Time and Place.

A little six-year-old Philadelphia girl
was sent to the family physician for
a vaccination certificate, so that she
could enter school. The certificate
required the date Of vaccination. Not
remembering when he had done It, he
said, "Janet, how long are you vac.
cinated?" To which Janet innocently
replied, "Here 1t is on my leg, about
an inch long

Divided Nest,

A North Westmorland (England)
farmer recently came across a very
unusual sight. In the course of his
rounds through his fields he found a
nest with 25 eggs in 1t. The large
number was not the only marvel, for
on examining the eggs, he found that
15 of them belonged to pheasant,
and the remaining ten to partridge.
The pheasant, as the. stronger bird,
was the probable intruder.

St. Ignatius 10
Roman 9

That is getting to be monot-
onous, being compelled to print
the fact of being beaten every
ball game, but perhaps we will
get used to it before the summer
is old.
The game was played at St.
Ignatius last Sunday and the day
was too cold for base ball, and
neither team showed much form.
Costly errors was responsible for
the defeat of Roman and lack of
practice contributed largely to
the result also. No team can ex-
pect to win games without prac-
tice. and Roman will not be an
exception ia this rule.
Earl Wagner was in the box
for Roman and Tom Wagner
caught his delivery, while Dish
mon and Savage were in the
points for the Mission boys.

First Council Meeting

The newly elected mayor and
aldermen have received their
certificates of election, and will
hold the first meeting of the
council in Bonner's hall, on Mon
day evening, May 6, 1912.
The board of county commits
sioners canvassed the returns
last Monday and found no change
in the result as announced in the
Pioneer last week. The certifi-
Gates of election were received
on Tuesday.
The first meeting will prob
ably transact but very little busi-
ness, being more for the purpose
of organizing and the appoint
ment of committees.

Date is Changed

The date of the next farmers
supper has been changed to May
18th instead Of May 11th. This
change was made on account Of
the conflict with the base ball
social and dance which will be
held on the 18th, and which it
was thought would result in
keeping a good many away from
both affairs.
The base bali boys need the
money to keep the team going,
and everybody will want to at
tend the farmers supper, SO a
change in date will allow people
to attend both.
Keep the fact in mind now,
that the supper has been changed
from May litil to May 18th, a7;'
at the same time prepare TO at,
tend the base ball dance and So
cial on the 18th.

Another Booster Meeting

Another big booster meeting
has been called to meet at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms in
Missoula on May II. This meet
ing will be under the auspices of
the Western Montana Associ-
alton of Commercial Clubs, and
every member of any of the clubs
forming the association who de-
sires or can, are urged to attend.
Secretary Breitenstein writes
that the intention is to make it a
cracker jack convention and a
good live program will be lined
up. 1t is to be hoped that Roman
will be we'll represented at this
meeting as there will be much
good come of it and this town

After Bootleggers

Judge Bourquin announced
last week in sentencing a boot
logger that hereafter upon a sec
ond conviction that they might
expect a penitentiary sentence of
one year, and for the third Of
fense two years. This is making
it some penalty and should be a
deterrent influence with many
who have been engaged in the
practice in the past. A slight
jail sentence was only a joke to
them, but to be sent to Leaven-
worth and compelled to do hard
manual labor for a year or more,
is much more serious.
The bootlegger should not be
tolerated, and a strict enforce
ment of the law as announced
from the bench, will have much
to do toward putting a stop to
the traffic. Heretofore they have
practically all escaped in Roman,
while the man who has bought
the goods has been nabbed rather
frequently.

Secretary Fisher Favors
Issuing Settlers Patents

Provided, the full amount of
the charges assessed against the
land by reason of the reclama-
tion construction has been paid
in full, and one-half of the total
irrigable area of the said tract of
land has been reclaimed as pro-
vided by law.
The department has been of
the opinion that such condi-
tional certificate would not be
accepted by bankers and others
as any better basis for a loan
than the letter form now in use
certifying compliance with the
law as to residence, cultivation
and improvement. If congress
shall enact the measure prepared
and recommended by me, such
entrymen will receive a patent
which will afford a much better
basis for loans than any final GER
tifcates which might be issued.
If, however, the law be not en-
acted and those interested be-
lieve that such a certificate as
that suggested by Mr.. Donlan
will be of any advantage to the
entrymen, [ will be pleased to
take prompt action looking to
the authorization of such certifi-
Gates.
Very respectfully,
WALTER L. FISHER,
Secretary.
Hon. Charles D. Hilles,
Secretary to the President.
At the present time Registers
duplicate certificates are being
issued to all who make proof on
land not included in the reclama-
ton project, and Senator Don
lan's suggestion to Secretary
Hilles was that an amendment
be added to such certificates and
issue same to those who make
proof on land under the project.
The amendment or proviso sug-
gested was that either the origi-
nal entryman or his assignee
should not be entitled to a pat
ent until all water charges had
been paid and at least one-half
of the irrigable area irrigated.
The addition of the words, "or
his assignee" it was believed,
would entirely settle the question
of assignable titles, and that is
all the homesteader has ever
asked for. 1t was known at the
time an application to homestead
was made that patents could not
be issued until after the water
charges were all paid and the
water applied.
Senator Borah's bill which has
passed the senate and to which
reference is made in the letter
above quoted, provides that pat
ents shall be issued when 40 per
cent of the water charges are
paid, and it is not specifically
stated whether the original en-
tryman can assign his title or
not. 1t is this uncertainty which
will do the harm should this bill
become a law in it's present
wording.
Again, with all reclamation
work at standstill as at pres
ent, the question of when the
land can be reclaimed and the
secretary issue his notice of what
the water charges are, makes the
Borah bill Inadequate to meet the
requirements of the situation.
1t may be ten years before the
water charges are known, and
that would bankrupt every set
tier and business man on the
reservation. Secretary Fisher
says ---' and if those in
terested believe that a certificate
as suggested by Mr.. Donlan will
be Of advantage to the entry
man, l will be pleased to take
prompt action looking to the
authorization of such certifi-
cates."

Kalispell Men Coming

The Kalispell Chamber of Com

one of the best propositions of a
local nature that has yet been
suggested, and that is a Kalis-

Clark visited Poison and attend
ed the potatoe meeting, and j.
L. McIntire took them out over
the reservation in an auto, TAX
ing in the country west and
south of the lake. 1t proved
such a surprise to the Kalispell
gentlemen, owing to the i'm
provements they saw on every
hand, the dense settlement, the
fine showing of fall wheat, that
Mr.. Busey remarked: "This is
q sight the business men and
citizens Of Nalispell should see
to get some idea of what is going
on down here" The suggestion

has been put up to the business
men and taken up at Wednes-

favorably received by all.
The date of the tour has not
been set, but about May 20 to
June / has been thought a good
date, as the country will be look
ing good then and the roads
should be at their best. The
tour will possibly include Rollins,
Dayton, Proctor, Elmo, Bigarm,
Camas, Poison and Roman. 1t
will be an ideal trip and the roads
by that time will be in good con-
dition, as much work will be
done on them by that time. -

First Supper
Big Success

The first of the farmers sup
pers to be served under the
auspices of the Roman CONNER
cial club, pulled off last Satur-
day evening in Bonner's hall,
was a great success. There were
just rs present, including those
from town, and everybody SEEM
ed to enjoy the evening i'm
mensely. Plates were laid for
an even 100 but some of the
farmers and some of the club
members were evidently too busy
to get in for the supper.
President Brewer of the Com
mercial club, acted as POSTMASTER
and after everybody had drank
their coffee and eaten the ice
cream, he called upon several for
responses to the subjects as
signed them.

President Brewer was partic-
ularly good as toastmaster and
his Introductory remarks each
time were very appropriate.
The responses were appropri-
ate and timely, and Mr.. Brand
jord and Mr.. Thornburgh espec-
tally pleased the assembled dim
ers.
The closing song, "How Dry |
Am" was altogether too appro-
pirate for banquet.
The next affair Of this kind
will be held on May II, at which
time the farmers living south of
township q, will be the guests.
These meetings are expected to
be Of benefit to both the town
and the farmer, and it is hoped
that MANY more will be held.
