ferries owned by the county, and
they are proving of much bene-
fit to the people of that section
and this ferry would be equally
advantageous to many people.
1t would seem to be a propo-
sition which should be considered
jointly by the boards Of county
commissioners of both Missoula
and Sanders counties, as it af-
fects citizens of both counties.
The ferry now owned by Allen
Sloan can be purchased and he
will agree to continue to operate
it and his successful operation
of the same in the past is guar
antee enough as to his capabil-
tiles for the future. During the
past three years he has never
had an accident and is a careful
man in the handling of a ferry.
All those settlers near Sloan
come to Roman to do their trad
ing and an effort should be made
to secure a more economical
method of getting to and from
Roman for them.

Power Men on Reservation

Geo. H. Hill, w. J. Bradshaw
and A. S. Hovey of Helena, the
two former in the employ of the
Missouri River Power Co., and
the latter a civil engineer Of that
city, were on the reservation
three or four days lately. They
stopped in Roman but a short
time, going on up to the lake
where they are said to have
taken notes and made investiga-
tions regarding the establish
ment of a power line.
These are the gentlemen who
created such a furor at Poison,
upon their arrival in that town,
it being surmised that they were
sent out to locate a railroad into
that burg. 1t is surprising what
a lot of excitement a man in
kahki and lace boots can create
in that town which stands little
chance of ever being on q rail
road.

WORST STORM OF SEASON
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

The worst storm of the season
struck Roman Tuesday evening
and continued all night and We'd
nesday. At first it was merely
a strong wind which turned into
a snow and a fierce blizzard rag
ed all over the valley. Snow
was drifted and pierced every
crevice and crack and taken as a
whole was very disagreeable.
This storm was drifting west
ward, it having been raging east
of the mountains and in the east
ern states several days before it
reached the Mission Valley. The
wind was very cold and it can
really be said to be the worst
storm we have had in years.

TRYING TO FREEZE
HIM OUT He SAYS

Alleging that he is up against
a freeze out game, J. D. Lar
son, cashier of the Roman State
bank today asked the local dis
trict court for an injunction
against the Roman Townsite
company, Edward Clairmont and
Alphonsus L. Crawford, both of
Roman. Larson seeks to enjoin
the two men from forming the
Roman Townsite company. He
asks that they be ordered into
court and that he be given his
share of stock in the company to
which he says he is entitled.
The action grows out of 100
acres Of land adjoining Roman on
the west. In his complaint
which was filed through Attor-
ney Harry H. Parsons, Larson
sets up that he joined with
Clairmont and Crawford in the
formation Of the Roman Town
site company and that he invest
ed So, 1896. He claims that he is
entitled to the majority of stock,
but insists that the two men he
names defendants are trying to
organize the company without
him.
Larson asks that the men be
cited into court and that they be
forced to recognize him. Mis-
soula Sentinel.
Some of the facts are little
muddled in the above story,
principally in stating that Lar
son is cashier of the Roman
State bank. The facts are that
he was formerly cashier of the
First National bank but retired
some months ago from that posi-.
ton.

that vicinity who would be ac-
comodated should the scheme

which every business man in Ro-

many of the runs Roman scored
in many a close game being due

soula team when hit would

His friends here will be pleas

also sorry to lose him on the Ro-
nan team as his place will be

One Mile North of
Dixon Selected
WORK TO COMMENCE SOON

WuKk III CUmmtNCE SUM
The site for the building of
the new Flathead Indian agency
buildings has been announced
and Dixon, a thriving town on
the N. P, to the south of us, is
the chief beneficiary. An in
spector from the department at
Washington was sent out and
after making and exhaustive in
vestigation and taking into ac-
count all matters concerned, has
decided upon an Indian allotment
near Dixon as the most suitable
place upon which to build per-
nanent new buildings.
There can be no criticism with
merit, as-to his choice. He has
shown good judgment and there
will be no bitter feeling upon
the part Of the people of Roman
toward our. Dixon friends in
landing the plum. We would
have liked to have had the
agency come to Roman, but ex-
tend congratulations to the sue
cessful winner.
This selection of site for the
agency brings hopes to us that
it was not decided upon until all
the facts regarding the building
of a railroad was positively
known. 1t begins to look like
the coming of the RAILROAD and if
it does the people up this way
will benefit enough by it's build
ing so we can afford to lose the
agency.
A Washington dispatch to the
Missoulian, dated March Is, says
in regard to this matter:
The Indian office has finally
approved the report of the in
spector who was sent to the
Flathead agency some months
ago to select the site for the con-
struction of the new Flathead
agency buildings.
After a thorough reconnois-
sance of the Flathead country
and only with the view of secur-
ing a central location for admin
jstrative purposes, the inspector
recommended the purchase of an
Indian allotment on the east side
Of the Pend d'Oreille river about
one mile north of the town of
Dixon. Eighty acres have been
purchased from an Indian and
plans and specifications are COM
pleted at the Indian bureau for
the new agency buildings. Work
will be begun within the next
Jew weeks.
The inspectors report shows
that the new location will be CEN
trally situated for dealing with
the somewhat scattered Indian
allotments.
The immediate construction of
the branch line of the Northern
Pacific from Dixon to Roman and
possibly on to Poison will put the
agent in direct touch with Indian
allotments in the vicinity of Ro-
nan. The east and west line of
the Northern Pacific will place
the new agency in close touch
with the Indians allotted around
Arlee and the old agency and
will be much easier of access to
the Indians on the west side of
the Pend d'Oreille river.
More than a year ago Senator
Dixon obtained an appropriation
of $40, 900 for the rebuilding of
new agency buildings at such
convenient place as the Indian
bureau might select for that pur-
pose," and after full investiga-
tion by an inspector, the site
near Dixon was recommended
by the inspector and the transfer
