Married Couple Returns

A. M. Bronson and wife re-
turned to their home west of Re-
nan last Sunday. Mr.. Bronson
left here about Christmas time
on visit to his former home in
Nebraska, and after a short stay
there continued his journey to
Liberty, No., where, on February
10th, he was married to Miss
Frank B. Lane, formerly of this
place. The ceremony took place
at the home of the brides
mother. Shortly after, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bronsan left for Nebraska
and have visited there since that
time. Mr.. Bronson is one of the
progressive young farmers living
west of Roman, while his estim-
able wise is sister of Mrs. ]. B.
Bear, and lived on homestead
west of here long enough to COM
ply with Uncle Sans homestead
laws and secure a title. They
will make their home on Mr..
Bronson's farm. The many
friends of this newly welded
couple welcome them home and
extend hearty good wishes.

nosis of a bedbug and compar-
ing his objections to it with the
objections one might raise to a
professional politician, there ap-
pears to be similarity in some
respects at least. Of the bedbug
Jerry says:
L will admit that the bedbug
in all of his religious and family
relations is eminently above re-
proach. AS far as | know, he
lives a life of probity, economy,
industry, and represents all of
the domestic and civic virtues.
He is kind to his children, loving
to his wife, charitable to the
poor, eminently good citizen in
every way. My only objection
to him is on account of his Of
ficial status-in short, the way
he gets his living" :"

ONE HOMESTEAD ENTRY

During the closing hours of
congress a bill was passed pro-
viding that all pending home
stead entries made in good faith
prior to Jan. l, 1914, under the
enlarged homestead act by per-
sons who before making such
enlarged homestead entry had
acquired title to land under the
homestead law, be validated, if

MONTANA GRAIN. BUYING
NOW REGULATED BY LAW

The laws of the state of Mon
tana now require that all persons,
firms, associations and corpor-
ations engaged in the business of
buying grain for shipment in car
load lots or for milling shall be
licensed.
Grain buyers are classified as
follows: Those operating ele-
vators, warehouses or flour mills
(not doing a storage business)
shall be known as grain dealers
and must secure grain dealers
license for each building so oc-
cupied. No bond is required and
no fee for license.
Those operating any business
In which a grain storage busi-
ness is conducted shall be known
as public warehousemen and
must nave a license tor each
building so occupied and must
furnish bonds to insure the safe
keeping Of all stored grain. A
fee of one dollar will be charged
by the secretary of state for fil-
ing each bond. No fee for H.
cense.
Those not operating elevator,
warehouse, mill or other building
for handling grain shall be known
as track buyers and shall be IL
censed as such and required to
furnish a bond in the sum of
$40, 1000. A fee of one dollar will
be charged for filing each bond.
No fee for license.

FLATHEAD ROAD
MAY Be BUILT

Notwithstanding the talk that
is often heard to the effect that
a railroad will not be built across
the Flathead for at least five
years to come, there is still q
prospect that tbs road will be
built much sooner, and 1915 may
see construction work started.
1t must be admitted that con-
ditions have been against any
and all kinds Of construction
work, but that the railroads have
an eye on the fertile Flathead
valley is also certain.
A delay of five years in the
building of the road across the
valley would no doubt see "a
noticeable decrease in the value
of all kinds of real estate, and
would most likely result in great
benefit for those who are looking
for an opportunity to buy cheap
land. 1t would. be detrimental
to the country as a whole, how
ever, and every encouragement
should be held out to induce one
at least Of the roads looking this
way to build at an early date.
Reliable information came from
the east last week to the effect
that both the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railways
have filed their plats for a line
across the Flathead with the
general land Office at Washing
ton. This, it is understood, is
done under the belief that the
five per cent increase in freight
rates asked by western roads
will be granted, and in such
event it is announced that the
line from Dixon north will be
rushed to completion. There is
at least some hope, enough to
cause land owners sufficient en-
couragement to hold their prop
erty at a reasonable price and
not allow spectators to gather
in their holdings for compara-
lively nothing. 1t is the man
who sticks that wins and the
man who holds onto his fertile
acres in the Flathead until the
railroad comes will find himself
the possessor of property that
spells independence.

The Modern Woodmen dance
Wednesday night was one of the
best attended ever held in Ro-
nan. The committees in charge
left nothing undone to make the
affair a pleasant one and the
music was par excellent. The
Woodmen boys established a
reputation as entertainers that
will last witt. . tha dance loving
population of Roman and vicinity,
and besides doing this netted a
neat little sum to pass into their
treasury.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1915-03-19

Public. warehousemen may
designate the amount of bonds
they desire to furnish, the mini
mum amount being $4,000.
Their bonds must at all times be
sufficednt to cover the value of
all stored grain in their possess
sion. The storing of grain Of a
value exceeding the amount of
bonds will be considered sufficient
cause for cancellation of licenses.
Therefore in designating the
amount of bonds it is desired to
file, applicants should provide for
an ample amount rather than try
to get along with too little. This
plan is to be given a fair trial
and will work satisfactorily with
the full cooperation of those
storing grain. The Chief Grain
Inspector, however, reserves the
right conferred upon him by law
to fix the amount of bonds in any
case.
The transaction of the bust
ness Of grain dealer, public ware
or track buyer without
a license is a misdemeanor pun
ishable by a fine of not less than
twenty-five nor more than one
hundred dollars, each day con-
a separate offense.
Records must be kept of all
grain bought, sold, stored or
of each storage receipt
issued or cancelled, and reports
Of same made to the Chief Grain
Inspector whenever requested.
The charges for storing grain
shall not exceed the following:
For receiving, elevating, insur-
ng and delivering and storage
for the first fifteen days or part
thereof Except flax 2 cents per
1ushel, flax 3 cents per bushe];
or storage thereafter one-half
:ent for each fifteen days or part
hereof until the grain shall have {
oeen in store ninety days, and .
hereafter one-half cent for each
wenty days or part thereof. The !
'harge for cleaning grain shall
lot exceed one cent per bushel.
The penalty is provided for
weighing or in the TAX
ng OF more dockage than actually
'xists in any lot of grain or the
locking of any lot Of grains not
locked at the Minnesota terminal
wheat, rye and fax.) This
means that the seller must re- c
eive pay for the full amount of '
rain delivered and that no de- S
uctions may be made for shrink r
ge, leakage in transit or any =
ther reason. The penalty ap- =
lies alike to buyers, their agents $
nd employees and was incor- e
grated in the law for the pur- a
ose Of breaking up the practice h
t taking a little from each load :,
y means of weights or dockage. 4'
he department means to be G
ggressive in the punishment of -
TENDERS.
Copies of the new law will be
ublished in pamphlet form at
n early date and will be for
arded to anyone upon applica-
on.

OUR KALEIDOSCOPE.
ALWAYS WAKING Up.

One time I was n millionaire.
My dust was mountain high,
spread myself ana made n splurSe,
Resolved to do or die:
All things were mine which Fortune pours
From ont her golden cup.
All. had nothinf; left to lack
When-something woke me UP!
One time I was n senator
And in the senate halls
My fervid oratory shook
The plaster from the walls
Tho masses all declared me "white"-
Success was mine to sup;
The presidency ioomed in sight.
When-somethin hing woke ne up.
One time I was Eildcd bard.
And every word of mine
Was valued equally with gold
And twenty carats fine;
In 1Iardy's housc-by Kipling's side
I sat me down to sup.
The bubble water sparkled free
WheE-something woke me up!
One time loved lovely girl.
And while my bosom burned
With fervid passion. long and late,
I found my love returned
Her eyes were windows lit by dawn,
Her mouth coral cup
Was tilted high for me tn kiss
When-somcth!nR woke mo up'
