How Cannon Are Spiked

In former times when the old
fashioned type of cannon was used
the guns We're disabled by driving al
iron spike into the opening at the
breech through which fire was com
municated to the powder. This was
called "spiking" the cannon. 1t was
done when it was lecessary to leave
the guns behind, to prevent their i'm
mediate use by the enemy, Such dis
ablement was usually only temporary.
The phrase, however, is retained in
modern military usage. Spiking a
cannon nowadays means breaking or
carrying away part of the breech
mechanism, making it impossible to
use the gun without considerable re-
aair.-EXhange.

FINDS PROSPERITY

prosperity is much more ev-
ident here than in Oregon, Ida
no and Washington" says Miss
Virginia Nesbit, new member
of The Herald staff, who ar
rived in Wolf Point Sunday
morning, coming from Corval-
lis, Oregon, along the Great
Northern route. "The Montana
ranches observed from the train
seemed to be much larger and
better than those of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. In Ida
no the ranches along the track
were small, sterile and i'll kept,
with the families living in dug
outs in the sides of hills, and
often dug straight into the
the ground with a hole in the
top as a means of entrance.
"The Willamette Valley sec
ton of Oregon, where | lived"
says Miss Nesbit, suffered from
industrial depression during
the past winter. One letter re-
ceived from a prominent bust
ness firm in Portland, written
the early part of March, stated
that Portland, which is the lead
ing metropolis of Oregon, was
dead from a business stand
point. Unemployment was
common during the winter and
there was hardly a day that a
number of cases of families
where the bread earners were
out of work, did not come to
public attention.
From early observations the
country weeklies of Montana
seem to be on a much higher
par than those of Oregon and
| believe on a sounder basis.
The percentage of advertising
is greater. Contrary to popu-
lar ideas along the Pacific
coast, prices here are no higher
than there. The per capita
ownership of cars seems to be
greater here than in Oregon.
I presume this is due to the
greater distances to be travelled
here"

GOVERNMENT JOB

A news item dated at Poplar says
that Harry A. Morley, who is at pres

ton left vacant by Jack Ginther, as
property clerk at the Fort Peck In
dian agency at Poplar.
Mr.. Morley was in the government
service previous to the ~WorId War
but resigned to enlist in the military
forces of his country.
Announcement of the appointment
to fill Mr.. Morley's place in the court

remain until Mr.. Forbes has entirely

STILL GREATER
CORN ACREAGE IN 1925

1t is gratifying to learn this year
that there will be an increase in
corn acreage in Roosevelt county
rather than any reduction in that
crop which means that the county
is going to continue to go forward
IN its program of balanced and stab
ilized production. The farmers of
Roosevelt county during the corn
acreage campaign conducted the past
few years only increased the corn
acreage to the livestock feed require
ments, using as their slogan "Raise
all the corn that you can market on
the hoof." Which has resulted in an
increased production of hogs as we'll
as other forms of livestock, including
sheep and cattle. With the increas-
ed demands of this livestock, espec-
tally hogs which has been unusually
great during the past few years, corn
acreage will increase in like proper
ton. This year Roosevelt county
will experience its largest hog pro
d~uction in its history which will mean
that the corn acreage will be the
largest in it's history and will be
marketed very satisfactorily because
hogs are reaching the peak in prices.
The fact that corr leads to a more
balanced income which is resultant
of an efficient feed crop is one graft
flying aspect towards the increased
corr acreage in the county and which
means that Roosevelt county will
never return to the specialized and
oft-time disastrous hazards of the
n crop specialized farming.
Many farmers of Roosevelt county
are convinced that corn and it's live
stock products are more profitable
than wheat farming over a period of
years and many more are convinced
that corr land preparation is a very
efficient step in wheat production
especially where the corr can be
marketed with little labor require
ments in ten-cent porkers.

SIDNEY BABY YOUNGEST
TO FLY IN AN AIRPLANE

Being probably the youngest of
human beings to ride in an airplane
little Miss Ingelbur Braasten, Tues
day, took her first ride at the age of
eleven days. She is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Braasten. She
was born on Friday, March 10, 1925.
Eleven days later she was seeking
the thrills of the air.
Being discharged from the Deacon
ness hospital the mother and baby
were ready to go back to their ranch
home across the river and Mr.. Braas-
ten came to town for them. After
his arrival the river went out, the
ice was jammed at the island, and
the water was backed up until the
old Yellowstone looked like the Mis-
sissippi. There was no chance to
get across the stream unless a flight
was made.
Mr.. Braasten went to Aviator Earl
Vance with his troubles and Mr..
Vance assured him that he would
shortly land the whole family on the
other side, a distance of several miles
from Sidney. The takeoff from the
local landing field was made at eX-
actly 5 :43. The landing at the Cook
ranch was made at exactly 5:49.
The plane was on the ground in both
instances when the time was taken. A
period Of six short minutes vas used
up in the going trip.-The Sidney

u the research department of the
Vitagraph was busy checking scenes
and obtaining information and des-
criptions of the buildings and towns
of the days of 40 for use in "Pioneer

The Burnt Boot saloon in the pic
lure is an exact replica of the famous
Gel Dorado" a saloon and gambling
den of the forties and fifties. The
street scenes were made in a town
built to duplicate in every detail the
manner of construction of those days.
The NANCY road with its pineboard
dwellings caused many old timers to
marvel at the exactness of the re-
production.
David Smith, who directed the pic
ture insisted that every detail be cor
rect before he began filming the pic
ture.
He spared no expense in the build
ing of the city and furnishing of the
interiors of the structures with fur
niture and knickknacks in vogue dur
ing that period portrayed. Consid-
cradle difficulty was met with in OBJ
tanning these relics and many items
were purchased at almost prohibitive
prices because of their rarity.
Actors and actresses used in the
scenes were chosen because of their
resemblance to types found in that
period.
