Mrs. Marshall, county superin-
tendent, announces that the next
teachers examination will be
held in the court house, Missoula,
Feb. Esd and oath, beginning
promptly at 9 a. m. She desires
to call attention to the fact that
no one shall be allowed to vote at
the coming school election unless
he or she registers on or before
March 26th. Many ladies think
that because it has notss been nee
essary for them to register in
the past that it will not be nee
essary for them to register for the
school election this year, but if a
lady does not register she may
vote. The law was passed at the
last session of the legislature and
this is the first time it will have
gone into effect.
County Commissioners D. T.
Curran and Dan McQuarrie were
in Roman Wednesday and yester-
day looking after road matters.
They viewed out several pro-
posed roads and from here went
back home via Dixon. In the
early spring they propose to do
some needed work in the vicinity
of Roman, among which will be
the grading Of the road north of
town which will fill up the mud
holes the Poison Courier throws
a fit about in almost every issue.
This will be easy to do, but they
would certainly be up against a
hard proposition if they had to
grade down that big hill this sid e
of Poison. 1t would take the
entire road fund and then some.
Both gentlemen say they will
now come often as they have
paid their subscriptions to the
Pioneer and feel at peace with all
the world. Happy men.
Pablo & Potvin have had wires
strung and pipes laid from the
Central hotel and will soon have
steam heat and electric light in
all parts Of their general store
and warehouse. Modern improv-
ments such as these will soon be
installed all over town, or just as
soon as same are available.

lie NJ. Shaw, former Secretary of the

Hon. Joe b. Thompson of Pauls
Valley. candidate for congressman at
large on the democratic ticket, spoke
to an appreciative crowd of represen-
tative citizens here Thursday night.
The most of his talk was devoted to
the defects of our government and
what he believed to be the correct
remedy which seems to us to be good
ones. He is a progressive democrat
who believes in the rule of the people
and his speech was well received and
we have heard only favorable COM
ments by those who heard him. Mr..
Thompson came quite distance to
meet the people of TeXhoma and we
are sure they appreciate his effort
to get acquainted. He was due to
speak at Boise City Thursday but
owing to a broken down auto he
failed to get there which he regret
ted very much.-Texhoma Argus,
