became known as the overland line

Democratic Convention.

The Missoula county democrat
ic convention met in Missoula
Tuesday and elected 27 delegates
to attend the state convention
which met Wednesday in Butte.
Judging from the newspaper
accounts Of the convention there
was no controversy over any,
thing except the seating of dele
gates from the Sixth Missoula
precinct. A contest was on in
this precinct and it developed
into quite a scrap, but was finally
peaceably adjusted by seating
both delegations with one-half
vote each.
The convention did not instruct
for any particular presidential
candidate, being satisfied with
throwing bouquets at Bryan,
Wilson and Clark.
Stanley Scearce and Ross Le-
mire of Roman were named as al
ternate delegates and both Of
them attended the state conven-
ton. Geo. Euckllousc Of St. Ig-
natius was the other reservation
delegate and he also went to the
Butte convention.
The state convention on We'd
nesday named Governor Norris,
Senator Myers and 7. J. Walsh
as three Of the delegates to Bal
timore. The convention was con-
trolled by the Clark people and
the Montana delegation will be
for him at Baltimore.

Both Games
Won by Roman

Two games were played on the
home diamond yesterday and both
were hung onto the Roman belt.
The sfirst game was with St. Ig-
natius and was won Z to 4 after
considerable wrangling and the
substitution of umpires. Spencer
Sterling could not satisfy both
iies and quit and a Mr.. Grant
Of the Reclamation finished, but
the Mission kicked against him
also. They had a Missoula man
for catcher but needed eight
more like him. 1t was Wagner
Bros. as Roman battery, and La
fountain and Dishmon and Will
son for the Mission. Wagner
had the best of it.
The second game stood Roman
13, Dixon 10. Covell pitched
the first few innings and was so
wild the score stood z to l in ia
vor Of Dixon when Earl Wagner
went in and stayed the slaughter.
From that on it was all over but
the shouting.

Memorial Services.

Last Sunday evening the Mis-
sion church held memorial SER
vices at Post creek in honor of
the old soldiers. The edifce was
beautifully decorated with flags
and bunting, ferns, potted plants
and wild flowers. A number of
patriotic songs were sung, the
choir consisting Of Mr.. aud Mrs.
Frank Lee, Robert Smock, Mrs.
Marcy and Mrs. Buchanan. Miss
Mae Patterson presided at the
piano. Mr.. Gnock delighted the
large audience with an exception
ally fine baritone sole. Rev. Tes-
ter delivered forceful and pat
riotic address and eulogized the
veterans who fought for our lib
erty. He was followed by Colonel
Denny, a veteran of the civil war
and a fine orator. His remarks
were more especially addressed
to the young men and boys, urg-
ing them to always uphold the
flag. The speaker also gave
many personal "reminiscences Of
the war.
The program in it's entirety
would do credit to a city church

Want a Ferry

The settlers west of the Flat
head river in township 21-c2 are
asking that a ferry be established
on the township line between
townships 20 and 21, that they
may get to Roman without trav-
cling by way Of Sloan's ferry or
Poison. It would reduce the
number of miles now necessary
to travel and put them in direct
connection with Roman. Several
of them were in town this week
and all expressed themselves as
desiring to come here in prefer
ence to any other point to do
their business.
They are willing to build the
ferry and do all the work in
cident to it's establishment, but
want the county or business men
Of Roman to furnish the material.
1t would not cost much more
to furnish the material for a
ferry than it does to give din
ners, such as have been served
during the past month, and it
would add to the number trading
here very much. 1t would seem
a good investment to help build
this ferry and some action look
ing toward accomplishing this
object should be taken.
The ferry at Sloan s is so much
out of the way for them to reach
on their way to Roman that it is
really of no benefit and they now
go to Poison rather than travel
the extra distance. If Roman
wants this trade it would be the
thing to do to help the settlers
build it.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1912-05-31
his produce consisted of but

1nlS produce consisted OF but
ter, eggs, hay, grain, potatoes
and such like, and was all used
in home consumption, not a
pound of the hay or grain being
shipped out Of Roman.
This is a particularly good
showing when it is considered
that it was during the winter
months almost exclusively that
the sales were made. 1t was
during a time when the hens
were laying sparsely, the COWS
were giving the least milk, and
the vegetables were still in the
pit.
There is a lot of satisfaction in
these figures. There are five
other general stores in Roman
which have purchased farm pro-
duce during the same period.
Taken all in all, there has been
three or four times as much
more sold by the farmers around
Roman during this time, and
when it is all computed it makes
a sum hardly thought possible.
1t is only a beginning. however,
as the Flathead has only just
commenced to produce, and when
it has become developed and gets
into it's stride, it will be a factor
to be reckoned with.
Indications now point to a
record breaking year all over
this country, and with favorable
weather conditions the excellent
crop of last year will be dwarfed
into insignificance before the
threshing is all completed this
year. There will be ten times
the amount Of farm produce
marketed during the next year
over what has been sold this
year, and where some have ex-
hard times, there will
be found plenty and some to
spare.
Keep your eye on the Flathead.

board of county commissioners of
Missoula county to build an auto
road from Missoula to connect
with the red apple" road to
Spokane, from Mullan, Wallace
and Kellogg, Idaho. A CORE
spondent of the Pioneer, living
at Mullan. writes that he thinks
it would be much more beneficial
to the greatest number of people
were the board of commissioners
of this county to build good roads
on the reservation with the
money it would require to build
that road. He says that he is
more interested in the good
roads on the reservation, having
a homestead here, but that lay
ing all prejudice aside, he thinks
it true that a few years will con-
firm his statement that good
roads here will be of the greatest
benefit. He says that the zap
pie way" road would only ac-
commodate a few autoists at the
