 Asset To City
 'In Frank McCafferty and Oscar Harri the city gains two new coun- cilmen of the highest standing and they will be fine asset to the new administration. They take the places of Councilmen George and Messer- schmidt, who have given many years of splendid service to the city and whose presence in official civic ac- tivities will be greatly missed.
 Juneau faces prosperous year, and it should be the purpose of all citizens to work together for the up- building of the community on A safe sane and progressive basis The fi- nances of the city are in excellent shape now but I am confident they will be greatly improved during the coming year by practicing real econ- omy."

.264 Get Work
Relief, Grants
July 1St.
Few Seed and Feed Loan
Applications Being
Received

Effects of the drouth in Sheridan
county have made it necessary for the
Resettlement Administration to give
assistance to farmers since July 1, ii
was disclosed here today by Samuel
Sprague, county rehabilitation super
visor.
aid given includes Ga grants and
work relief to 200 since July l.. $50
persons were given work relief prior
to July l. 1885," he said.
Drouth aid available to Sheridan
county farmers includes grants for hu-
man needs, feed loans, seed loans
work relief and assistance in locating
and buying food.
The work program, made possible
through cooperation of the WPA, is
carrying a large part of the load at the
present time. Farmers and farm labor
ers qualified for work on WPA prof.
ects are certified to the WPA by the
rehabilitation supervisor
through the Montana Relief Commits
sion.
Where it is impractical for the far
mer to work on a project he may OBJ
tain an emergency grant for human
needs by applying at the county re-
Mobilization office.
Feed and seed loans also are avail
able through this same source. No
great demand has been made for feed
loans as yet and it is expected that
many farmers of the county will sell
down to small foundation herds and
work stock before they apply for feed
loans.
Only a few seed loans are expected
before the 1887 planting season. A few
may be made in case of fall rains.
These probably will be confined to
small amounts of seed for winter
grain crops to be used for fall grazing.
Where feed is needed, farmers may
order through the county rehabilita-
ton office by making cash deposits.
These orders will be sent to the feed
purchasing office in Kansas City, Mo,
and the feed shipped, in carload lots,
direct from the nearest source to the
county. Local dealers will cooperate
in distributing the feed.
The county supervisor emphasized
that any farmer needing drouth aid
may obtain all details and make his
application at the rehabilitation office.
This Office is located in Plentywood at
the relief office,
"The Resettlement Administration
has cleared the decks ard is prepared
to push through loans, grants, work
certifications and other types of aid
Just as rapidly as possible" said Sam
lel Sprague.
