The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1913-12-19

in case it is all true, there is a
vast difference between buying
state land and having 20 years
to pay for it in, and homestead
ing a tract, being compelled to
reside upon the land and inn
prove it, making final proof and
not getting a title in 20 years.
Who wants to pay actual value
for the land and use a homestead
right besides? That it Just what
it amounts to where one pays the
price fixed by the late commits
sion.
/ In a number of cases where
the land has been appraised
above the maximum fixed by the
original commission, some start
4 ling circumstances seem to have
governed tho late commission in
fixing the new valuation. The
person who has a suspended en-
try has lived upon and improved
/ the land, built houses and barns,
fenced the land, ploWed and cul-
tivated and really made the land
valuable, In many instances he
has done so much and expended
so much time and money that he
cannot quit Eow,- and this fact
seems to have been the guiding
/ instrument in fixing the valua-
ton. Is that treating the entry
man fair?
The trouble is that the CON-
mission appointed to make the
classification and appraisement
did not enter upon their duties
with minds absolutely unpreju-
diced and unbiased. 1t was COM
posed of officials who should
never have been appointed. They
had all the work they could do
aside from this duty, and being
in the employ of the government
in one branch or another, should
have been allowed to attend to
duties already provided. A fair
way would have been to have
appointed civilians who were un-
biased and then the charge of
unfairness to the homesteader
and too much friendliness to the
Indian could not have been made.
The facts are that much of the
land is appraised at a greater
value than patented lands can be
bought for in the immediate
vicinity of the land. This tells
the whole story of the fairness
or the unfairness of the appraise-
ment. There are a number Of
suspended applications which
will never be completed owing to
this fact. AS an example, it can
be stated with all truth, that on
the big flat south of Roman sew
eral 50 acre tracts have been
sold as low as $500, or ten dol
lars per acre, and the new ap-
praisement of lands in that 10
cality range from $40 to $1S per
acre. This should answer the
Hon. Commissioners statement
that the land was appraised ac-
cording to what other lands in
the vicinity were worth.

The American National bank has
secured nve-year lease on the Bliss
corner at Third and Main, commenc'

the directors of the new bank decided

We will now look to Burke county,

and from what they say I figure that
every man, woman and child on the

duced over four bales of cotton, and
to take the average of the State each
one would have cultivated twelve
acres in cotton, or counting Eve to
the family each family would have
cultivated sixty acres in cotton, and
from the best estimates from those
acquainted with the county there
was only about one-third of the farm
land in cotton, which would neces-
state each farm family cultiyating

PEACH CANNING SEASON
Was A FAILURE HERE
Only a Few Cans We're Sc
cured

From one million cans of peaches
as the product of last season, to az
output of a few thousand cans last
week at the plant of the Americas
Cannery is the result of the we'll
nigh total failure of the peach crop
in the Americas territory far the sea-
son now rapidly drawing to close
The factory, therefore, will not be OPP
Grated this season for lack of ra "
material, and the operating COMPANY,
rs we'll as Americas, will lose consii-
erably thereby.
Manager Langrell, of the local eau
merry, stated yesterday that the result
here had been great disappointment
this season. The plant is owned by
Roberts Bros, of Baltimore, who like
wise own three plants at Fort Valley.
All of the plants have done compara-
lively little this season. The unusV-
ally high prices paid for peaches mad !
them more profitable to ship to the
east than to can, and consequently
the canneries have had little material
to work upon.
I'VE have worked two days, an
are about ready to go home" said
Manager Langrell yesterday. "Tha
season has been disappointing, to our
regret, as we had anticipated a good
seasons business in Americas"
Within the year Americas will prob
ably be outside the peach TERRITORY.

has been cut down, while several 9th
ers seem to be deteriorating rapidly

PRESIDENT SOON TO FIX

He'll Know Real Situation At
ter Talk With Wilson

Washington, D. c., July 18.-The al
ministration will make no move in the
Mexican situation and will reserve an
nCuncement of it's future policy toward
the Huerta government until after
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an have had an opportunity to confer
with Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
now en- route to Washington from
Mexico City.
No answer will be made to the note
of one of the European powers until
the Washington government has had
an opportunity to learn the true state
of affairs in the southern republic
Officials Embarrassed.
Administration officials, in stating
the facts last night, confessed their
embarrassment and difficulty in OBJ
tanning trustworthy information at
long range about Mexican politics and
its ephemereal changes. These same
officials believe the demonstrations
against Americans in Mexico City
is scheme to force the United States
to recognize the Huerta government.
Equally artificial, they declare, were q
number of recent happenings in the
Mexican capital and it was suggested
that some of the European members 0f
the diplomatic corps have been misled
through the anti-American demonstra-
tons.
Supported by letters from unofficial
sources in Mexico, Washington officials
are inclined to treat the information
transmitted by some of the Mexico City
diplomats to their governments as i'll
the nature of impressions" and not re-
ports of the real and underlying con-
ditions of Mexican affairs.
Reports Conflicting.
President Wilson and his cabinet
have several close friends in Mexico
from whom information has been COM
ing. William Bayard Hale, the writer,
is one of these who has been keeping
the president informed about Mexican
affairs, but even these unofficial i'm
pressions have proved conflicting. The

PLANS FOR 1918 WORLD
SERIES Being MADE
National Commission is Ar.
ranging for Contests

New York, July 1S.-Although Meth
er the American nor the National
league pennant is the personal prop
erty of any team as yet, Ban Johnson
and other members of the national COM
mission are beginning to plan for the
worlds series of 1913. The American
league president during his recent Wis.
it here said:
while the Athletics now have a big
lead nothing is certain in baseball.
notice that Mack still is seeking pitch
ers so I'm safe in saying he is not
ready to sit back and wait for the Ma
tional league winners onslaught.
Cleveland Washington and Chicago are
very much in the race.
The second division clubs have a
habit of proving troublesome to the
leaders in the second half of the seas
on and you never can tell when one or
more of them is going to start a win
ming squirt. Boston and New York have
both had more than their share of
handicaps and l look for them to get
to going in earnest soon. Personally
have great faith in Frank Chance
and believe that he is building up q
strong club for next year.
President Johnson also stated that in
case the Athletics and Giants did win
their respective league championships
the worlds series will be played on
alternate days in New York and Phila
delphia. Should the winning teams DC
separated by a greater distance OF
travel than these two cities, then the
series would be played two games "a
home and two abroad.
Relative to the games, he said that
in future the worlds series schedule
would be adhered to and the tie game
played on the next return to the city in
which it occurred.
He further stated that hereafter all
umpires in the worlds series would
receive $1,000 each for their work in
accordance with the policy established
after the close of the 1912 play
According to Johnson interest in The
worlds championship this autum will
be keener than ever Application for
series seats already are being received
from many states and foreign coun-
tries. One letter was from five Amer
leans now living in Chile who wro:e
they were planning to spend their va
cationas spectators at the worlds SCI
les providing they could be assured o.
securing seats.
