The Roman Meat Market is in the
market for good fat beef and dressed
pork. Call at the market and see us
if you have anything iE this line for
sale.-adv
Jacob Swalling believes in utiliz-
ing all of the hog except the squeal
and there is not very much of that
left, either. He butchers and dres-
ses his porkers at home and then
sells the dressed carcasses. They
net him lie per lb. or better, and
pay him we'll for the trouble. Sew
eral of the neighbors follow the same
plan of marketing. That's one easy
and sensible plan of eliminating

The Pioneer has been requested by
the department of the interior to
submit bids for the publishing of the
lands to be offered at the next sale
of 'non-c competent and inherited In
dian lands.' 1t is very nice to be
remembered in these things, even if
only so far as requesting bid. But
from past experience, the Pioneer
considers it only waste of time to
prepare and submit bids for this
Work-it all goes to the Missoulian
anyway. Bidders on any piece of
work, whether to be let by the gov
eminent or an individual, are en-
titled to know after the award is
made, what the other bids were.
This courtesy is not extended by
Uncle Sam on this work, and after
the award is made none but the sue
cessful bidder--we don't mean to say
the lowest bidder-know at what
price the work was let. For the
present at least, the Pioneer will
not be competitor.
Advices from Helena are to the
effect that an effort will be made to
compel all county assessors of the
state to hereafter assess all property
at it's actual value. Heretofore it has
been the universal custom in every
county of the state to assess PROF.
erty at about 40 per cent of it's actual
value. Should the move prove sue
cessful the valuation of the property
of the state will show a net increase
of so per cent. and undoubtedly an
increase of taxes will follow 1t is
