SUGAR BEET |NF0RMA.
TON OBTAINED BY ASKING

The Missoula Chamber of Commerce
has issued a booklet concerning the ad-
vantages and profits to farmers who
grow sugar beets, and any farmer may
obtain copy by applying to the sec
retary at Missoula. This booklet con-
tains number Of letters written in re-
ply to inquiries by Senator Brewer,
addressed to bankers in Colorado and
at Billings where other beet sugar fac
tories are located, and are printed for
the information of farmers who are un-
acquainted with sugar beet cultivation.
From the letters received by Senator
Brewer and reproduced in the booklet,
it seems that farmers in Colorado are
netting from $40 to $50 per acre and
the increase in land values has been
from $$335 and $40 per acre to $3.50 and
$3.50 per acre. The letters also state
that alfalfa sold before the factories
were built at from So to So. so per ton,
while now they are receiving from $6
to 81 per ton for their hay. Stock
feeding has also increased in every To-
cality and all farmers are doing much
better than before the factories were
built. The letters show that the net
income has increased from the land
production and the increase in farm
values are also high.
The Pioneer hopes that every reader
of the paper on the Flathead will send
for a copy of this booklet and read
every word printed then make a con-
tract for growing some acres of sugar
beets.

ENFORCING STOCK 0PD|.
NANCE UNCuvERS LAWYERS

AS a result of the town council en-
forcing the stock ordinance prohibiting
the running at large of stock within
the corporate limits, many men learned
in the law have been brought to light.
Poundmaster Sam Pierre is credited
with saying that Roman contains more
luminous legal lights than any city in
the big wide world, many of whom have
read the law to him from A to z. How
ever that may be, the city pound was
we'll filled the first of the week and the
commons, street and alleys of the city
were entirely free from stock at large.
Few of the residents of Roman who
We're owners of stock caught in the
general roundup the latter part of last
week are complaining above whisper,
but some of the stockmen residing out
side of town who had stock taken up
made quite healthy protests and
threaten contesting the right of the
city to impound their stock. All of
them paid the charges assessed against
them and drove their stock out
The city authorities have decided to
enforce the ordinance prohibiting stock
from running at large within the city
limits and remonstrances to the con-
trary will undoubtedly have no effect.
The legality of the ordinance and the
right of the town to enforce it may be
contested in the courts, but it will have
to come some time and that time might
as we'll be now as later In the mean
time, owners of stock will save them
selves trouble and expense by keeping
their stock up.

IMMENSE STEEL
SPAN C0LLhPSES

Quebec, Que, Sept. 12.-With the
loss of eleven lives the second attempt
to bridge the St Lawrence river re.
suited in failure when the massive
center span, weighing 300 tons, sud
denly collapsed and fell into the river,
Of the ninety men caught on the span
when it began to sway, all were res
cued except eleven and of these only
four bodies have been found.
The bridge was being constructed
at cost Of ST. 100000 to shorten the
railway journey from Halifax to the
Canadian Northwest by 200 miles.
The bridge stands on the site of
the structure which collapsed Aug. 20,
1907, with loss Of seventy lives.
The central span which fell weighs
more than 5000 tons and is GAO feet
long.
The collapse occurred when the span
was about fifteen feet in the air.
Boats from among the hundreds OF
spectators craft were rushed to the
spot where the span disappeared. The
river at that point is 200 feet deep
and engineers expressed doubts as to
whether the span could be raised or
not.
Observers said that the span broke
in two places. one OF the corners first
appearing to give way, followed al
most Immediately by break in the
center.

ROMAN, COUNTY, IS,

passed without spectacular feature in
none of the fronts was crushing blow
delivered by any of the belligerents
and none of the war chancelleries re-
ported any great gain by it's armies
in the field.
Probably the most significant NOV
was that of the British in the Struma
region of the Greek Macedonia front.
British Cross struma.
Here the British, after hard fight
ing, threw their forces across the
Struma at Neochori, at the southern
end of Lake Tahinos, which lies be-
tween Seres and Orfona, and at sew
eral other places near the lake. In ad-
dition four villages were captured and
held, Notwithstanding heavy counter
attacks by the Teutonic allies.
Whether this offensive by the Brit
ish means the commencement of an
attempt at a drive through Bulgaria
or is merely a maneuver to throw the
British line nearer Kavala, which is
about twenty-five miles east of Necho-
ri, has not yet been made apparent.
From the west of the Vardar river to
Lake Doiran the French are lombard
ing Bulgarian positions violently and
on the front held by the Serbians the
Bulgarians have been compelled to
withdraw
Roumanians Pursue Foe.
In the Roumanan theater the Aus
trians are in retreat before the Rou-
manians in the Maros and Toplitza
Valleys, while to the south of Her
mannstadt the Roumanians have oc-
cupied the village of Helimsar. vi
emma admits a further withdrawal Of
the Austrian forces near Gyergo.
Heavy fighting continues in Dobrud-
engagements along the entire Danube
front, but in neither region has any
important change in position taken
place.
On the Eastern front, according to
Berlin, Russian attacks along the
Stokhod river northwest of kovel, and
in Galicia between the Dniester and
slota Lipa rivefs with Halicz the
objective, failed with sanguinary
losses to the Russians.
Except for ombardments and the
repulse of German counter attacks,
Monday was without special incident
on the Somme front in France.

Carl E. Milliken lead his ticket, de-
featng Governor Oakley G. Curtis,
whom sought reelection, by a plural
ity of approximately $4,000.
The Republican drift extended to
county officers, the greater number
of counties choosing Republican coun-
ty attorneys and sheriffs. Their Of
fees are important locally because the
holders are charged with enforcing the
prohibition law.
johnson Is Defeated.
United States Senator Charles F.
Johnson, whose wide popularity had
given the Democrats great hope of his
return, was defeated by Frederick
Hale, son OF the former senator, by
approximately $500 votes. For the
short term seat in the senate former
Governor Bert M. Fernald defeated
Kenneth G. M. Sills, dean of Bowdoin
college. by 10000.
l.. B. Goodall won from l.. A. Ste
vens in the First congressional dis
trict by 5000. Congressman John A.
Peters regained his seat, defeating
John Z. Bunker in the Third district
by 1000. Ira G. Hersey defeated Leon
ard A. Pierce in the Fourth district by
5000.
BalIotng Is Heavy.
The vote was heavy, as had been
expected, for the campaign had been
waged with determination not seen
in recent years. The country was
searched out for speakers of national
prominence and the greater number Of
these battled on national issues.
The fight was particularly hot for
the two United States senatorships
and the four places held by Maine in
the lower house at Washington.
National defense, the tariff and the
eisbt-hour law for railway men loomed
up large in the speeches.
The Progressives, who, two years
ago. cast 1925 votes, returned largely
to the Republican party in opinion of
Republican leaders.
The closest fight was for representa-
tive from the Second district, where
Representative Daniel ]. McGillicuddy
was defeated by Wallace H. White,
Jr.. by 500 plurality.
