AFTER ELECTION
RAILROAD TALK

From Tacoma comes the gooc
word that the Milwaukee railway
has made another move to pro.
vide transportation for the great
portions of Montana now un.
marked by steel rails.
Surveyors" the report says
"are in the field between Great
Falls and Choteau, about u
miles northwest, to which point
the Lewistown-Great Falls ex'
tension, now building, will be
rushed when the line is complet.
ed into Great Falls. ....
President Earling has already
obtained an appropriation for the
Choteau extension from the
board of directors in New York.
Eventually the Great Falls-Cho-
teau line will be extended north
west to Kalispell or some point
on the a-Kalispell- -Fernie
line yet to be built. While the
Milwaukee has surveyed many
extensions in Washington, some
of them will wait until Montana's S
needs are more adequately filled.
Every Milwaukee executive, in
cluding President Earling, Mr..
Goodnow, his assistant, Presi-
dent Williams and Vice Presi-
dent 1ngersoll of the Puget
Sound road is a firm believer in
Montana's rapid developments.
Further, every Milwaukee execu-
tive possesses a copy of the
Great Northern railways twenty
third annual report, showing the
Hill roads projected 800 miles
of second main line across Mon
tana and part of North Dakota.
The Milwaukee plans even more
railroad building in Montana.
That Great Northern map forms
an incentive to keep laying new
rails somewhere in Montana.

GOVERNMENT AGENT HERE
SELECTING AGENCY SITE

An agent from the depart
ment of Indian affairs has been
on the reservation for the past
week or ten days looking up a
desirable location for the Indian
agency, now located at Jocko,
which it is proposed to move to a
more centrally located point. In
company with Major Morgan
and Duncan Mcdonald the agent
has visited Roman, Ravalli, Dixon
and a couple of contemplated
sites on Post creek, but so far as
known no expression has been
heard as to the place most likely
to be selected.
Roman people believe the
proper place for the new agency
is at Roman and would like very
much to have this place selected.
Other points are doubtless as
anxious to be selected and the
outcome will be watched with
interest.

TWO STORIES FOR
SCEARCE BLOCK

Stanley Scearce decided the
first of the week to continue his
new store building to a double
story and work to that end is
now proceeding. The upper
floor will be used for office pur-
poses and the furniture depart
ment. 1t will contain twelve
fine office rooms and a furniture
room 65x88 feet.
This will make the Scearce
block the largest and best store
building on the Flathead reser-
walton. Built of cement brick,
modern in every respect, with
every fire protection possible, it
is a credit to the reservation
country Roman and Mr.. Scearce.
The first story is completed and
the walls for the second story
will be very nearly so this week
and with good weather the en-
tire structure will be ready for
occupancy by the middle of De-
cember.

BUILDING NEW HOME FOR
FIRST NATIONAL BANK

The Lumber Co., started work
Monday morning on a new bank
building for the First National
bank. The site is on the corner
east of the Pioneer office and
will face the north with a side
entrance on the east. 1t will be
erected of lumber but it is the
intention to veneer it in the
spring or early summer.
This is another step toward re-
building the town to it's former
size, prior to the fire, and with a
continuance of the present pro-
gress in that direction it will be
only a short time until this is
accomplished and even surpass-
ed. That the business men of
Roman have an abiding faith in
the future of the country and
town could not be shown in a
more forcible manner than in
the way they are going ahead
with permanent and substantial
improvements.

WILSON DAY Was
WELL attended

The Wilson Day meeting last
Saturday evening was well at
tended the hall being crowded.
Everybody brought their pipes
and alfalfa tobacco made a peace
smoke which sufficed to remove
all the rancor and ill feeling
engendered during the campaign.
The Wilson high balls were a
good sample Of cider, served by
Ross Lemire.
The discussion was participant
ed in by adherents of all the
parties, being led by F. ]. White
for the republicans, who told one
of the best base ball stories of
the season and it has been agreed
to vote him a Carnegie medal;
Rev. j. G. Ross was next as an
advocate Of the democratic party
followed by DR.. w. r. Sheen for
the Bull Moosers and E. e. Hea-
ley for the socialists. Then liver
M. Brandjord for the democrats
and DR.. M. w. Hall for the pro-
gressives. Each side was then
given three minutes for rebuttal
and White, Ross, Sheen, Healey
and Brandjord summed up for
their respective sides.
A vote was then taken on the
best speech made during the
evening, and whether it had
anything to do with the senti-
ment Or not the Pioneer is not
prepared to state but the result
was favorable to the socialists as
it stood:
Socialists 81, Democrats 6S,
Bull Moosers IS and Republicans
3.

Democrats Return
ed to Power.
TAFT MAKES POOR SHOWING

Early returns Tuesday night
indicated a sweeping victory for
the democratic party in Tues
days election, and the later re-
turns made it even more of a
general cleanup.
Wilson appears to have at
leas 3S7 electoral votes, Taft IL
and Roosevelt 20, with Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota
and Wyoming in doubt. The
democrats have increased their
majority in the lower house of
congress and are claiming con-
troll of the senate. 1t is conceed-
ed to be the most sweeping VIC
tory recorded in years and after
March 4th next the democratic
party will be in absolute control
of all branches of the govern
ment. 1t was not only a national
victory but many heretofore re-
publicans states have been car
ried by the democrats.
In Illinois, California, Wash
ington, Michigan, South Dakota
and several other states the Bull
Moose vote was big factor, car
rying some for the head of the
ticket and winning many of the
state and county officers and cleo
ting a number of congressman.
Congressman Berger of Milwau-
kee, the only socialist in con-
gress, was defeated for re-elec-
ton by a fusion of democrats
and republicans.
Tabulated returns, incomplete,
of Missoula county, and other
general election news will be

WILSON WINS PRESIDENCY

pended in building works which,
although not yet completed, are
already furnishing water to about
$4,000 farms. One of the diff
culties experienced by the set
tlerf upon the public lands re-
claimed under the terms of this
act has been that they could not
obtain patent to the land until
the water provided under the
terms of the act has been paid
for, and thus they could not use
the land as the basis for borrow
ing money to improve their
farms and enable them to get a.
start.
"The recent amendment pro-
vides that the settlers may OBJ
tain patent to the land upon
compliance with the provision of
law applicable to such lands as
to residence, reclamation and
cultivation. In other words, if
they have lived upon the land
for three years, have reclaimed
at least one-half of the irrigable
area and have kept up the
charges, patent can issue and
thus the entryman will be in a
position to borrow money upon
the land.
while this is the primary OBJ
ject of the law, there are also
even more far-reaching provis-
ions, the most important and
radical Of which is the absolute
limitation of water rights OBJ
tanned under the reclamation act
not to exceed 100 acres. Under
the law, as it formerly stood, it
might be possible for a man or
corporation to purchase the farms
into a considerable holding. Now
however, if this is done the
water right will be forfeited,
and provision is made that any
excess land over 16O acres,
which is acquired in good faith
by descent, by law or by FORE
closure of the lien may be held
for two years and no longer, and
the excess holding shall be for
feited to the United States.
This prevents consolidation of
lands irrigated by works built by
the government, and while it
may work hardship in some
cases, it is believed will result
beneficially. No large owner
can thus enjoy the liberality of
the government.
"Attempts have been made in
the past to evade the 100 acre
limitation by subdividing the
lands, putting the title in the
names of near relatives, but it is
probable that under the wording
of this act such attempts to
evade the letter of the law may
jeopardize the ownership Of the
property to an extent at least to
prevent any considerable evasion
of the intent.
Another provision which will
greatly add to the convenience
of the water user is that permit
ting payment to be made direct
ly to the local offices Of the recla-
nation service instead Of requir-
ing payments to be made at the
remote land offices, involving, in
some cases, expensive journeys.
This also reduces the cost of ac-
counting, as only one set of ac-
counts need be kept, and that
upon the project itself, cutting
out the records which formerly
have been maintained in the land
Offices"

Roman Gives Him a
Handsome Vote
EVERYTHING GOEsDEM0CRA7|C

Election day in Roman passed
off quietly, with a large vote be-
ing polled. From early morning
till late at night the interest kept
up, many farmers coming. in
early, and by noon just 100 votes
were cast. Of this number the
larger part were by farmers liv-
ing at a great distance from
town, many of the resident town
voters not voting till later. From
noon till 6 o'clock ZIG votes were
cast and every booth was occu-
pied and several waiting all the
time for an opportunity to mark
their ballots. Aside from it be-
ing a presidential election, inter-
est centered in the election of
the local candidate, A. J. Brow
er, and his friends were tireless
workers all day. This is shown
by the result in Roman precinct
where he received 230 votes out
of a total of 316 cast. 1t is just
what elected him also, as he
needed every vote he received.
AS a whole, the democrats car
ried the precinct, Wilson having
a plurality of 8 over Roosevelt
and 72 over Taft. The vote
standing Wilson 116, Taft "A,
Roosevelt 108, Debs 80.
T. j. Walsh received lib, Dix
on 100, Smith 81, for United
States senator. ..
Edwards, the Bull Mooser,
carried the precinct for governor,
receiving 90, Stewart 81, Wilson
76, Duncan 40. For congress,
John M. Evans of Missoula, was
high man with 100, Stout, his
running mate SO, Pray 81, Allen
SO, Everett 73, Horkan II, La
Beau 32, Mabie 20.
For the legislature, aside from
Brewer, Higgins led with 81
votes, the others trailing along
close together.
The result in Missoula county
shows that the democrats elec-
ted most of the county officers,
the same being Kuphal, dem.;
Rigging, rep; Brewer, rep;
Prescott, dem, and Glasscock,
prog, for the legislature; Dun
can and McCulloch for the dis
trict judges. Conlon, dem. clerk
of court; Flynn, dem. county
commissioner; Darlington, dem.
county clerk; Kelley, dem. sher-
if; Hicklin, dem. treasurer; Cur
rie, dem. assessor; Hefron, dem.
county attorney; Hathaway,
rep. auditor; Bonner, rep. sur
veyor, with Marsh, rep. for cor
oner, and Mrs. Reinhard, rep.
for superintendent Of schools,
both claiming to be elected, and
the chances in their favor.
The showing of the progress
sives in the county as whole
was a surprise to both the old
parties. They did not succeed
in electing but one officer, that
of Glasscock for the legislature,
but their combined vote will be
more than the vote for either Of
the other parties.
The election has demonstrated
one thing to the satisfaction of
reservation voters. That is that
the voting population here must
be considered in future elec-
tions, Mr.. Brewer having dem
onstrated that with a practically
unanimous vote as was given
him, we could elect any man we
wanted to. The vote in Roman
given Mr.. Brewer is what turned
the trick for us.
