branch of the grange. An effort
was made to merge it into a

clined, so the statement in last

was an error.

keeps them busy these days ex-
planning that they are not selling
creamery butter by the pound,
but by the package, a gallon of
pie fruit is unknown, but a can
of the same may be purchased
at any of the stores. Likewise a
can of peaches, pears or tomatoes
is not sold as 2 IL pound cans
anymore but merely by the can.
It is just another way of beating
the devil around the same stump,
with the retail merchant WELD
ing the short end of it. The
customers are receiving no more
for the money, and the merchant
is put to the trouble of changing
a condition which has prevailed
since butter was first sold or
fruit preserved in cans.
The merchant thinks that the
law should be made to apply to
the creamery which puts up but
ter in II ounce packages and
sells it to them as pound cartons,
or to the fruit Gamer who labels
his goods a gallon when it is in
fact of less measure. If the law
applies to retail merchants, why
not to the man he buys his wares
of?
No merchant complains of be-
ing asked to give full weight Or
measure but they do think the
same shoe should fit all feet of
the same size. It seems just a
little odd to call for a package of
butter when one wants a pound,
or a can of fruit and not know
whether it will be a gallon or a
quart you will get. Queer things
creep into the laws, doesn't
there?

towns, therefore the money on
hand could be we'll spent in pro-
viding additional rooms here.
That would not be sufficient to
meet the demand and other
money would have to be had to
complete the work.
To many it seems that nothing
short of an eight room building
should be considered when again
the work of providing more room
is undertaken. This would re-
quire several thousand dollars
more than is now available, and
this might be raised by an addi-
tional bond issue.
With ample school facilities at
Roman, which would allow Of a
graded school being established,
pupils for miles around could at
tend here and their transporta-
ton provided in and out. This
would obviate the establishment
of numerous small schools to ac-
commodate those living away
from town and in the long run
would be a good investment from
a financial standpoint and pro-
vide better schools than many
small ones could possibly do.
Some will say that Roman
wants it all. That is not our de-
sire by any means. 1t is merely
a condition which we must meet
and every town must go through
just such tribulations. When a
town grows rapidly it sometimes
appears that it is getting just a
little more than it is entitled to
in school money and buildings,
but conditions make it impera-
tive to provide schools where
necessary and which conditions
absolutely demand.
1t is time this matter was be-
ing thought of in a manner to
besr results, as the time will be
only too short within which to
get ready, should the matter re-
ceive attention at once.
The question then is, what is
to be done?

What About
More Schools?

AS the time for school election
draws near the question is asked
many times a day, "What about
more schools for RonanW It is
an important matter to the peo-
pie who are now here and to
those who will seek homes in Ro-
nan during the coming summer.
Everybody recognizes the truth
of the statement that the school
facilities at the present time are
entirely inadequate and there
fore what can be expected when
it is time to commence the next
years work. At present the
four schools in Roman are sep
arated and crowded to the limit
and pupils are not all accommo-
dated. To have the four schools
separated is not conducive to
good work and the necessity for
new school building, which
will combine all the schools un-
der one roof, is recognized as a
necessity right now.
No one could anticipate the
future and predict the phenom-
email growth which has taken
place here, at the time the pres
ent building was under contem-
plation, therefore no good reason
could exist to censure anyone,
even if there were a desire to do
so, as to why a larger building
was not provided at the time.
Had it been known that Roman
would demand more school rooms
so soon, the board at that time
would undoubtedly have been
only to glad to have built more
at that time. But that is not the
question now. The rooms must
be provided that all the children
may be able to attend the schools
and not be denied an opportunity
to get the education so much de.
sired.
The next question is how tc
get the funds with which to builC
these additional rooms. There is
now on hand in the building func
a sum approximately about $2,'
600, which under the law can be
used only in Roman, St. IgnatiuE
or Ravalli. 1t is conceded tina
at the present time there is M
demand for more school rooms a

Enthusiastic Get-Together
Meeting at St. 1gnatius

the entire satisfaction of all.
The report was to the effect that
the lands of. old, infrm or non
competent Indians should be
leased or sold, at the option of
the Indian, and that the agent
should have the authority to
lease same without first obtain
ing the consent Of the Indian. It
also recommended that the lease
money be paid out in monthly
installments, thus preventing a
wasteful extravaganza in cases
where those to whom it might
be paid were not competent to
properly care for their money.
1t would thereby provide many
with the means of having a liv-
ing, where now they are suffer-
ing from lack Of food and CLOTH
ing. Each subject under dis
cussion was carefully considered
and it it thought that much good
must result from the action
taken.
After the meeting had closed
all adjourned to the Michaud

had been provided, and after
eating the good things, toasts
were responded to by one dele
gate from each organization.

together meeting held at St. Ig-
natius last Saturday evening.
Delegates were present from all
over the reservation, Missoula,
Hamilton, Plains and Thompson
Falls. Missoula sent II, Dixon
IL, Roman 8, Poison 5, Flathead
Farmers Association Z, Flathead
Farmers Cooperative Union 5,
and other portions enough to
swell the delegate list to So.
All day from about noon the
delegates arrived and the busi-
ness men of St. Ignatius devoted
their entire time toward enter
tanning and looking after the
comfort of all in attendance.
Geo. and Andrew Beckwith, P.
c. Thompson, DR.. Mathews, A.
K. Lusk, G. w. Buckhouse, V.
A. Mccormack and other st.
Ignatius boosters were on hand
all the time and to them must be
given the credit of holding the
best meeting so far on the reser-
walton.
The meeting was held in the
St. Ignatius opera house and was
called to order at 7:30 by A. B.
Beckwith, president of the st.
Ignatius Commercial club, who
briefly stated the object of the
meeting and extended a cordial
welcome to delegates on the part
of the organization and the citi-
zens of St. Ignatius as a whole.
He designated H. L. Burleigh Of
Plains as chairman of the meet
ing who accepted the position in
a short speech, pledging himself
to a fair and impartial position
as presiding officer.
The business of the meeting
was then taken up, first of all
being the matter of assignable
titles to the homesteads of the
reservation covered by the recla-
nation project. This matter has
been discussed at every school
house, every meeting and every
home on the reservation, and for
that matter all over Western
Montana for the past month or
six weeks, but it was the para
mount question with most every
body present for all that. Dele
gates from the Farmers associ-
ations would listen to nothing
but an unequivocal endorse
ment of the petition circulated
lately praying for congressional
legislation, and threatened to do
all kinds of things to former ac-
tion on this subject unless every
thing else was made to give way
to their pet scheme. To avoid
any such dire calamity those who
thought it easier to get the same
result by departmental ruling,
surrendered and the atmosphere
cleared suddenly. The meeting
indorsed the petition and every
body was happy.
Roads on the reservation were
discussed by several delegates
and a committee was appointed
to draft a resolution to be pre-
sented to the meeting. This
committee reported in favor of
asking the commissioners of the
three counties to build as much
road this year as possible and to
hurry up the matter of rights of
way over Indian allotments.
Another important matter dis
cussed was the sale or lease of
the allotments of old, infrm and
non-competent Indians. A COM
mittee was appointed which in
cluded Duncan Mcdonald, chair
man Of the business committee
of Flathead Indians, and his idea
from the Indian standpoint was
adopted. It is only fair to state
that his idea was the one which
this paper has advocated for two
