Washington, Feb. 22.-About A.
600 soldiers were ordered today to
Galveston, Tex, and vicinity, the

relieve the Roman office of con-
siderable work.

|M0|ESE VALLEY FARMER
LOSES CROP BY FIRE

Word was received in Roman
Wednesday evening of the burn
ing OF the entire wheat crop of
James FL. Pritchard that day in
Molese valley. The wheat was
all stacked in one setting and
they had just commenced to
thresh when a spark from the
engine set the straw on fire and
all the crop was destroyed. 1t
was estimated that he would
have had fully 700 bushels and
the loss is a serious one to Mr..
Pritchard.
Shortly after locating in
Moiese Mr.. Pritchard lost both
OF his horses, a fine team, and
he was just recovering from the
effects of that loss when now his
summers work is again des-
troyed.
The machine was owned by
Sorenson Bros. of the Big Flat
and the damage to it will reach
$3.50. The particulars, except as
above stated, have not been
learned but it is safe to say
there was no insurance, the en-
tire crop being a total loss.

WILL TAKE CARE OF
STATE FAIR VISITORS

The Helena commercial club has
sent out notices to all CONNER
cial clubs of the state, announcing
their willingness to assist in Sc
curing accommodations for WIS.,
itors during the week of the
state fair held in that city. Any
one intending to attend the fair
this fall and desiring rooms in
private houses can have same
reserved for them by addressing
DR.. L.. M. Rheems, the secretary.
The headquarters Of the club
are in the Kohrs block, at the
Sign of the Red Arrow" and
all trains will be met by a COM
mittee of the club, each of whom
will wear a red badge. A free
checking and rest room will be
established at which parcels or
baggage may be safely intrusted
to their care. The fair will be
held from Sept. 22 to the 9th
inclusive.

WILL PROVIDE MEANS FOR
THE INDIANS TO FARM

Secretary Lane announced at
North Yakima last week that he
intended to furnish the Flat
head Indians with the means to
work their alIotments. In other
words, ! g intends to buy them
horses. machinery, and other
necessary equipment to become
producing factor in the devel-
opment of the country.
1t has been officially announced
that there is a yearly revenue
derived from the tribal fund
amounting to $4,000, and that
the money to furnish the Indians
with the means by which they
can go to farming their lands
will come from this fund. The
Pioneer does not wish to throw
cold water on the scheme to
start the Indians working their
farms, but how far will 50, 600
go toward buying the horses,
machinery, etc, when it now re-
qulres that amount to support
the old and inhrm Indians to be
cared for at the present time?
This problem has been one
which every new secretary Of
the interior for the past fifty
years has had a tussle with, and
the hcadWay made would not be
a very bankable asset. This is
speaking directly Of the full
blood Indian and there are iso-
lated cases where they have done
some farming, but the traditions
of the past are difficult to eradi-
cate when it comes to inducing
the Indian to buckle down to
real hard work.
People here hope that the sec
retary will meet with unbounded
success in his efforts to make
farmers of all Indians holding an
allotment on the Flathead, but -

Harry Thaw escaped from the
Mattewan asylum Monday last
and made a clean getaway to
Canada before being appre-
hended. A high power auto
mobile drove up to the gate of
the asylum just as the milkman
appeared to enter the gate and
while the milkman was going in,
Thaw ran out and jumped into
the auto and was away before
he could be overtaken. The
Canadian authorities announce
their willingness to deport him
and the probabilities are that he
may be taken back to New York.
A long legal fight is in prospect
before he goes back, as it is
claimed he is not a criminal and
therefore not subject to extra
dition. He has been in the in
sane asylum since 1908.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES
MEET IN ROMAN

The school trustees of district
No. 2S, met in Roman last Satur-
day and transacted much inn
portant business. Those present
were DR.. Resner, chairman,
Geo. II. Beckwith OF ST. Igna-
thus, John Innes of Arlee, and
d. N. Mason of Roman, trustees,
and S. r. Logan, clerk, of Ra-
valli.
The trustees investigated a
few complaints and took same
under advisement, concerning
the assignment of teachers.
Bids were opened for the
transportation by wagon of
scholars to and from the Arlee,
St. Ignatius and Grow creek
schools, and a contract was let
to Oscar Engle for the latter
school and to Dan Mcleod for
one of the wagons at ArIee and
Geo. Beekwith was ordered to
secure additional bids for st.
lgnatius and John Innes for the
other Arlee wagon. The other
wagons which will be put on at
Post creek and perhaps at Ra-
valli were postponed for further
investigation and receipt of bids
for same.
Several additional teachers
were selected, one at Roman,
Miss Hagan, one at Post creek,
one at Clairmont, one at Valley
creek and one in south Moiese.
High school work will be
taught at Roman, Post creek and
Arlee this year and the super
intendent was authorized to pur-
chase the required reference
books for these places.
The trustees authorized the
payment of one-half of the total
cost of the sidewalk on the north
side of the school grounds in
Roman and also to purchase a
desk for the superintendent.
School will commence on Sept.
2, with a full corps of competent
teachers in every school in the
district.

MAJOR MORGAN ORDERED
TO LOOK AFTER CREE INDIANS

Major Morgan of the Jocko
agency, received orders last
week to proceed to Helena and
look after some starving Indians.
He went to Helena at once and
found a number of them en-
camped on the military reser-
walton, without any means of
subsistence, and after thoroughly
investigating conditions reported
to the department at Washing-
ton just what he found.
The Indians are a bunch of
gypsies who have made it the
practice to hang around Helena,
Butte, Anaconda and other Mon
tana towns for several years
past and what to do or what can
be done with them is a problem.
The Major returned from Hell
ena Tuesday by way of Kalis-
pell, meeting DR.. Heidelman at
Poison, the latter having been
on an official visit to Camas, re-
turning home that way. They
were both in Roman the same
day.

RECLAMATION OFFICIALS
WANT MEN AND TEAMS

The reclamation service an.
nounces that men are wanted
for work on the Moiese valley
project. 1t is proposed to COM
plete this system just as rapidly
as men and teams can do the
work and an effort is being
made to induce settlers to en-
gage in this work.
The wages paid will be an in
ducement to many to work just
as soon as their farm work will
permit them to leave the fields,
and while it is difficult to secure
them at the present time, it is
thought that later in the season
this difficulty will be overcome.
The fact that the system is to
be one of the first undertaken is
good news to the people of that
valley as the farms there will be
greatly benefited by the water.

ACCIDENT At
N0RMANDEAU MILL

/ Monday afternoon Frank Nor
mandeau, better known as Pat,
son of Pat Normandcau who has
the saw mill six miles northeast
of town, was brought into town
with his right hand badly lacer-
ated by having it come in con-
tact with the edger saw. lie
was taken to Dir. Halls office
and Doctors Hall and Putney
removed several pieces of bone
from the knuckIe Joint of the
first and second fingers and
sewed up the injured parts and
gave the hand other necessary
treatment. The chances are good
that he will not lose either finger
although the injury will lay him
up for some time and complica-
tions might make it necessary to
amputate the first finger.
Pat was running the cdger
which is fed by rollers and the
one nearest the saw had worked
loose and he attempted to fasten
it without closing the saw down.
The roller is within a few inches
OF the saw and after fastening
the nuts on the bolts holding the
roller his wrench slipped off,
throwing his hand in contact
with the saw, and the hand was
undoubtedly pulled under the
saw before being released. 1t
bled profusely and no time was
lost in getting him to town, his
brother Pete and Field Rath-
bone, both of whom are working
there, making the distance in
less than % minutes after the
accident occurred.
The doctors have hopes Of be-
ing able to save all the fingers,
and if so he will not be crippled
very long.

ANNIVERSARY Of
ROMANS FIRE

Sunday, August "a, will be the
first anniversary of Romans big
fire. A year has almost passed
since the catastrophe which
wiped out almost the entire bust
ness section occurred.
10 a stranger visiting in Ro-
nan today it would be a difficult
matter to convince him that a
year ago there were but two
business houses left standing on
the west side of Spring creek,
The rebuilding has been so gen
eral that almost every one who
suffered a loss of his business at
that time is again occupying an
almost equally good building.
Some have built much better
than before and all are arrang-
ing to eventually build better
than now and even better than
before the fire.
To those who are unacquainted
with the loss at that time. it can
be said that fully $3.50, 900 was
lost by tbs fire. Three full blocks
and a half of solidly built bust
ness houses and residences were
consumed in less than one hour.
Some of those who lost at that
time have not fully recovered,
and while it will take some time
to do so, valiant effort is being
made in that direction.
In less than four years Roman
has built up a beautiful town,
had it almost entirely destroyed
and has built it up again.

MAKES POISON RIDICULOUS

the matter. No attempt was
made to belittle their efforts, and
it is a fact they did themselves
proud considering the shart time
within which to make all neces-
sary arrangements. Twenty
four hours is a very short time.
The Roman delegation, with
what seemed becoming modesty,
kept in the background until the
hour arrived at which it was their
duty to take charge. They gave
Poison a free hand to get just as
much credit for their labor as
possible, and to know that it is a
clear case of sour grapes on the
part of the Poison papers, is GER
tainly amusing.

EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH OF
THE COMMON FIELD PEA

John Nadeau brought to the
Pioneer office Wednesday sam
pie OF the common field pea
grown by a number of the farm
crs Of this section. These pea
vines measured nine feet seven
inches in length and contained
many pods each filled Or filling.
Field peas make excellent feed
for stock, especially for hogs
especially when ground with
barley or some other grain, and
the vines are readily eaten by
cattle.
The sample brought in by Mr..
Nadeau was grown on the place
northeast of town which he re-
Gently purchased of Harry Bur-
land and is from a field of 25

acres sown by Gus Goranson.
The whole Is acres is one mass
of vines and were there silo
ready to receive this crop it
would furnish an immense
amount of excellent feed for
dairy stock, sufficient in amount
to winter large herd. The
possibilities. here are great for
the production of a number of
good cattle foods and as the de-
velopment takes place those best
adapted to the country will be
selected, and it is safe to say
that field peas will be one of
those decided upon.
The sample above referred to
can be seen at the First National
bank, as Cashier White has it in
charge as an excellent exhibit.

Grain stacks of every variety
grown here are being built in all
directions. Farmers evidently
believe in stacking their grain
this year, past experience show
ing them that grain in the stack
is safer than in the shock. The
rains which prevail here every
fall damage the crops if left in
the shock.
