New Public Airport
For District Sought
Under Senate Bill

A new public airport would be
built and operated in or near the
District by the Civil Aeronautics
Administration under a bill intro
duced in the Senate by Senator
johnson, Democrat, of Colorado.
The new airport would relieve
congestion of traffic at Washington
National Airport and would be an
auxiliary to the big landing field.
No definite location was listed in
the bill.
The johnson bill made no esti-
mate of the cost of the airport, but
such a big new field is expected to
cost several million dollars.
Referred to Johnson's Committee.
The measure, which was referred
to the Senate Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee, of which
Senator johnson is chairman-des-
ignate, is understood to have been
developed by the Civil Aeronautics
Administration as result of
studies made of the needs here.
Senator johnson said he had re-
ceived the proposal from the CAA
and was GLAD to introduce the
measure. He promised it would get
early consideration by the aviation
subcommittee of mis- unit.
Virginia Site Considered.
One of the sites under consider
alton is known to be in the vicinity
of Annandale, Va, about 10 miles
southwest of Washington National
Airport, but no final decision has
yet been reached. No area of suffi-
cient size inside the District is
available.
The need for another public air.
port here has been under study for
long time by the CAA and other
agencies.
Broad authority would be given
the CAA by the johnson bill to Sc
lect the site IN or near the District,

Mann, assistant superintendent, to
the 10 high growers and the high
sugar producer.
D. j. Roach of Denver, eXecu-
tive vice president of the Great
Westrn Sugar company was the
principal speaker. He said that
although some thought at the
beginning of the season the price
for beets might be as low as
$3.50 per ton, the growers of
the 1948 crop have already re-
$12.03, with fair prospect
81, or more than S13 per ton.
The growers quandry in the
of '48 was caused by a
change-over from the former
guaranteed price to an indefinite
price that would be set by the
price of refined sugar.

The method is relatively new,

He spoke of it as a tool, and

Laurel Woman's club met with
officials of the state highway
commission and of the Northern
Pacific to form plans for land
scaping and identifying all four
entrances to Laurel and the high
way running through the city.

laid aside for a more fitting
time for such a project. Now
after almost eight years the
Laurel Woman's club, aided by

ity Garden club and city council,

win, representing the Unity Gar
den club, met at 4:30 Monday
afternoon of this week to dis
cuss a method of procedure with
Mayor Thomson and Lester Dahl,
Northern Pacific roadmaster.
The project for this year will
involve preparing ground and
planting the area on the north
side of the First avenue under
pass, to connect on the east with
the grassed plot of the CONNER
cial club building and continuing
east to the N. P. depot to con-
meet with the work already start
ed there by Dahl.
Letters were written this week
to R. ]. Ephland, district engin-

sion, for information regarding
easements along the highway and
for assistance from the highway
department, and to R. w. Davis,

from the railway company.
Representatives from the land
scaping committee presented their
project to the city council at the
latter's meeting Feb. Is. Coun-
cilmen readily agreed to give the
committee any assistance prac-
ticable to complete the project.

The 10 growers with highest
Yields in the Great Western
Sugar company's Billings factory
district, and a number of others
with highest yields at eight in
dividual stations in the district,
were honored by the company at
a dinner Feb. 10 in the Northern
hotel ball at Billings.
Among the many guests were
those outstanding in beet produc-
ton, together with representa-
tives of various departments of
community business, banking and
the press, and high ranking To-
cal and general officers of the
company.
The 10 high producers were
Walter Kinsfather, Hesper; John
Weigand, Yegen; William and
Fred Rauchle, Knox; Clarence
Engle, Hysham; Henry Amen,
Jr., Hesper; Connie Fink, Maud
ru; Harry Staley, Yegen; Al

circuit believes that an accur-
ate check on livestock losses can
not be made until early May.
There is a known loss of IT'S
sheep on four ranches in Carter
and Powder River counties. Most
losses of cattle are reported
among calves. Heaviest losses
are expected in March and April.
Meanwhile south central Mon
tana counties are experiencing
almost equal difficulty in getting
out hay supplies for shipment
to eastern Montana. Thousands
Of tons of hay are snowbound in
fields in Park, Meagher and
Gallatin counties. While much
of this hay has been sold and
will be shipped as soon as pos
sible, it will still be some two
weeks before it can reach hungry
stock in eastern Montana.
Only 2O,150 tons of hay was
listed for sale in these counties
last week, and an estimated 1000
tons were sold during the week.
Il is anticipated that most of
this hay will be gone by March
1. Needed hay must be moved
before thawing weather occurs
since it cannot be moved during
high water and deep mud.
Supplies of range pellets are
continuing good, but cottonseed
and soybean cake is very short.
Weakened livestock will have to
be fed heavily during March and
at least part of April. Spring
losses will be geatly reduced by
supplies of feed being moved
now.
