Election For
Incorporation

The board of county commits
sioners have called the election
to determine whether or not
Roman shall incorporate, for
Monday, February 26th, 1912.
The official notice calling such
election will be published for the
first time in the Pioneer next
week.
The judges selected for this
election are A. Sutherland, Cash
Coulter and Harry N. Carper;
the clerks will be Geo. d..
Broughton and Ross Lemire. The
polls will be held at the office of
The Lumber Co.
AS per notice in this issue, the
registration books will be closed
on February Is, 1912, at IS O'Clock
p. M, and all voters are ex-
pected to be registered before
that date. .....
All good citizens will now
unite to make the vote on this
question unanimous for the in
corporation of the town. So
many good reasons why the town
should be Incorporated can be
cited that anything which could
be said against it would be SO in
efficient as to be valueless. Get
in and make the vote a large one
and see to it that all vote yes.

SPEED IN BASEBALL,
What an inficId Double Play Means !r
Time and Action.

Time and Action.
In ah article on baseball in Every
bOdy's Magazine the writer shows the
wonderful speed that IL used in making
some of the plays. He says:
Making first base. though more drn,
matte to watch, is an uneventful ex-
petition compared with the trip to sec
ond 1t takes Il fast man to negotiate
the journey in 3 3-1 seconds. No throw,
ball goes over 500 feet. and if a batted
ball travels beyond the safe limits of n
single throw 1t must be relayed by the
fieders. While you are Watching the
outfielder scnmper after the ball the
relay line Is being swiftly formed in
the infield. There could be no such
quick and accurate fielding of deep
outfeld hits if the outfieIdcr taking the
ball did not know that behind him was
ranged his line of relays ready to take
the ball the instant he could turn and
throw it. The relay line in profes
sional team forms almost automatical
ly.
TO make double play In the lnteld
the shortstop, for example, must field
bail that has been batted about l35
feet. He passes the ball from ten to
twenty-five feet to the second base
man. who must then throw it ninety
feet to first. All this while the batter
IS running ninety feet. Il trick that. as
we have seen, 1t takes q snappy run
ner to turn in 3-5 seconds. It's
close cnll and Il case Of utilizing the
fraction of second. but with sharp
fielding the margin is all on the side
Of the fielders, The double play is the
menace ever threatening the runner Oh

Senator Dixon Writes

The following letter was re-
ceived this week from Senator
Dixon, and it speaks for itself:
II have received and read with
much interest the resolutions
adopted by the Roman CONNER
cial club, relative to various mat
tiers regarding Flathead lands. 1t
is needless to say that I sympa-
thize with nearly everything set
forth in your resolutions, and
have labored long and earnestly
with the department to bring
about the relief asked for.
Il think all of the matters
complained of are subjects for
executive administration, and do
not call for any new legislation.
Il have taken the liberty to
submit your resolutions to the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
together with a letter of mine
regarding these various matters.
Yours very truly,
JOS. M. DIXON.

dent Roman Commercial club,

16 Degrees Below

That was the record for cold
weather last Sunday by the Pho.
neer thermometer. Some ac-
counts differ with this record,
and the variance may have been
due to location and different ex-
posures. While this is an ex-
ception for the Flathead it was
not very disagreeable, as the
wind did not blow and therefore
it was easy to keep the rooms
warm. People who were COM
PEELED to be out doors suffered
with the cold, but those who
could remain in succeeded in
keeping comfortable.
In the east the record was
from 10 to 45 below with the
wind blowing a gale in many
places which added to the suffer-
ing. There is about a foot of
snow on the ground today (Tues-
day. with good prospects of
there being more before there is
less. Sleighing is fine, for the
first time in several years, ac-
cording to old timers, but a
chinook may come along any

Whore the Fruit Grows.

A politician in San Francisco who
has been in Office and on the city pay
roll for many years was addressing Il
meeting of his fellow citizens. 1t was
labor meeting.
"You men must know" spouted the
orator, that you ere the great body
polite in this city. You are the roots
and trunk Of our great municipal tree.
while we who represent you in office
are merely branches on that magnif-
cent tree"
"True for you," piped man in the
back of the hall. But did ye ever
notice all the fruit grows on the
branches. "-Saturday Evening Post

Cutting Down Expenses

The Northern Pacific has en-

there in the number of employees
cutting out stations, section men,

the year notice was sent out to
the effect that after that date

School Notes.

For the present, at least, it
has been decided to get along with
three teachers, as the small room
in the government building is
entirely unsuited for school pur-
poses and for the further reason
that no sympathetic arrange
ment can be made as to classes.
The second grade will be trans
ferred to Miss Smith. Miss
Smith will then have 43; Miss
Kahn Al, and Mr.. Healey 80.
The following scheme was put
before the pupils Of the upper
grades and entered into with a
vim:
Mr.. Healey is greatly inter-
ested in chickens and knowing
the great benefits to be derived
from chickens properly housed
and cared for, the idea of the
pupils raising chickens for pleas
ure and profit was explained and
resulted as follows: Each pupil
is going to raise a few chickens
during the summer. 1t is under
stood that each pupil must raise
only thoroughbreds but of any
type he chooses. Next fall a
poultry show will be held in Ro-
nan by the pupils of the school
where each will exhibit the best
of his specimens. A competent
judge will be in attendance and
prizes will be given the same as
in a regular fair for all poultry
shows. The entries will be linn
tied to chickens raised by school
children. The proposition will be
extended to the whole school.
In the upper grades Mr.. Healey
is going to devote at least two
periods per week to lectures and
upon the subject of
vegetable and flower gardening.
An effort will be made to get
permission to fence a small tract
for a school garden. Each pu-
pill will be given a certain amount
of work to do, will be requested
to tabulate results, explain pro-
and observe plant life
from a students standpoint.

He hurries every morning to catch
a certain car,
He goes to work where hundreds
other toilers are;
His course is never varied; he has
no time to stray;
The route that is the shortest he
takes day after day;
He works upon a schedule that
changes not at all .13,f
In winter or in summer, in spring
time or in fall.
He starts out in the morning, just
as he did before,
To do a certain duty and never
any more;
He has his thirty minutes at noon
to rest and eat.
And when the day is ended he
hurries to the street
To start his journey homeward
night after night the same,
damned in with other people who
do not know his name.
He does not know his neighbors
to them he is unknown;
Beyond his little orbit his face IL
never shown;
He hurries every morning te
catch q certain car;
At night he clings where other
sad-faced strap-hangers are;
And wonders how the people exist
out on the forms,
Deprived of social pleasures and
all the cities charms.

REFLEorloNs.

Nowadays most men regard mar
riage merely as an annoying lit
tie interruption in the regular re-
gime of life.
Economy in a man, like COM
mon sense in a woman, is not a
virtue, but an affliction.
There are just three perfect
things in all the world: boys
first cigar, a woman's first baby
and lovers first kiss.
Most women imagine that
holding" a husband means ty-
ing him to the dining table and
holding him with adarning thread.
Every mans idea Of q perfect
woman is one who is cold, proud
and impregnable to others, but
who will come when he whistles,
get down on her knees when he
frowns and eat crumbs out of his
hand with gratitude.
Many "a husband who could
cheerfully subsist on steady
diet of hash has been nauseoted
by q steady diet Of sentimentality.
No woman can be sure that she
is in love until she has POSITIVELY
decided that to sit at home and
watch some particular man read
the newspaper would be more ev-
citing than going to a roof gar
den.
Summer love and winter love
are about as much alike as ginger
ale and champagne.
When a man takes time and en-
ergy to make love to a woman,
nova days, she ought to pay him
at space rates out of pure graft
tude.
Alas, it takes only one genera
ton to break a gentleman!
