SENATE INCREASES
FLATHEAD FUND

The finance committee of the
senate has increased the appro-
priation for the reclamation work
on the Flathead from 1926, 900
to $350,O0 for the year 1913.
If the members of that COM
mittee would make a trip out this
way and take an auto ride from
Roman in any direction, they
would return satisfied of the ne
cessity Of completing this work
in the shortest possible time.
There are acres and acres of
excellent farming lands to the
north. south and west Of Roman
which need irrigation, and need
it badly. But with the dilatory
methods of the past in appropri-
ating money to keep the work 60
ing, it will be forty years before
any benefits will be derived.

FINE RAIN FALLS OVER
THE ENTIRE RESERVATION

The drouth on the Flathead res.
ervation was broken last Sunday
by a fall of rain which came as a
great relief to the many anxious
people who have staked so much
on the possibilities of the coun-
try. While the shower Sunday
did not extend all over, on Mon
day a general rain fell which in
cluded those portions not touched
the day before.
This rain came from the south
and extended all over, in some
places the rainfall being more
extensive than in others, but on
the whole doing so much good it
would be difficult to estimate in
dollars and cents. Along the
Flathead river the rain is said to
have been very hard, much wa
ter falling and thoroughly soak
ing the parched ground. 1t was
in that section that crops
need the moisture most but all
parts needed the rain. Sunday
afternoon the rain fell in some
places in such volume that water
stood in the roads for hours af-
terwards and the Monday shower
added to this moisture. Since
then several showers have fallen
and indications at this time are
that more are on the way.
Some farmers state that their
winter wheat is assured and all
are optimistic today where doubt
existed a week ago.
1t was a great rain and every
body is happy.

MUD CREEK LADIES AID
GIVE ENJOYABLE SOCIAL

On Thursday evening of last
week the farmers west of town
turned out in great numbers to
the big supper prepared by the
Mud creek district Aid society.
BY energetic effort on the part of
the ladies, everything was in
readiness for the crowd of almost
two hundred people. The supper
served was something that mer-
tied the many pleasing things
that were said of it by those
present.
After supper the crowd gath
cred around the doorway to listen
to Mrs. Spencer, the popular So
loist of the Flathead, as she sang
some of those songs that always
catch the crowd. At the call of
the crowd Rev. Ross sang two
Scotch songs. Representative
Brewer delivered one Of the neat
est little speeches that he has
made in these parts. He showed
the need of concentration and CO.
operation on the part of the far
mers and prophesied the splen-
did results that would be achiev-
ed by so doing. He spoke as
one who knew the needs of the
farmer and gave to them the
confidence that in our represen-
tative there stands one who is
ready to do his utmost for them.
The climax of the whole thing
was the act of j. J. Maloney who
first mimicked the street auc-
tioneer selling merchandise. So
well did he do it that a great
many thought he had done the
real thing at some time. Upon
request the Maloney brothers
sang a duet entitled I'VE are
Porters," which was extra. This
concluded the entertainment and
the people dispersed to their
homes asking for another such
social. The proceeds amounted
to the handsome sum of $lOO.

IS PLEASED WITH THE
MISSION VALLEY LANDS

A. H. Glassmacher of Billings,
representing a loan and trust
company of that city and Miles
City, was in Roman Tuesday.
Mr.. Glassmacher is an old friend
of Stanley Scarce and A. M.
Thornburgh in the Klondike and
while here renewed the acquaint-
ance. He was here looking over
the Mission valley with a view to
placing money here on farm loans
and says he is surprised that such
a valley is to be found in west
ern Montana. He said that like
almost everybody else who trav-
els across the state on the rail-
road and who have no means of
seeing the valley from such a
route, the surprise is better felt
than expressed at such a country.
1t is more than likely his COM
pany will operate here in the near
future.

CREAM STATIONS DRAWING
TRADE TO ROMAN DAILY

The two cream stations in Ro.
nan are drawing trade this way
every day. 1t is no uncommon
sight now to see people in town
who formerly traded i'm neigh.
boring towns, and each of them
have a cream can in the wagon.
One family informed the Pio-
neer that it worked to their adj
vantage in two ways. One was
that it made a better market for
their produce and the other was
that they could buy cheaper here
than they had been doing. This
lady said that with cream the
price it is now and with butter
selling at only 20 cents that the
profit was better to sell the
cream, besides it saves much
labor connected with butter max
ing. She said that while at pres
ent they only miIked nine cows,
they intended to buy at least a
dozen more just as soon as they
are in the country to be bought.
Every merchant in Roman re-
ports trade as on the increase
and much of this prosperity can
be traced directly to the market
which is to be found here for the
dairy product. 1t is gratifying
to know that so many Of the
farmers are coming to realize
the value of the COW and that
they are directing their attention
to this phase Of farm life so
readily.

INDIAN WOMAN
SHOOTS RIVAL

Monday evening Mrs. Antoine
Finley fired eight shots from a
22-calibre rifle at Catherine
Eneas, one of which took effect
in the abdomen causing only a
slight wound, but which looked
like a serious matter. The shoot
ing took place southeast of town
about five miles and was caused
by jealousy, Mrs. Finley taking
exception to the too devoted at
tentions of her victim toward her
husband, Antoine Finley.
1t seems Mrs. Finley met Miss
Eneas coming from the Nine
Pipe reservoir and when about
two hundred feet distant opened
fire on her, firing eight shots al
together only one of which took
effect. Mrs. Finley evidently
shoots like a Mexican soldier, as
W. G. Brown says, or else her
hind sight is bad.
DR.. Hall was summoned and
upon examination found that the
bullet had not penetrated the
abdomen but had passed between
the skin and the lining of the
stomach, coming out directly op-
posite the point it entered,
which to the inexperienced looked
like the bullet had passed
through the body.
In company with DR.. Heidle-
man, he returned next morning
to see her again and she was
found outside the teepee quietly
combing her hair and not much
the worse for the wound.
Both are full blood Indians.
Mrs. Finley will be taken to the
agency and an investigation held.

The Worth While society me,
with Mrs. Haid last Thursday
with the usual quota in attend
ance. There was such an ex
tended business session there
was only one chapter read in oul
charming story book. Mrs. Ho-
gan read during the social hour,
and the hostess served delicious
ice cream and angel food cake.
The next meeting will be next
Wednesday at the home of Mrs.
Hogan, at which time current
events will be discussed.
Miss Nora Newett gave her
young friends a delightful party
last Friday evening. Games and
music was the diversion of the
evening, after which dainty re-
freshments were served.
Miss Doris johnson, the young
girl who was so severely injured
at the school picnic last week, is
improving rapidly and will prob
ably be able to walk in three
weeks.
Vernon Styles departs next
Thursday for a visit with his
parents in Minneapolis.
Miss Bertha Ellis who has been
visiting Mrs. Frank Lee, left for
her home at Midland, Mich, last
Friday.
Miss Cordclia Bennett is at

remained for the picnic.
The Sunday school picnic will
be held Wednesday, June II, on
Finley creek, just east and adj
joining the Sattley ranch. NAL
colin Buchanan and Hamilton
Cary have charge Of the event
and it goes without saying there
will not be an idle moment from
start to finish. We are reliably
informed that the ladies who
will umpire the base ball game
never saw a ball game in their
lives. However, before UNDER
taking anything so hazardous
they are assured of ample pro-
lection. AS it is a Sunday school
picnic, the players will not be al
owed to "steal a base" or any,
hing of that kind. All who at
end will have an enjoyable time.

ROMAN LOST
LAST GAME

There is very little more that
can be said about the game last
Sunday between Roman and Pol
son. except that Poison won z to
IL. Those who attended and
witnessed the game say it was
simply the best team won, Pol
son outplaying the locals every
where except in the box. They
hit the ball too, and if the Roman
players connected they drove the
pill right into some Poison play
ers hand and he held it safe.
The game opened by Roman
making three scores in the first
inning, and Poison tied the score
in their half, after which Poison
forged ahead and kept it to the
end. There were a number from
Roman who went along to see the
game and had it not been for
them and a boat load or two from
Kalispell the attendance would
have been small. The players
and all others from Roman report
having been treated just fine by
the Poison players and the local
people who did attend the game.
Poison plays a return game
here on the 10th, the day of the
farmers annual picnic, and if
the Roman team gets out and
practices a little, it will be a good
game to see.

MAINTAIN ABSOLUTE QUIET
AROUND THE DAIRY COWS

To secure the best and most
uniform results it is necessary
that absolute quiet be maintained
around the cows. The secretion
of milk is involuntary although
anything of an exciting nature
may indirectly affect the milk
flow. No mixer should be per-
mitted to excite or worry a COW
by loud talking or abuse in any
form. In my experience. even
the presence of a stranger at
milking time has proved sufficient
to excite some nervous cows, es-
pecially those yielding heavily,
and to effect their milk flow quite
materially. Even the changing
of mixers is very likely to result
in loss of milk for a few milk
ings. unless the new mixer is
more quiet and more suited to the
cows than the former.
The milking should be done
quietly and quickly. The mixer
should be prompt about all his
work in caring for the cows as
they form the habit of wanting
to be fed and MIXED at certain
hours the same as humans form
the habit of eating their three
meals a day at regular hours.
Many of the more successful
dairymen milk their cows by the
watch, having learned by expert
ence that regularity in milking
tends to prolong the lactation
period and to increase the total
amount of milk given for the year.
They also arrange the work so
that the same cows are MIXED by
the same men in the same order
each time so as to secure the very
best results, taking special care
to see that no man milks a cow
which has taken a decided dis
like to him.
To many. milking is a very dis
agreeable task, some disliking
the operation itself, others are
strongly opposed to it because it
must be done after the day has
already been spent in the fields.
Therefore. in their hurry to finish
the disagreeable task, they fail to
milk the cows dry. Even though
this loss is not over one-half

DETROIT MEN
VISITING ROMAN

E. F. Roberts, general super.
intendent, and Jos. Brodie, gen.
eral Inspector, of the Packard
Automobile Co.. of Detroit,
Mich, are in Roman this week,
having made the trip from De.
troit to Roman in just twelve days
after they left the factory. The
journey was m::de in record time
and the party enjoyed every
moment of the time on the road,
barring an incident or two, when
they got into a bad stretch of
road, one between Rockford, Ills.
and Dubuque, Iowa, and another
between Owatonna and St. Paul,
Mimi. They had along with
them a kodak man who secured
some excellent pictures along the
way, some of which show them
in the mud, crossing swollen
streams, camping and travelling
in pleasant places as we'll.
Their car is a Packard 78-horse
power, equipped with four extra
tires ready to put on, a complete
camping outfit including beds for
four people, camp stove, bedding,
provisions for two days. ten gal
Ions of gasoline, ten gallons of
water, five gallons of oil and the
clothing of four men, as they
had two companions also con-
nected with the factory, with
them as far as Helena.
They are here now the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. Roscoe Hull, at
the Sterling hotel, Mr.. Brodie
being a brother of Mrs. Hull.
Both gentlemen have been with
the Packard company a number
of years, Mr.. Roberts having en-
tered the employ of the company
10 years ago when only 12O men
were employed, while now over
5000 men are continuously on
the pay roll. He has risen to
the position of general superin-
tendent, while Mr.. Brodie has
been with the same company for
the past nine years, at present
and for some time past being the
general inspector of the factory.
Having worked hard and earn
estly, they find themselves in
need of a rest and come to the
mountains of Montana, and par
ticularly to Roman and the Mis-
sion valley to recuperate.
Aside from enjoying them
selves in the open, they are de-
lighted with the country and the
people and express regret that
they may even be compelled to
return to Detroit and their work.
Both gentlemen are pleasant to
talk to, volunteering any infor-
nation as to the trip or the car
in which they made the journey,
and willing to impart informa-
ton as well as receive it.
Mr.. Brodie expects to remain
several weeks. and Mr.. Roberts

OVER FROM TUCSON

Alex McMinn was visiting friends on the streets of Mesa yesterday. Alex is an old Mesaitc. but has been in business in Tucson for the last two years Mir. McMinn is one of the leading dairymen and stock breeders in the state and has taken many prizes with his different herds. He has now nineteen Ayrshires which he will exhibit on the coast this fall along with a bunch of Jerseys, Ayr shires and Holsteins belonging to the University of Arizona He is very much interested in getting up fair for Tucson this fall and is here try ing 10 get Frank Reed Sanders and W A Mcdonald to promise to bring their fine herds over when the lair opens He reports that Tucson has subscribed $50.0OO for the fair and that it will be a success beyond T doubt Alex is q booster for what ever place he may be in and espe- ciaIIv in the line of live stock. He has lately sold his ranch near Mesa. but 1t is an even bet that he buys another one near Mesa before the year is out and again brings his cat tie to the Mesa alfalfa
