Republicans to Meet.

The national committee of the
republican party has been called
to meet in Washington on Decem-
ber 16, to confer on party mat
ters and to take any action which
may be deemed advisable" This
decision has been arrived at only
through urgent requests from
Senators Cummins and Jones, a
committee appointed at Chicago
by the progressive element in
the party, which demands that
the rules of the party be revised.
The principal changes demanded
are in the representation from
southern states and the manner
of selecting delegates to the
national convention, some states
having the primary system and
laws governing the selection of
all delegates, but which the
national conventions of the past
have ignored. 1t is thought that
a convention will be called to
meet in Chicago in the early
spring and some important
changes are expected for the
good of the party.

Yesterdays game was played
in New York, the opposing pitch
ers deing Tesreau for New York
and Bush for the Athletics, Bush
winning the score s to2.
This will be good news to the
fans who saw Bush play in the
Union association last year, he
being one of the pitchers who
assisted Missoula in winning the
pennant. He has many admirers
in Missoula who will be pleased
to hear of his success.
This will necessitate the play
ing of at least five games, as the
team which wins four games are
champions.

ALFRED BAUER GETS FINAL
PAPERS AT M|SSOULA
The Missoula Sentinel of Mon

The Missoula Sentinel of Mon
day last said:
Foreign princes and poten-
tates lost subjects at a rapid rate
this morning in the district court,
when Judge Duncan of depart
ment No. /, held naturalization
hearing. Eighteen aliens came
before Judge Duncan for exam
ination as to their fitness to be-
come citizens of the United
States and all but three passed.
Many nations were represented
in the examination and, had it
been of a competitive nature, the
best places would have been
awarded to Poland. The best
answers of the morning were
given by Alfred Bauer, little
Pole. What Bauer didn't know
about the American government
was not to be discovered by the
searching questions of the pre-
siding judge. Bauer spoke per-
feet English and his answers
showed that he had made a study
of affairs of state in his adopted
country"
Alfred Bauer lives west of Ro-
nan and is one of the good citi-
zens Of the Flathead. Others
from near Roman who secured
their final citizenship papers on
the same day were Stanislaus
Otto, Leopold Rufenach and
Charles Nay.

NORTH END
TEACHERS MEET

At the suggestion of Superin-
tendent Logan, the teachers of
the north end of the district held
a meeting at the old picnic
grounds on Grow creek last Fri
day and organized a North End
Teachers club. Prof. F. w.
Frye was chosen president; Irene
Young, secretary; May kreis,
treasurer.
The object of this club is to
secure better conditions in our
schools and make arrangements
for our annua! spelling contest
and picnic and any other matters
that may arise.
Irregular attendance was then
discussed. The teachers wish to
urge parents to visit the schools,
examine the monthly reports,
and to get more closely in touch
with school work generally. The
Country and Village Teachers
association of Montana, of which
Superintendent Logan is presi-
dent, was commended. 1t is
hoped that this association will
receive the hearty support of
every teacher in the state. 1t
was resolved that we take this
opportunity to unanimously eX-
press our appreciation of our
superintendent and school board.
Those present were Misses
Savage, Kahn, Rafferty,, OBJ
laender and Prof. F. w. Frye of
Roman; Miss Rolfe, CIairmont;
Miss Pollard, Glacier View; Mr.
and Mrs. Robedeau, Fair View,
and Miss Kreis, Grow Creek.

TAKING TESTIMONY AS TO
HE|RSH|P OF INDIANS

John w. Holcombe of WASH
ington, ID. c., examiner of in
heritances in the interior depart
ment, a branch of the Indian
bureau, has been in Roman this
week taking testimony as to the
heirs of deceased Indians to es-
tablish the inheritance. Mr..
Holcombe says he has about 25
cases 10 determine in the vicinity
of Roman and will probably be
here two weeks. He has finished
his work at Jocko and st. Igna-
thus, having about 35 cases in
the latter place, and from here
goes on to Poison, Camas and
Dixon.
When this work is completed
the title to lands of deceased In
dians will be in such a condition
as to make them ready for sale,
should the heirs decide to sell
them. 1t will probably place
many tracts on the market and
should be of vast benefit to the
whole reservation.

LAND LAWS NOT ADAPTED
TO CHANGED CONDITIONS

for speculative purposes, and is
not given the benefit of any pos
sible doubt regarding his good in
tentions.
"A good example is close at
hand in the land laws of the Can
adian government, which gives
all possible assistance to actual
settlers. even to the extending Of
loans up to certain valuation of
the property. These liberal laws
have been taken advantage of by
thousands of good American citi-
zens, who have passed up SUPER
ior lands on this side of the bor-
der, simply because there was a
chance for them to make it stick
across the line, where none ex-
listed here.
'The passing of homestead
lands from hand to hand means
a loss in revenue to the govern
ment, and loss Of time and money
to the settlers. Both would be
the gamer if the laws were ad-
justed to meet the changed con-
ditions.

Keep the Cows

There is some danger that the
farmers of this country are go
ing to kill the dairy goose that
has laid so many golden eggs for
them.
1t has been all too plain to the
man who reads and sees and
thinks that for some years the
number Of dairy COWS has been
diminishing in proportion to the
increase of population. Every
year the prices are advancing
and it is going to be more so if
we keep on with our present
policy.
Not only are the COWS dccreas-
ing, but we are slaughtering the
calves at a terrible rate. With
out calves we cannot grow COWS.
Last spring without a doubt a
million dollars worth of calves
were sent to the market. These
brought the farmers a good bit
of ready money, for the prices
have been good for some time
back. But if these calves had
been kept on the farms of the
country for just one year they
could have been sold for $1O,-
600, 600 and more, and the cost
Of growing them to that age
would have been almost nominal.
But suppose that they had been
grown to COWS. Think Of the
immense value that would have
been added to the dairy busi-
ness of the United States.
For the past ten months in the
good part Of this country a bad
drought has cut off the pastur-
age materially. We have seen
the fields turn dead and brown,
Cattle have suffered in conse-
Quence Of this bad backset, and
many farmers have hurried their
COWS to market rather than to
wait and see whether it would
rain to bring back the pasture
grasses. Thousands of COWS
We're sold in a few weeks in some
of the western states. Already
men are wishing that they had
not been in such hurry, for
good rains have visited the sec
tions which were so dry, bring
ing water and pasturage up in a
wonderful way. But the COWS
are gone, and where can more
be had? If men have any for

Ignore Injunction.

The socialists are having a big
time in Seattle. One of the
district judges Of the court in
that city has enjoined them from
open air meetings and they are
defying his authority. Up to
date many have been arrested
charged with contempt of court
and given heavy fines with i'm
prisonment thrown in for good
measure. Thirty-six men and
women have been imprisoned
and the state central committee
of the party has decided to
ignore the injunction in the
future and will appropriate
money to carry the matter to the
highest courts. The judge who
is so wrathy is, John g. Hum
phries. Such prosecutions of
men and women are what gives
any political party or creed a
standing, and rather than being
a method of stopping the open
air meetings will result in an in
creased interest in them. The
socialists are entitled to just as
much liberty of concience and
speech as either of the other
parties and will be a force to
take into consideration in the
future and Judge Humphries or
any other judge might as we'll
recognize this fact.

sale they are in position to ask
what they desire. That makes
the situation all the worse.
Now that the cows have been
disposed of, the revenue for milk
and butter has fallen off. The
goose has certainly received a
desperate whack over the head,
whether she is killed or not.
Now. | know how hard it is to
face a drought. We have had it
in our own locality this past sum-
mer. Its effects are with us yet.
A man asked me yesterday
whether had ever seen such a
drought as we have been having
here: and although | know that
memory is short and we are apt
to say II never knew such a
time before,' still | could hon
estly reply that it did seem to
me the country never had suf-
fered as it had recently. Our
pastures have been as badly
dried up as anybody's and we
have thought over the PROPOSE
ton of selling some of the cows,
but so far | have not seen my
way to do it.
We have been feeding grain
for some time and furnishing the
best change of pasture we could.
We have two pastures so located
that we can change from one to
the other This always pleases
the cows, and while there has
been falling off in the milk
yield, we are going through all
right, for the rains are coming
and we believe we will have
more, so that we will go through
the season, and it is by no means
likely that we shall see such an
other dry spell in many years.
Another thing we are doing,
and that is to give the best water
supply possible. Water is one
of the greatest blessings a dairy
farmer can have. We have drilled
a well that has not failed so far
and we are thinking of bringing
spring to the house and barn
this fall. With these and a lot
of courage we hope to weather
the storm.
The man who makes the mis-
take of going out of dairying
will, as it seems to me, soon see
that his blunder is a monumental
one. For the price of milk and
butter cannot help being such
that we could have no better
business than dairying. With
the increase of population, which
marks the progress of this coun-
try every year, more and more
dairying will be required and
that, too, at a renumerative rate.

STREET CAR UNION MEMBERS
DEMAND. oSSoSKI BE oUSTED
Seven thousand members of the
street car union have demanded the
removal of Sidney Ossoski, general
claim agent of the Chicago Railways
Company and founder of the Chicago
Information Bureau, a corporation
which has to do with personal in
jury" cases. ..,5, -,
The charges against Ossoski, made
by Division 241 of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees, were presented
to Henry A. Blair, chairman. of the
board of directors of the company, by
William Quinlan. president of the
union.
The difference between the men
and Ossosh is one of long standing
due to the manner with which he
operates his investigation system.
The men declare that he viii not take
the report of the motormen and con-
ductors, but sends his own investiga-
tors out.
"Ossosh has many investigators"
said President Quinlan, land as a re-
suit contradictory reports are the
usual thing, rather than the excep-
ton. The men are forced to inyes-
tigate, and to make their jobs good
they come as near as possible to Os-
siski's private reports
President Quinlan also charges
Ossoski with giving money to certain
employees to appeal for an Injunction
restraining the union from collecting
dues from motormen and conductors
he had discharged, thereby getting
the union to suspend them.
1t is believed that Blair win oppose
the action of the men, as Ossoski is
too good claim agent to lose. He
saves money for them.

There is no satisfaction and but
very little money IN exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. BY being care
ful In gathering eggs, so that they
won't become chilled In winter and
so the hens won't sit on them over
night and using a little care in sizing
and selecting quite an advance over
the common prices may be obtained.
When possible. sell your eggs direct
to the consumer II not possible. get
market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake,
live up TO the agreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send small,
misshapen or large ones. Stamp each
egg with rubber stamp, using your
initials OF the name OF your farm, and
In short time you will have created
demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such demand your
eggs will bring the highest prices,
considerably more than your store
keeper would pay.

eggs together. paying a cent OF two
