1t will require a special train of
twenty-six cars to transport to the
1914 Montana State Fair the Wild
West show OF the Irwin Bros. of
Wyoming, who for the last eighteen
years have been putting on the noted
Cheyenne Frontier Days Wild West
features. The securing of the mon
ster attraction, which Is the largest
exclusive Wild West outfit in the
world, sets a precedent for amuse
ment features at the Montana State
Fair, giving indications that the week
of the big exposition, from Sept. 81
to 26, will be the largest Joy-fest"
ever participated in by the fun seek
ers Of the Treasure State. The enor-
nifty of the Irwin show far out
shadows any previous Wild West
attraction. The fact that there will
be over one hundred performers and
over two hundred animals will assure

which is distinctive of the cowpunch-

pion spinners and ropers Of the North
west will give exhibitions daily with
the lasso, both on foot and saddle. On
three nights of fair week, Sept, %, "a
and 25, pretentious night show will
be put on in which the entire Wild
West events of the Irwin Bros. will
be the main feature. Their ensemble
act, in which all members partake In
depicting monster Western battle,
will be an event with historic signiti-
canoe, full of thrills, and marked by
sensational horsemanship by both
cowboy and Indian. Neither the fair
management or the Irwin shows will
spare any expense in making the Wild
West events of the 1914 fair better
than any Western feature ever staged
in the state of Montana.

Such things are difficult to en-

than explained. About 9 o'clock
the guests arrived and from that
time until about midnight or un-

commendable fashion; the pres

rooming accommodations will be
far better than in 1913 when
every one who came to the cap

There have been no calls made
upon the subscribers to the Pio-

wheat has reached the dollar
mark in price, we would like to
say just this: If you want to
pay that back subscription and
a year in advance, we will take
wheat delivered to us in Roman

to do so. Oats at $1.25 per hum

DOLLAR WHEAT
HELPS FARMERS

That which every farmer has
longed to see has come at last
dollar wheat. The market for
the past week has been at or near
the dollar mark and the effect is
wonderful. Farmers who here
tofore have felt that their bust
ness was a losing venture, are
smiling over the prospects for
next year. 1t gives them en-
couragement such as nothing
else could.
The situation on the Flathead
has been similar to what has
occurred in almost every new
country. The people who home
steaded the land came from al
most every occupation-a few
were farmers-and the results
for the first few years were dis
couraging even to the practical
farmer. Many settled on the
land with just sufficient funds to
buy a team and the lumber
needed to build a small house.
They expected to grow enough
grain and other farm produce to
keep themselves and families,
but dry weather and adverse con-
ditions made it practically i'm
possible for them to do so. The
inevitable followed. Final proof
was made on the land and a
mortgage given to secure the
money to pay up past due obliga-
-tions, and this caused added
burdens. There was the food
and clothing of the family to be
provided and there was also the
interest on the mortgage to be
paid. 1t was a discouraging out
look and but for the unexpected
rise in grain values many of the
farmers who have worked so
earnestly would have been COM
PEELED to give up the fight and
would have sought other means
of supporting themselves and
their families. But the dollar
wheat has changed things Won
derfully. Many who were dis
couraged and disheartened have
taken a new hold of affairs and
will now be able to meet their
obligations and many will have a
surplus for the purchase of
needed stock and other invest
ments which will make them
more independent than at any
previous time since they arrived
on the Flathead.
No one can rejoice more at this
streak of good fortune than the
Pioneer. This paper has been
here all the time and has been
conversant with actual condi-
tions during all the time of the
development Of the whole val
ley. 1t has observed the people
come and go, has told of the
crops raised and those which
have failed and every time the
latter has happened has felt the
misfortune as much as anyone,
but during all the time has not
for one moment lost faith in the
ultimate success of the Flathead.
Now it rejoices with those who
are fortunate and expresses ad-
ditional hope that next year will
be even more propitious than
that of 1914. It will be remem-
bered that months ago this pa
per said "stick" and it again
renews that admonition.

BOARD Of SURVEY
ON THE FLATHEAO

1t seems from reading the
daily papers that a commission
has been on the Flathead MAX
ing an investigation into the irri-
cation problem. This commits
sion was composed of Major A.
E. Partridge, Blackfeet Indian
agent; Major Fred Morgan. Flat
head Indian agent; Major C. B.
Lohmiller, Fort Peck Indian
agent; w. M. Reed, chief engi-
neer of the Indian bureau at
Washington, and the following
superintendents Of irrigation: w.
S. Hanna, Billings; L. M. Holt,
North Yakima; H. M. Dittz, Salt
Lake City.
This board was called a board
of survey" and are reputed to
have made a ten-day journey
over the reservation. Few here
were aware of such a board be-
ing in our midst, so it must have
been kept a secret so as not to
allow any of the interested par
ties On the reservation to dis
cover the plan of campaign they
were making, lest an attacking
force fully armed and equipped
and of such immense strength as
to kidnap them, be organized
before they could make the sur
vey" and their escape.
There are any number of peo-
pie here who would have been
pleased to have had an opportun-
ity of meeting the board of
survey" and talking irrigation
matters with them. 1t can be
positively assured, also, that no
harm would have befallen any of
the "board'' had they given the
people here such an opportunity.
Besides, this "board" might have
been able to have gained some
knowledge from such an inter-
view. 1t might be that by talk
ing with the farmers on the res
ervation who are now using the
water for irrigation purposes,
and with those who expect to use
! 1t in the future for the same pur-
pose, that they could have re-
ported on what the people here
desired. Again, it may be that
this is just what the board most
desired to avoid.
The daily press says that it
is understood that a favorable
report from this board to the In
. -f'
dian Office will mean an increased
activity in the work of complet.
ing the irrigation system. F" Un.
derstood, mind you. In the
meantime, will the settlers here
be compelled to pay the cost of
this junket trip of this board of
Indian agents, board of sur
vey" or what ever you want to
call it? With the appointment
of a few more boards" and the
expenses incidental to their MAX
ing such trips of observation, it
will require more than $3.50, 900
per year, the amount appropri-
ated for work here during the
ensuing year.
This criticism is not offered in
the sense of decrying the need
of completing the system. 1t is
for the purpose of showing the
method employed to arrive at
knowledge which should be as
certained by open-above board
means. There is no reason why
this board should go over the
reservation in a secret manner.
1t is just such things as this
which makes the average govern
ment official SO disrespected in
every community where he has
authority, and one is compelled
to believe that such officials are
in fear that every American citi-
zen. who is not a government
