SLATED FOR WILSON CABINET

President-elect Woodrow Will
son has gotten down to cabinet
making at last and in almost SO
many words stated on Wednes-
cay that William F. McCombs,
chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, would sit in the
circle around the big table after
March 4th.
McCombs said that VIM. J.
Bryan had been discussed and
Mr.. Wilson said a meeting with
Mr.. Bryan for the near future
had been discussed. That Mr..
Bryan will be offered a portfolio
is generally conceded, but that
he will accept is not a certainty.
Friends of Gov. Norris of Mon
tana will urge his candidacy for
secretary of the interior upon
the president-elect and it is gen.
orally believed that his chances
for landing the plum are very
bright. Mr.. Wilson holds the
Montana governor in high re-
gard and it is believed his candi-
dacy will receive the unqualified
endorsement of VIM. j. Bryan
and many other democrats of ns-
tional prominence.
With the one exception of Mr..
McCombs there seems to be no
other selection definitely made,
but on being asked whether Mr..
McCombs would be one of the
men in Washington helping him
to run the government, the pres
ident-elect said: "Of course he
WILL" but further than that he
would not Lalk. s .a a,.
The great northwest is more
particularly interested in the Sc
lection of the president for the
position of secretary of the inter-
ior, and a supreme effort will be
made to have a western man
chosen. Governor Norris is one
of lhe strong and able men of the
country today and western peo-
pie especially would be pleased
to see this portfolio placed under
his charge.

of which have not been disclosed.
All these buildings will be be-
tween the Roman State bank and
the old Pioneer building, and the
open space in that block will be
about all occupied when the
buildings are completed.
There is also a good prospect
for the building of another hotel,
there being only one hotel here
since the fire and the demand
for more rooms for transient
travel is such as to warrant the
building of another hotel here.
Several other buildings are be-
ing contemplated and it looks
now as though Roman would
boom for fair before the new
year is very old.

-FOUR MORE new
BUILDINGS FOR ROMAN

Arrangements have been made
to construct four more new busi-
ness houses in Roman at once.
One of these will be the tailor
shop and clothing store for En-
nest Kering, mention Of which
was made last week, an office for
DR.. Fuhrer adjoining and two
more business houses, the nature

remain in its present condition,
as the timber will not sell for
anything like enough to pay the
charges of manufacture. What
timber there is would be of an
inferior grade and there is not
enough of it to warrant anyone
in establishing a mill for it's man
ufacture. This being an undis-
puted fact, it really seems as
though the commission now en-
gagged in classifying and re-clas-
styling the lands on the reserva-
ton would report favorably on
opening it up for the actual set
tier and allow the land to become
valuable and useful.
There is every reason to hope
that this report will be favorable.
Two members of the commits
sion, at least, are sufficiently well
informed on the situation to be
able to make favorable report,
These two men are Major Nor
gan and Duncan Mcdonald. The
former has been the local Indian
agent for several years and dur
ing his incumbency of that posi-
tion has probably visited more
sections of the reservation than
any other person who could have
been named for the place, and is
as familiar with the situation as
anyone; and, more, who knows
the above statements to be the
facts. And should he be so dis
posed can truthfully so report.
The other man alluded to is Dun
can Mcdonald, who was born on
the reservation and also has all
the knowledge of the major as
to the value of the land. AS to
the third member, it is not known
to this paper as to his qualif-
cations, but it has faith that
after he has once visited the
land in question he could have
but one opinion, and that it
would coincide with what has
been stated herein.
Their report means much to
the people Of Roman. It means
still more to the men and women
who are seeking to secure it for
homes, and we all look to them
for a favorable answer and "a
speedy settlement of the matter
in question.
Should it be in our favor, great
rejoicing will be the result. If
it be unfavorable then another
long fight for a reversal of their
action may be expected. The
land must be made available for
homes for those who are seeking
it, and nothing will be allowed
to prevent it.

AMBASSADOR REID
DEAD IN LONDON

Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to
Great Britain since 1905 died at
his home in London, England,
Dec. 16, from pulmonary oedema.
He had been unconscious for sew
eral hours previous and the end
came with his wife and daughter
at his bedside.
Whitelaw Reid was in his 10th
year, having been born October
q, 1927, in Xenia, Ohio.
He became a newspaper writer
as young man and never ended
his connection with the public
press. He was editor-in- chief of
the New York Tribune for many
years and afterwards became
proprietor of that journal. He
served in the first organization
of the civil war in 1861 and then
as war correspondent, in which
capacity he was present at many
important battles. At one time
he was librarian of the house of
representatives; at another he
was a cotton planter in Louisiana.
Later in life he went into the
diplomatic service and went to
France as United States minister
in 1889, remaining until 1892.
He came back to the United
States to run as the republican
candidate for vice president on
the ticket with President Harri-
son. In 1897 he was sent as
special ambassador to Great Brit
ian to attend the celebration of
the diamond jubilee of Queen
Victoria. His next important
work was of special commissioner
to the Paris conference which
negotiated peace between the
United States and Spain.
In 1902 he was appointed spec
ial ambassador to Great Britain
for the coronation of King Ed
ward VII., with whom he had
been always on the most friendly
terms. He was chosen in March,
1905, United States ambassador
to great Britain in succession to
Joseph H. Choate.
In 1881 Whitelaw Reid married
Elizabeth Mills, daughter of the
late Darius Ogden Mills of New
York. His son Ogden Mills
Reid, is president of the Tribune
association and managing editor
of the Tribune. His daughter
Jeanne is the wife of the Hon.
John Hubert Ward, equerry-in-
waiting to Queen Alexandra.

commission will do which is now
at work classifying the unclassi-
fed lands on the Flathead reser-
walton. Many rumors are in the
air concerning what has been
done and what may be done.
Nothing definite has been an
nounced so far as the Pioneer
has been able to ascertain.
It is known, however, that
this commission has visited many
different sections of the reserva-
tion and have personally inspec-
ted the different tracts of land
which were applied for and on
which the entries were suspend
ed, pending a classification and
appraisal, but in no instance has
it come to this papers knowledge
where the commissioners gave
even a hint as to what their &C.
tion or report thereon would be.
Most of the land which was un-
classified, and many other tracts
which were classified as timber
land, has been applied for by
eager men and women all anx-
ious to secure the land as home
steads. These men and women
have patiently waited the pleas
ure of the government in send
ing out this commission and are
still patiently waiting for their
report. Should it be favorable
to them they will Immediately
commence making substantial
Improvements and the whole
community will be greatly ben
e6tted. On the other hand,
should the commission make un-
favorable report, it will mean
the retarding Of actual develop
ment until such time as another
commission can be secured which
will open the land to settlers and
homemakers.
Among the many tracts so
sought, and which are considered
the most valuable, are many
thousands of acres lying along
the foothills south and east of
Roman. This land is sparsely
covered with timber and was Or
iginally classified as timbered.
Probably at the time of making
the original classification there
were many thousands of feet of
timber standing and growing
thereon, but since that time the
elements have destroyed the
greater portion until today very
little commercial timber is to be
found on many 40 and so acre
tracts. During the time which
has interviewed between the clas-
sification and now, forest fires
have swept over the land many
times, high winds have blown
many of the large trees to the
ground and at the present time
nothing remains of the forests
which were once valuable for
lumber but the memory of those
who once admired the splendid
timber and the report of the ap-
praisers and cruisers engaged in
behalf of the government to as
certain it's value. Of this men,
ory the most vexatious is the re-
port of that commission. Un-
fortunately for those who now
desire to homestead the land,
this report was filed in the gen.
eral land Office, and it is still
there, a haunting nightmare to
intending settlers.
The land upon which once
stood magnificent timber, now
denuded, is rich in fertility and
is considered the most valuable
portion Of the reservation. 1t
would produce abundant crops of
all kinds and would make mag
nificent homes and livings
for many hundreds of peo-
pie. 1t would support thriving
town and build handsome

of last week and left for the Parker
mine, above Challis. While here
Mr.. Jones informed Miner report

son. The Parker has some high
grade gold ore and large quantity
of good milling ore in their proper

the property several years ago but
the rock proved too hard for this
process. With the installation of

ANNUL FEATUREEVENTS

The proceeds OF last nights races at
the motordrome were given TO the moth
Ell OF Harry Davis who was killed while
riding at Wandamere this summer. The
crowd lacked good deal Of being as large
as the usual Thursday night crowd, but
considering that all those present bought
tickets and that no passes were recog-
nized it is probable that Mrs. Davis will
realize tidy sum.
The programme fell far below the usual
standard Of races Two OF the best
events scheduled for the evening were
two record trials against time by Al
Ward These were called off because of
alleged trouble with Wards machine.
When IL was announced that Ward would
not ride some dissatisfaction was eN-
pressed among the fans. many Of whom
believed that the defective motor would
have been IN the proper trim had there
been some monetary incentive to help
the rider out,
