Ored lights at the intersections,
crossed from corner to corner. The
natural thing is to arrange the strands
with a red globe, then white, then
blue. Looked at as single unit at
close range the effect is not bad, but
as the general view is of several
blocks, having all the lights at one
intersection red, at the next white,
and the next blue, gives an almost in
credibly finer effect.

IRRIGATION PROJECT PLANNED
Hunters Swarm to Pheasant
Haunts; Few Birds are Gotten

Equipped with shotguns, 22's,
sling shots, blunderbusses, rifles,
Lewis machine guns and every
thing else that would shoot, these
hunters hied themselves forth as
early as the law would permit.
The hunters nearly all imagined
they could get their bag limit in
a few minutes time, and then
turn their attention to a few Hun
garian "cannon-ball" pheasants,
but W. doubt if there was one out
the hundred who went out from
this community that day who
got their limit of three Chinese
p%heasants and two Hungarians.
They learned that altho those
birds have never been molested
here by real sportsmen, that the
birds were mighty willy and eas-
lily escaped most of the shots aim
ed at them.
On Monday most of the hunt
ers who had any clothing left af-
ter Sundays experience in buck
brush and rose bush thickets, re-
newed the war but used repeat
r. and the bigger the guage the
better. One man whose name we
will not mention, borrowed some
buckskin trousers and unearthed
an old time eight guage goose
gun and sailed forth to win a
bet that he would get a bag linn
it. He paid the bet and also paid
for the buckskin pants.
With each day of the five day
season passing, we hear occas-
ional reports of someone being
lucky enough to get two pleas
ants, but not one has reported a
bag limit yet.
From now on these birds will
be as shy and u~nreachable as a
star on a cloudy night. But we
vill listen to- many new and Won
.ierful tales of hunting, and
what Wrappers some of them
will be.

R0LVAAG, ritter
DIES At MORTIFIED
Wrote Many Books About
Dakotas; Many Former
Students Live Here

Fargo-O. e. Rolvaag, SIS,
author of Giants in the Earth
and other novels, once a school
teacher at Churchs Ferry, N. d.,
died at his home in Mortified.
MIMI, Thursday following a heart
attack, according to an Associat-
ed Press dispatch.
For 20 years a professor at st. Oh
af college, Rolvaag had gained inter-
national fame as a writer.
Although the setting of his best
known work, Giants in the Earth"
is in South Dakota among Norwegian
immigrants, Mr.. Rolvaag's indelible
impressions of the prairie were re-
ceived, while he taught and worked
mean Churchs Ferry in 1904.
While at st. Olaf IN 1926, he was
decorated as a knight of st. Olaf by
order of King Haakon of Norway. His
novels, written in Norwegian or
northwest themes, are 'best sellers"
not only in the United States but also
in Norway.
He came to America as a boy from
Rolvaag, Helgeland, Norway, where
he vas born April %, 1876. After
completing his education at st. Olaf
he joined the faculty.
In 1916 he became head of the de-
partment of Norwegian there, a po-
sition he held until he retired August
81, 1881, to Tread and write a great
deal"
Born on the fringe of the Arctic
circle, Rolvaag early became dissat-
isfied with the meager living his
countrymen CLEANED from fishing.
Because of his restless desire for ad-
venture, he migrated to America. He
arrived at Elk Point, S. d., in the
nineties, but his efforts to obtain
work did not meet with much sue
cess.
Rolvaag was not satisfied working
at manual labor. He entered Angus
tana academy at Canton, S. D., and
completed his work there in 1901. In
the fall of the same year he went to
st. Olaf college. Four years later he
graduated with honors.
With the exception of one year
spent in postgraduate work at Oslo
university Norway, he had been 8
member of the faculty at his alma
mater since his graduation.
Surviving are his widow, a son, Fri
jof, and a daughter Ella, both stud
ents at st. Olaf.
There r o of people in Sher-
idan county who studied under Prof
Rolvaag. Amongst those in Plenty
wood we can mention Miss Arna Njaa
Rev. O. M. Simundson and Oscar Eos

Muddy
Flat May Be
Territory
Sugar Beet Raising in Valley
From Daleview to Gull
bertson Is Aim

Senator Schnitzler called at
the Herald office last Saturday
and during the course of our on
versation he told us that only a
few days previous he had the pri-
vilege of showing an engineer of
the L. S. Reclamation Survey the
possibilities of irrigation in the
territory west of Medicine Lake
and the Muddy valley as far
north as the Antelope territory,
it would extend to the Homestead,
Froid and Culbertson territory on
the south.
The reclamation engineer told him
the federal government had long rec
ognized the possibilities of making
tn Muddy valley another sugar beet
district of this state. The proposition
under consideration is that of placing
bikes across the outlet of Medicine
Lake, and raising the water in that
lake several feet. The proposition al
so includes the possibility CT divert
ing the water in the Big Muddy river
into Medicine Lake to hurry the rails
ing of the water level there. The plan
is 10 raise the water in the lake five
feet at this time, but it can be raised
81 feet is the claim.
1t is highly probable this matter
will come up before Congress this
coming session, and if approved it
will mean early action on this project
with work for hundreds of people in
this part of Montana.
Senator Schnitzler has promised us
further details of this huge undertake
ing and same will be given publicity
through the Herald.
Is Huge Project
1t is hard to realize the significance
of such a huge improvement in oul
county, or the possibilities of the pc
tential wealth and prosperity which
will accrue to the farmers who engage
in raising sugar beets and truck
crops. The sugar beets would be ship.
ped to the factory at Sidney until the
project was sufficiently large to war
rant the building of a sugar factory.
The approval of this project viii
mean an immediate boom in land ant
property values throughout this ter
ritory. 1t is quite possible if this i:
approved that the irrigation could ex.
tend into the Muddy valley in tn,
Plentywood and Redstone vicinity al
so.
There will he further details o.
this project published as we Obtain
the facts, and our readers are urget
to watch for further particulars in the
Herald.

Third Test Hole for Center
Pier Now Being
Bored

CULBERTSON, Nov. 9.
Steady progress is being made by
the drilling crew at the river, at
the site. of the Missouri river
bridge. Holes are being drilled to
test the foundation for the center
pier.
A foot bridge has been constructed
across the first channel of the river
to the sandbar at a point that marks
the center of the big bridge. Work
men are now drilling their second
hole to be followed by another, max
ing a three-hole test for the center
support. Surveying crews have com
pleted their work, but it is expected
that the work of drilling will require
another month.
The first casualty among the
bridge workers occurred when E. 0.
S~peigelberg of C~ulbertson, employed
with the drillers got three fingers OF
his left hand mangled. His hand was
caught with the rope around one OF
the pulleys used to hoist the drill
rods. The tips of two of his fingers
were crushed and the middle finger
taken off at the first joint. The en-
CINE, used as power for drilling, was
lifted from its platform when the
rods reached the top of the hoist, anc
had not Spiegelberg wrenched hi.

RED CROSS SHIP IN
FOR NEEDY

Shipments of Red Cross cloth
ing are commencing to arrive in
Sheridan county. On Monday sew
eral huge boxes of clothing ar
rived from Billings, and Wednes-
day another large shipment came
from Kalispell. Outfits are as
sorted for individuals, and are as
nearly complete as possible.
A group of ladies working with
Mrs. A. C. Erickson are filling the
orders as fast as possible, and it is
believed that in the course of the
next two weeks most everyone's wants
will be filled.
We understand that some of our
churches will receive large shipments
of clothing and shoes from other To-
calities where drought conditions dc
not exist. These donations will be dis
tributed az soon as possible and will
be done through the supervision of
members of the church.

SEAL DRIVE

Superintendent Stegner APP.
pointed Head Of Campaign
for Plentywood.

The appointment of Supt. w.

Christmas seal sale in PlentywoOd
is announced by the Montana Tu-
bercul0sis Association which is

ing campaign
1.-THE 1881 seal sale deserves the
support of every man and woman in
the community, and even the children
can help by contributing their pen
nies," sail Ma. Stegner in comment
ing upon TIL campaign.
Because tuberculosis and other
diseases attack more readily in times
of want and distress, the Christmas
seal, which conducts the mi
campaign against tuberculosis, needs
help this year more than ever. 1t is
my hope that people will give liber.
ally even though it means some sell
denial. A deprivation of some small
luxury or simple recreation will make
it possible to raise the amount nee
essary to carry on tn anti-tubercul-
osis program.

know all they can about healthfu.

COUNTY QUOTA is
NEARING THE TOP

The Red Cross drive for funds
in Sheridan county is advancing
towards the point where the
workers can look across the top
of the hill of success. Slowly but
surely they are attaining their
goal of $1,000, which is the quota
set for this county this year.
More than $1,000 has now been
paid or pledged to be paid in the i'm
mediate future. Some people believed
no n would have to contribute more
than 81 each. 1t is true, these contri-
buttons are not compulsory with any
one, but they can give as much as
they can possibly spare. Even some
who are being supported by the Red
Gross have dug up from one to five
dollars each.
Archer can feel proud of its share
in this battle. We all know that Ar
cher is rather a small village, but one
mar from Archer came to the Coun-
" hSdtIudi tSio III L itlllS WUOu ItteIl-
ly and pledged S25, with a promise of
more if needed.
Other little towns and communities
in the county will not permit them
selves to be so completely bested by
Archer, and are buckling on their
fighting belt to gather in enough con-
tributions to hold their own.
If the list of donors are published
it will surprise many of u residents
to see the names of some who have
donated to this humanitarian cause
with such liberality, considering their
circumstances.
We hope that it will not be long
before Sheridan county can be listed
with the other counties of the state
which have met their quota.
