Pacific Fleet Going
to Mexico,
w|NsLow IN COMMAND
warshIps Will Be Prepared to
Land Marines.

San Diego, Cal, June 20.-The cruis-
er San Diego, flagship of the Pacific
fleet, with Admiral Cameron MGR.
Winslow on board, was prepared to
leave for either Guaymas or Mazatlan.
The cruiser Chattanooga left for Aca-
pulca and the cruiser Denver left soon
afterward for Salina Cruz.
The United States destroyers Hull
Hopkins and Truxtum sailed from San
Pedro to accompany the San Diego.
The cruiser Milwaukee will follow in
few days when necessary repairs are
completed.
The warships are under orders to
proceed to the west coast of Mexico
at top speed. The ships bunkers were
filled to capacity with coal and large
supplies of meat and other stores
were taken on board
The cruisers Colorado and Pitts
burg, the latter the flagship of Rear
Admiral F'ullam. commander-in-chief
of the Pacific fleet, will sail to join
the ships under Admiral Winslow.
Including ships now in Mexican wa
ters Admirals Winslow and Fullam
will have fleet of seventeen cruis-
ers, gunboats and destroyers for what
ever duty required.
May Land BIuejackets.
That Admiral Winslow contemplates
landing a force of bluejackets and
marines on Mexican soil in an emerg-
ency was indicated by the fact that
officers and sailors of ships owning
motorcycles were requested to bring
them aboard
1t was understood Admiral Winslow
scouting purposes if he found it neces-
sary to land bluejackets.
The sudden ordering of the Pacific
fleet to Mexican waters was made
necessary by series of disturbances
at MaZatan.
The situation became critical Sun
day, when an ultimatum, amounting
practically to a declaration of war
against the United States, was served
on Commander Arthur G. Kavanagh of
the gunboat Annapolis by General
Flores, CarranZa governor of the state
of Sinaloa.
General Flores has taken a hostile
stand against Americans and it was
his refusal to permit Americans to
leave Mazatlan that resulted in the
clash Sunday between bluejackets of
the Annapolis and Mexicans charac-
teriZed as CarranZa soldiers.

UNUSUAL SIGHT, SNOW
FOUR INCHES ON JUNE q

People of Roman witnessed some
thing Wednesday morning, June 81,
which they probably never saw before
anywhere, unless in extremely high
attitudes or in the Artic regions. This
was four inches of snow on the ground
and sidewalks.
Monday evening, June 10, it COM
menced to rain about 8 o'clock and
there was heavy fall all night and up
to noon Tuesday. Then snow COM
menced falling and continued almost
uninterruptedly until Wednesday morn
ing. For several hours the snow melt
ed as fast as it fell but toward evening
considerable snow could be seen on the
sidewalks and ground and in the morn
ing of Wednesday there was good
four inches. 1t melted all the time
and it is estimated more than a foot
of real water fell. The ground has
not received such soaking in years.
Many of the fruit and shade trees
are badly broken but aside from this
no damage is thought to have been
done. Some fields of winter wheat
may be down pretty bad but it is
thought it will straighten up again; if
not, some damage will result.
The material advantage will more
than offset any damage, however, as
all spring grain will be many fold bet
ter than without the storm. Spring
grain is certain to be large crop and
most fall grain will be benefited also.
The range will again put on heavy
growth and taking all things into con-
sideration the rain and snow will be of
great benefit to the whole valley.
Farmers from near the Round Butte
state that the snow was fully two feet
deep there Wednesday morning. 1t
began showing Tuesday morning and
kept it up until after midnight, the
fall being the greatest ever seen there
at any time of year. They are we'll
pleased over the moisture, however,
asserting that the damage done will
be more than made up by the good it
will do the spring crops, which are
practically assured.

Sundays Storm

Numerou us stories come in concerning
the storm last Sunday evening. Much
hail fell at Missoula and points between
there and Crow creek just south of
town. Places on the Big Flat report
hail of unusual size, followed by a
heavy fall of rain. At Missoula it is
said that the rain fell in sheets and all
along the road were evidences of a
heavy fall of rain. Between Grow and
Mud creeks very little rain fell From
Mud creek north the rain again showed
signs of being heavy and at Poison and
north from there the wind blew fierce
and much water fell. Those from Ro-
nan who attended the ball game at
Somers and went across the lake in the
boat report a bad storm, with the boat
pitching badly and in danger most of
the way. Not only from the high sea
running, but from the logs and drift
wood which would rush past the boat,
endangering it's safety every minute.
1t is said to have been about the worst
storm on the lake for years. At Ro-
nan the wind blew pretty strong for
short time but no damage resulted and
no apprehension was felt at any time.

Republican Club

Owing to the incement weather, due
to the heavy snow fall last Tuesday,
there were only a few who came out
to organize the Republican club called
to meet in Scarce hall. Those who
attended did not deem it wise to organ
ize until more were present and decided
to call another meeting for next Tues
day evening, June q, when it is hoped
more will attend. The meeting will be
held at $3.50 and everybody, especially
the ladies, are invited. 1t is to be
hoped there are a sufficient number of
live republicans in Roman and the sur
rounding country to form an organ
ization, and next Tuesday will deter
mine whether there are or not. Com
mittee.

WHAT WILL ROUMANIA DO?
Fall of Czernowitz Has Big Diplomatic
Value

Paris, June 20.-"What will Rou-
mania do?" is the keynote and the
headline on all comments in the morn
ing newspapers on the capture of
Czernowitz by the Russians.
Although forecasted some time ago
the news has been received with en-
thusiasm.
All the newspapers agree that the
diplomatic results of the fall of Czer-
nowitZ far exceed it's strategic value
They point out that the city is the
capital of Bukowina, the Irredentist
province of Roumania, which was
promised to the latter country in the
event Of her joining the allies.
Bukowina has twice formed a part
of Roumania and the possibility of it's
return to the kingdom for a third
time has been eagerly seized upon by
the leaders of the Pro-Ally party in
Roumania.
The interventionists have lost no
time and dispatches from Bucharest
say that they have opened vigor-
GUS campaign and are confident they
will be able to bring Premier Bratiano
over to their side.

HEAVY FIGHTING CONTINUES
Russians Advancing on koveI Meeting
Desperate Resistance.

London, June 2O.-Heavy fighting
between the Russians advancing to-
ward Kovel and the Germans under
General Won Linsingen is reported by
the Berlin Tageblatts correspondent
at Austrian headquarters, according
to an Amsterdam dispatch to tie Ex-
change Telegraph company.
The Russians are in superior num-
bers and the dispatch asserts that the
Tageblatt account of the fighting is
worded so as to prepare Berlin for
the news of another Teutonic retreat.
The Tageblatt says the Austrians
have taken up fresh positions between
Czernowitz and the Dneister, where
they are awaiting further Russian at
tacks.
In the Middle Stripa sector, on the
direct line to Lemberg, the German
general. Count Won Bothmer, is re-
ported to be maintaining his resist
ance against heavy pressure by the
Russians.

UNCLE JOE is SARCASTIC
Terms President Wilson Biggest Car
We Ever Had,

Washington, June 20. - Joseph G.
Cannon, in the house, declared Presi-
dent Wilson is the biggest car Amer.
ica has had. Mr.. Cannon said:
without speaking disrespectfully
of him. your president, nominated to
succeed himself, has made respectable
all presidents in the history of the
country by sending down his arbi-
trary commands to the house and SEN
ate.
"Tal1l about Gar Roosevelt and
Gar Jackson and Car Grant and all
the other czars we have ever had
they could not be any bigger czar
than Wilson.
But, after all. God knows, it is
holy writ that whom the Lord loveth
he chasteneth. We have had four
years of it. l think we have had our
full Dose"

SECOND MONTANA GUARDS
TO Do MEXICAN SERVICE

and the United States to serve
as border guards, releasing some
10000 regular troops now on
that duty. In case of war with
Mexico, General Funston will
have so, 900 soldiers to meet the
needs of a campaign.
President Wilson's ultimatum
has been handed the Mexican
ambassador and upon the action
of Carranza depends the issue of
war or not. That there has been
provocation enough is true and
this action should have been
taken two years ago. 1t would
have prevented war at that time
us we'll as now.

BODY OF MRS. MEU|LL|ER
FOUND At SAND POINT

Word was received in Roman last
Friday that the body Of Mrs. Abe
Meullier had been found at Sand Point.
1t was stated that Identification was
possible only from the clothes on the
body. decomposition having taken
place and the features being unrecog-
nizable. Interment was made at Sand
Point.
The deceased was for several years
resident of Roman and her husband
was engaged in the blacksmithing bus
ines here at the time the reservation
opened and for three years afterward,
retiring only after his health failed
him. After several operations Mr..
Meuillier died at Sand Point during
the winter, about Christmas, and left
a family of five children and his wife
in destitute circumstances.
When found the body was lying along
side a log on the road leading to a farm
they had owned when first moving to
Sand Point and it is thought she had
started out to the farm and had sat
down on the log to rest, when an at
tack of heart failure ended her lifes
This is conjecture, however.
Her sister, Miss Anna Lemouel of
Roman, was in Sand Point at the time
of her disappearance and returned
home after every possible effort had
been made to find the body. She
brought one of the orphan children
with her and the little girl is still in
Roman. Three of the children were
adopted by people in Sand Point and
the other one taken to Canada by an
aunt. Mrs. Meuilier carried some
fraternal insurance.

President Wilson has called
upon all the states to mobilize
the state militia, and the Second
regiment of the Montana guards
has been called to service. Pre-
parations were made at once to
receive the state troops at Fort
Harrison at Helena and most of
the companies were expected to
arrive there yesterday. Adjutant
General Phil Grennan has had
charge of the mobilization and
all the companies will be recruit
ed up to war strength, making
the regiment constitute 1900 men
and 50 officers.
The state troops will be sent
to the border between Mexico

PERCY N. ROSS GETS
RECLAMATION CONTRACT

Percy M. Ross received a telegram
from Washington last Fridap announc-
ing that he was the successful bidder
for big reclamation contract in Valley
View.
Mr.. Ross had just finished his Nine
Pipe contract and will move immed-
lately to Valley View where he will
commence on the new work.
In this connection it may be said
that word comes from Washington that
preparations are under way to use the
$3.50, 900 appropriation for the Flathead
and prosecute the work to as near
completion as possible this year.
