steady growth from early in the
fall until the present time, ano
many new residences and busi.
ness houses hove been added tc
the number already built and
occupied. There is not an empty
house in Roman at the present
time and more are under contem-
plation. At this time there are
seven residences under course of
construction, and each one of
this number are for the immed-
late use Of the builders, Or are
under lease before being started.
Five of this number are being
built by men who will move their
families into same as soon as
completed, Two are under lease
and the owner says he could fill
more such houses as soon as they
could be built.
Just now W. S. Hollingsworth,
Frank Meyer, Fred Rehwald, j.
7. Warner and A. Sutherland
are building or are just complet-
ing a new residence each, and
Stanley Scarce has two new
houses nearly completed, which
are already leased.
Crawford & Clairmont are just
finishing a three room office
building and will move into one
of the rooms some time this
week. This is a building much
needed, as offices are impossible
to find in Roman at the present
time.
Aside from what are now
under way, there are many others
who are planning to build, and
present indications are that there
will be no let up in the building
of new places of business and
new residences during the COM
ing season. One of the most
important under contemplation is
two story business house, with
lodge room above the store.
This is also a feature much
needed at the present time as
there are several secret societies
which would organize here at
once were there a hall for them
to meet in. The Masons, Odd
Fellows, Knights of Pythias,
Modern Woodmen and other fra
ternal societies have been urged
to organize and will do so as
soon as a hall can be secured.
There is also a probability of
still another business house, as a
gentleman has been here several
days investigating the situation
and has about determined to
build a store room and open up a
clothing and boot and shoe store.
There must be a reason for all
this activity, That reason is to
be found in the fact that no other
town on the reservation offers
such inducements as to the fu-
ture as Roman. 1t is here that
the railroad will first build to,
and the probabilities are that it
will make this the terminus for
several years, and besides, it
is around Roman that such an i'm
mense body Of irrigated land will
be found, which insures good
crops every year and makes this
town the best situated of any in
all Western Montana. Taken
all together, there is an espec-
tally bright future before Roman,
and another year will find double
the population here as at the
present time, and some are still
more optimistic and place the
growth during the year 1912 at
over 1000 people.
AS the Pioneer has said repeat
edly, keep your eye on Roman,
and if you are not already the
owner of one Or more good city
lots, get busy and buy one.

granite manufacturing interests new
business that has come in since the first
OF the year promises for a better condi-
ton in this line: cold weather OF the
week has made Is hard to conduct work
satisfactorily Additional labor has been
employed by the knit goods manufacture
ers. Among granite factories a little
better feeling Is apparent; some OF these
plants are behind on orders and are en-
ploying additional help. while with others
no increase has been made. with furni-
ture manufacturers the trade Is a little
quiet. Slate quarrymen state they do not
anticipate any increase and report bust
ness for 1911 was from five TO seven per
cent. less than for the year previous. At
woodworking plants new business is COM
ing In well. Wholesale trade in food
stuffs is about normal; la drugs there is
an increase boots and shoes report
normal business. Collections are un-
satisfactory, slowness prevailing notwith-
standing SPECIAL efforts made to collect.
With the retail trade clearance sales
have met with a larger patronage than
was expected; particularly is this true
OF the larger places, In the smaller towns,
trade where there has been no sleighing
has been light. As & whole the clear up

SMALL FARMS FOR MExICANs
From the Mexican HERALD

'rTonn tne Mexican Herald.)
The first move of the government to-
ward buying large tracts of land for the
purpose of cutting them up into small
farms and inviting their settlement by
Mexican agriculturists seems about to
be undertaken.
The Sautena hacienda. an enormous
property owned by lingo Noriega. Bar
ron Zayas and General Porfirio Diaz and
situated in the northern part of the re-
public will he acquired.
Gustavo Madero and General Manuel
Garcia Cuellar are at the head OF the
syndicate which will make the purchase
and begin the irrigation of the land at
once The purchase price and the cost
of irrigation will be- II Is asserted, not
less than 100000.
General D:az had similar plan in
view and had arranged for the govern
ment to pay to the owners the sum Of
100000 for the purpose of irrigating the
property, with the understanding that 1t
was to he sold TO the government to be
parceled out among small farmers on
easy payment terms. The s5.OO.oM was
deposited in the Central bank in this city
In furtherance of the plan, and the money
Is still there for such purpose.
AS soon as the irrigation development
is we'll under way the hacienda will pass
into the hands of the government and
then all Mexicans who are living in Tex
as will be invited to come to Mexico and
take up the lands for settlement and cul
tivation.
In the middle of the big hacienda there
is a small ranch called Colombres. 1t is
intended to cut this ranch up into build
ing lots and build a town there as the
center Of the farming community.

away with myself but was unsuccessful"
He also told the woman not to enter the
room but she did so and found him lying
in bed in pool OF blood. large pool

FIRE AT LORDS FACTORY.

Checks Blaze.

Fire was discovered Tuesday night about
1880 in the building situated in the
rear Of the residence of L. r. Lord on
South Willard street and used as an
engine house and q place for prepar-
ing poultry food. Before 1t was ex-
tinguished. a general alarm was turn.
ed in and all but one Of the fire COM
panies responded. Although the blaze
for time was a stubborn one, the
damage done was small and Ia esti-
mated to be in the vicinity Of $50.
The fire was first seen by Police
Oflcer Henry who sent in a still alarm
to station one. The automobile re-
sponded and was on the scene when
someone else discovered the blaze and
sent in the general alarm. When the
firemen first arrived. the east side or
the building was flaming up to con-
siderable height and 1t looked as
though the men had hard PROPOSE
ton on hand. The automobile
tore through the yard OF the Adams
school and mounted two terraces 80
that the chemical tank was quickly
In operation and as soon as the other
companies arrived a stream of water
was used.
The fire had evidently caught from
the boiler and had communicated
through the entire floor. The east
side of the building was in flames and
before the fire was out small hole
had been made through the roof.
The smoke was dense for the
first few minutes but the chemi-
cal quickly cleared the air and
the remainder of the fight was to
