Cured without pain
ECZEMA ON HANDS AND FEET

I'm the latter part OF 1889 my face and
head broke cut in little pimples. My doctor
gave me some medicine and a salve. I
used them for months but did not receive
any results. In the meantime it broke out
all over my back and chest. then went to
another doctor and he told me the same as
my own doctor - that it was eczema. He
also gave me medicine for eighteen months.
g1All could see was that he moved it from my
face and body to my hands and feet and
although l did everything, ! could not heal
my hands and feet. My hands would split
open on the joints and would be so sore
that could not use them ut times Then
started to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment
In July. 1898, and before 1894 was fully
cured. As soon as / began to use Cuticura
Soap and Ointment l found relief at once.

GETS GOOD FLOW OF
WATER AT 567 FEET

The Melton, Cope & Co. well
drilling outfit has been at H. r.
Robedeau's for some time past
endeavoring to find water for
Mr.. Robedeau. Last week they
encountered water at a depth of
567 feet and it has risen to a
point where it must be pumped
a little over 250 feet at this time.
While such wells are expensive,
it is certainly worth the money
rather than to put in so much
time hauling water for every
purpose, such distances as many
are compelled to do. The cost of
a we'll increases the value OF the
farm in proportion.

skirting the lake to the west to
reach the latter town, and from
there they go into the deer coun-

to go to Thompson river

in that section made up their
minds that more game could be
found elsewhere, and so changed
direction. The party is expected

GREW PEANUTS and WILL

James M. Carver has been
working at his trade, a carpen-

two weeks. Mr.. Carver is a nat
i've of Georgia and has a fondness
for the vegetables and other
good things grown, in that state.
On his homestead in the Moiese
last year he grew peanuts and
this coming year he will expert
ment with sweet potatoes.
While in the office the first of
the week, he said that he raised
as fine water melons as one
could wish for, besides great
quantities of tomatoes and other
tender vine vegetables. He likes
the country and his place is not
for sale, as he took it for a home
for himself and family and is
sanguine the country will afford
him a fine living once water is
furnished the land. That his Sec
ton needs water he is certain,
and thinks the governments should
get busy and supply the system
to water the land in that valley,
where it is needed more than
any, other portion Of the reser-
vation. In this matter he SIM
ply voices the general sentiment
of all who are acquainted with
the facts.

PAYS FREIGHT BOTH WAYS

Farmers are grumbling con-
siderably over the fact that they
are compelled to pay the freight
both ways. The occasion is this:
A new flour mill has been built
at Poison and it was expected
that they would be able to get
their wheat ground into flour and
receive much more in return
than heretofore received. That
seems to be an illusion they suf-
fered from. Instead of getting
more flour out of a bushel of
wheat they get less, it being said
they are to receive only 26
pounds of flour from bushel of
wheat.
Much grumbling was heard
when the government mill at
Roman gave them only 80 pounds
and 10 pounds of bran, but to
get four pounds less is worse
still.
1t all comes about, so it is said,
by reason of the great milling
trust which has the people of the
country by the throat. No mat
ter how many flour mills are
built in a country, remote from
big mills like the Flathead is,
the consumer here must pay the
freight both ways. That is, the
consumer must pay the freight
on the wheat sold here to local
millers, to the Minneapolis mar
ket and then pay the freight on
the flour back to the Flathead
again. In other words, he is
caught both coming and going.
Wheat is selling in Poison now
at AZ cents per bushel; -four is
selling at $500 per hundred, or
about the same price paid when
wheat was near the dollar mark.
That makes it seem strange to
some why flour remains at the
old price and wheat way down
on the market. Somebody is
getting more for their products
than the market price warrants.
Building of local mills does not
seem to result in a benefit and
the matter should be investi-
gated.

ABOUT RAvALL|
WHEAT MARKET

A late issue Of the Market Rec
ord, the official organ of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce, says:
Already more than 100, 900
bushels of grain have been mar
keted in Mandan, North Dakota,
this year, and indications are
that the total receipts there will
be about 100000 bushels, MAX
ing Mandan one of the greatest
primary grain markets in the
northwest"
If the marketing of 100000
bushels makes of a town a great
primary grain market" then
what must Ravalli be? One of
the Roman merchants, Stanley
Scarce, will ship almost, if not
quite, that amount of grain from
Ravalli this season, to say moth
ing of the many other buyers
and the many farmers who ship
direct. So far this season, Mr..
Scearce has shipped 40 car loads
alone, and the Beckwith Mer-
camille Co., of St. 1gnatius, has
probably shipped as much if not
more. These gentlemen are sim
ply merchants, who buy as an
accommodation and collect their
outstanding accounts, and all this
grain goes into the open market.
Many farmers are shipping di-
rect to Minneapolis again this
year, believing they can max e
the middlemen's profit them
selves. So when the aggregate
is punched, 200, 900 bushels will
look small indeed.
Mandan is not only a shipping
point, but it has one of the larg-
est Touring mills in the country,
a mill which has the reputation
of turning out as good a grade
of flour as any mill, and this
flour alone will require many
thousands of bushels in the MAX
ing.
With a flour mill to consume
the wheat locally, any point along
the Northern Pacific tributary to
the Flathead, would double dis
count Mandan as a primary
grain market, and the country
has only begun to develop.

EASTERN MONTANA
DEVELOPING FAST

While Western Montana has
developed rapidly in the past few
years. it has by-noumeans had a
monopoly in this line. That por-
ton of Montana lying east of the
mountains has also been making
strides in this direction almost
beyond belief. Where but a few
short years ago there was little
but sheep and cattle grazing up
on the vast prairies and uplands,
today in travelling through this
section one sees nothing for
miles and miles except fields of
grain, stacks of hay, and neat
and commodious farm homes,
and here and there a band of
sheep or a bunch of cattle as a
reminder of early days in Mon
tana.
The writer returned last week
from a ten days trip through that
part of Montana, visiting some
portions for the first time in
twenty-five years. That it is
the same country over which we
travelled at that time is hard to
comprehend, and the wise ones
in Eastern Montana declare the
transformation has only begun.
Leaving Roman, the writer went
direct to Glasgow, via Kalispell.
At Glasgow we met a former
Flathead homesteader, Mr.. Peter
Gritz, and to himself and wife
are indebted for many courtesies.
Glasgow is the county seat of
Valley county, a freight division
on the Great Northern railway,
and here also is located the u.
S. land office for large portion
of the northeastern part of the
state. Glasgow is a live, bus
ting, up to the times Montana
town with a population of about
1900. 1t is surrounded by a vast
dry farming country and this
year at least, the yields have
been marvellous. Acres and acres
of grain remain in the field in the
shock, the weather having been
too wet to permit threshing. The
320 acre homestead law prevails
in the country around Glasgow
and hundreds Of eastern farmers
have availed themselves of this
to secure a free
home. 1t is a country with a
great future.
From Glasgow to Great Falls
the country is about all the same,
a vast rolling prairie that has

Address at Land
Show is Good
TELLS OF GREAT NORTHWEST

Governor Edwin L. Norris was
the principal speaker at the
Northwestern Products exposi-
ton at Minneapolis on Montana
Day, November 21st. Practical
and less drastic public land poll
cies was the theme of his ad-
dress, parts of which are given
below. His contention that the
present land laws and the inter-
probation thereof are too drastic
and to the detriment of the
northwest and the thousands of
settlers who have come to this
country to make homes, will be
unquestionably met with an al
most unanimous approval. In
part, the governor said:
Large in area, rich in unde-
veloped resources and small in
population these terms correctly
describe the northwest. Having
more than one-fifth of the area
and resources and less than one
twentieth of the population of
the nation, it today offers more
attractive opportunities to the
homeseeker and investor than
may be found elsewhere.
mo valuable purpose is to be
served by a discussion of the
reasons for the tardy' develop
ment of this most favored Sec
tion. 1t seems more profitable
to consider some of the problems
which demand attention than to
describe the richness-and extent
of our resources and possibilities.
1t is not wise to accept what the
present offers without heed for
the future. That course has
been followed in the past, and a
small population scattered over a
large territory has been the re-
suit.
This is a commercial age,
and intelligent effort is the price
of success in any undertaking.
We may point with pride to the
fact that for more than half
century the west has poured a
steady and ever increasing stream
of gold into the commercial CEN
ters of the nation. This life blood
of business has built up great in
dustries, stimulated trade, and
done much to place our country
in the forefront in commerce and
wealth. This stream first had
it's source in the mines, later in
in the mines and ranges, and
now the mines, ranges and farms
combine to swell it's volume.
1.-The miners We're the pio-
neers of western settlement, the
stockmen were the heralds of
western development, and the
farmers are now becoming a
more permanent factor in west
ern commercial life. While the
mines and the ranges will con-
tinue to contribute in undimin-
ished volume, the harvests of
our farmers will in the future
prove the greater source of
wealth.
with it's many and superior
advantages the northwest should
speedily become thickly popu-
lated and fully developed; but
the public land policy of the gov
ernment must be changed before
that ambition can be realized.
The title to more than two-thirds
of the lands of the northwest is
now vested in the federal gov
ernment, less than one-third
having passed into private owner
ship. Of this tWo-thirds about
60 per cent is subject to entry
under the public land laws, while
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1912-11-29
GOV. NORRIS ON LAND LAWS

the remaining 40 per cent has
been withdrawn from entry by
the government. This condition
gives to the problem two impor-
tant phases: One relating to the
lands subject to entry under the
laws now in force or which may
hereafter be passed, and the
other concerning the enactment
of laws necessary for the admin
istration of lands withdrawn.
'"The laws governing the ap-
preparation of public lands SUBJ
ject to entry by settlers are rea-
sonably satisfactory. The chief
objection is to the manner in
which those laws have been in
terpreted and administered. For
nearly half a century it was the
fixed policy of the federal gov
ernment to hold it's lands in
trust for the benefit Of those who
should claim them according to
law. Under that policy title to
the lands of the middle west
passed into private hands and
that section developed from ten
antless wastes into populous COM
munities and cultivated fields. A
like policy would produce similar
results in the northwest.
"A few years ago the long
standing policy was changed. the
change being due, it is claimed,
to the discovery by federal Of
fcials that title to land in some
instances was being obtained by
fraud. To the measures taken
to check frauds and to punish
the guilty parties, no honest
citizen objects: -Onlyrtin rare
instances were actual settlers up
on agricultural lands found to be
guilty of an attempt to defraud
the government. In order to
reach q few guilty parties, a pol
icy was thereupon inaugurated
which has proven more burden
some to the innocent than effect
i've against the guilty. Settlers
upon public lands have since been
so constantly .harassed by inspec-
lions, delays in acquiring title,
and technical objections to i'm
material delinquencies that many
have abandoned their claims in
disgust, while others have been
deferred from making entries.
The -retarding effect upon entry
and cultivation Of government
ands by virtue of this policy can
not be estimated.
Toward securing material
changes in the policy of admin
lstering the public lands subject
to entry, earnest and intelligent
effort on the part of the west
should be directed. If the in
terror department cannot be con-
of errors in the regula-
ions and decisions made, then
should be appealed to
Tor appropriate relief, and ap-
oeals should be made as often as
adverse decisions may render
hem necessary.
THE lands withdrawn from
entry by the government and not
subject to appropriation by set
lers under the laws of congress
ire chiefly valuable for timber,
'oal, oil, gas, phosophates and
)ower sites.
'The withdrawals were hastily
made, and include a large vol
lme of agricultural and grazing
ands that have no value for
'ther purposes. Examination

lreas proceed slowly, and restor-
ltion to entry of lands not valu-
lble for the purposes for which
are most reluctantly

jumping into a taxicab and being whlrled
across to the Union station another min

getting down to the train gates, one
more minute. This left the senator one
minute in which TO board the North
