ROOSEVELT YOUTH
WILL HAVE HOGS IN
TON LITTER CLASS

~ OOSEVELT county, through its
K pig club, Is developing some
genuine hog growers, as indi-
Gated from the observations and re-
ports recently made by some of the
boys whose pigs were few days ago
inspected and judged. II is possible
that some of these boys will have
pigs that will come up to the ton
litter class at the expiration of 1870
days, which is the time limit.
Eldon Picard. who lives north of
Bainville, and Cecil Nordman, living
east of Froid, have filters that I'M
doubtedly will be in this class. The
latter boy has a registered Duroc
SOW with IL pigs almost four
months old, with a gain of pound
a day up to that age, and with a re-
cord of all feed that has been con-
sumed. He is one of the outstand-
ing boys In the club and the results
Of his project would be hard to dup
licate by any experienced breeder.
Eldon Picard is IL years old and
in addition to his successfully rails
ing 10 hogs from his litter, has been
in charge of and the manager of IA
otitI HUGS on MS ldLueT ldTIl. FL
don takes care of those "a hogs, wa
tiers, feeds the best of rations, has a
five-acre sweet clover pasture and
keeps record on his production, all
of which is necessary in successfully
raising hogs.
In addition to taking care of
those 81 hogs he is the corn farmer
for his father and cultivates practi-
cally all of his fathers corn acre
age. While he is raising grade hogs
this year, he is much interested in
his project and states that next
year he is going to increase the
quality of his hogs and is assisting
his father in keeping over a good
supply of breeding stock.
Other boys who are in the pig
club in the east end of the county,
but who did not have as large litters
as those two boys, but deserve much
credit for the manner in which they
have been conducting their projects
are: Donald Hordman. Melvin Ham
son, Albert L. Smith, Delmar Lesson,
Loren Piercy, Ejenr Olson and
Ralph Bjorgo.

TN THE early days in Montana
| justice was meted out to offend
ers against the law by the citi-
zens who rose in their might and
majesty and compelled obedience to
the statutes; or, rather, pronounced
sentence and executed it without
sanction of the courts of law.
Judge Lynch was supreme and his
rulings arbitrary. There was no
appeal from his decision and woe
be to him whom he pronounced
against.
The citizens who took the law
into their hands in those days
were known as vigilantes, and,
far from being composed of cut
threats, were generally the fore
most citizens and the most sub
stantial men of the new country.
The road agents, cattle rustlers and
sluice-box thieves of the early days
made the vigilante necessity. The
newness of the country and the
lack of Jail and prison facilities
made their mode of procedure nee
essary in many instances.

military commands of some of the
original thirteen colonies marched
past the structure down Chestnut
street.
Nestled in between skyscrapers at
the head of its own narrow alley,
the dainty bit of revolutionary ar
chitecture was later the scene of the
reenactment of the session in which
Patrick Henry called upon the de-
legates to lay aside the distinctions
of their several colonies and become
known as Americans"
President Coolidge, represented by
United States Senator George Whar-
ton Pepper, was formally made an
honorary member of the quaint or
ganiation. George Kessler, presi-
dent of the Carpenters company, in
presenting the certificate of MEM
bership, emphasized that 1t was the
first time that an outsider had been

power system a great waterfall races
down the steep rocky slopes of the
West Rosebud canyon with several
sheer drop until 1t reaches the Rose
bud river a few hundred feet below,
the channel of which for thousands
of years has borne the waters OF the
Mystic Falls, one of the most beau
tiful cataracts In the Rocky noun
tain area.
Great Column Heaves First.
The carload of dynamite placed
where 1t would tear out the last re-
naming rock and make a new out
let for the waters, connecting the lake
with the six-foot tunnel which is to
be. the future outlet of the lake, was
electrically exploded. A push OF
the button and great column OF
water arose several hudred feet i'm
to the air, followed Immediately by
all the other phenomena of the ex-
plosion. The blast was successful
in every detail, from an engineering
point of view and marks the compile
ton OF the first step In an engineer
ing feat which has been duplicated
only twice in the history Of such OPP
erations.
The level Of the lake at once COM
menced to recede From the out
let OF the 1,000-foot tunnel, a pipe
will carry the water for 5000 feet
down the side Of the mountain with
about a four-per cent drop. At the
terminus Of this steel pipe with al
most sheer drop OF 100 feet will
take the water to the power plant.
The incline tram railway which as
cends the side of the mountain for
100 feet at forty-fiYe per cent
grade, proved an interesting feature
to visitors at the scene. Another
short rail line skirts the lake 1000
feet above the water for two miles,
the grades having ben hewn from
solid rock. The company expects to
have this new plant In full operation
shortly after the first OF the year.

A CONFUSION on so grand a
IN scale as to embrace In 1t
4 \ enough features Of miniature
catyclasm is the description OF the
spectators to the blowing in of the
tunnel into the bed of Mystic lake,
to tap the waters for the operation
of the Montana Power cofnpany's
new hydro-electric plant in the Bear
tooth mountains of Saltwater county.
and which took place recently. The
work necessitated the use of $4,000
pounds of specially prepared dyna-
mite.
Like geyser, the lake waters
shot hundreds Of feet in the air, says
one spectator. There was a roar OF
many thunders reverberating down
the canyon. Then, there mush-
roomed into the air vast shower OF
rocks and mud which sent scattering
such of the beholders who had failed
to seek safety higher up in the noun
tains.
Water Rushes Down Tunnel.
With the recession OF the explos-
i've force, the waters of the lake
turned to great maelstrom-a
pit--and then rushed together
again in tidal waves of from six to
eight feet in height, that rolled in
and pounded and swept the shores.
All this within the space Of few
seconds.
Then the waters started to rush
down the tunnel built with two years
Of labor and the expenditure OF So
100000. They will rush and tumble
and roar on until the level of the
lake is reduced forty feet, at which
time the level Of the tunnel viii have
been reached, and the engineers will
be able to build the bulkheads and
other devices OF hydro-engineerinG
to control the flow. After that the
level of the lake Is expected to rise
forty-five feet.
Meanwhile. through the tunnel and
the unfinished waterways OF the
