Chinook Opinion: Professors At
kinson and Nelson of the State Agri-
cultural college of Bozeman, were
here last Friday looking into tie al
falfa seed situation here. They stated
that they had numerous inquiries as
to reliable alfalfa seed and as the
Blaine county seed had proven the
most satisfactory were DESTROYS of
finding out how much of a supply of
good clean seed could be obtained
here. Prof. Atkinson told Of several
parties that were coming here to
Blaine county to try to secure seed
because of its superior quality and
declared that the seed growers here
would find it to their interest to take
care with getting their alfalfa fields
clean of weeds in order to keep up
the reputation the seed from this sec.
ton has already obtained.

For City improvements

There vas a large attendance of
business men and other local resi-
dents at a meeting of the Commercial
club Monday evening, at which the
subject of city improvements was
again discussed. Attorney F. E. Stran.
ahan was chairman of the meeting,
and opened the proceedings with a
brief address in which the importance
and benefit of the proposed work were
presented in a convincing manner
A. L. Jacqueth, the Kalispell civil
engineer who has had charge of i'm
provement work in several Montana
towns, gave an interesting description
of proposed plans for similar work in
this city. Mr.. Jacqueth's remarks
were illustrated by maps of portions
of the townsite that could be designat.
ed as special improvement districts,
and by plans for a sewerage system
that would not be so large and ex.
pensive as the scheme originally pro-
posed. The improvement work con.
templated grading, matchmaking and
b~oulevarding several of the streets,
and otherwise adding to their attract.
tive appearance.
There was a general discussion of
Mr.. J~acqueth's plans, during which
the citizens present acquired valuable
information regarding the cost of al
ious kinds of street improvements,
and what has been accomplished by
other Montana municipalities. The
matter was finally put to a vote of
the meeting, and without committing
themselves definitely to any of the
propositions presented by Mr.. JAG.
queth, it was the unanimous opinion
of those present that the work of city
improvements should be undertaken
at the earliest possible date.
In order to ecure action In the mat
ter by the municipal authorities the
meeting selected a committee consist
ing of F. E. %Stranahan, F. A. Flanagan,
Frank Merger, ]. J. McGraw, A. E.
McLeish and ]. o. Patterson, to pre-.
pare the necessary data and inter
view the city council at its next meet.
ing. The committee desires and
should receive the cooperation of all
their fellow citizens in pushing along
the work of city improvements on
plans that will be for the benefit of
the whole community. BY attending
to necessary preliminaries at this
time, it is hoped active work on the
proposed Improvements will be in pro-
gress next season.
