WILL STOP GAMBLING
ON THE RESERVATION

"a new broom sweeps clean" is an
old adage, but there have been instan-
ces where an old broom also swept
clean. Missoula county's sheriff is go
ing to do little house cleaning, ac-
cording to an interview in the Mis-
soula papers.
1t appears that complaints have
been filed with him of gambling on the
reservation and he has announced
that he will do his best to suppress it.
''The trouble" he says, "is that the
reservation gamblers shut up shop as
soon as deputy sheriff gets off the
train, making convictions virtually
impossible. | have had too many COM
plants to believe the reports of gamb-
ling on the reservation false, but it's
hard to catch the culprits. I want to
say, however, that any person bring
ing complaint and evidence to the
sheriff's Office will be doing me a ia
vor, and promise immediate action"
There may be gambling on the res
ervation, but Roman has been as free
from this vice for some time as any
community in the state. The sheriff's
force under Mr.. Kelley put gambling
out of the running in Roman, but there
may be gambling going on elsewhere.
If there is, it should be stopped forth
with. Everything else on the reser-
walton has been closed and it would
be only fair to close gambling. Sher-
iff Whitaker's efforts in this line will
be approved locally.

Fewer Rails Laid

Although Montana led the United
States in 1913 in the miles of railroad
track constructed, the treasure state
fell far below this mark last year.
In 1913 Montana saw built 375 miles of
railroad track. Last year Montana
saw but so miles Constructed. These
figures are obtained from the Railway
Age Gazette. The statistics show
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road built 26 miles of track last year
and the Great Northern built the re-
mainder. The records show that rail-
road building was at minimum last
year throughout the country, owing
partly to the domestic dullness and
railroad agitation IN the legislative
halls, and partly to the depression
caused by the European war.

1900 Acres Yearly

The reclamation service re-
ports that in the Flathead pro-
ject, Montana, 6,416 acres were
irrigated in 1914, an increase
over 1918 of about 1,800 acres,
or approximately 1876 per cent.
Crops were harvested from 6, 204
acres, of which oats occupied
over so per cent and wheat about
20 per cent.
However, the report shows
progress in the development of
more intensive crops, and there
is a gain in the average value OF
crops per acre, which amounted
to $l3.O6, as compared with
$11. 76 in 1913. Potatoes gave
an average Of lis bushels, or
$62 per acre.
A half acre of onions yielded
at the rate of $211 per acre.

Honest Joe

In days long ago, when the In
dian was lord of the western
deserts and mountains, when an
Indian was condemned to die he
was turned loose until the day
set for his execution. It is said
he always came back to pay the
extreme penalty. I'm these
modern times" says the Mis-
soulian, "the police courts give
the same freedom to the drunk
and-d -disorderly Indian, telling
him to go out and collect the
amount of his fine.''
This is what a Missoula police
magistrate did in the case of
Joe Blodgett, who was hauled up
for an over-indulgence in fire
water in Missoula ON New Years
eve. Joe was fined a straight
$50 and sent back to the reser-
walton to rustic the cash out of
the tribal strong box. But Joe
returned last Saturday without
the velvet" " having been turned
down by the sachems of the
tribe, and he is now paying for
his revelry on. the municipal
woodpile. Honest Joe.

LIMIT OF CIVILIZATION
REACHED BY LOCAL INDIANS

Speaking of the rapid civiliza-
ton of the Indian, the Missoula
Sentinel says:
Cato Sells. the gentleman
who rules the affairs of the noble
redmen from Washington desk,
believes that his wards are soon
to be,so advanced in civilization
that the government may sus-
pend the care of them. The dis
trict court this morning furnished
a shining example of the fact
that Mr.. Sells is exactly right,
when Mary Jane Tillier of St.
Ignatius got away with a fren-
zied-matrimonial stunt tn a t
classes with the ultra-fashion-
able and shows that she is civil
lized to the limit:
MARY Jane obtained a divorce
at 10 o'clock, a marriage license
at 1915, and became Mrs. An
tome Finley at 1920. Finley is
a one-eighth breed and his bride
is half Indian. Finley is from
Roman.
MARY Jane was divorced
from Cleafuse Tillier of St. lg-
natius on a showing Of desertion
and non-support. She was mar
ried tohim October 16, 1913.

Single Standard a Failure

The Cincinnati Enquirer is still firm
in the faith. 1t was one of the few
leading and influential journals of the
East, which protested against the
demonetization of silver and fought
Loyalty and earnestly for the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver. Nor has it
yet surrendered nor abandoned the
fight although, even in the far west,
few newspapers, however firmly they
may believe in bimetalism, venture at
the present time to say much in behalf
of silver. The enquirer has not
changed it's views.
The Enquirer declares that the de-
monetization of silver and the estab-
lishment of the single gold standard
are responsible for the moratorium in
18 countries, for the fact that 100000
men are out of employment in New
York city, for the thousands of stock
brokers, their clerks, bookkeepers,
stenographers and assistants, "idle
for months by reason of the break
down of the financial system which
Wall street demanded 20 years ago."
1t declares that TIE narrowing of
the basis of financial redemption of
the Worlds currency" is responsible
for the financial collapse of Eng
land" and the stringent conditions in
money affairs everywhere prevalent.
The single gold standard has been
tested in the crucible of great world
crisis and has proven a failure.

F|RS7 NATIONAL BANK D!REC.
TORS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the di-
rectors of the First National
bank was held in the office of the
bank in Roman last Tuesday and
Wednesday. John Dahlgren of
Missoula and DIR. J. H Heidel-
man of Dixop were the only out
of-town stockholders present.
The books and business of the
bank were thoroughly gone over
and at the conclusion of the
work the officers announced that
the banks condition and the
past years business was most
gratifying. The past year has
shown a healthy increase in the
volume of deposits and business
done and it is safe to say that
the First National is now in the
front rank as one of the solid
financial institutions of Western
Montana. "..
Ed. Donlan, who has been
president of the bank since it's
organization, retires, and is sue
ceeded by John Dahlgren, form
er vice-president. Dave E. Men,
denhall, a prosperous farmer and
stockman of Roman, was elected
to,a position on the board of d.
rectors, having become interested
in the bank during the past year.
His connection with the bank
will add much to it's standing.
A dividend of 10 per cent was
declared and 81, 900 carried to a
surplus fund. The directors
voted to purchase the building
and lot, and also the vacant lot
east of the bank, from Stanley
Scarce. 1t was also decided to
build on the vacant lot, the
building to be for rent. As a
just recognition of faithful SER
vices rendered, a substantial in
crease in the salaries of Cashier
White and Assistant Cashier
Holm was voted.
The new directors are John
Dahlgren, John H. Heidelman,
Geo. C. Eckley, Dave r. Men
denhall and F. J. White. The
officers are John Dahlgren, pres
ident; Geo. C. Eckley, vice-pres.
ident; F. j. White, cashier, and
Carl Holm, assistant cashier.

IS BEING 0vERW0RKED
SAYS RAILROAD MAN

G. w. Morrow, general land and
townsite agent of the Milwaukee rail-
way, in recent interview given out
at Great Falls, opposes the formation
of any more new coun;les in the state
of Montana at the present time, or for
long time to come. Mr.. Morrow's
close connection with the Milwaukee,
and through it with other large inter-
ests of the state, including the politi-
cal interests as we'll, is significant.
There is no doubt but what the pol
iticians and "big interests" have de-
creed that there must be a stop to the
making of new counties in Montana
and if their influence will accomplish
it there will be law passed by the
present legislature which will stop
the making of new counties for years.
As Governor Stewart said in his mes
sage, the politicians and advocates of
special privileges feel that the senate
is becoming 'unwieldy'' and they
think that while they are still in con-
troll of enough members of the body,
now is the time to keep it from get
ting away entirely.
Mr.. Morrow is ostensibly opposed
to new counties on the grounds of
economy and because he has heart
for the poor Taxpayers of the state.
Those who have followed the opera
tions of the land department of the
Milwaukee, under his charge, espec-
tally in respect to the opening of and
sale of new townsites along the Mil
waukee, will be glad TO learn that Mr..
Morrow has a heart. New townsites
are a boon to the Milwaukee, but
mix" on new couN1ies-unless the
county seat happens to fall to one of
the Milwaukee townsites.
New counties may be wrong, but
the Pioneer predicts that the people
living in the territory within the
boundaries of the old Flathead In
dian reservation will see the day that
they will regret deeply that they did
not take advantage of the present law
and make new county here before
the present legislature got a whacI
at the law.ef 1928 and made it i'm
possible to do so.

Land Land For of Settler Settlers 5;
Water For The Land

In the senate Wednesday Senator Walsh introduced
bill granting additional rights to settlers reclamation pro-
ects by providing that making entry under the
reclamation project of less than 100 acres in order to
form the farm unit of the project may make additional
entry Of public land which, with the reclamation project
entry shall not exceed 100 and the homesteader shall
not be required to reside additional entry.
Tuesday Senator Myers introduced amendment to the
Indian appropriation bi to appropriate $500000 for
nung work the Fathead reclamation project This will
take the place Of the knocked out of the bill in the
house. Senator Myers will probably succeed in getting his
amendment adopted and it will then be to the lower
house again.

IS CERTAIN
IN EUROPEAN WAR

A London report says that ac-
cording to information received
from two distinct neutral sources,
Germany has already come to the
realization that she cannot con-
quer in this war. A letter from
a Danish banker, written to the
head of one of the worlds great
est financial houses, in which it
was stated that a Berlin mag
nate of finance had admitted to
the writer that the ruling pow
ers of Germany had acknowl-
edged that it was impossible to
win. The text Of this part of
the letter was:
Zone of the Berlin captains of
finance has confessed to me that
the German heads of state were
reconciled Ito the idea) of the
impossibility of winning.)
The letter is highly confden-
tial and was only given to the
New York Times correspondent
because of it's bearing on the
Times editorial of Dec. Is,
For Germany Peace With Free
dom," which has been quoted all
over the world.
Information from another
source strikingly confirms the
statement made in this letter.
This comes from an official of a
neutral country, who has just
arrived in London after a long
visit to Germany and France.
Throughout Germany, he says,
popular confidence in the military
organization and the eventual
triumph of the German armies
remains unimpaired, but the mil
itary authorities themselves have
been obliged to recognize that
their chances of a smashing VIC
tory are gone.
Their view now is that the war
must result in a sort of military
stalemate. All hope of reaching
Warsaw is now abandoned, and
even the capture of Warsaw
would not affect the issue.
The allies, according to this
view, will be equally impotent to
infict a fatal blow upon Ger
many. The allied offensive, ac-
cording to the German, calcu-
lations, will cost 5000 men for
every mile Of ground gained, and
the talk of an allied march upon
Berlin from either east or west
is regarded as mere foolishness.
The present situation, accord
to the German military point of
view, is entirely in favor of Ger
many. Her armies hold hostile
country and her own borders,
except in one important instance,
are inviolate.
While, however. the Germans,
according to this informant,
claim the honors of war, their
military leaders have reluctantly
reached the conclusion that a de-
cisive triumph cannot be won by
force of arms.

Numerous New Industries Being Established in the
 Southern States.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 1i.-R view ing the business conditions of the South for the week, tin Manufacture CTS Record repOr,s broadening activ- tiles in many directions. with more evidences than for sOmo years of a spirit of de ermination to rsssiye- ly push development work of all kinds. Long dormant commercial rganizations are being revived, while others that nave not bsian very active during tll5 last year yesrs' are putting forth new energy and life, with q view to awakening their communities to the opportunities of the hour This spirit sean in individuals, in corpora tlons and in commercial organiza- tions is one of the most interesting phases of the entire business situa- tien in the South. Not since 1907 has this spirit been as pronounced as it is at present. It is indicative Of the w'aol3 trend cf Southern thought and gives promise of large achievements.
 Among the industrial activities re- ported for the week are several com panies organized in Missouri with a view to developing ircnore proper ties and building furnaces.
 The active demand for fluorspar in steel works has. it is claimed, taken the full output of all fluorspar min ing companies in the country. A new company, capitalized at $500,000 has been organized in Kentucky, where this industry is so largely developed, with a view to a daily output Of 800 tons, while another company has been organized in Mississippi likewise to Operate in Kentucky in tluorspar mining.
 The Demado Lead & Zinc company has been organized at Tulsa. Okla, with capital stock of $20O,0OO to develop lead and zinc properties.
 The Broad River mills, Blacksburg, s. C., has increased it's capital to double it's capacity by adding 5000 cotton spindles.
