purposes, upon satisfactory proof
thereof to the secretary of the in
terror and upon REIMBURSEMENT
OF the land to the United States,
and if no valuable consideration
has been received either directly
or indirectly by the entiymen, he
may make entry of other lands

PARCEL POST IMPROVEMENT
EFFECTIVE AUGUST IS

Postmaster General Burleson
announces material and import
ant changes in the parcel post sys-
tenn = changes which will be well
coined by the general public, says
the Anaconda Standard. Many
petitions have been received by
the government from associations
OF business men and citizens gen
orally in many cities asking that
certain changes be made in the
system, and number of the
changes asked for have now been
decided upon by the department.
Heretofore the parcel depart
ment OF the postoffice has only
handled, packages up to eleven
pounds in weight, but it is now
proposed to handle parcels up to
20 pounds in weight in the first
and second zones. 1t is estimat-
ed that about one third of all the
parcel business of the govern
nent is in these two zones, which
cover distance Of about $50
miles. Other changes include
the abolition of the rate map and
the substitution of rate chart.
The government will purchase
automobiles for the making of
quick delivery in important cent
ers and reduction is made in rates
in the first and second zones.
These changes are to be effective
August 18th.
Many of the petitioners had
asked for. an entire abolition of
the zone system, so that parcels
might be carried like letters fora
certain sum irrespective of dist
ance. This has not been granted
but the tendency Of the changes
made seems to indicate an event.

A telegram was received Mon
day last by A. M. Thornbungh
secretary of the Roman CONNER
cial club, from Hon. j. M. Evans
stating that Secretary Lane
would Ie in Roman on his west
ern trip on August 7, which will

The telegram was brief but it
did state that the secretary
would investigate the complaints
set forth in the resolutions adop-
ted by the joint meeting of com
mercial clubs Of the reservation

Proper arrangements will be
made to receive him and a dele

Certificates Ready.

The new law concerning the re-
cording Of ranch names provides
that ranch names may be record
ed with the county clerk, follow
ing the slight formality Of a dol
lar fee, and that no name may be
duplicated. A name once filed
becomes individual. All others
must keep hands off. For people
whose ranches are even modestly
pretentious this law furnishes a
happy opportunity. An estab-
lished name gives q ranch d GER
tain individuality;,b ;,but many peo-
pie who have chosen names for
their places have been disappoint-
ed in finding the titles duplicated

companied, Of course, by the pay.

crops, perhaps due to the pack
ing of the ground by tractors.
z. Lack of capital on the part
of farmers and engine men.
Most of the engine men are
broke" was a statement repeat
edly made to me on recent WIS.,
it to the Judith Basin. They
haven't money enough to make
"a big engine business go. From
the number of small holders who
are being sold out to satisfy OBJ
legations to dealers in tractors it
appears a precarious thing for a
farmer to mortgage his farm to
buy a traction outfit.
3. Poor work of traction plows
is almost proverbial. A plow
and engine expert reported eigh-
teen out of twenty plow outfits
doing very poor work and the
majority of it so poor that it had
better not have been done at all.
Even in exhibitions much of this
work has been disgraceful. Itis
the engine mans own fault when
ne earns ste'i reputation for
slovenly work. It is probably
true that tractors have helped
Montana to develop agricultural
resources faster than would
otherwise have been possible. 1t
is also true that bad judgment
has been used in placing and
using much of this power. The
small farmer will be much safer
to keep down his expenses and
be conservative in making OBJ
legations for machinery that may
cost him his home. Few people
are qualified to run a business
that requires the employment of
a number of hired men. Farm
ers do not often have either cap
ital or business enough to justify
the outlay for traction outfits.

FLATHEAD RIVER GIVES Up
LAST OF THREE DROWNED

Word was received over the
telephone Friday evening last
that the body Of Mrs. Frank
Scearce had been found that after
noon on an island opposite Dixon.
Mrs. Scearce together with her
baby and brother were drowned
in the F'lathead river about three
miles south OF Sloan's ferry on
June 18th, the other two bodies
having been previously recover
ed and buried at Dixon.
Word was at once sent to Mr..
Scarce at Sloan and the next
morning, accompanied by another
brother of Mrs. Scarce, drove to
Dixon where they were met by
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley Scearce
and Rev. J. G.. Ross, and the
funeral was held there Saturday
at 11:3O. lnterment was in the
Dixon cemetery.
The body was not very badly
mutilated, although having drift
ed in the stream for nearly four
weeks. All the clothing and some
pieces of jewelry were still on
the body and it was easily recog-
niZed.
1t is fully II miles. following
the mcanderingS of the river,
from where the accident occurred
to where the body was found and
it probably had been lodged for
some time. Some trees or brush
held the body.
The husband and father Ger
tainly feels a relief from the
strain Of constant search and anx-
iety over the failure to locate all
the bodies of his loved ones and
his friends rejoice with him over
finally finding them.

tofore-not saying a word. Fol
as genial a gentleman as Mr..
Derrig is, he can say less con.
cerning what he has done or in.
tends to do than any man one
hardly ever met. and that is
probably why he holds his posi-
ton.
In this connection, it can be
said that a letter was received
Monday last also Monday was
q good day to not learn much
from President Howard Elliott
of the N. P. in which he stated
that the company had not the
least desire personally or other
wise, directly or indirectly, to
miss Roman when the road was
finally built, and that the con-
trolling influence would be to do
the most good and build the road
where it would accommodate the
most people. and would try and
not miss the town.
That sounded good but
In this connection, it can be
said that in following out the
real intention or purpose. if the
proper investigation is made and
it is really the desire of the COM
pany to build where it will ac-
cornmodate the most people,
then Roman has no fear as to
where the road will be built. All
we ask is that an investigation
be made from an unbiased stand
point by someone capable of de-
termlning the future of the val
lev.

Lunat;cs to Print Weekly

The medical director of The
Morris Plains On. J.) state hos.
pital for the insane, proposes t(
establish a weekly newspaper al
the asylum, which is to be writ
ten, set in type and printed BY
the patients under supervision of
the attendants.
1t is believed by the medical
director that this class of work
will interest many Of the asylum
inmates and thereby be bene-
fetal. His theory is well ground
ed. There are few persons in
the world, says the Louisville
Couricr-,journal, commenting on
the plan, who do not know some
thing about running a news
paper, and probably there is q
good working majority of per-
sons who think they know all
about it. Doubtless there is as
as much confident assumption Of
the kind in the lunatic asylum as
there is on the outside and
probably it is as well justified.
Those who have had experience
in the operation Of newspapers
know that one of the compen-
sating features of the business
is that it takes a man $ mind off
all the rest Of his troubles. 1t is
hedged about by such conca-
tenation Of perplcxities that it
makes the individual forget his
grudges and his grievances, his
debts and his diseases, his s0r-
rows and his sins and all the
other things which people en-
gagged in other vocations are ac-
customed to worry about. At
times he is likely to forget his
meals, or to be Indifferent to
them, which amounts to the
same thing.
1t remains to be seen whether
a newspaper of, by and for lun-
atics will differ materially from
some of the papers in this coun-
try that are run by persons who,
so far, have escaped de lunatico
inQuirendo.

Engine farming appears to be
on the decline in Montana from

Office at Bozenan. In the .Jud-

ago, Mr.. Peterson finds a large

BECK SCARS OVER ROMAN
IN TRUE b|RDL|KE STYLE.

The first birdman to make 8
fight on the Flathead reserva.
tlon made the ascent in Ronar
on Wednesday as advertised. ex-
cept that it did not take place
until about seven o'clock. o.,
after a number of people living
IN the country who had made the
trip to town especially to see ii
had gone home. This was the
only criticism that could be Of
fered against the exhibition.
Walter Beck of Missoula, who
classes himself as an amateur as
yet in aviation, made good fly.
leaving the ground in the mea-
dow cast Of ID. d. lIull's resi-
dense before a large crowd. The
rise from the ground was made
in good shape, and the biplane
was soon at an elevation of about
500 feet, at which height it kept
during the entire 20 minutes it
in the air. First the machine
headed north and a little east
and skirting the mountains went
as far north as Mud creek where
a turn was made and the return
trip took the birdman directly
over Roman. The machine was
again pointed northWard and a
second time Mr.. Beck made the
circle, and the landing was as
successful as the start.
The machine used is of the
Curtis pattern, and is the prop
Of b. G.. Mcclellan, whose mother
lives northeast of Roman and
makes his home there most of
the time. This machine has
been used several times, and has
been wrecked once in Spokane
when driven by a japanese, who
was later killed in a flight in
Japan.
There was q large number of
people in town and had the flight
taken place Immediately after
the ball game, would have
olcased everybody. The long
wait, with many rumors of no.
hing doing until the wind had
entirely died out, was so persis
.ent that many people decided to
7ot wait any longer and they
started for home. 1t seems that
Mr. Beck believed it dangerous
n a wind, and probably no one
N the ground should criticise
he man who takes the chances
IN his life by attempting a flight.
TO great many there didn't
seem to be much wind the day
icing as still as is generaly |
'ound in Montana.
There is d report current that
hr. Beck will attempt Il flight
rom Roman to st. Ignatius be- |
ore the biplanc is taken back to
lissoula.

SURVEYORS MOVE TO FLAT.
HEAD LAKE EAST OF POISON

The N. P. surveyors pulled up
sticks Monday last and moved
their camp to point on the
Flathead lake about four miles
east Of Poison. 1t had been given
out the latter part of last week
that they had practically COM
pleted their work in this section
but something went wrong with
the expectations or else the re-
port was not authentic. Engi-
neer Deriig was in town Mon
day morning but was just as
