beans. corn. cucumbers, etc., and
best of all he did not forget Ye
editor who received four potatoes
of the Burbank variety that
weighed seven pounds, one half
dozen ears of corn and three
large cucumbers besides early
cabbage, onions, etc. The Col:
especially brags on his wheat and
oats. He has three acres Of
oats in the shock that will run
from rs to 100 bushels to the
acre so say competent judges.
His Rocky Ford watermelons
and cantalopes will soon be large
enough for the boys to purloin,
but they must remember the
Col. is a good marksman and has
ashot gun. Here sto you Col. -

Next Sunday Rube Dishmon
and kid" Carey, both 40
pound champion wrestlers, will
meet in a mat bout at St. Igna-
titus for the championship of Mon
tana. Cary holds. top honors in
his class for the state of Iowa,
and Dishmon is conceded to be
the best in the Treasure state.
Both men in street clothes look
to be about the same build and a
splendid bout is promised wrest-
ling fans when the lads meet.
Carey has an excellent record as
a grappler in his home state and
Dishmon enjoys the same dis
tsnction. There is little to choose
in the records of the men Or in
size, and the man who wins will
have to put up a hard battle for
the decision.
If you need a piano, buy it at

Sub-Agent Gillette announces
that a council of the Flathead In
dians will be held at Jocko on
Wednesday, August 10th, for the
purpose of selecting a member
of their tribe to appraise all the
unappraised land on the reser-
walton. The meeting will be
called promptly at | O'Clock, and
all members of the tribe are sup
posed to be present and assist in
the selection of q representative.
Only meager information regard
ing the matter had been received
up to the time Of going to press,
but the fact that the Indians are
being called upon to select a rep
resentative to appraise their
lands indicates that something
will soon be done in this direc-
ton.
Ex-senator Charles Fairbanks
of Sanders county, is spending
the week in Roman with Frank
Myers, Bob Watson and other
old friends. Mr.. Fairbanks has
been a resident of Sanders coun-
ty for the past twelve years and
during all that time has had his
eye on the reservation. He thinks
it the garden spot of Montana
and if the opportunity presents
itself he will probably invest in
some of our real estate. The
crop now being harvested, he
says, is ahead of anything he has
seen this year.
Max Lowenstein and son Rob-
ert, and Ralph We'll, stopping at
Ben Jacobs ranch in 1919, will
start the first of the week for a
trip over the reservation. E. c..
Badger will otficiate as pilot.
They go first to Kalispell and
from there will return via Day
ton, Camas, Plains and Dixon.
This trip will enable them to form
a pretty good idea Of the reser-
walton and it is a 100 to / shot
that they come back better
pleased with that section sur
rounding Roman than ever, if
possible.
There was considerable rain
the early part of the week which
retarded harvesting some. Aside
from the damage reported in an
other column, everything is all
right. Harvest is progressing
as favorably as could be expected
and much of the grain is now in
the shock and being stacked. A
few are using combine machines
and as fast as they pass over the
ground the grain is in sacks and
ready for the market.
