Sidney Men Visit
State Legislature

Matters of Importance to this area
were worked on in Helena last week
by Chamber of Commerce Secretary
Manager Dan Price and William Buch-
hoz of the Lalonde hotel. Buchholz
represents the Montana Hotel associa-
ton and the Montana Taxpayers as
ISOLATION and attended a meeting of
the group. Price visited with various
members in the Montana Highway De-
partment, the Montana National Guard
and attended a meeting of the Mon
tana Citizens Freight Rate ~associa-
ton.
According to both men, Helena is a
busy place with the Legislature being
a regular beehive. Senator Nutter and
Representative Sax discussed several
bills with the Sidney men, such as,
those relating to Armory Construction,
Highway Financing, Education, a feed
ing program for the Experiment sta
ton and several others.
A half-hour was spent in visiting
with Governor Hugo AronSon discus
sing some of the more important leg
islative musts to this area and the
State. Letters being received by the
governor complimenting him on the
Otis Waters reappointment. are all be-
ing appreciated.
While the legislature is always fac
ed with the financing problem, Il
seemed that there was a general feel
ing that financing for Montana high
ways looked good. The same situation
applies to the education situation.
According to Price and Bdchholz, j
was most interesting to discuss the
education program with legislators o.
both political parties, Gov ernor Aron-
son, Mary Condor and others, especi'
ally in view of SO much publicity re.
garding the matter. All arc in favor o.
a good education program for Mon
tana children and including state
funds to equalize the foundation pro
gram for Montana schools. and
good program is expected from thu
session.
State funds required to equalize the
foundation program were estimated a

Eagles Win Three In Big l6 Play;
Plan Trip To Dickinson Saturday

The Sidney Eagles started a
winning streak last week end
that has extended to three games.
Friday night the Scotties from
Glasgow felt the sting of the To-
Gals scoring as they suffered their
second defeat of the season 53-42.
On Saturday the Havre Blue Po-
MES kept pace in a low scoring lst
period and then lost plenty of
ground to lose 1880.
Then on Tuesday of this week
in a rough and tumble affair at
Miles City, Sidney came out on
top $3.50.
This gives the locals an 8-3
record for league play and an
overall record for the season of
1877.
They now hold ~undisputed 4th
place in the Big Is and second
in the Southern Division. Missoula
continues as the leader followed
by Glasgow and Livingston.
The Eagles have one montague
game remaining on their schedule.
This week end they travel to
Dickinson, N. D. Saturday for q
return encounter with the school
and February 25 they will be al
home for their final regular
scheduled game of the season
against Miles City. Then ths
Southern Divisional at Anaconda

next stop.
Tickets for the divisional car
be obtained at the Sidney higH

of trouble this week end wheI
they tackle the Midgets at Dick

These two clubs met in Sidney
last November in each ones init.
ial game of the season. Sidney haC
little trouble winning 71-54.
Since that time Dickinson hasn'
