OILING WORK
EXPANDED ON
CITY STREETS
Additional Projects Are Being
Paid for by Property
Owners.

Extension of the original nine
block Glasgow street oiling project
to include an additional six blocks
has been done at the request of
property owners in the new areas,
who are contributing money for the
work, it was stated today by Mayor
E. j. Kjelstrup.
The original work was on streets
and avenues fronting the court
house and civic center and connect
ing them. New work includes Third
street south between Fourth and
Fifth avenues, Fifth avenue south
from Third street east to the Dea-
coness hospital and Second avenue
south between Seventh and Eighth
streets.
1t is also probable that Seventh
street north between First and
Fourth avenues will be oiled, he
said. District school trustees al
ready have agreed to pay for the
portion in front of the high school
building.
The work is being done by the
Inland Construction company.
Streets already oiled will be cured
for several weeks. Then a seal coat
and surface of rock chips will be
applied.
The council, which recently pur-
chased the necessary pipe, has also
called for bids for replacing 2,700
feet of water main on the north
side. Bids will be opened Aug. 81.

CHAMBER TO
WIDEN BASE
OF MEMBERS
Membership and Finance Drive
Will Be Opened Here
August 9th.
Committee of Forty Headed by
Friedlund Will Cover
Glasgow Area.

A campaign to broaden the base
Of membership in the Glasgow
Chamber of Commerce to include
more local residents who benefit
from its activities will open Aug. 6
AT the same time, President E. D
Benson said today, the drive will
have as its purpose putting the
Chamber on a 'pay-aS-you-go" fl
nancial basis so that it may be OPP
Grated by budget.
President Benson has appointed a
special committee under the chair
manship of A. B. Friedlund to OPP
crate with the directors in plans
The committee. composed of Leo
Hoffman, H. j. Friedl, Paul j.
Campbell, E. T. Gallagher and ]. P.
Sternhagen, will be enlarged to 40
members to make contact with all
present and prospective members.
The campaign is especially neces-
Sary at this time because of the ex-
ira expense that war effort activi-
ties have thrown on the budget
President Benson said. THE Cham
Der has also suffered some loss in
membership because of moves to
other towns or deaths"
Supplementing this statement,
Chairman Friedlund added that
membership will not be confined to
those who are in strictly CONNER
cial pursuits, because Chamber &C
Invites include a broad program, de-
voted not only to business purposes
but to the benefit of the entire
community and area. Anyone who
approves and believes in support of
such work is eligible for member
ship, he said.
The committee will solicit men,
berships OF an individual basis at
S12 a year, as well as sustaining and
business firm memberships.
Another aim of the campaign is
to eliminate a number of the special
drives" for funds carried on among
business men, as well as to balance
the budget for the coming year.

WILLING TO
RAISE MORE
Set Goals at $500 to $500
Acres for Next Season at
Meeting Here.

Valley county beetgrowers are
willing to raise from $500 to $500
acres of sugar beets in 1914, it was
determined at a meeting in the
courthouse here Friday afternoon
to set preliminary goals for next
year.
The figures are in contrast with a
seeded acreage of LOO this year, of
which about 300 acres have been
abandoned because of the unusually
moist season or through lack of
labor.
The meeting also brought the dis
closure from officials of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company that seq
mented seed will be used exclusively
in Valley county next year. This
will allow the elimination of much
hand blocking and thinning, with
the substitution of mechanical OPP
erations thus reducing the labor
requirement about one-third.
1t was also pointed out that the
WPB has made an allowance to
increase production of farm mach
inery by 80 percent next year. Eff
forts have already started to bring
in mechanical toppers and leaders
for the 1914 harvest season.

$50 200 Men for

Needed in County

A need for from $50 10 200 har-
vest hands to start work within the
next two weeks for a 30-day period
was forecast today by County Agent
James K. McGibney in his weekly
crop report. There is now a short
age of hay hands, he said, and there
will be a need for at least So custom
combines in the county.
The small grain harvest will start
In the southern section of the
county in the next two weeks and in
the northern section in the next
three weeks. All small grain is
standing we'll and apparently will
have a high yield, he said. Most Of
the small grain is not excessively
long-strawed.
Sugar beetS + making rapid
growth. Some rust is appearing on
Bison flax, while there is evidence Of
sawflies in wheat in some localities.
Noticeable damage to gardens in
the Glasgow and Fort Peck areas
by grasshoppers was noted by the
agent. There are also numerous hop
pers in the alfalfa fields of the il
valley, but apparently they
are doing no damage.
