Tenth Wedding Anniversary

The entertainment given at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. S. Hollingsworth on Thurs
day evening last developed into
a celebration of the tenth or tin
anniversary Of the host and hos
tess. The Pioneer anticipated a
little in publishing an account of
it last week, publishing the no.
tice before the party was held
and at the time did not know,
and very few others did either
for that matter, that it was a
celebration of their wedding.
When it came time to serve the
refreshments some amazement
was observed among the guests
when their lunch was brought to
them on tin plates and the coffee
in tin cups. Not being too
curious, none asked questions,
but finally Mrs. Hollingsworth
announced it was their tenth an
niversary and the tin dishes told
the balance of the story. The
house was crowded with friends
and everybody wished them
many returns of the day.

SPECIAL EXAMINER TO De.
TERM|NE DEAD INDIAN HEIRS

John Holcombe, a special ex-
aminer Of the Indian department,
was in Roman Friday last in COM
pany with Major Morgan of the
Jocko agency. While here a call
was made on the Pioneer and
it was learned that Mr.. Holcombe
is here for the purpose of determ-
lining the heirs of dead Indians,
that the allotments of such de-
ceased Indians may be sold and
the money distributed to the
heirs.
1t may be of interest to a great
many to know that there are 433
deceased Indian allotments on the
Flathead reservation, of which
number POI hearings have been
had and the heirs determined.
This leaves 232 hearings to be
had. These hearings are just
like court proceedings. all the
testimony being taken down and
forwarded to Washington for ex-
animation and final determina-
ton.
Mr.. Holcombe will conduct
these hearings principally at the
agency although some may be
held at different points on the
reservation where old and infirm
Indians are unable to make the
journey to Jocko.
The adjudication of the affairs
of the deceased Indians will be
of great benefit to the Indian
heirs and many white people as
we'll. The heirs have been kept
out of their money which will be
derived from the sale of the lands,
and people who are anxious and
willing to buy the land are now
prevented from doing so by rea-
son of the fact the heirs are not
known and their consent to the
sale of the lands cannot be secur-
ed. These hearings will settle
the heirship and prompt action
by the apartment will relieve the
situation for both Indians and
whites.

WESTERN GRAIN BUYERS
WANT RESERVATION CROP

Stanley Scarce and Fred J.
White drove to Ravalli Tuesday
to meet Messrs. G. ]. Tidmarsh,
presidentof the Seattle Grain Co.,
M. Harshman, secretary of the
Centennial Milling Co. of Spo-
kane, and Mr.. Lord, also connect
ed with the grain business of the
Pacific coast. who are making a
trip over the reservation to as
certain the extent and quality of
grain produced here this year.
They visited the section around
St. Ignatius Tuesday and came
on to Roman for the night. We'd
nesday they went west from here
and took in practically all the
grain producing section.
The Centennial company used
quite a quantity of grain from
the reservation last year and
found the wheat just the kind
required to mix with the softer
wheat of Washington to attain
the best results with their flour.
Their visit here at this time may
result in a better market for res
ervation wheat.
The visitors were surprised at
the vastness of the valley and
acreage of grain and said the
yield per acre would average we'll
with that of Washington and Ore
gon, while the quality is better,
especially for their purposes.
They left yesterday via Poison
and Kalispell for the coast and it
is believed they will be IN the
market good and strong this fall
for the wheat in this valley.

work will be given in at least
three schools of the district. Ger
tificates will be given for perfect
attendance and should be eagerly

where the straw was scattered
Of any place on the ranch. She
thinks this ground will yield so
bushels per acre, while the bal
ance does not look better than 10
or fifteen bushels. Others may
find that scatteaing straw and
plowing it under will give them
equally good returns for the
labor involved.
The straw will hold moisture
besides fertilizing and in many
instances neutralizing the alkali
which shows in some places. 1t
is much better to add to the soil
in this manner than to stack the
straw and burn it. Save your

SAW FIFTY BUSHELS OF
WHEAT PER ACRE FRIDAY

A party of Roman gentlemen
composed of A. ]. Brewer, l. M.
Brandjord, w. S. Hollingsworth
and A. M. Sterling, made a trip
to St. 1gnatius and vicinity last
Friday forenoon in the latter's
Cadillac. They visited among
other places the ranch of j. M.
Doyle east of the Mission, and
say they saw as fine a field of
wheat on Mr.. Doyle's farm as
they ever saw before in their
lives. They estimate that the
yield will be fully so bushels per
acre. Mr.. Doyle is one of the
good farmers of the valley and
this field demonstrates just what
can be done by good farming.
In the afternoon they made a
trip to the north and northwest
of town and report some fields
as suffering with drouth and the
extreme heat. To these gentle
men there is no question as to
the necessity of having water
available at as early a date as
possible on the farms of the Mis-
sion valley. They are firmly
convinced that very little of the
territory intended to be irri-
gated will successfully withstand
cultivation unless capable of be-
ing irrigated during the growing
season. With the bitches con-
structed the value of the land
will be trebled the moment the
water is available. This season
should be an object lesson to the
most skeptical on this subject
and the farmers here may con-
gratulate themselves that Secre-
tary Lane makes his trip over
the territory during a year when
water is SO badly needed that he
may become fully acquainted
with the urgent demand.

relating her experience as a
farmer she told of hauling the
straw from last years crop and
scattering it in two pot holes"
on the place. When she filed on
the land these ''pot-holes" con-
tanned water, but plowing the
land dried the water up but the
ground was so hard it was not

TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
AGAINST RESERVATION men

The board of county commits
sioners, at the instance of the
county attorneys office, has Sc
cured temporary restraining
order against Dan Syla, w. w.
Meranda and Joseph Mcdonald
in which the closing up of high
ways is the question at issue.
Messrs. Syla and Meranda are
charged with threatening to
close the Sloan's Ferry road, and
Mr.. Mcdonald with refusing to
allow the board to repair a
bridge across Post creek between
Roman and st. Ignatius.
1t will be remembered that
Syla and Meranda were arrested
some weeks ago and taken to
Missoula for trial, but after two
attempts on their part to have
the hearing held. they were dis
charged without trial. They
feel that they were not treated
fairly in not being allowed to
present their side of the contro-
versy in some court.
Mr.. Mcdonald objects to the
road being established through
his land but informs the Pioneer
that he has offered and still
offers right of way along the
section line. He says he needs
the road and that other people
in that vicinity would also be
benefited thereby, but that he
does not wish the road to run
diagonally across his land.
The chances are that at the
hearing to be held in Missoula on
the restraining order, all the
matters in dispute will be amic-
ably settled.
