FARMERS ANNUAL
PICNIC JUNE 20

The farmers annual picnic will
be held this year in the Piedalue
grove southeast of Roman about
half a mile. on June 20.
The usual sports will be among
the features, including a tug of
war which always attracts much
interest. Last year this event
was the cause of much rivalry
and the adherents of the two
sections will strive to have a
team which cannot lose. Some
prominent speakers are expected
to make addresses. and the day
is planned to be one long remem-
bered.
The program is being prepared
and due publication will@be made
in other issues of the Pioneer be-
tween now and the date of the
picnic, June 20.

ANOTHER CREAM STATION

A. NJ. Sterling Co. have made
arrangements to buy cream in
Roman, shipments to be made to

stations and will prove more

have just one place or store
which receives the dairy product

ness is on the increase and with
two merchants buying, the charge

Accident at Picnic

A peculiar and distressing ac-
cident occurred at the school pic
mic last Friday afternoon, in
which a 13-year old girl, Miss
Doris Johnston of near Leon,
sustained a broken leg.
It was during the girls race,
and while running Miss John
ston stumbled and fell and her
leg was found to be broken above
the knee. DR.. Resner was for
tunately on the grounds and at
tended to the injured girl, but
did not set the limb until after
she was taken home, which was
done by Geo. Beckwith in his
car.
At last accounts she was doing
nicely.

HIGH WATER WASHES OUT
CROW CREEK BRIDGE

Word was received by tele-
phone Wednesday morning that
the bridge across Grow creek
near the F]athead river was
washed out during the night be-
fore. 1t seems the water began
cutting around one end and this
undermined the bridge until it
was taken away by the high
water.
This is another example of
wasting money in cheap bridges
such as are usually put in isolated
communities. To have built it
in a substantial manner while
doing it would have saved the
expense now necessary of replace
this badge.

VALLEY VIEW FARMERS
TALK Of PUMPING PLANT

G. M. Peden and M. Hendrick,
farmers in the Valleyview Sec
ton, were in Roman last Saturday
trading and getting acquainted
with Roman people. Mr.. Peden is
a frequent visitor but this was the
first visit to Roman for Mr.. Hen.
bricks, being much nearer Poison
than here, but the cream station
along with other inducements is
attracting people to Roman from
great distances.
While here they called at the
Pioneer office and it was learned
during their visit that the farm
ers of Valleyview are seriously
considering the feasibility of es-
tablishing a pumping plant in the
Flathead river to elevate water
to the bench above for the pur-
pose OF supplying the water re-
quired for domestic use.
At the present time the diff
Guilty in getting wells is the one
great drawback to that section,
all the settlers hauling their wat
er from the river and some going
as far as four and five miles. The
plan is to put in ram or some
modern equipment and pump the
water to reservoir on high
point from which it can be piped
or hauled to the several houses,
thus saving the hard climb from
the river to the top of the long
hill.
The main obstacle in the way
is permission to lay the necessary
pipe to the river and consent of
the United States to pump the
water from the river. OF course,
there are millions of gallons of
water running to waste every
day, but that fact may not mean
anything to Uncle Sam when it
comes to a request by the farm
ers for permission to use a small
amount OF the much promised
plenty that has so far failed to
materialize.
Water may be in the streams in
such quantities that it is a men,
ace and big expense every year
to care for it, but a pumping
station may not be allowed for
fear some one might be accom-
modated or somebody make dol
lar out of an expenditure such as
this enterprise would entail.
An effort is to be made, never
theless, to get permission to use
the water.

injured his arm the first ball he
threw and was pounded pretty
bad in the ninth inning. The
Poison pitcher was easy for the
locals, they finding him in almost
every inning for safe hits and
in the fifth for so many he was
sent to center garden and Covell
took the mound. For three in
innings he scattered the hits and
not a run was made off him but
in the ninth he weakened Just
enough for Roman to win the
game.
Several Poison fans. among
them John Wall. J. l.. Mccarthy

laugh at us for losing, but we

WANTS THE PRACTICE
TO STOP IN HIS OFFICE

Evidently our friend Burke Of
the St. lgnatius Post has been
"pestered." This is what he
says anyway, and it applies to
more offices than his:
1t is interesting to note how
little the average person knows
about conducting himself in a
newspaper Office. Almost daily
different persons come into the
office Of the Post to look
around" p" Looking around is al
right, providing the looking" is
limited to the machinery, type,
ink rollers, devil, etc. But too
often the inquisitive visitor will
become so friendly with the COM
positor at the case, that he or
she will edge up to the case and
leisurely proceed to read the copy
that has been prepared by the
editor. There is an unwritten
law in all newspaper Offices
against this. If you are seeking
information, wait until the paper
is out and then read to your
hearts content, but don't try to
get ahead of the other fellow by
coming into the newspaper office
and reading it off the compos-
itor's hook.

The test of 31.81 per cent

preparing to turn on the water,
which was turned into the main
bitches by the reclamation people
on Wednesday. A few of the
fields were beginning to show the
effects of dry weather but with
the water now at hand there
should be no occasion for any
crop suffering in that locality.
We predict that the crops raised
this year on. the big prairie, with
the aid Of irrigation. will prove
conclusively to those who hereto
fore may have doubted, that
water is the salvation of the Mis-
sion valley farmers.

.FLlTHEAD RIVER HIGH AND

Allen Sloan was over from the

that it is running like a mill race

will not operate the ferry for the

"A special to the Sentinel from
Washington dated June 8, says:
Governor Stewart and Ex-Gov-
ernor Norris and the delegation
from Montana who came here in
an effort to give impetus to the
reclamation work of the govern
ment in that state today offered
a proposition to Secretary of the
Interior Lane to create a COM
mission in Montana of from three
to five men to cooperate with
the government reclamation Of
ficials. The duties of this COM
mission shall be to hear all COM
plants and investigate them be-
fore presenting them to the fed
eral authorities.
The proposition was we'll re-
ceived by the secretary when he
received the delegation. Secre-
tary Lane was strongly urged
not to discontinue the reclamation
work on the Montana projects.
The delegation first called upon
Chairman Newell of the newly
formed reclamation commission.
Mr.. Newell informed the Mon
tanans that he regarded the pro-
jects in that state as among the
best yet undertaken by the gov
ernment and he would recon-
mend against their discontin.
uance.
This statement of Director
Newell was laid before Secretary
Lane and the Montanans insisted
they would be able to show that
the results anticipated upon the
completion of the Sun and Milk
river tracts would equal if not
exceed in acreage as compared to
total cost, any project which the
government could point out.
Governor Stewart declared
that no evidence had come to his
attention and he had made a
thorough investigation Of the
whole reclamation question in
Montana during the last three
months. that there exists any
reason to suppose that the Milk
or Sun river projects are not
feasible and that the full results
anticipated from the projects
would not be realized upon COM
pletion of the work as mapped
out by the reclamation service.
lie admitted that some complaint
had been made by settlers in
Montana, but insisted that this
was not due to the nature of the
reclamation undertakings, but
more to the harshness of the law
which required settlers to make
their payments before they could
secure water for their crops and
because Of the short time per-
iod in which payments must be
completed. These matters. he
said, would undoubtedly be rem
edied in time by congress and
that they are in no way a re-

vice. He strongly advised that
accurate estimates be made at
the earliest possible moment as
to the costs of all projects per
acre in the state so that settlers
would know what they would
eventually have to pay for their
lands.
All in all, it is believed here
that the earnestness and logic of |
the arguments offered by the
Montanans have made a very
favorable impression and there
is little doubt that with cooper

officials the work will 20 on with /

TWO MORE GAMES
WON BY ROMAN

WUu Dl nUNAW
It's getting to be habit, this
winning of base ball games by
the Roman team. Practice and
good playing have combined to
win the last three games played
and the winning streak is ex-
pected to continue from this
time on to the end of the season.
A pretty nifty lot of players
are now wearing Roman white
each game and the team work is
getting better with each game.
Sunday they went to St. lg-
natius and the scalp of the Mis-
sion Reds is in possession of the
locals at the present writing.
This game is said by those who
witnessed it to have been the
best played so far this year, and
the score indicates as much, it
standing Z to 6 in Romans favor
at the close of the game. Up to
the last half of the ninth the
score was Z to 2, but batting
rally, coupled with some errors,
allowed the Reds to run in four
scores.
The battery for Roman was
Earl and Tom Wagner for the
first six innings and then Phil
Hull and Jimmy Dupuis were in
the points for the locals.
John Dishmon pitched for the
Reds and had it not been for the
air tight support he received by
the infielders the score would
have been much different. The
Roman boys all had their batting
eye and what looked like safe
hits were fielded so perfectly as
to shut off many runs.
The score by innings:
Roman -3 0 OO21 IT
Reds s--.-----OO 100000 1-6I
The game last Friday after
noon between Roman and the u.
S. r. S., to which was added
several players from the Poison
team, furnished excitement for
those who stayed in town from
the school picnic. The game was
arranged in hurry and to make
a team able to cope with the Ro-
nan sluggers the reclamation
boys secured the pitcher and
some additional players from
Poison, hoping to wallop us in
great shape. The game started
off with the water boys in the
lead, they making two scores in
the second inning, but Roman
came right back at them and
made two in the third and an
other in the fourth. Then Co.
velps Colts made two more in the
fifth and Roman to make sure of
the game proceeded to pound the
Poison pride out of the box and
when the runners ceased seven
more had crossed the home plate.
This made the score 5 to 10 and
it looked like a lead pipe, but in
the first half of the ninth the
Colts got busy and made six runs
which put them ahead. The
locals were in just the right fettle
then to make enough scores to
win and proceeded at once to get
them and with two singles and
an overthrow at second the win
ming scores came in. The score
stood II to IL in Romans favor
at the end. The game was really
better than the score indicates,
as aside from a bad inning each,
both teams played good ball.
Gilbert Burland pitched two
innings for Roman and then Phil
Hull went in and the way he re-
tired the batsmen was good to
see. He had everything on the
ball that day. Earl Wagner
pitched the last two innings but

ANNUAL SCHOOL PICNIC En-
J0YED BY OLD AND YOUNG

The picnic of the schools of the
northern end of district %, last
Friday, was a huge success. The
day was ideal with the possible
exception of being too warm.
BY HOO o'clock a large crowd
had gather at the junction of
Crow and Mud creeks. An at
tempt was made to have all eat
at one place, but the large crowd
and the tendency of schools to
lunch in groups by themselves
prevented this.
About one O'Clock the Roman
band arrived, being brought out
in Mr.. Scearce's auto truck. All
then adjourned to the ball ground
where a game between Roman
and country school boys was in
progress. This game resulted in
a decisive victory for the Roman
team, which now considers itself
almost invincible.
The band then played several
appropriate selections after which
the pre-arranged program of
sDorts was carried ont with the
following results:
Boys 100 yard race-lst, Abner Irish;
End, Walter Fisher.
Girls 100 yard race-1st, Goldie Irish;

these sports both by pupils and
patrons of the schools and some
exciting contests took place. It
was suggested by some that these
sports be made an annual feature

ner as the spelling contest was
conducted.
The principal and three men,
bers of the board were present,
and eight schools besides those of
Roman were represented. A con-
servative estimate of those pres
ent places the number at 500.
Such an attendance shows how
great an interest the people of
the valley have in their schools.
Judging from conversations
heard on the grounds all are very
much interested in the movement
to consolidate and would like to
see q start made this year. This
may be done by bringing in one
school to Roman. However, not
much can be done under present
conditions. At the very least
these picnics serve to bring the
people together where they can
discuss these matters and in
crease the general interest in the
schools of the valley.

WILL WUVI U0Iv
TO MUD CREEK
| Tuesday afternoon a party con
sisting of j. A. Lemire. F. J.
White, A. M. Sterling and a rep
resentative of the Pioneer, made
a flying trip to the N. P. survey
ors camp on Mission creek, the
trip being made in Lemire Bros.
new Ford. 1t was after four
O'Clock when the party left Ro-
nan and the drive was made di-
rect to the camp. Luckily, thanks
to the well timed driving of Mr..
White, camp supper was about
ready to be served when the OBJ
jective point was reached. and
the cordial invitation of Engineer
James Der1ig to join the survey
ors and participate in the feast
was quite willingly accepted
although White, Sterling and Le-
mire feebly suggested that they
could hardly spare the time and
also contended that they had al
ready had one meal that day.
The first statement can hardly be
questioned, for it does take those
fellows some time to eat a square
meal. AS to the contention that
a former meal had been enjoyed
that day, there is probably grave
doubt in the surveyors camp.
But it was a feast, and if the sur
veyors work in proportion to the
way they are fed there can not
possibly be any complaint from
headquarters.
An hour or more was spent in
visiting with the surveyors, as
jolly a bunch as it would be pos
sible to find. The conversation
run to about everything except
railroad building. which the WIS.,
itors were anxious to have broach-
ed but modestly avoided men,
tioning. Just before leaving,
however, Mr.. Derrig informed US
that for some days past they had
been working on the permanent
location of the line between Dix
on and Mission creek and that
this part of the work would in all
likelihood be completed this week
and the camp then moved to some
point in the vicinity of Roman.
From the new camp the line will
be picked up at Grow creek and
continued farther north,
The route now generally believ-
ed to be the one that will be
adopted follows an easterly course
from the old Mission creek bridge
for about seven miles. thence
turning north and taking practic-
ally an air line to a point on Crow
creek about half a mile east of
the government stone quarry.
From here, nothing is given out
as to the course that will be fol-
lowed and it will not be known
until such time as the survey is
started, which will be some time
next week.
On the return trip Mr.. Lemire
took the wheel and for a beginner
showed remarkable ability in
handling the car. Another trip
and he will have to be classed
the experts.
Crops generally in the lower
end Of the valley are looking very
good and the prospects are prom
