Grain Crop Acreage
Trebled Over 1911

Accounts from the country sur
rounding Roman indicate that the
acreage of grain of all kinds to
be sown this year will be more
than trebled over last year. In
many sections there are as high
as eight times as much to be
sown this year as last, and every
estimate is double over last year.
With crop conditions as good
as last year this will mean that
over 100000 bushels of grain
must be reckoned with from the
Flathead this year, and that fact
should encourage a railroad to
build far enough into the terri
tory to transport the great crop
to market without the long haul
by wagons as has been the case
in the past.
Should the Northern Pacific
build from Dixon this year as far
as Roman it would accommodate
the entire grain producing Sec
tion and would insure that road
the tonnage for almost the entire
reservation acreage. There will
not be a farmer south of the big
hill this side of Poison but who
would rather haul to a railroad
than climb the hill, and this will
make it an easy matter to secure
all the grain hauling for the rail-
road which penetrates this terri
tory.
Its business will not be con-
fined alone to hauling grain out,
as there will be a large surplus
of hogs and other farm produce
to be transported. Then there
will be an increased amount of
all kinds of freight to haul into
the country, With the farmers
raising large crops they will be
large buyers Of all kinds of goods
and this will need to be trans
ported by wagon unless a rail-
road is built, and the one which
can and does afford the easiest
means will be the one to get the
business.
The wise ones say that the
road will be built and this paper
believes them.

ers were busy from the time the
polls opened until the close, and
the result was close between the
two Roman candidates, D. N.
Mason winning out by IL votes
in the home precinct.
Ballots had been prepared at
the direction of the board, which
placed DR.. Resner and D. N.
Mason against each other for the
three year term. This was not
what the voters of Roman desired
and did not comply with the in
tent of the meeting which placed
MIR. Mason in nomination. AS
soon as this was discovered an
other ticket was printed and this
ticket showed that Mr.. Mason
was a candidate for only the un-
expired term of Jas. Grant, re-
signed. This ticket did not in
clude the names of all the candi-
dates and some i'll feeling has
been shown by those who felt
their candidate had been un-
fairly treated. The same feeling
was felt when it was discovered
that Mr.. Mason had, without
warrant, been placed in the run
ming against DR.. Resner, whom
almost everybody in Roman
wished to vote for, but who also
wanted to vote for Mr.. Mason.
The vote in detail from the var
