HORSE SALES SHOW
MARKED INCREASE

Telegraphic reports from Bostor
and New York to the Horse Associa
ton of America, with headquarters
in Chicago, show that the sales OF
horses in the eleven northeastern
states-Pennsylvania, Maryland and
states east and north-are outstand-
ing exceptions to the general trend
of sales in other lines.
]. c. Keith of Boston reports his
sales of horses for January through
April to be over 5000 head as
against approximately 1000 head in
1920 for the same months. This
represents a gain of 25fe. He says
that dealers throughout New Eng
land have brisk demand for good
work horses and that sales are con-
siderably increased.
Fiss, Doerr & Carroll of New
York, wire: "Our records show that
for the first FIVE months of this year
we sold 1929 horses as against H.
605 in the same period of last year
Business is gaining. From comments
of buyers we are confident of
increasing demand for good
wagon horses and those suitable for
general delivery work. Demand for
drafters will increase as soon as
conditions pick up. At pres
ent, carriage men are not using their
full equipment"
These figures show a gain of over
22 per cent. Dealers at other East
srn points report greater sales than
asst year, and that many men who
nave not bought horses for six or
Eight years are buying now. With
New York and New England trans
'ortation users finding it profitable
o use horses in city hauling, in spite
# heavy freight rates to get them
here, what should be the position |
f the merchants in the middle west, /
such freight costs to pay?

Great Northern President
Sees Big Year, Northwest
Prospective Crops Along Main Line Means Busy Season
and Large Tonnage For Road-Men Being Put Back
to Work-Oficials Pass On Tour of Inspection

"The Great Northern railway is
preparing for one of the busiest and
most successful seasons known to
the history of the Northwest" Such
is the optimistic statement made by
President R. Budd at Grand Forks
few days ago.
Mr.. Budd said that prospects
throughout the Northwest never were
brighter. He was particularly well
pleased with the excellent crop out
look in all districts along the main
line of his road. This he attributes to
the better conditions under which
seeding was done and to liberal rain
fall that has visited practically all
localities. The Northwestern fruit
crop, he said, was unusually promis-
ing. He said the road would add to
its already excellent refrigerator
in order to handle the
fruit.
Mr.. Budd said that the Great Nor
thern railway now has fully 81 per
cent of its cars at home. When the
government returned the railroads to
private ownership, there was but
per cent of the Great Northern cars
At home. In about years time this
las been increased to 81 per cent.

EXPECT TO SEE
DRILLING IN JULY

1t is reported that the Mosby Con-
solidated oil corporation is taking
leases in the Cottonwood country
with clause binding the lessee to
start drilling ION their holdings" by
July Is next. There is much atten-
ton being given to Cottonwood dis
trict now with reference to oil de-
velopment and it is hoped that the
summer will find drilling in actual
progress. A large acreage has been
leased and the people of that district
feel that the indications must be very
favorable to induce oil companies to
spend their time and money in in
vestigating and taking leases.

the fall wheat crop. Mr.. Budd saic
that the railroad would be ready to
handle bumper wheat crop. Cars
will be ready in sufficient numbers
to handle the crop expeditiously.
Labor is Plentiful
The Great Northern in common
with other roads, has laid off a large
number of men, but in some cases
they now are being returned to work.
There will be no general return, how

Greeley, Fort Collins and Loveland
all wires are down and the towns are
without electric power as the result
of the flooding of the power plant at
Loveland. Between Denver and BouI-
der a large area of farm land is in

SHERIDAN ROUNDUP
MAKING PROGRESS

There is never a dull week in the
exciting program of county affairs
over at Plentywood, and this week
appears to be featured by several
super-specials, as the movie adver-
tisers say. Since the effort to GUST
two of the county commissioners fell
through the show has taken on new
life.
According to reports the first event
of the week was the arrest of Chester
Beisecker of the defunct Sheridan
State Bank for alleged juggling of
bank fluids. Beisecker is said to be
in the county Jail in default of bonds.
Next, it is understood, came the
arrest of the Hon. James F. Red
mond, estwhile auditor of Sheridan
county. 1t is reported that he was
arrested at Poplar Wednesday and
taken to Plentywood to answer char
ges preferrd against him for certain
of his acts as a county official.
Rex NJ Movius, former treasurer
of Sheridan county, is reported ar
rested at st. James, Mimi, and will
be brought to Plentywood as soon as
extradition papers can be had
The old Sheridan county board of
commissioners, one of whom now re-
sides in this copnty, are said to be
under fire, with the cases of large
number Of others yet to develop.

HEAVY DOWNPOUR
BOOST THE CROPS

The local rains that have visited
many localities in this section of the
state were succeeded by big down
pour Wednesday evening and night
that appears to have been general
although some parts received much
more rain than others. The reports
of railroad men indicate that the
rain extended from the mountains to
Williston, N. D.
In Wolf Point and south of here
the rain was exceedingly heavy and
must have approximated two inches
of water, but in some vicinities, no
tably between here and Oswego, and
in the country two or three miles
north of town only moderate show
er fell
In the afternoon, before there
were any marked indications of a
storm here, there was rain east of
here that at a point between Cul-
bertson and Blair was so heavy that
it made the Great Northern's main
line impossible for distance of
several hundred feet. The washout
was promptly repaired and the Ski
doc was the only train much delayed
The rain was of great value to
crops and in some places was much
needed while others had had an
abundance of rain.

PLANS FOR 4TH
CIVIC LEAGUE 4TH COMMITTEE
OUTLINES CELEBRATION
FUN, FEED, FULL DAY

The Civic League women are go
ing to work actively to make the
celebration of the Fourth as great q
success as was Carnival Day last
year. All the plans are not yet
worked out, but they are well under
way. There was meeting Monday
evening at the home of Mrs. j. F.
Cook to discuss matters pertaining to
the program of the day.
Parade in Morning
There will, Of course, be big pa
rade in the morning. Mrs. Frank
Covell is chairman of the parade
committee. Business houses, lodges
and other organizations are invited
to have floats in the parade, and it
is hoped that the Indians will also
take part. Their picturesque cos
tunes have been big feature of
former Fourth of July parades, and
a number of them have expressed
their willingness to participate in the
celebration this year. There is, how
ever, an Indian celebration at Brock
ton this year and some of the In
dians may go there.
Athletic Contests
Following the parade there will be
a program of running and other
races under the supervision of the
Boy Scouts. Rev. Stone, scoutmas-
ter, and Sylvester Smith were pres
ent at the meeting and outlined an
interesting lot of races. A more de-
tailed announcement, together with
a list of prizes, will appear in a later
issue of The Herald.
Then there will be the usual Fourth
of July "eats" to be obtained, hot
dog'' and cool drink stands will be
very much in evidence on that day
Mrs. C. Cook is in charge of arrange
ments for refreshments and the boy
scouts and camp fire girls will con-
duct some of the stands. The money ]
made by the scouts that day will go ;
toward paying the expenses OF
camping trip for the patrol.
Two Ball Games
In the afternoon there will be
program at the Liberty, following
which there will be double-header
ball game at the Westide Park. Mrs.
W. C. Johnson is working up team

Following the ball game the In
lians may stage some of their tribal
Iances, although definite information
las not been received whether they
will or not. In the evening there

The Carnival last year proved such Il
huge success that many people have &c
expressed themselves desirous of II
aving a similar celebration this
ear. It is expected that there will d

ear and probably some Of the other
earby towns will not.

JUST MATTER OF DEDUCTION
As the Boy-ExpIained 1t, the Finding
of Horse Was Really Quite
Simple Matter.

Speaking of the development of the
storytelling talent in youth. Richard

this incident:

of town lost horse. 1t was not
much of a horse. In fact, 1t was blind
in one eye and spawned. But. per-
haps as relic, Bennett says, the
prominent citizen wanted the horse

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest fol
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample b,ttle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
