his pleasure at having
his friends with him and after brief,
felicitious address, called upon Sena-
tor A. L. Kreutzer to preside as toast
master, admonishing him not to let
single man escape. Mr.. KreutZer was
in his element and added much to
the intellectual feast of the evening
by the happy way in which he intro
duced the speakers. He kept all
guessing, as to who would be the
next to be called upon. The follow
ing responded to toasts: M. B.
Rosenberg, Rev. James M. Duer, G.
G. Yawkey, f. P. Stone, Fl. A. Pat
terson, G.. d. Jones, G. E. Turner and
Neal Brown. The talks were inter-
spersed with verse of some catchy
song known to all and at the close all
arose and sang with vim "Bissell's |
a jolly Good Fellow" which senti-
ment all present carried to their re-
spective homes.
MIR. and Mrs. Bissell were assisted |
on this occasion by their daughters,
Mrs. VIM. Gamble, Misses Katherine |
and Margaret Bissell. 1t was an
evening filled with pleasure and that |
will long be remembered.

RESIGNED.

On Thursday evening last, Rev. q.
c. Crippen. pastor of the Baptist
church, rendered his resignation to
the board of trustees of the church to
take effect on the 1st of February.
This became quite generally known
on Friday and Saturday and there
were expressions of regret heard on
every hand. Mr.. Crippen came here
over two years ago and he and his
wife have made many warm friends
who are very sorry to see them depart.
Rev. Crippen will go direct to the
University of Chicago, where he will
take a curse of study along minis
terial lines.

ERNEST HUTCHINSON.
Recital Ca Friday Evening at Castle Hall,
Great Event to Lovers Of Music.

Mr.. Ernest Hutchinson, who is rec
ognE:ed as a master of the pianoforte,
and excelled by only few in the
world, appeared in recital at Castle
hall, on Friday evening, under the
auspices of the Tuesday Musical club.
1t was the third entertainment of the
winters course given by the club, and
the general opinion is that Wausau
has never listened te SO many great
artists in one course. Mr.. Hutche-
sons program consisted of eight num-
bers, and by those competent to judge,
it is said to have been, without any
doubt, the greatest piano recital ever
listened to in Wausau. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the audience was not
larger. Mr.. Hutheson in the East,
wherever he is engaged to appear,
plays before audiences that fill the
largest halls or opera houses. He
came from Philadelphia to Wausau to
fill this engagement, and there was an
Indifference outside of the members
of the club, however, there was no
lack of appreciation among those
present, in fact Mr.. Hutcheson's re-
marks before each number and his
wonderful playing, aroused all present
to the greatest enthusiasm.
Alex Zenier of Appleton, came to
Wausau to be present at the recital
and he said: II would go 1000 miles
to hear Mr.. Hutcheson; there are
only two in the world, in my opinion,
who excel him-Paderewsk and Hoff-
man.
Mr.. Hutchinson remained in Wausau
all day Saturday and impressed those
who met him as very Charming
English gentleman. He returned to
his home in Baltimore that even
ing.
The next and last number of the
course is Miss Emma Patten and Mr..
Clarence Shepherd, soprano and or
ganist. The concert will be given in
the M. E. church on the evening of
Feb. Sd. One thing, interest
ing to our people, is that the engage
ment of Miss Patten to Mr.. Mitchell
Hoyt was recently announced. The
latter is son of Mr.. and Mrs. How
ard Hoyt, former residents of Wausau.

LaFollette to Wait

Upon excellent authority it is
learned that Senator LaFollette
will wait until after congress
convenes, early in December, be.
fore announcing his candidacy
for the presidency. Although
leading progressive republicans
throughout the country have
been coming out in interviews
indorsing him, he will make no
haste to answer their call, prefer
ring to wait until after President
Taft has submitted his message.
Primarily the senator wants to
find out, it is said, what position
the president will assume toward
what are known as the progress
sive policies and his general stand
on departmental and administra-
tion issues.

Creamery Probable

G. D. Merchant, travelling re-
preventative of the Henningsen
Produce Co., of Butte, was call
ing on the Roman merchants yes
terday. While in Roman he called
on the Pioneer and stated that
his house would have couple of
men in this week to canvas the
district with a view to ascertain
ing the quantity of milk to be
obtained for creamery purposes.
In the event that enough can be
secured to warrant, the Henning-
sen company will Immediately
work on a creamery plant at Ro-
nan. From Mr.. Merchant we
learn that something like 1900
pounds of butter is shipped to
Roman monthly by his firm, at an
expense to the valley of not less
than $400. This is a snug little
sum and the drain of cash from
this item alone appalling. That
a valley like this should have to
import butter is outrageous and
a remedy should be found with
out loss of time.

The Taft Tour

A few days ago this page re-
ferred to the comment of a few
newspapers to the effect that
President Taft's trip is unwisely
planned and that, as things are,
there is more safety in silence
than in speeches. This opinion
is not we'll supported. 1t is true
that with some of the presidents
the policy has been to abstain
from speech-making tours; it is
also true, as we have remarked,
that in a few instances presiden-
tial statements, made in the
course of a swing around the
circle, have not been helpful.
For all that there is propriety
and, probably, good politics in
the course the president is pur-
suing. In some respects he is at
a peculiar pass, because he is as
much at odds with a great body
in his own party as he is with
democracy, the reputed common
enemy of all that is republican.

talk it over with the people.

next election. If he travels hav.

Finally Got Enough

Earl Wagner, of Wagner Bros,
tells a good one on himself. Just
before harvest he ordered 5000
grain sacks, thinking that would
be plenty to hold all the grain
they would have this year. After
starting to thresh the crop he
made up his mind he would need
some more, so ordered 500 more.
Pretty soon it was apparent
this would not yet be enough so
he ordered 300 more; then he
got IT'S; then so, and when he
finished had just three sacks left
out of the 4, O75 purchased.
Wagner Bros. have this year a
little over 5000 bushels Of wheat
and 1,017 bushels of oats. Their
wheat averaged a little better
than 30 bushels per acre, spring
and fall together, which is con-
sidered a very good general aver
age in any country.

Surprised The
Poison Courier

The person who writes the
stuff the Poison Courier prints
weekly is surprised that the Pio-
neer tells the truth. That may
be from knowing that the Cour-
ier never does, but should not be
surprising when this paper is
concerned. It always does. The
particular story at which the
Courier person is so surprised is
in regard to the water supply Of
Roman. 1t will be remembered
that the Pioneer stated a couple
of weeks ago that there were
only two wells in town from
which the population received
water for domestic purposes. To
the Courier this frankness was a
source of great surprise.
To the Pioneer, it seems that
to tell the truth should be the
duty of every local newspaper,
even if it does hurt sometimes,
and, while this condition now ex-
lists in Roman, the condition is not
nearly so bad here as in the town
on the lake where the water they
have breeds typhoid and kim
dred epidemics. The water we
have is pure and wholesome,
and the only drawback is, there
is not enough of it to supply the
growing demand. AS a matter
of truth, also, it can be said that
not one natural death has occur
red in Roman in 18 months, and
this fact speaks volumes for the
purity of the water we have here.
If our neighbors could point to
as equally a good record they
might have something on US in
the matter of a water supply,
but to know that the water they
have is fraught with danger
at all times should be the means
of closing their harpings on the
disadvantages they assume are
to be found in Roman. Don't
commence to throw rocks, else
some may break your own glass
house, neighbor.

Suggests Good Proceeding
In Present School Mudd1e
Editor of the Pioneer:

Editor of the Pioneer:
Referring to your late ar
ticle in the Pioneer in regard tx
the abandonment of the govern
ment day school at Roman, woulc
say that have before me a let
ter from Major Morgan, under
date of Dec. II, 1909, in which
he says:
IF Roman should grow to be 6
town, it might be we'll to consider
in the near future the advisable
ity of turning over to the county
the government school building
and a reasonable amount of land,
with some understanding as to
the county caring for the Indian
pupils in that vicinity"
Senator Dixon wrote me under
date Of May %, 1910, in refer
ence to this matter, as follows:
Il note what you say about
again taking the matter up with
Major Morgan as soon as your
school district is organized and
school board appointed.
Il am sure Major Morgan will
want to cooperate in every way
with the advancement of the new
settlers on the reservation and
the establishment of additional
school facilities. When the prop
er time comes l would advise you
to take the matter up directly
with him."
The conditions suggested by
Major Morgan are now present.
Roman is a town on the eve of
incorporation.
The government day school has
been abandoned and the Indian
pupils thrown on the district for
schooling.
1t would therefore seem that
the proper thing is for the school
board to take up this matter at
once with Major Morgan, en-
deavor to have his suggestion
carried out, and a patent issued
by the government to school dis
trict No. %, for the SW IA Sc
IA section 36, Twp. 21 N, r. 20

ment for school purposes.

Money For
Dixon Road

A delegation of Dixon citizens
recently made a trip to Thomp-
son Falls and presented their de-
mands to the board of county
commissioners of Sanders coun-
ty. What the people of Dixon
wanted was money to build a
good wagon road from Dixon to
the county line north, at the
bridge across Mission creek, con-
Meeting with the road up Moiese
valley and also with the Roman
road. The delegation met with
excellent success, finding the
members of the county board
perfectly willing to appropriate
sufficient funds to construct a
wagon road entirely to their lik-
ing. After the Dixonites had
promised to donate $1O0 in cash
and a like amount in labor, the
county board came across with
an appropriation of $500, which
sum is considered entirely suf-
ficient to construct a first class
road from the future railroad
junction to the Mission creek
bridge. With the work now done
and to be done in the future by
Missoula county. this will insure
an excellent road from Roman to
Dixon via the Moiese valley and
give the settlers enroute the
choice of going and coming to
either town to do their trading.
Dixon merchants expect to profit
by the building of this road, and
there is no doubt but that the
opening of this thoroughfare will
bring many new people to Roman
to do their trading.
Good roads are essential in any
country, and especially so where
the farmer must depend on wag-
on transportation in marketing
the produce of the farm. This
years. record breaking crop of
wheat and oats in this valley has
made the matter Of marketing it
a serious problem, and without
good roads over which to haul it
to the railroad the task would be
almost an impossible one. The
Dixon people are to be congratu-
lated on the success of their ef-
forts, and the people of Roman
should lend every encouragement
in furthering any movement to
the betterment of the roads of
the valley.
