Roman the Logical Point
For the Indian Agency

Some time ago the statemen
was made that the present build
ings at Jocko, now used for In
dian agency purposes, were il
such condition that new one
must be provided, the old one.
not being worth repairing. T
accomplish this result a bill wa
introduced in congress appropri
ating $4,000 to construct nev
buildings, at some point to b,
hereafter decided upon, at ;
point more centrally located, and
where it would remain perman
emily.
The Pioneer has not urged the
claims of Roman except in a gen.
eral way, for the location o1
these new buildings, but it seems
the time has come when it should
be done.
In the first instance, Roman is
the most centrally located town
on the reservation and would &C.
commodate a greater number of
people than any other point.
Adjoining, and, in fact, within
the limits of the incorporation,
the government has 80 acres of
land reserved for agency pur-
poses. This is sufficient land to
accommodate the buildings and
some to spare. To the north,
south and west Of Roman are to
be found the greatest number of
leasers on the reservation. They
are the ones who must visit the
agency more than any one else,
and were the agency located
here it would be of great conven-
ience to them.
With a good road established
between here and Camas, as is
now the case, it would accommo-
date those who live in that Sec
tion more than any other town.
They could get here more easily
than any other place, and would
be the logical point, everything
considered.
As many Indians reside tribu-
tary to Roman as any other point
and thus it would be as access
ible to the wards as to the white
settler who has business to trans
act with the agency officials.
Petitions are in circulation ask
ing that the agency be located at
Roman, and an effort is to be
made to have a favorable answer
received. It is more than prob
able that other towns will be in
the field also, and no hard feel
ings will be had should they do
so. Each town will strive to ad-
vance its own interests, and as
it seems that the agency should
be located as nearly in the CEN
ter as possible, is the reason why
it looks like Roman should have
the call.
In another year Roman will be
the largest town on the reserva-
tion and here will be the real
center of the reservation busi-
ness. That should be an incen-
tive why'the officials should con-
slider Roman seriously, as it would
then be more patent that to serve
the greatest number would be
only doing justice to those who
must transact business with the
agency officials.
Sign the petitions and help the
cause with every effort possible,
and then if we lose out, no
thought of that we might have
done more toward securing the
location, can hereafter be lodged
against us.

therefrom Consider the thousands Of
dollars annually spent in sending chill

able avenues of sin that are opened
to them when they are away from the

Consider the vast outlay annually to
maintain our scattered. rural schools
where the attendance is small and
teachers wages high. Remember the
exposure Of their children in walking
to and from school in the rigorous
days of winter and in the mud and
water in the spring. Why maintain
outside schools with your money when
you can educate your children cheaper
at home?

Cleveland, o.. March 29.--With what
they said was but disagreement fac
ing them the operators and miners
of the bitiminous coal fields conferred
again today in a final effort to fix a
new two year wage scale to take ef-
feet April and thus prevent a big
coal suspension or possibly strike.
Both sides declared they would
make no concessions and they expect
ed before night to be in a position
similar to that of the anthracite min
ers and operators with negotiations
broken off and suspension of work
ordered to begin next Sunday at
midnight.
Both Sides Blame Other.
New York, N Y. March 29.-The
statement reiterated by operators in
the anthracite region that they are
ready and willing to grant an imme-
diate hearing when the mine workers
desire to communicate with them
may result in another conference
looking to the settlement of the wage
scale and other questions.
The suspension of work, however, on
April is regarded today by the oper-
ators as practically certain. Each
side asserts the responsibility for the
situation rests with the other side.

Theodore Theme Of Ft. Wayne,
Ind, is the chairman Of the spec
ial committee of the Indiana Fed
eral Commercial clubs, which
is seeking to have the state leg
islature substitute the business
form" of city government for the
form of government now used by
the cities of the state. The pro-
posed change has the endorse
ment of every commercial organi
zation in the state and has met
with great popular approval, and
it is believed that there is small
likelihood that the legislature will
not act fayorably on the matter.
The plan is simply this: To re-
gard all the voters in municipali-
ty as stockholders in that munich
pality. As stockholders they will
elect a board of nine directors
who will be responsible for the
conduct of the city government.
These directors, in turn, will elect
q president and governing heads
of the various departments, who
will be responsible to the board
for their actions.

ment Workers International union. now
conducting a strike against the piano
manufacturers of this city for higher
wages and better conditions, is meeting
with a considerable measure of success.
MIR. Dold attempted a difficult task in or
ganizing the piano workers and was sue
cessful; but in order to gain better
working conditions for the men it be-
came necessary to call strike. During
the early period of the contest fifteen
of the manufacturers made satisfactory
settlements, but a new feature has been
interjected into the situation The /.
W. w. enthusiasts have appeared upon
the scene and are endeavoring to dis
hearten and discourage the strikers, and
are also using fallacious arguments
against organizations attached to the
American Federation of Labor. appropri-
ating the tactics of antagonistic employ
ers. This combination forces the piano
workers officials to contest the ground
not only with the employers. but with
this novel brand of so-called unionism.
President Dold states that if the strike
is not entirely successful it will be due
to .treachery of the |. W. W.. which
seems to be working hand in hand with
