GOVERNMENT LAND SALE
Beautiful Lake Lots at Flathead Lake,
Montana, Placed on Market
July 26, 1915.

Flathead Lake, Montana, is one of
the most beautiful bodies of water in
the United States. 1t comprises $50
square miles, being in round numbers
80 odd miles long and 10 miles ), or
more in width. The climate is dry and
mild, the elevation above sea level
about 5000 feet, and the mountains
around the lake are not surpassed in
grandeur by any in the West. The
rainfall is from Is to 16 inches annu-
ally.
About the lake the government now
has a considerable acreage of num-
erous fine building and town sites, adj
mirably located, with good roads to
and from Missoula, Ravalli, Dixon and
Plains, Montana, growing towns on
the Northern Pacific Railway which
runs just a few miles south of the
lake in prospect. These building sites
have been surveyed and plated into
villas and are to be sold at public auc-
ton by the government beginning
July 26, 1912. They occupy prominent
and attractive locations on the lake
shore and islands in the lake and vary
in size from two to five acres.
The lands will not be sold for less
than $1,000 an acre for cash and up
on reasonable terms. There is good
road entirely around the lake with
several other cross roads. The lands
are good for fruit and garden truck
ing or simply for suburban resi-
licences for outing uses. Here is a
rare chance to procure mountain
protected home at small cost in one
of the most attractive parts of the
west. Detailed information may be had

INVISIBLE IcEBERGs.
Conditions Under Which They Cannot
BE Seen on Clear Nights.

Conditions Under Which They Cannot
Be Seen on Clear Nights.
In a recent communication to the
New York Tribune Abbott 81. Thayer,
the artist. asserts that many vessels
have been lost by collisions with ice
bergs because under certain conditions
Of sky and light they are invisible. He
cites the fact that on the occasion Of
the Titanic disaster, although the black
ship was clearly visible to survivors at
q distance Of several miles, they could
not see the white bergs against which
they actually heard sthe wash Of the
sea.
Mr.. Thayer claims that on a clear,
starry night the bergs are SO nearly
the same color as the sky that they are
totally invisible and that the same Is
the case under many conditions Of
cloudiness, the only exception being
when the side Of the berg viewed is in
such shadow that 1t shows black
against the sky. In other words, 1t is
impossible to see white against white.
In answer to the criticism Of those
who say they never saw a berg at
night that was the color of the sky
the answer is that this is very natural.
because this is the very condition I'M
der which the berg is invisible. Mr..
Thayer makes the suggestion that q
very simple way to avoid the danger
Of colliding with an invisible berg
would be to use searchlight. The re-
fiection would show up the berg very
plainly.

Wild Cinnamon.

Although the cultivation Of cinnamon
on the plantations In French Indo- Chi
ma is constantly increasing, most Of the
product is obtained from a wild shrub
growing in the forest. When a native
discovers cinnamon tree he must
make declaration before the local ad-
ministration, who cut down the tree
and authenticate its product. The prof
its accruing to the discoverer of sim
gle tree Sometimes reach a large sum.
The variety most priced is the wild
royal cinnamon Of Thanh-Hoa, which
is thought by the Chinese to possess a
high medicinal value.

DISTANCE A GUN CAN SHOOT.
Main Factors Are Initial Velocity and
Angle Of Elevation.

The distance a shot can be thrown
depends primarily on two things-the
velocity with which it leaves the muz-
zle and the angle Of elevation above
the horizontal. Other things affect 1t
also, but these two are all important
OF course light shell will lose its We
locity quicker than heavy one, for it

The friction Of the air. Temperature
and the humidity of the air both have
their effect. But the two great fea-
lures are initial velocity and angle Of
elevation. .--..-
Any one who throws a ball knows
that it is higher near the center of its
fight than at either end The farther
it is thrown the higher it is at the cen
ter. 1t was long ago found that any
projectile to reach maximum range
must be thrown at about forty-five de-
grees above the horizontal. This ap-
plies to a baseball as well as 1000

1t height Ii thrown lower graV1ta-
ton pulls it to the ground before it has
covered it's maximum distance.
Another thing-the ball or shell falls
at greater angle than that with which
it started. If it is thrown at forty-five
degrees elevation it will fall with near
er sixty degrees because of the retard-
ing effect Of the atmospheric friction.
This friction is continually slowing up
the projectile and eventually all but
stops it. But meantime the action of
gravitation is pulling it farther and
farther downward from its initial
path. The net result is to bring it to
earth much sooner than If the second

ARE MAKING MISTAKE

The Herald editor was surprised to
discover at the G. N. depot Saturday
evening seventy-five cans of cream
which will make about 1925 pounds
of butter. A small amount of this
cream was shipped in from other
points but the greater portion was de-
livered by farmers residing in the vi
cinity Of Sank Centre. The shipment
was perhaps a trifle larger than the
average daily shipment, but there
should not be any shipped out. The
Herald is fully convinced that the
farmers will find in the long run that
they are making a grevious mistake
in shipping their dairy product away
from home to be manufactured into
the finished article. ,
