FORMER RESIDENT OF VAL.
LEY ADMITS PENSION FRAUD

A press dispatch from Big
Sandy tells of John Truax, form
erly a resident of this valley
near st. 1gnatius, having con-
fessed to pension fraud. The
story is that latter having en-
joyed a pension of $12 per month
for 16 years, John Truax con-
fessed that he never had been
entitled to the money. He was
bound over to the federal district
court. Truax might have gone
on drawing the pension until
death had he not lately made
for an increase and
this necessitated an examination
of the record"
1t will be remembered by those
living near st. 1gnatius prior to
the fall Of 1910. that Truax lived
near there, and removed to Big
Sandy in the fall of that year.
The disclosure comes as a sur

establishment of a new road in
the vicinity of the road in con-
troversy and the abandonment of
the present road to Sloan's ferry,
over which the trouble has oc-
Cured. He says that over sixty
residents in that section have
signed the petition above referred
to, and that the proposed road is
capable of being made into a
much better one than the road
sought to be abandoned, and
would not traverse diagonally
anyone's land as at present. AS
to these allegations the Pioneer
is not informed.
This paper has not nor does it
intend to take any part in the
local road sqabbles. It will make
an effort to print the news and
leave the merits of such matters
to the disposal of the proper Of
ficials. The board of county COM
missioners will probably investi-
gate thoroughly and do what they
think is best and right, and the
Pioneer believes the wishes of
people most directly affected will
receive careful consideration.

BECK TO FLY IN ROMAN
ON WEDNESDAY, JULY g

Arrangements have been COM
pleted with Walter Beck, the
Missoula aviator, an exhibition
OF at least 20 minutes duration
will be held in Roman on
next Wednesday, July 23. This
will be the first event of this
kind on the reservation and will
undoubtedly attract a large num-
hey of people here on that date.
Mr.. Beck lives in Missoula and
is we'll known to a great many
people in this section and he has
made a number of successful
flights during the past two years,
the most notable one being on
July 4th, when he remained in
the air at Missoula for 12 minutes
giving one of the best exhibitions
of the kind ever witnessed in the
Garden City. To those who have
never witnessed an exhibition of
a man and a flying machine in
the air at high elevations, this
will be an opportunity of doing
so. While flying is recognized
as the most dangerous feat one
may attempt, it has the faculty
of attracting attention and hold
ing the spectators spell bound.
1t is a grand sight and none
should miss it.
There will also be base ball
game here that afternoon be-
tween Roman and Poison, and as
the local team has been strength
ened in some of the weak places,
a good game may be expected.
TO finish out the day in proper
manner, there will be dance in
the evening at the Roman opera
house, at which time the good
floor and splendid music will
afford all who dance an oppor-
tunity to enjoy this pastime.
There will be no charge for
seeing the flying exhibition, the
citizens of Roman having ar
ranged for this. All are urged
to come.

start late in the season and do
not have time to seed before cold
weather sets in, they live over
winter and reproduce very early
next season. Even from seeds
terminating in the spring, the
plants grow with great rapidity,
and mature seeds early in July
or even in June. Others come
on later so that ripening seeds
may be found during the rest of
the season.
The sample of this weed
brought in by Mr.. Eckley was
grown right in Roman and just
how much of it there is can not
at this time be told. A sample
may be seen by calling at the
Pioneer. Those farmers not ac-
quainted with this weed, should
become so. that they may take
precautions against it getting a
start on their premises.
The Bozeman Courier has a
long story about this weed which
is of much value, having been
furnished with the data evidently
by the agricultural college. This
article states that large portions
of Gallatin county are already
useless this year to the owners
on account of the weed taking
possession of the land.
Farmers, don't allow this fan
weed to get the start it's first
cousin, the Jim Hill mustard, has
here. Become acquainted with
it and stamp it out upon it's first
appearance.

SKINNED PROPER
LAST SUNDAY

The Dixon team came up last
Sunday even if it did blow harder
than ever experienced here in
three years, barring the day of
the big fire last August, and
gave Roman the worst drubbing
administered this season. The
wildness of Phil Hull contributed
largely to this result, eight men
being given free transportation,
one of which forced in a score,
and coupled with several costly
errors on the part of some of the
other players. Then, too, they
were unable to get but one soli-
tary, lonely hit off Aldrich and
had it not been for a wild throw
or two to bases, Roman would
have had a big goose egg for
their side of the score card.
Dixon only secured three hits
off Phil but his giving them
bases on balls was the undoing.
1t is too great a handicap to have
eight men walk and it would re-
quire miraculous fielding to hold
a score down in such cases.
Seven Dixonites circled the bases
while only two Roman men
crossed home plate. Harry Place
got the only hit credited to the
locals.

gan to go out the price of butter
rose rapidly until today the local
selling price is 80 cents. To
those who now sell butter this is
equal to the price received for
cream, but the labor is greater in
butter making than in marketing
the cream.
The two methods makes either
one more profitable to the farm
er and enables him to have a pay
day every time he comes to
town. 1t benefits the local mer-
chant at the same time, as they
can now dispose of the butter at
home at a profit which he was
not able to make when such
quantities were received as to
over stock the market. He has
no excess to ship out now like
once prevailed and the result is
of advantage to everybody ex-
cept the local buyer. The con-
sumers probably pay a little more
now for butter than had there
not been a station here, but the
general quality of the butter is
much superior.
The industry is to become the
leading one of the locality and
experience of older sections will
be repeated here. The more
cows and hogs a country has,
the more prosperous the people
are and it is not a long look into
the future when there will be
no grain raised here for ship
ment. 1t will all be fed to dairy
cows, hogs and chickens and in
stead of the country being on a
credit basis ten months in the
year, there will be a pay day
every week.

MISSION VALLEY FARMERS
WILL BUY MORE COWS

After selling cream now for
over two months, the farmers of
the valley are seemingly satisfied
with the experiment and every
day one hears of those who in
tend to purchase more dairy
cows. Some of those who have
been selling cream say that the
present price of butter will be an
inducement to make butter while
others announce that they intend
to continue to sell the cream.

wife rather) to make butter and
sell it on the local market, the
price would probably be much
less than where some sell cream
and others market the butter.
Either one would probably not be
as beneficial as to combine the
two courses of procedure in dis
posing Of the product. Early in
the season of cream selling in
Roman the price of butter was
low, selling at around 20 cents
per pound. but as the cream be-

FANWEED IS
GETTING START

Geo. c. Eckley brought a sam
pie of the fanweed to this office
on Tuesday, which weed very
few farmers probably have any
knowledge Of. This weed be-
longs to the mustard family and
the agricultural college at Boze-
man has collaborated a bulletin
on this obnoxious weed, which
tells of means which may be
taken to exterminate it, and
gives some interesting facts con-
corning the plant itself. One
plant, if a large one, will bear as
high as 10000 seeds. 1t is a
native of Europe and Northern
Asia, and has spread into many
parts of North America, but in
only a few places, notably parts
of Northwestern United States
and Canada, has it proved a SER

increases so rapidly that we must

could do it satisfactorily. Jimmy
Dupuis caught three innings,
giving way to Tom Wagner.
The Dixon players and man.
ager kicked about the umpiring
in a manner not experienced
here before this season, even
when they were given all the
best of it. When an umpire will
call balls enough to give eight
men bases. where could they
have any kick coming? They
even threatened to leave the
field. Some of them had the
grace after the game to admit
that they were treated fairly all

are what disgust people with
some games. The Pioneer ad-

team. probably just a little bet

approve of the beefing they in
