SECURED SOME FINE
MISSION CREEK VIEWS

L.G. Bigelow, the Roman photo
grapher, secured some fine views
of Mission creek and the falls on
that stream last week while down
there. He says it is a difficult
task to get up to the falls but his
views are worth the labor he ex-
pended in getting them.
To the lover Of nature, and to
the artist, there is no better
place to secure fine mountain
views than along the Mission
range of mountains and Mr..
Bigelow now has a collection
which embraces all the principal
creeks and streams which head
in those wonderful mountains.
He also took several views of
St. Ignatius, including a beauti-
full one of the interior of the
Catholic church at that place, of
which it can be said there is
none more beautiful in the whole
west.

MUST SECURE A STATE Il.
CENSE OR Be PROSECUTED

Secretary A. D. Tuttle of the
department of public health of
the state of Montana, has issued
the following letter:
MANY people are violating the
law of the state by conducting
places of business for which a
state license is required, without
having secured such license.
I'VE believe that in good
many instances this violation is
due to ignorance of the law.
Therefore we request that you
publish the following for the in
formation of the subscribers.
Section 10, chapter 100, Ses-
sion Laws of 1911, requires that
every person conducting any
bake shop, confectionery, can
merry, packing house, slaughter
house, meat market, dairy, res
taurant, hotel, dining car or
lunch counter in the state, Sc
cure a license for such place of
business from the state board of
health at Helena.
"Section 6, of the same chap
ter, provides that any person
who sells or offers for sale any
milk or cream is conducting a
dairy, and is therefore required
to have a license. Licenses are
issued without cost, but appi;-
cation must be made on proper
blank form, which can be secured
by written request of the State
Board of Health at Helena.
AT a meeting of the State
Board of Health on July 18th,
1912, the secretary was ordered
to file complaint against each and
every person in the state con-
Quoting any business mentioned
above, who has not secured a
license from the State Board of
Health on or before August 18th,
1912.
Yours very truly,
A. d. FUTILE,
Secretary.

HEAVIEST RAINS OF THE
SEASON LAST MONDAY

The heaviest rains of the sea-
son fell last Monday afternoon
and evening continuing until
Tuesday morning. About 4
o'clock in the afternoon a hugh
rain cloud came up from the
southwest and the rain fell in
torrents, there being a little hail
accompanying it, but not enough
to cause any damage. From
every direction comes the news
that the rain was general
and spring grain will be greatly
benefited. Not that any kinds
of growing crops were suffering,
but the rain will dispell any
thought that there would not be
sufficient moisture to fill the
heads to overhowing.
Some farmers were busy cut
ting fall wheat and they were
retarded by the rain but the loss
of time will be compensated by
the heavier yields of spring
wheat and oats thus assured.
Farmers who were caught with
their hay down suffer slight dam
age, the hay being discolored
some and not so salable as if put
in the stack without being wet.
Frank Stotler says if you think
it did not rain hard you should
have been with him that after
noon. He was down to Post
creek fishing and was just start
ing home when it began. He
was soon thoroughly soaked, and
trodding along on foot he met an

OF INTEREST TO
SOME SETTLERS

The Pioneer received the fol-
lowing letter last week too late
for publication. 1t came from
Register Shull and is an excerpt
of letter received by him from
the Commissioner of the general
land office, dated July IL, 1912,
and is published for the informal
ton of those interested:
'Sirs: 1t is reported to this
office informally that there are a
number of squatters on lands
classified as timber lands in the
Flathead Indian reservation, who
are relying upon the fact that
they have suspended applications
for their authority for remaining
on the lands. The parties who
filed for such lands or settled
thereon gained no rights thereby.
The law specifically provides a
method by which the timber and
lands classified as timber lands
shall be disposed of. Under the
Act of March 3, 1909 (35 Stat,
1867, the timber on such land is
to be sold by the secretary of the
and thereafter the land is
to be disposed of under regula-
tions to be provided by the secre-
tary of the INTERIOR

Franks appearance must have
been some compensation to the
Indian as he stopped and sur
veyed him all over and then
laughed heartily. Evidently
misery was amused at company.

buggy ever since in coming and
going from home, saying his

BOND OF
TOWN OFFICERS

At the Monday night meeting
of the town council, the bonds of
A. M. Thornburgh as town clerk
and Geo. e. Broughton as town
treasurer were approved and
both entered upon the discharge
of the duties of the office. Both
will prove efficient officers, and
the town is fortunate in securing
their services.
1t was decided to postpone the
opening of bids for the construc-
ton of the town hall and jail one
week, to allow any others who
wish to bid. At the same time
it was ordered that all bidders
must furnish a certified check
for $lO0 to guarantee the MAX
ing Of a bond in case of being
awarded the contract, the checks
of unsuccessful bidders to be re-
turned at once and of the sue
cessful bidder upon filing a suf-
ficient bond.
Other matters took up the time
of the council but no action was
taken.

Fav0rs the Borah
Irrigation Bill
WOULD HELP THE FLA7HEAD

A Washington dispatch dated
July %, says that with view to
furthering the progress of the
Borah bill, directing the issuance
Of patents to homesteaders on
government irrigation projects
when they comply with the
homestead laws, President Taft
called into conference a number
Of the leaders of the house. The
president said that while there
might be details as to which he
would disagree with Senator
Borah, in view of the Importance
of the legislation to the west, he
would set aside his own prefer
ences and do all in his power to
hasten the enactment of the law.
This is a measure which the
homesteaders on the Flathead
reservation would rather see pass
than any other which has at
tracted the attention of congress
in some time. 1t provides that
settlers on land under the re-
clamation projects shall be en-
titled to patents upon fulfilling
the contract they entered into at
the time Of filing homestead
application, that is, living the
required period on the land, the
cultivation thereof and the sub
mission of satisfactory proof
thereof.
At the present time nothing is
given homesteaders who make
final proof to show such fact ex-
cept a mere receipt for the money
paid. In some instances letters
have been received from the de-
partment stating that no further
residence will be required and
that proof was approved,
Should the Borah bill become a
law it will help the Flathead
settlers very much and will con-
fer a favor on them they have
long petitioned for.

JUDGE HANFORD RESIGNS
WHILE he IS UNDER FIRE

Judge C. H. Hanford of Seat
tie, federal judge whom COM
mittee of the house has been in
vestigating for some time, has
resigned rather than suffer inn
peachment. Judge Hanford has
long been obnoxious to the COM
mon people of the state of Wash
ington who were litigants in the
federal court of that jurisdiction,
and his resignation will be hailed
with hearty approval.
The act which caused the in
vestigation was his notification
of the naturalization papers Of a
socialist named Olsen, of Tacoma.
Had it not been for Congressman
Berger of Wisconsin, the first
socialist to be elected to con-
gress, an investigation would
probably have never been held
and the general public left in
ignorance of the many question:
able acts and decisions he has
done and rendered.
He has issued statement
concerning why he has resigned
and closes by saying:
"A judge is never so sure of
being right as when his work
has been criticised unfairly, and
without boasting, in view of all
that has been and may be said
concerning myself and my work,
l am glad that my record is what
it is"
Just how a jurist who resigns
while being investigated, can be
proud of his work or record, is
probably too deep for the COM
mon mind to comprehend, and
aside from those whom he has
favored by his decision, induced

COLLECTING STATE EXHIBIT

There has been some local
prejudice against the state fair.
In instances. perhaps, this pre-
judice was justified. That there
have been excessive charges
made by Helena during the week
of the state fair, there can be
no denial. But we are assured
that these conditions have been
changed. Let us assume that
they have. Let us take hold this
year and seek to make Western
Montana's exhibit at the state
fair all that it should be, and let
us cooperate in every way we
can to insure the success of the
exhibition at Helena. Now is the
time to begin the work. 1t should
be taken up at once and it should
be maintained at high pressure
until the date of the fair.
Let us all pull together.

SOME FINE ORE
ON CROW CREEK

During the past three weeks
considerable prospecting has been
done on the upper Grow creek
mountain sides, and with appar-
emily happy results. Some rock
has been brought in which has
assayed we'll in silver and copper
and the prospects are good that
late assays will reveal the pres
ence of gold in paying quantities.
Ran Roberts brought in some
samples last week which showed
the gold to the naked eye, and
under a glass it was seen to be
rich in this metal. Geo. Seifrid
sent a sample Of the rock to Butte
and received returns showing
seven ounces of silver with II per
cent copper. This was from the
surface and should develop into
much better ore with depth.
1t would be pleasing news to
give out that rich mines had been
opened here. With paying mines
in the mountains and fertile lands
in the valley, it would certainly
be a combination hard to beat.
The fertile fields are a certainty
and it is to be hoped that the
mines will soon be developed.

THOMPSON FALLS FAILED
TO KEEP BASE BALL DATE

The game Of ball scheduled for
last Sunday failed to materialize,
owing to the fact that Thompson
Falls failed to keep the appoint
ment. This is the second time
this year those rubes have de-
ceived the locals and it is prob
able another game will not be
made with them. For two years
or more that village has written
over here asking for a game and
after having arranged to meet
them it seemed like scurry
trick to not keep the appointment
once out of two times at least.
The first failure it was easy to
overlook but when they repeat
the dose it is too much for the
local management.
Manager Carper says if they
are afraid they will not be able
to carry the bacon home with
them" they should have the
to acknowledge the fact
and not just funk out of it.

GEN. MARSHALL To
VISIT THE FLATHEAD

Sometime within the next ten
days, Gen. w. L. Marshall, con-
sulting engineer to the secretary
OF the interior on the work of the
reclamation service, will visit the
Flathead project to ascertain the
progress of the work being done
here. Supervising Engineer Saw
age will probably be of the
party. Several others will ac-
company them and it is expected
much good will come of the visit.
A thorough inspection of the
work should be made. 1t will
reveal what has been overlooked
and show the service just where
the same mistakes need not be
made again. It should demon
strate that the quicker the SER
vice can complete the project the
better it will be for those who
must eventually pay the cost of
the work. That feature may
not be of much concern to the
engineers, but it is to those who
have settled on the land under
the Flathead project.
1t would be a good thing to have
a meeting in Roman during this
trip so that any one who desires
can meet and discuss the situa-
ton first hand.

Piles of Western Montana pro-
ducts for the state fair exhibits
this year---not political. The
editorial in question was, in part,
as follows:
The situation in Western Mon
tana, right now, presents an op-
portunity for the exercise of the
pull-together policy which has
operated to such excellent ad-
vantage in the past. Already,
two counties in this region have
appropriated literally for the
work of the publicity campaign
of 1912. The matter is under
discussion with the other coun-
ties which are represented in the
pull-together association; it is
likely that there will be complete
cooperation all along the line.
Missoula and Ravalli, as was
proper, took the lead in this
movement. They are older in
the work; they have been asso-
ciated in the publicity campaigns
in the past to an extent which
gives them, perhaps, a more
prompt realization of the neces-
sity which exists for proper fair
and land show displays. That
Sanders and Granite counties
will fall into line, we are certain.
They have been willing associ-
ates in the work since they be-
came interested and that they
will maintain their activity there
is every reason to believe.
Each commercial club in the
Western Montana association
must exert itself in this affair if
the displays of this season are to
be worthy of the region which
they are planned to represent.
Each farmer should interest him.

alton; he should select the best

rends the success of the cam
paign ahead of us. The COM
clubs have responsible
ity in this part Of the work and
they must meet that responsible
ity il they expect results. The
response to the call for funds has
been liberal. Now the call for
workers must be just as effect
