New York Herald, Sunday, August 25th.

How the greatest pageant which the United
States has ever projected may become a per-
manent naval exposition, floating in the
autumn from one American port to another,
is graphically told by Representative Steven
B. Ayres in the forthcoming number of the
Sunday New York Herald, August 25th. One
of the most remarkable mausoleums ever
planned, with it's perpetual vigil of light and
its warder ever on guard, is described and
pictured. This government is making an in
teresting sociological experiment in its best
prison. which, however, is not in this country.
If you would know how the Wilson campaign
hackers are getting run for their money, do
not fail to read the Herald.
Did you ever consider what might happen if
you fell overheard at sea? One who knows all
about rescues tells exactly what you and the
rescuers would experience.
Sprightly fiction, an article on art, and the
best Woman's Page in the United States are
some of the features of the forthcoming num-

this fall and get a line on what
the country will likely ship in
during the same period. They
are making an exhaustive exam
ination and it is to be hoped their
report to the board of directors
will be of such a nature as to
prompt the N. P. in building a

Double Header May 80

Manager Carper is trying to
arrange another double header
ball game for May 80 at Roman.
Negotiations are now pending
between Roman and St. Ignatius
and Roman and Big Arm for both
teams to come to Roman on that
date.
If satisfactory arrangements
can be made, one of the games
will be played in the morning
and the other after dinner. The
attendance last Sunday when
two games were scheduled was
such as to warrant the belief
that two games will draw a
crowd again, and it looks like
the people who take pleasure in
witnessing ball games are much
pleased with the arrangement.
By next week the details will
have been worked out definitely
and due publication will be made
so that all may know in advance
just what will be on tapis for
Decoration day.

Becomes Insane.

Monday evening a Miss Bar
tholema, a sister of the Bar.
tholema boys living south of Ro.
nan, came into town in a de-
ranged condition and was taken
into custody by Marshal Engle.
Upon communicating with Sheriff
Kelley, the marshal was instruc-
ted to hold her until an officer
could come out from Missoula,
and Tuesday morning Deputy
Sheriff Swan johnson came in
on the stage and the unfortunate
woman was taken to Missoula.
1t seems she has been acting
strange for a week past, and the
arrest of the party Saturday
evening for the theft of the
Mendenhall diamonds, and the
consequent excitement attend
ing the arrest, completely over
threw her reason and she became
unmanageable.
She is abeut 80 years of age
and it is believed that proper
treatment will restore her to
normal health and mind. The
unfortunate woman had the i'm
preston that her brothers and
others were attempting to kill
her for the theft of the diamonds
and her screams were something
pitiful to hear when she thought
any of them were near her. The
Bartholema boys are doing all
in their power to assist her to
health and composure Of mind.

Missoula to Kalispeli

If plans already arranged do
not go awry, there will be a party
of from 20 to 80 automobiles
leave Missoula in the morning
headed for Kalispell, via Arlee,
Ravalli, St. Ignatius, Roman and
on to the Flathead capital and to
Glacier National park. Harry
L. Shapard of the Shapard hotel,
is promoting the trip and he ex.
poets at least 80 machines to be
in line when the start is made.
Returning the party leaves Kali
ispell on Monday at 7:30 a. M,
and no stops will be made on the
return trip.
This party will be in Roman
about noon, according to plans
arranged, and will be met by a
citizens committee upon their
arrival.

Plain Statement of Facts
Regarding Public Schools

is inevitable is that with four
trustees, who do not live here
and who are not familiar with
local wants and needs, having a
hand in the selection of teachers
for Roman and with only one
who possibly can be in touch
with affairs, it is impossible to
give satisfaction. especially if
there is a desire on the part of
some to give us the worst of it.
1t is stated now that teacher is
liable to be assigned us who is
not wanted and whom the people
where said teacher is now en-
gagged will not tolerate being
again employed and assigned to
their school.
Plain facts will not be appre-
ciated by some who object to a
division of the district, but the
question is too serious to be
treated with silence or with
words which can be made to
mean anything. Roman is able
to take care of herself so far as
funds to conduct the necessary
schools are concerned and it is
high time we got busy and done
so.

Additional Schools in Roman

A special to the Missoulian
dated St. Ignatius, May 13, says:
There was a meeting here to-
day of the school trustees of this
district, which includes all of the
reservation region that is in Mis-
soula county. Much important
business was transacted and
plans were discussed for next
year. All of the present teach
ers were engaged for another
year, with the exception of War
rem D. Harris and James Cowgirl
who were not applicants for re-
appointment. Plans were also
discussed for providing additional
school facilities for Roman.
There will be another session of
the board three weeks from to-
day. At that time several addi-
tional teachers will be chosen for
next year. The reservation
schools are in fourishing con-
dition. Their excellence has
been one of the gratifying de-
velopments of the settlement of
the reserve.

Good Duck Egg Story

About the best duck egg story
yet to be told comes from Ravalli.
Mrs. Joe Hoskins, a sister of
Mrs. John Luallin of Roman, was
here short time ago and upon
returning to her home took along
a setting of 13 duck eggs. I'm
agine her surprise when they
hatched to discover that there
were 13 ducks and one chicken
in the nest. That is a record
hatch and it can only be ac-
counted for by the fact that the
eggs came from Roman where
records are being made every
day.

Wants a Creamery Here

Roy Hargrave was over from
his Little Bitter Root ranch Mon
day and called at the Pioneer
Office to express himself as heart
lily favoring the suggestion made
several times in this paper about
getting a creamery started in
this section. Mr.. Hargrave says
that it is not a new story with
him, that he has had a practical
demonstration of what a few
cows will do for the rancher and
what the value of a creamery is
to a community. Before locat-
ing in Montana he was at Ash
land, Oregon, and he says that
with six grade cows his monthly
income was better than $40 per
COW.
With Mr.. Hargrave and MANY
of his neighbors, it would be a
greater blessing than any other
industry, as they are too far re-
moved from the market to think
of raising grain and with the
outside range furnishing abund-
ant feed for so many months in
the year, it would be especially
beneficial to them.
With such opportunities as the

teams lined up as follows:

pitcher, Aldrich center field,
Hart End base, Vandecott 3rd
base, James right field, Bedard
catcher, Thomas short stop, Men,
ard left field.
The game was not very inter-
esting, except that it was a hit
ting fest from the start, both
pitchers being touched up by
many batters and the score grew
into two figures before the end
came. Considerable wrangling
took place, which seems to have
grown chronic with the players
when on the Roman field, and
two of Romans players were in
jured. Carney slid to third base
and dis]ocated his left shoulder
and retired in favor of Bricker,
and Geo. Broughton was struck
by a foul ball while at the bat
and was knocked out and was
succeeded by Walsh.
The score stood Dixon Is, Ro-
nan II, when it was over and no
one was particularly we'll pleased
with the game played on either
side.
The next game was a better
one from every point of view,
with a pitchers battle all the way
through. Wagner Bros. were
the battery for Roman and Dish
mon and Savage for St. Ignatius,
and it was lone, two, three,
you're OUT" right from the start.
Both teams played classy ball all
the way through, very few errors
being chalked up to either side.
It was as nearly even as a game
could be and have one side win,
but Roman made a final ninth
inning rally and tied the score
and then the winning run before
the shouting really commenced.
st. Ignatius was blanked for
three innings and then succeeded
in getting three men across the
home plate in the fourth, and
drew goose eggs from that time
on. Roman was blanked for four
innings, then one got around,
another followed suit in the
sixth, and in the ninth two more,
or just enough to win the game.
1t was an exciting game from
start to finish and the losers
have nothing to feel defeated
over; they played a fine game.
A large crowd of noisy rooters
came up from the Mission and
encouraged their team at every
point. Considerable money was
wagered and it stayed in Roman
this time.
The lineup and batting order
was:
Ronan--Broughton center field,
Gariepy left field, C. Wagner
End base, T. Wagner catcher, q.
