KIEFF, RUSSIA, Oct. 27.-The final

Bells complains of the treatment he
has been receiving in Jail since the
prosecution began to totter. When
experts begin to testify, probably to-
morrow, the defense will introduce
evidence to show that Bells has not
the scientific skill to WELD a knife
with such precision as was manifested
in the murder.

the economical feeding of grain
is not 80 easy. Most farmers do
not feed as much grain as the
animals require to do good work,
but it is possible to overfeed.
That is. it is possible to feed more
grain than the cows can use
economically. 1t requires great
deal of experience to feed grain
intelligently to a herd of dairy
COWS. A few years ago could
have spoken on this subject with
much more confidence than is pos
sible now. The more | learn
about this matter of feeding, the
more realize the Importance of
taking into consideration the in

struction maps have been sent
to both roads, and the informa-
tion will probably be forthcoming
in a short time.

PLAN MANY ROADS
FOR RESERVATION

The three members of the
board of county commissioners
expect to spend week on the
reservation to look over a score
of new roads that the Flathead
residents are demanding. The
commissioners will leave on We'd
nesday and they will go over the
main road and determine where
the new roads will be placed.
The road, running through Evaro,
Arlee. Ravalli and St. Ignatius,
was finished last year, and this
season the commissioners are
figuring on constructing about a
score of feeders.
County Surveyor Bonner will
accompany the comissioners. The
commissioners are of the opinion
that a personal inspection of the
proposed roads will greatly aid
them where to locate them. -~

JOINT MEETING OF COM.
MERC|AL CLUBS may IS

The Pioneer misunderstood Sec
retary Healy of the Roman COM
mercial club last week and ga We
wrong date for the joint meeting
OF the commercial clubs of the
reservation. The meeting is to
be held in Roman on Friday even
ing, May lG, instead of June l6,
as stated last week.
The invitations have been sent
out and a number of answers have
been received stating that their
clubs will be represented, and a
large attendance is anticipated.
Besides the commercial clubs all
the farmers organizations have
been asked to send delegations,
and as the farmers are as much
interested in the solution of the
questions to be considered as any
body it is believed they will send
in representatives.
This meeting is called for the
purpose of considering the advis-
bility of sending a delegation to
Washington to go directly to the
secretary of the interior with a
request for the early considera-
ton of the many unsettled mat
ters pertaining to the reservation.
1t is thought by some that this
would help in untangling the mess
and perhaps aid in the develop
ment of the whole country.

RAILROAD BUILDING
ACTIVE IN MONTANA

There is more railroad work
planned for Montana during the
coming summer than there is
planned for any other state in
the union, says a dispatch from
Helena.
This may seem at first glance
to be broad statement, but the
facts, part of them, have been
gathered by Commissioner Ken
nedy Of the bureau of publicity
and agriculture. From the data
received thus far it is ascertained
that the Great Northern has let
contracts, or has ready now for
rails, 476 miles of new road. The
Milwaukee has let contracts for
543 miles of new track. This
makes a total of 1,O19 miles to be
completed this summer. These
facts and figures were taken
from maps furnished by the rail-
road officials to the bureau of
publicity.
The map showing the new
line to be built by the Milwaukee
was received by Mr.. Kennedy a
few days ago. This map shows
the intention of this road to build
out Of Lewistown to Grass Range
81 miles of line is to be built;
from Lewistown to Great Falls
164 miles; from Great Falls to
Agawan, by way of Choteau, 1876
miles, from Lewistown to Roy,
80 miles. Aside from this
the big Blackfoot railway, which
is essentially the Milwaukee, has
filed articles for the building of a
road from Ovando to Great Falls,
a distance of 147 miles.

railway, showing new lines partly
completed and under contract to
build, gives the following; The

GOVERNOR OEs|CNATES
SUNDAY MOTHERS DAY

Saturday last Governor Stewart
issued a proclamation naming
Sunday, May II, as Mothers day.
The proclamation follows:
"'Only few years ago a move
ment was inaugurated for the OBJ
servance OF the second Sunday in
May as Mothers day. The idea
awoke instant response in the
hearts of the people and the
movement has grown until today
this occasion is observed in many
OF the states of the Union.
1t is held to be profitable for
men and women of this age of in
tense commercial and industrial
activity to divert their minds
from the usual channels and con-
centrate them upon some uplift-
ing and cheerful and helpful sub
ject. This being true, is there
aught that could have so blessed
an influence as a season devoted
to the best mother who ever lived
your mother?
u, therefore, hereby designate
Sunday, the eleventh day Of May,
one thousand nine hundred thir-
teen, as Mothers day, and urge
upon the people of Montana an
observance of the occasion in
keeping with the spirit that
prompted the founding of this
May festival. If your mother be
with you, let the day be one of
more marked tenderness toward
her; if you be separated from her
by state or a continent, write to
her and tell her something of the
alteration that is her due; and if
she has passed over the river that
save eternity can bridge,
then should the day be hallowed
by your thoughts of her ever
watchful love and sacrifice for
you.
LET this be a day of family re-
Unions and of precious memories
and if there be two thoughts of
where otherwise there
night have been one, then shall
he day and the occasion have
beautifully served theirpurpose.

BALL GAME SUNDAY
WITH ST. |CNAT|US

Manager F. j. White has made
arrangements for a ball game
Sunday next at Roman with the
Mission Reds. The game will he
called at 2::3O and Mr.. White says
he will call the game at that time
to avoid tedious waits.
This will be the first game of
the season and while the Roman
players have not practiced very
much so far, a good game is en-
pected.
The St. Ignatius boys have add
ed Clark of St. Regis to their
pitching staff and have strength
ened in other places until they
may be expected to put up a stiff
game. Clark was tried out by
Missoula this spring and was not
retained simply because the man.
ager thought he had all the pitch
ers his salary list would stand.
He is a strong and speedy pitcher
and our boys will have to hustle
to beat the visitors with him in
the box.
Turn out and see the first game
and help put the team on it's feet
financially.

Some Big Porker.

Alex LaAemme, living west of
town. killed a hog not long ago
which dressed $40 pounds. This
shows what profit can be made
in raising good hogs in this coun-
try, as this porker would have
brought in the market at Roman
$54.N, or more than a three year
old steer would have brought
three years ago. Hog raising is
to become one of the principal
industries of this section, going
hand in hand with dairying. The
separated milk fed to hogs will
add to the value of both indus
tries. Fat hogs are scarce in this
section at the present time and
command good prices.
