GREAT PRICE FOR

Unless there is an increase in
the meat production in the next
ten years, according to President
Gustav Bishof of the American
Meat Packing association, por-

more than one dollar a pound.
If the production of cattle de-
creases in the same ration and
the population increases as it has,

James Grant pulled in from
near the Mission Monday even
ing with his combine harvester,
having finished his harvest for
this year about an hour before
the rain started Sunday after
noon. He has cut and threshed
600 acres of grain this fall and

piece, his "a head of horses,
probably scenting a rest, took
the bits in their teeth and started
off across the field on a run.
The gait was a trifle too fast for
the combine and the cylinder
was broken and the machine put
out of commission. Mr.. Grant
was lucky that the horses waited
until the final end before they
became so frisky. No one was
hurt and all the horses came out
of the frolic unharmed, the only
damage being to the machine.

ROOSEVELT WILL Be
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE

Col. Theodore Roosevelt will be
a candidate for the republican
nomination for president in 1916,
with an excellent chance of be-
ing successful, says a Salt Lake
dispatch. This is the opinion of
United States Senator George
Sutherland, who is here from
Washington during the lull be-
tween the passage of the tariff
bill and the debate on the cur
rency bill.
This is the first suggestion
from an authoritive source of
the likelihood of Colonel Roose-
welt returning to the republican
party and again seeking it's
leadership. 1t comes with pecu-
liar force from Senator Suther-
land because of the fact that the
senator is one of the leaders of
the conservative republican forces
in the senate. Senator Suther-
land was opposed to the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt at the Chicago
convention and vigorously op-
posed his election last fall.
Senator Sutherland did not go
so far as to say that he would
support Roosevelt's nomination,
but he did say that he believed

REBUILDING BURNED ELE.
vAT0RS AND WAREHOUSES;

Messrs. O'Connell and Rey-
nolds and the Beckwith Mercan-
tile Co., all Of St. Ignatius, who
lost their warehouses and ele-
vators by fire at Ravalli last week,
have commenced rebuilding and
will be prepared to care for and
handle this years grain crop.
O'Connell & Reynolds were not
heavy losers by the fire, being
pretty we'll covered by insurance,
and their greatest loss will be
the inconvenience caused by in
terruption of business at this time
of year.
The Beckwith Mercantile Co.,
while carrying a heavy insur-
ance, lost considerable. In ad-
dition to the elevator and several
thousand bushels of grain, they
lost also a big stock of lumber
and a large quantity of merchan-
disc stored in the warehouse.
Both firms will be prepared to
handle any grain coming to that
place for shipment, which will be
good news to the farmers of the
valley. Very little grain has been
marketed so far this fall and by
the time the movement of crop
starts in earnest the new eleva-
tors and warehouses will be CON-
pleted and ready to handle the
business.

President ]. NJ. Hannford and
several other officials Of the
Northen Pacific railroad will visit
Roman for a short time tomor-
row, being on a trip of inspec-
tion that will cover the proposed
route of the branch line across
the reservation.
The officials are due to arrive
in Ravalli about $50 in the MORN
ing. They will be met there by
automobiles from Poison, Roman
and St. 1gnatius and the trip
across the valley will include St.
1gnatius and Roman and the
country between and surround
ing, arriving at Roman at prob
ably 10 O'Clock. A short stop will
be made here and the journey
will then be resumed to Poison,
where lunch will be served by the
Poison chamber of commerce.
After luncheon the return trip
will be commenced and the route
will follow as closely as possible
the recent survey made across
the valley, which will land the
party in Dixon. There the
officials will be met by the presi-
dents special train.
A meeting of the Roman COM
mercial club was held Wednes-
day night to arrange for the re-
ception of the railroad men. A
committee of four was appointed
to go to Ravalli and meet Mr..
Hannaford and party, to act in
conjunction with a like committee
from Poison and St. Ignatius.
Dixon has also been requested to
have representatives present.
A committee with A. M.
Thornburgh as chairman was
also appointed to arrange for an
exhibit of the different products
of the valley, the same to be
assembled and arranged for Sat-
urday. While the time is short,
yet it is believed a very credit
able showing can be made and it
is hoped that anyone having
good samples Of grain, fruits,
vegetables, etc., where time will
permit, will bring them in to
Mr.. Thornburgh for use on Sat-
urday. A good display will un-
questionably leave a favorable
impression with the railroad men
and will doubtless have much to
to do with their conclusions.
The committee will leave Ro-
nan about GAS Saturday morn
ing for Ravalli. AS many others
who care to make the trip are
earnestly invited and the Poison
people will be more than pleased
to see large delegation from
Roman come to that place and
enjoy luncheon with them.

\. P. RAILROAD OFFICIALS
TO Be HERE TOMORROW

Roosevelt would be nominated.
These are the indications which
Senator Sutherland declared
point to the successful candidacy
of Colonel Roosevelt for the
republican nomination.
First, the progressives are re-
turning in great numbers to the
republican party and they will
practically all be back in the re-
publican party in 1916. This is
shown by elections in Michigan,
Missouri and Maine.
Second, the progressives polled
a larger vote in 1912 than the re-
publicans and the strength of
the progressives who return to
the republican party, coupled
with the friends of Roosevelt al
ready in the party, will probably
be sufficient in the 1916 conven-
tion to give Roosevelt the NOM
ination. Presidential preference
primaries in an increased num-
ber of states will also be to the
advantage of Roosevelt.
Third, Roosevelt himself has
already deserted the progressive
party; he took no part in the
progressive campaign in the re-
cent Maine election and gave the
progressives there no word of en-
couragement. He will leave soon
for South America to be gone
until after the congressional
election of 1914, and without his
personal leadership the progress
sive party will rapidly disinte-
CRATE. Roosevelt is a shrewd
politician, quick to see the trend
of events, and he is probably
prepared to take advantage of
what seems to be the opportun-
ity for him to seize the leader
ship of the republican party and
secure the nomination.

congressman .JOnn M. Evans,
who has been spending a week
in Montana, at Missoula, Butte
and at the state fair in Helena,
is a constant booster for the pres
cnt administration. In recent
interview in Butte with a repre-
sentative of the Anaconda Stand
ard, he said:
president Wilson is stronger
today than when he was NOM
mated or elected, or when he
was inaugurated," the congress-
man said. This is particularly
true in the east, where, at the
the time of his inauguration,
there was much uncertainty as
to the course he might show.
But he is inspiring confidence
everywhere and those who were
doubtful at first are now for him
and believe in him.

be finished in congress by We'd

rency bill probably will go

MIXED IN MEXICO.

The dispatches from MEXICO bear
decidedly improved tone. It appears
that the representatives Of the Euro
pean governments In tho City Of Mexi-
co, incitod by their homo governments,
are bringing quiet but firm and strong
pressure to bear upon the Mexican gov
ernment to yield to the demands of the
ment In this pressure Is undoubtedly
the Withholding Of the promised $780,
100000 loan by France and Great Brit
ain to Mexico. The Huerta government
is short Of money Revenues cannot
be collected in the disturbed state Of
the country, and the Federal treasury
is empty. There is no money to pay the
soldiers, and they are disaffected and
in some cases mutinous. It has been
noteworthy all the time that the Fed
eral army lacks in efficiency and spirit,
but this lack of pay is certain to add
materially to the discomfort Of tho
troops, In fact, the dispatches say
very plainly that "the Huorta govern
ment is facing mutinous army, dis
satisfied because no pay has been
forthcoming for weeks.'
Special Representative Lind Is cred
itcd with sending oDtimistic dispatches,
indicating that he Is making headway,
and that the Huerta government Is list

a good deal Of concern to what he has
to say by way Of advocacy of the VIII

has not been made public, but enough
of it has been printed to show that our
