ROMAN DAIRY OWNER
PLEASED WITH REPORT

D. D. Hull, manager Of the Roman
Dairy, is in receipt of complete re-
port from l. G. Arthur, assistant dairy
commissioner of Montana, who last
week made a personal inspection of his
dairy plant and caused the tuberculin
test to be administered to the cattle.
Mr.. Hull has given much study to the
selection and breeding Of his milch herd
as we'll as close attention to the hand
ling of his milk and cream products and
expresses qualification over the result
of the inspection.
Every animal easily passed the ply
sical test and showed absolute immun-
ity from tubercular taint Out of a
possible one hundred points, the dairy
scored ninety and three-quarters. An
inspection of all dairies offering milk
and cream for sale is required under
the state law and is most rigid. 1t en-
braces every possible fanitary feature
having to do with the production and
handling of milk or cream, among the
most important, the health of the herd,
wholesomeness of ration, equipment,
cleanliness of COWS and attendants, con-
struction and condition of stables and
milk room, as we'll as methods of hand
ling, separating and bottling the milk.
"Our milk analysis, Mr.. Hull stated
in discussing the report, "was surpris-
ingly satisfactory. A test was made
of the milk of each COW separately and
showed from four to six and two-tenths
per cent butter fat with mean aver
age of five per cent. for the entire herd.
Three and one-quarter per cent but
ter fat is the legal requirement for milk
sold at retail in Montana and in some
states it is even lower.
"Inspector Arthur informed me that
but one herd of the many he has in
spected throughout the state has sur
passed our record in the percentage of
butter fat production, and that herd
was comprised entirely of pure bred,
registered cattle kept on a forced and
selected ration.
Mr.. Hull attributes the high standard
attained by his herd in the yield of but
ter fat not more to the individual char
acter of his mixers than to the ideal
dairying conditions and advantages OF
the Flathead.
"Here we have pure, wholesome
water" he declares, ''and a soil which
produces fodder rich in sustenance .anc
high in food values. We are favored
by freedom from pestiferous insects
common to many localities which are
So annoying to heavy milch cattle, ano
climate quite as conducive to the
health and well-being of delicately breC
dairy stock as to the human family
There is no more fruitful field for The
dairymen, nor one that promises more
more benifcent results than the Mis-
sion valley"

CAPITAL WITH ENERGY.
sLAvs PREPARE POSITIONS

ment Of Heavy Artillery by De-
struction Of Roads-Gern,ans
Capture Two Towns.

London, July 2G.-The Austro-Ger-
against the Russian armies defending
Warsaw with undiminished energy
ard at some points report that prog
ress has been made.
They are operating, however,
through country which the retiring
troops have laid waste and where
what roads there are, are little suited
for the movement Of the heavy artil-
lery which is necessary for the bom-
bardment of the great fortresses that
bar their way.
1t is not expected, therefore, that de-
cisive actions on any of the fronts will
be fought for few days yet, although
the battle between the Vistula and
the Bug rivers, where Field Marshal
Won Mackensens army is advancing
toward the Lublin-C Chelm railroad, has
about reached climax. Here, accord
ing to the German official commune
cation just issued, the Germans have
succeeded in breaking the obstinate.
resistance Of the Russians at several
points and forced them to retreat.
SIav Army Able to Retire.
The Russians, however have had
sufficient time to prepare series of
positions, and it Is believed that they
will make every effort to hold them
until, II it becomes necessary, their
army is able to retire from Warsaw.
TO the south of Warsaw in front Of
the fortress Of lvangorod, the Russians
have retired to the Vistula river which
with it's forts and lack of bridges,
1t is believed must porm a barrier
which the Austrians and Germans will
find it difficult to overcome.
The Northern German army, under
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, also
Is reported to have made progress, but
It is stated that it has not yet been
able to cross the Narew river another
natural defense of the Russian trian-I
gle behind the Polish capital. In fact,
ell along the front the Russians have
resumed their counter-attacks from
the fortress of Novogeorgievsk, but
failed in their purpose.
Capture Fortified Villages.
Before Rozan another of the river
fortresses, the Germans declare they
have stormed and taken two fortified
villages and captured number OF pr:s-
oners.
Opinion here is still divided as to
whether Grand Duke Nicholas, tho
Russian commander-in-chief, will ac-
cept a decisive battle or is simply try
ing to inflict as heavy losses on the
enemy as is possible before withdraw
Ing from Warsaw and the whole Polish
salient to Brest Litovsk and the Bug
river line.

mitted to bid for or purchase any other
tract at such sale.
eff any person who has made partial
payment only, for lands purchased fails
to make any succeeding payment, when
due, the moneys Heretofore paid for
such lands will be forfeited, the sale
will be cancelled, and the lands will be
held for such disposition as may here
after be prescribed. Lands not sold at
the sale will be held in like manner,
Purchasers will not be required to
show qualifications as to age, citizen
ship, or otherwise, or to furnish proof
as to the condition or character of the
lands, and purchases may be made in
person or by agent.
"The superintendent of the sale is
hereby authorized to prescribe such
rules therefor, not in conflict herewith
as the exigencies may require, and he
may at any time suspend or indefinitely
postpone the sale or adjourn it to such
time or place as he may deem advis-
able, and he may reject any or all bids
which in his opinion are less than the
actual cash value at which any of the
land offered should be sold.
"All persons are warned against en-
tering into any agreement, combination
or conspiracy which will prevent any
of said lands from selling advantage
ously, and all persons so offending will
be prosecuted criminally under Sectior
1913 of of the Revised Statutes of the
United States"
Very little of the land to be sold lies
in the country around Roman, the majol
portion being west of the Flatheao
river. There is some around Ravall
and Arlee and east of St. Ignatius, ;
little not far from the mouth of Grow
creek and more south and west of Dix
on. The appraised price runs from 10
up to $3.85 per acre.

The Maude Henderson Co

The Maude Henderson Co. held forth
at the Roman opera house last Satur-
day and Sunday nights. Owing to the
lack of advertising, together with the
fact that many had arranged to attend
the Chautauqua at Poison, and the
busy harvest season, poor houses
greeted them on both nights. How
ever, the shows were good, far above
the average, and those who attended
were more than pleased and insist that
the company deserved more than was
received The manager announced that
his company would return during the
coming fall and remain for a four-night
engagement. The reputation left be-
hind on the recent visit will insure a
packed house upon their return.

Survivors Unable to Talk.

Many survivors were too hysterical
to relate their experiences. AS soon
as those received at the hospitals
were in condition to leave they were
taken to their homes, many owners
of automobiles having offered their
machines.
An undertaking establishment in
North Clark street was surrounded
by crowd of curiosity seekers that
threatened to get beyond the control
of the police. A morbid crowd trailed
through the rooms where there were
twelve bodies stretched out on the
door.

mencing August %, 1915.
The land shall be listed for sale in
tracts embracing the northeast, north
west, southeast, southwest quarters of
sections, unless parts of such subdivi-
sions are not subject to sale or are
appraised at different prices in which
event all contiguous lands subject to
sale in such quarter sections, or all such
lands of the same price, shall be listed
for sale as separate tracts. The lands
shall be offered for sale as listed, unless
the owners of adjacent lands request
the offering in smaller subdivisions ad-
jacent to the lands so owned, in which
event the superintendent of the sale is
authorized, ia his discretion, to first
offer such smaller subdivisions and then
to offer the remaining lands in such
listed tracts.
"Tracts sold for $50 or less must be
paid for in full at the time of sale, and
a minimum payment of $50 and 40 per
centum of the sale price, must be paid
at the time of sale if the amount is
more than $50. If the amount is 500

if more than S1OO the remainder may
be divided into two equal payments

'No entry will be allowed until pay
ment has been made in full, but in case
of partial payment the register will
issue non-transferrable memorandum
duplicate certificate, showing the
amount of bid and the terms of sale
and reciting the right of the purchaser
to make entry upon completing the

chase and partial payment by deed, but
the assignee will acquire no greater
right than that of the original pur-
chaser, and the final certificate and
patent will issue to the original pur-
chaser when the payment has been
completed.

SALEM.

At the age Of eighty-one, Mrs. John
G. Hartnell, sanity woman of Salem,
Wisconsin, passed away in the Chris
tian hope. She was born in Over
moigne, Dorsetshire, England on May
10th, 1884. She was confirmed in the
Church of England, but upon her mar
fiage both she and her husband united
with the Society Of Methodists. Upon
coming to America they cast their lot
with the society at Salem to which
Mrs. Hartnell was loyal through a long
life Of service to the community. She
was Bible Christian, and she found
spiritual joy and food in its content;
and she was won't to quote it as au-
thority, as advice and as comfort in
life. The community knew her as
Aunt Betsey.o And many owe to her
their inspiration, comfort and hope
when they too were weary and the
world looked sad. The great lesson of
her life was her devotion to, and the
training Of her family. In this respect
she was not unlike in principle to the
mother of Wesley. Seven children of
whom she needed not to be ashamed are
now entrusted with the tasks she left
undone. She and her husband rounded
out life together, in all to rare felicity.
