Almost a Fire

Monday forenoon the batteries
of the Independent Tel. Co. be-
came short circuited and started
an incipient blaze, in the main
office in the Pioneer building.
Mrs. Stillman and Miss Coulter
had been having trouble for
some time with the working of
the system but were unable to
tell just what the trouble was,
until smoke was discovered
coming from the battery cabinet.
They gave the alarm and the

BASE BALL SCORES
FOR SUNDAY GAMES

Two good games were played
on the reservation Sunday, even
though Roman did not figure in
either of them. One was at Pol
son between that town and Big
Arm, and resulted in a 2 to l
victory for Poison. The Big
Arm team was scheduled to play
here on that date but it was so
rainy in the morning that Man
ager Carper cancelled the date
and they went to Poison, About
noon the weather man was kind
to the fans and brought the sun
out nice and bright and it was a
splendid day for game, and
everybody here was sorry the
game was called off. 1t looked
like the best possible thing to do,
however, at the time the game
was Cancelled.
The Reclamation team went
down to the Mission Sunday last
and completely humiliated the
Reds of that town. The score
was Is to 0, and it is an easy bet
Andrew Beckwith has not come
to yet. Earl Wagner pitched for
the Reclamation and Bricker
caught, and with Stotler on
third base, it must have looked
like a Roman team alright. Ad-
ded to these stars was Red"
Braham at short, than whom
there is not a faster man on the
infeld of any other amateur
team in the state, and who hits
with a regularity very discon-
certing to all pitchers. 1t is said
to have been a slaughter on the
part of the Reclamation.

SOME SAMPLES OF
fine WINTER WHEAT

J. A. McGeorge brought in
some samples of fine winter
wheat last week Friday which
are the best seen this year. The
straw measures better than four
feet in length and the heads
give promise Of being long and
well filled, in fact Mr.. McGeorge
says there is nothing now short
of a severe hail storm which can
keep him from having a bumper
crop.
He has over $50 acres in fall
grain and several hundred acres
in spring crop. With all this
wheat, he is an ardent advocate
Of dairying as the best possible
enterprise the farmers in the
Flathead valley can engage in as
a profitable business. He says
that his few COWS last year were
a much better paying proposition
than his wheat and that as soon
as creamery is established in
Roman he will engage extensively
in that business.
This seems to be the general
sentiment of all the farmers in
the valley and with such a con-
dition prevailing, there should
not be much hesitation on the
part of creamery people in build
ing and operating the same.
1t is not contended that all the
farms in this valley are adapted
to the dairying business better
than anything else, but the great
majority Of them are, All the
foothills and along the creeks
there are hundreds of acres of
land which will furnish as good
pasture as any country, and that
being true, the introduction of
good COWS, we'll cared for, will
be the means of bringing more
into the valley than all
other enterprises put together.

b0UNT|FUL RAINS
OVER RESERVATION

The farmers of the entire res
ervation are jubilant over the
bounteous rains which fell Sat-
urday and Sunday. That is stat
ing it very mildly, and their
broad smiles tell the story in
much more forcible language
than the Pioneer is able to state
in print.
The winter wheat is just at
that stage of growth where good
rain assure bumper crop, and
it came just when wanted.
Spring grain will be greatly ben
efitted by the soaking and in
many instances would make a
crop if there were no more rain
fell. 1t helps the hay, gardens,
pastures, everything, everybody.
There had been threatening
weather for several days, and in
portions of the valley very CRATE
full showers have fallen, but it
was not until Saturday after
noon that the downpour became
general. Soon the ground was
soaked and the moisture makes
good crops an assured fact all
over this section of Montana.
The rains have been coming
about as wanted and this has
caused the impression to get
rooted that irrigation was not
absolutely necessary to raise
good crops here every year.
During the time it was becoming
dry, quite number wished for
the privilege of turning a good
stream of water loose that they
might soak up the ground, and
thus are more favorable to the
reclamation. Even now, farmers
say they are willing to take their
chances with a good reclamation
ditch handy, and they are right
in that, too. The reclamation
will be the best insurance they
ever paid for.

ONE DEAD AND TWO
OVERCOME WITH GAS

A sad accident occurred in
Moiese valley last week which
resulted in the death of one man
and two rendered unconscious by
the deadly gas in a we'll. The
accident occurred on the farm of
James M. Carver, and the cause
was the damp or gas in the we'll
which had been dug to a depth
of so feet and drilled from there
on to water. Ora Sumner went
down to fix the piping and sue
cumbed to the effects of the gas,
and Leon H. Thomas who was
working with him, descended to
render assistance and he too was
overcome. Then Carver went
down and it was only by throw
ing water in the we'll that he
was able to retain consciousness,
and undoubtedly would have
died had it not been for other
timely assistance.
A Mr.. Milton and R. G. Brown
finally came to the assistance of
the men, and Brown went down
also and fastened a rope to the
body of Sumner and he was
hoisted out but was not alive. He
again descended and helped both
Thomas and Carver out. Thomas
was unconscious but Mr.. Carver
was not. Everything possible
was done to resuscitate Sumner,
but it was futile. He leaves a
young wife and little daughter.
The remains were taken to Okla
homa for interment.

Taft Delegates Re-
tain Seats.
ROOT ELECTED TEN. CHAIRMAN

The republican national con.
vention assembled in Chicago
Tuesday and was called to order
at 1902 o'clock, amid great con.
fusion, and it required the SER
vices of several policemen to Sc.
cure silence sufficient to proceed.
The first thing done was Gov.
Hadley of Missouri rising to q
question Of information and
asked if a temporary roll had
been prepared. Barnes of New
York raised a point of order
against Hadley and the chair
ruled in his favor. Hadley ap-
pealed from the decision of the
chair and upon motion the appeal
was laid on the table.
After this preliminary skirm-
ish, Senator Root of New York
and Gov. McGovern of Wisconsin
were placed in nomination for
temporary chairman and many
seconding speeches were made
by delegates from many states.
The roll call resulted in a vote of
558 for Root, 5O2 for McGovern,
9 for Lauder of North Dakota,
3 for Houser of Wisconsin. The
Wisconsin delegation refused to
vote solidly for McGovern, pre-
sented by the Roosevelt men, at
the suggestion of LaFollette,
who refuses to be a party to any
alliances or combinations.
Temporary Chairman Root
was then seated and delivered a
speech in which he attempted to
strike the keynote of the coming
campaign, after which the con-
vention adjourned until II a. m.
Wednesday.
The convention was called to
order Wednesday morning at
Ills, and a motion was made at
once by Gov. Hadley of Missouri,
to exclude from the temporary
roll call of the convention the
names of 80 Taft delegates. This
motion was argued for three
hours and upon being completed,
Gov. Deneen of Illinois, moved
that the 80 delegates whose
places were under test, be not
allowed to vote and a motion to
table this motion was adopted by
a call of the roll 564 to $40.
Aside from much speech MAX
ing and great demonstrations for
prominent men, there has been
nothing done aside from electing
a temporary chairman and the
of the committees.
1t will probably be Friday or
Saturday and maybe not until
next week before a ballot is taken
on the nomination of a candidate.
There is much talk of a COM
promise candidate, with Hadley
Of Missouri, Cummins of Iowa
and Hughes of New York, most
mentioned.
The latest bulletin from the
convention is that both Taft and
Roosevelt have released their
delegates in hopes of affecting a
candidate.
