Greatest in the Union

One of Americas financial kings
praises Montana. P. A. Rockefeller
says:
81 have been coming to Montana for
number of years, and more and more
l find its possibilities astounding. Mon
tana isdestined to be, in my opinion, the
greatest state in the Union. She has
resources unparalleled, diversified re-
sources not given to any other of her
sister states. can easily believe any
thing ! hear of the wonderful resour-
ces of your state, for know in all in
vestigations have made, not one-half
has been told me. And l want to say
that you have in Montana just as great
a resource in your men, for you have
that kind of sturdy Anglo Saxon man
hood that builds empires"

BUSINESS CORNER
CHANGES HANDS

One of the best business corners ir
Roman, the one southeast of the Roman
State Bank formerly owned by Mr..
Powers of Tacoma, was sold last week
to A. j. Brewer. Since securing the
property Mr.. Brewer has cut it up into
25-foot lots facing the north and is
selling it out to parties who desire to
build.
This corner, while always recognized
as one of the best in town, has been
vacant, the owner holding it as an in
vestment, That it has finally been
sold and placed on the market in small
err lots will help materially in the build
ing up of the business district.
Work on the foundation for the first
building on this corner was commenced
Wednesday. Messrs Pronovost and
Bailey have let the contract for a
structure 25x70 feet which when COM
pleted will be occupied by them with a
pool hall. 1t is rumored that another
good building will be erected there in
the near future for meat market,
while it is whispered that two-story
brick 50x1OO will occupy the corner
next summer.

RECORD BREAKING CROWD
Al OPENING OF OPERA HOUSE

With four hundred and fifty COM
Portable opera chairs in place in the
new Roman opera house. still standing
room was at premium last Saturday
night when the new play house was
dedicated by the Missoula Elk's Min
strels. The finishing touches were
placed on the new building only a few
minutes before the performance begun,
and without time to give it a trial test
the show commenced. Everything
worked like charm, the lights being
perfect and the curtains and stage pro-
perty shifting with ease and perfection.
About forty people comprised the min
strel troupe and the commodious stage
provided ample room at all times.
The show itself was up to all expec-
tations, the jokes cracked by the end
men being new and up to the standard,
the niger songs good, while the solos
and the singing of the male quartet and
the specialtles in dancing and song re-
ceived meritorious and hearty applause.
The staging of the minstrel show for
the first performance in the new house
demonstrated fully that Roman now has
an opera house in which any of the
better plays can be properly presented
and one that is beyond doubt equal to
any in Montana outside the largest
cities. This fact will undoubtedly draw
many of the better troups this way in
the future. Mr.. Gehlert, the proprie-
tor, is entitled to the praise of the
community for the enterprise he has
shown in giving US such building.

COMBLES
IN GREAT CHARGE

London, Sept. 26.-Attacking stimuli
taneously on an arc of fifteen miles,
running from Martinpuich to the
Somme, the British and French forces
delivered another smashing blow on
the German lines and pushed forward
their positions for notable gains.
From Martinpuich to Combles, dis
tance Of six miles, the British drove
in their wedge to a depth of more than
mile and captured in the attack the
important strategic towns of Les.
boeufs and Moravel, the latter scant
mile north OF Combles.
To the French fell the town of Ran
court, two mills east, and the out
skirts of Rregicourt, one mile north
east of Combles. In addition trenches
near Fregicourt, in the vicinity of
Bouchavesnes and to the south from
the vicinity of the Canal Du Nord to
the Somme were taken.
The capture of Moravel by the Brit
ish and part of Fregicourt by the
French apparently seals the fate Of

tcrminedly held for weeks despite the
violent attacks thrown against it.
Defenders Are Trapped.
The defenders of the virtually sur
rounded town have left to them for es-
cape only the valley, a mile in width,
running north-northeast, and in the
traversing of which they must come
under the guns of the British and
French, respectively, from Moravel
and the vicinity of Fregicourt.
Another notable step in their ap-
proach upon Peronne is marked in the
capture by the French of trenches in
the Canal Du Nord region.
Except in France there have been
no important engagements on, any of
the various fronts. Berlin reports the
repulse of Russian attacks in Volhy-
mia, Galica and the Carpathan noun
tains.
Petrograd still is silent as to the op-
erations on the Eastern front, but un-
official advices say the Russians have
begun new offensive on large scale

The Roumanians are still struggling

in the Szurduk and Vulkan passes of
the Pennsylvania Alps, but. accord

In the Macedonian campaign con-
tinued reports of successes for the en-
tente allies come from their various
war chancellories. West of Florina
the Russians have captured a hill
from the Bulgars; the Serbians have
crossed the frontier into their own
country and reached a position north
of Krusograd, while the French north

vEN|zEL0S TO SET
UP RIVAL REGIME

London, Sept. 26.-Former Premier
Venzelos has left Athens and will
identify himself with the revolution
a1y movement by issuing manifesto
to the Greek people from Canea, Is
land of Crete, where he probably will
direct the formation of separate gov
ernment, according to the dispatches
from Athens.
The former premier was picked up
from boat in the open sea by the
steamer Hesperia after leaving the
capital and will visit Crete and Sa-
loniki, where the revolution is form
ing, it is said
Those accompanying Venizelos in
clude all the members of his former
cabinet, except NJ Raktavin, minister
of justice. Admiral Condcuriots also
is with him, the dispatches said.
To Invite King.
The proclamation, it is said. will in
vite King Constantine to head a ma
tiunal defense movement.
Sixty-nne of the eighty members Of
King Constantine's famous Cretan
guard propose following Venizelos, ac-
cording to advices from Crete.
An Athens dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle says the Venizelos proclama-
ticn will provide the last opportunity
for King Constantine to place himself
and his government in line with the
wishes of the mapority of Greek peo-
pie who do not want any declaration
Of the reinforcement of the monarch.

AND THE WORST
IS YET TO COME

The cost of living this winter will
reach an unprecedented scale, and will
affect every person, no matter what
item may be purchased, according to a
table of comparative prices compiled by
Chicago dealers. Merchants and pro-
ducers are virtually unanimous in a
forecast of further increases in prices,
which have already advanced alarming
ly within the last year.
Food prices, it is said, vary accord
ing to quality and quantity, but it is
the small purchaser at retail who must
pay most. Wholesalers say canneries
throughout the country have informed
them that fall and winter deliveries
will be only one-third normal, while the
last vegetable crop is said to be only
half the quantity expected.
Canned fruits will be 80 per cent.
higher and canned vegetables are ex-
pected by wholesalers to increase 20
per cent. in price.
Paper bags, in which the housewife
carries home her market purchases,
have increased in cost from IS cents in
wholesale lots to $1.55. This advance
is typical Of all paper products.
Cotton goods have advanced between
25 and IS per cent. Woolens have kept
pace with cottons.
The best lines of women's shoes for
fall and winter will cost twice as much
as the same article last year, dealers
say.
Even collars, that two-for-a-quart
staple which men have known for gen
erations, will be thing of the past.
Collars now have been advanced to Is
cents each and the laundries which
have for years laundered collars for
z11a cents have announced that 3 cents
each will be the future cost.
Cigar jobbers raised their prices this
week to between 81 and S. thousand
to the dealer.

BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN LAKES
WILL BECOME RESERVOIRS

Economic necessity, the force which
has brought us from savagery to civili-
zation, is about to despoil the scenic
beauty of Lakes Angus Mcdonald and
St. Mary, in whose crystal waters are
reflected the noble peaks and shining
glaciers of the Mission mountains.
These two bodies of water, which rival
in natural beauty the storied lakes of
Switzerland, are to become part of
the Flathead reclamation project, and
will be used as auxillery reservoirs for
storage of water for irrigation.
At each of the lakes the U. S. re-
clamation service now has large force
of men at work erecting camps and
clearing away timber preparatory to
laying concrete for dams and fumes.
Lake Mcdonald will be raised 81 feet,
then tapped 20 feet below the present
water level, with a storage capacity of
about $1,000 acre feet.
Lake St. Mary will not be raised,
but will be tapped by tunnel 70 feet
below the present water level, giving a
storage capacity almost as great as
that of Lake Mcdonald.
The engineers and crews now at
work at the two lakes recently arrived
here from the jackson lake enlarge
ment project, similar undertaking,
though on much larger scale
Engineer Leigh Cairns is in charge
at Lake Mcdonald and Engineer F. f.
Smith at Lake St. Mary. 1t is esti-
mated that two years will be required
to finish the two jobs, provided sufli-
cient money is appropriated by con-
gress to press the work to conclusion
without delays. st. Ignatius Post.
