M|SSOULA OPPOSED TO
CONSOLIDATING SCHEME

The Missoula chamber of COM
merce is on record as being OPP
posed to the scheme of consoli-
dating all the state institutions
of higher learning, under the
guise of establishing a greater
university. That is just about
what was to be expected. Now,
if Dillon, Bozeman and Butte will
express their honest convictions
in the matter, it will be found
that these towns also are against
the movement. Each would be
afraid they would lose that which
they now have and gain nothing
in return. 1t might be a good
thing in the long run to consoli-
date. but where could a greater
university be located which would

CALL FOR A MEETING TO
ORGANIZE, JANUARY %

On Tuesday evening, January 90. an
attempt will be made to organize some
kind of civic body composed of the
men in and around Roman, who have
the welfare Of the town and valley in
mind and will work together to further
that particular end.
Wednesday a bill was introduced in
the senate for the purpose of creating a
new county in such a way that Roman
can't help be minority factor in a
county seat fight. Our school situation
is critical. AS community we are dc
ing nothing to assist our congressman
in their efforts for favorable legisla-
tion for the settler. Prospective set
tier or business man making inquiries
as to our town or valley are ignored.
The old commercial club simply fell to
pieces with affairs in most unsatis-
factory condition. There are many
things we can do if we endeavor to
exert ourselves a little. Lets get to-
gether and all pull for Roman Meet
ing at S:l5 in the school house.

AN UNUSUAL SNOW
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

There is more snow on the
ground on the reservation than
has been seen at any time dur
ing the past three years. Good
sleighing has been had now for
over ten days and the prospects
are good for it to continue for
some time to come. The Flat
head is not an isolated instance
OF an excess amount Of snow this
year, however, as from every
direction comes the intelligence
of much snow.
In the Cascade mountains and
in the Puget Sound country there
is more snow than has been
known for years, and that is
saying a good deal. In the Cas-
cade mountains it is from 40 to-
so feet deep and train service
has been abandoned on the Great
Northern for weeks. Around
Seattle and Tacoma the snow is
from ten inches to a foot deep,
and even as far south as Port
land there is word of it being
from 8 to ID inches in depth. In
Spokane a fall of Is inches is re-
ported, which shows that it is a
winter of deep snow everywhere.
East of the mountains there is
not as much as usual, but there
has been an excess of cold
weather. 1t is reported to be
from 80 to 40 below in North
Dakota, and even in the south it
has been exceedingly cold.
The snow here is welcomed by
all farmers who have in crops of
fall wheat, as the snow protects
the roots and will furnish mu uch
moisture when it melts away.
Loggers in all the mountain sec
tions have been wishing for just
what happened and they will
find it to their great convenience
in their work. While it may not
be pleasant to wade around in,
it will be of benefit to the whole
country.

A BILL FOR A
VALUED POLICY LAW

Representative Brewer of Ro-
nan, has introduced a bill in the
legislature which, should it be-
come a law, will give the state
of Montana a valued insurance
policy law. Many states have
this law and in every instance it
has proven satisfactory. Mon
tana should have such an insur-
ance law. The bill reads:
Section l. Amount written
shall be taken conclusively to be
the true value Whenever any
policy of insurance shall be writ
ten to insure any real property
in this state, including structures
on land owned by any other than
the insured, against loss by fire,
tornado or lightning, and that
property shall be wholly des-
troyed without criminal fault on
the part of the insured, or his
assigns, the amount of the in
surance written in such policy
shall be taken conclusively to be
the true value of the property
insured, and the true amount of
loss and measure of damages.
Section 2. When Applicable -
This act shall apply to all policies
of insurance hereafter made or
written upon real property in
structures situated upon
land owned by another than the
in this state. and also to
the renewals which shall here
after be made, Of all policies and
renewals shall be constructed to
be contracts made under the laws
of this state.
Section 3. Court to allow at
torneys' fees The court, upon
rendering judgment against any
company, upon any
such policy of insurance, shall
allow the plaintiff a reasonable
sum as attorneys fees, to be
taxed as a part of the costs,

POISON HAS ANOTHER
BAD FIRE THIS week

Word was received in Roman
Wednesday morning of another
fire in Poison Tuesday night,
which destroyed the Dawson's
furniture store and undertaking.
parlors. Luckily there was no
wind blowing and the flames shot
straight up in the air, and by the
aid of the water system in that
town, the adjoining buildings
were saved. The fire started in
the furniture store and the en-
tire building and contents were
destroyed, being a total loss.
So far Poison has been unusu-
ally fortunate with fires, being
able to confine the destruction to
the building in which the fires
originated. This has been oc-
casioned more by reason of their
having a water system than any,
thing else, and this factor alone
has done more for Poison than
all other things combined, 1t is
bad to have fires, but good to
have a means to fight them when
they do come.

afford all the advantages and re-
Quirements the sponsors for the
movement expect? The scheme
is to consolidate the school of
mines located at Butte, the nor
NAL college at Dillon, the agri-
cultural college at Bozeman and
the university at Missoula, into
one great big school. Where
could it be located and afford the
students of the school of mines
an opportunity to study mining
except at Butte? And how would
the agricultural student fare in
that locality? Suppose the big
school was located at Missoula,
how would the mining student
fare? 1t is an attempt to do
something which is not at all prac-
tical. Had the originators of the
movement suggested a consolida-
ton Of all the schools except the
school of mines, it might have
been possible to reconcile the re-
naming institutions. But it does
not seem possible to consolidate
them all and give satisfaction.
Then what would the state do
with the present buildings at
Missoula. Bozeman. Dillon and
Butte? There are hundreds of
thousands of dollars invested in
each place and that should be
considered. The whole thing
looks like a flash.

always the best, but if he must
refuse it for the reason that he
cannot sell his goods, it works to
the detriment of all alike.
The most prosperous commun-
tiles are those where there is no
friction between the towns and
the farmers around it, as both
need the other and cannot do
without them. Not that such a
thing exists here at this time,
but there has been chances of
such a thing happening and it
should be avoided if possible.

BILL TO REGULATE TAXA.
ton Of MORTGAGES

Henly of Missou]a, has irtrc-
d1ced a bill to regulate the taxa
tion Of mortgages in Montana.
The present law should be
amended as it works the same
as double and treble taxation in
many cases. For instance: a
merchant is taxed the amount of
the value of his stock of mer-
chandise, and also the amount
which he may have as mortgage
to secure the payment of debts
contracted by his customers. He
is paying taxes on a double as
sessments in such cases. The
banks of Montana are exempted
to the amount Of their capital
stock in the amount they pay
taxes on but no other business
man is given any exemptions
whatever.
One Roman merchant calls the
attention of the Pioneer to this
matter and says that last year he
paid what amounted to treble
taxes on the same property. A
merchant should be exemDt on
paying on mortgages he holds to
the amount of capital he has in
vested and return for assessment
purposes. That would equalize
the merchant with the banker
and would result in the merchant
giving in the full value of the
stock on hand. This method
would not lessen the amount of
taxable property but would. give
everybody a fair, square deal.
Then again it would seem to be
only fair that where farm is
mortgaged and the mortgage is
taxed, that the owner of the
farm should be credited with the
amount of the mortgage. That
would not make both the farmer
and the man who owns a mort
gage on it both pay a tax on the
same property.

two years ago, they propose 70
make the south line somewhere
between Roman and ST. Ignatius.
thus cutting the ZEAL valley in
two practically in the middle.
The intent Of this move is un-
doubtedly for the purpose of
throwing a majority of the popu-
lation and voting strength north
of Roman, with the hope that
Poison will be able to land a
county seat.
Poison can not be censured for
looking after Polson's interests,
bat before the new county is
created there will undoubtedly
be other interests represented.
When a new county is created in
this valley it should be the aim
of the people to see that the well
fare OF the entire valley from the
Like to the MP. railway is taken
clre Of. That particular strip
of country belongs together to-
p graphically and from every
0 her point of view. and no new
county should be created that
d yes not include it all. Poison
may stir up something, but the
vast rich valley lying between
that town and the N. P. railroad
should and probably will have
several paddles in the pot to as
sist in giving the final touch to
the big stir.

LAKE CITY AGAIN
SEEKS new COUNTY

According to a dispatch to the
Missoula Sentinel, the Chamber
OF Commerce of that city has
again started an agitation for the
creation of the once lamented
Lake county. According to the
report the matter was discussed
at a general meeting of the
chamber held recently in the
lake town and it was decided to
send a representative to Helena
to have bill for the new county
prepared and presented to the
legislature.
James Harbert, an ex-member
of the legislature from Flathead
county, was selected to go to
Helena. He is now in the cap
itol city and doubtless will soon
have his bill before the legis-
lature. Our Poison friends desire
to have Lake county created out
of portions of Sanders, Missoula
and Flathead counties, with the
north line of the reservation as
the north line of the new county.
Following the same tactics used

MORE: ABOUT TIMBER LANDS

In affirming the action of the
local land office in rejecting ap-
plications to homestead the land
on the Flathead reservation,
which are classified as timber
lands, the secretary of the in
terror has held that no rights
can be secured by making home
stead applications before the
land has been reclassified. In
other words, the secretary holds
that the first procedure which
intending homesteaders should
initiate should be to secure a re-
classification thereof.
1t has come to the notice of
the Pioneer that in most Of the
cases where applications have
been made to homestead the
land in question, the matter of
it's being reclassitied is not before
the commission which has been
appointed to do this work on this
reservation. Neither will it be
unless a showing is made to war
rant the secretary of the interior
referring the matter to the COM
mission for a re-eXamination.
The secretary holds that merely
making an application to home
stead and appealing from the re-
lection thereof, will not warrant
him in ordering that the land be
re- examined.
Some of those who have made
application t. homestead the land
have had it re.cruised by a COM
petent cruiser, who has made a
report under oath as to the esti-
mated amount of commercial
timber now standing and grow
ing thereon. In such cases a re-
examination has been ordered
and when the commission re-
sumes it's labors sometime the
coming summer it will be exam
ined again and a report made
concerning a reclassifcation.
The writer has made a person
al examination of several tracts
of land which have been applied
for and which it is claimed should
be reclassified, and in almost
every instance it has been found
that very little commercial tim
ber still remains on the land. He
has satisfied himself that with a
commission to examine the land
form a purely unbiased and un-
prejudiced standpoint that much
of the land would be reclassifed
and appraised and reported fav-
orable to opening it up for home
steads. Of course, there is some
timber on all such tracts. but
the timber is worthless from a
commercial standpoint, is fallen
down and burned over, and many
of the standing and growing
trees are spiked topped and good
for nothing except for fuel.
Therefore it seems that such
timber land should be eliminated
and made available for settlers.
AS to the land. There is none
better in all Montana. 1t is
specially adapted to fruit raising
of all kinds, and would make
ideal pasture or farm land of
any kind. 1t is sub-irrigated
from the mountains and in the
summer months timothy and
clover grow without any culti-
walton whatever. 1t is rich in
every quality to make excellent
farms, and lacks but one thing
to become a cultivated region
With the land lying east, north
and south from Roman, which is
now called timber land, made
available for entry, it would open
1p the best portion of the reser-
vation for the making of per-
and profitable homes. 1t

MUST CHANGE PRESENT PLAN

The present low price received
for wheat and other grain pro-
ducts in the Mission valley should
be an object lesson to the farm
ers who are striving to make a
living for themselves and fam
;lies. 1t must be apparent that
to attempt to raise wheat and
make both ends meet, cannot be
done. They must take another
tack and try something else.
Many of them have only 40 acre
tracts upon which to raise any
thing, and while it is a recog-
nized fact that that is too small
a farm for this country, and in
fact it has been known ever
since the land was cut up in such
small units, the damage has been
done and some plan must be de-
yised to offset the injury.
1T cannot be done by raising
wheat for the market and every
one of them know it thoroughly
and we'll by this time. Then
what are they to do? 1t must be
either cows Or hogs. Both would
be better, with chickens and
garden vegetables combined.
Many ask where is the market to
be found for such products. The
towns like Butte and Missoula
will take every pound of such
produce raised here, and by CO.
operation it can be marketed
rom here just as we'll as to have
the merchants of those cities
send to Walla Walla and other
places for such things.
The revenue to be derived from
such products will not only be
greater in amount, but it will be
coming in every day Or every
week. It. will furnish the means
oy which the farmers of this
talley can pay cash for what they
ouy instead of running long ac-
counts with the merchants, pay
ing interest on the same and be-
ng continually harassed with
The thoughts of the debts they
1--WE.
1t will not require the invest
:nent for machinery that is now
absolutely necessary, in fact the
cost of the machinery would buy
several good COWS which would
produce a continuous revenue
every day in the year, while the
machinery is dead money during
zen months of the year. 1t
would seem, therefore, that to
dispose of the machinery now
used and the reinvestment of the
money in dairy cows would be
the wisest thing our farmers
could do.
With the same amount of labor
expended in raising chickens,
garden produce and dairy pro-
ducts as is now devoted to wheat
raising, there would be a change
in the financial condition of the
great majority of the farmers
which would be so pleasing as to
warrant them in making the
change.
This is a matter the different
farmers organizations of the
valley should take up and dis
cuss at their meetings, and by
so doing accomplish some actual
results by and through the or
yanizations. 1t would be better
than to discuss a method of buy
ing from outside merchants, in
order to cut out the supposed
large profits of the local mer-
chant, or in an endeavor to regu-
late the price they are to receive
for the wheat they now grow at
a loss. The local merchant is
their best friend, and to try to
cripple him is not going to make
their market as good as if he
were assisted in becoming pros
porous in his business. If the
