City Council News
BY Harold Mercer

Another casulty hit the ranks
of the city council with the resig-
nation of Ed Erickson. This makes
one = half of the council which
has resigned in the past year-and-
a-half. First it was Virgil Ramus
and then George Olson and now
Ed. Henning Hanson was appoint
ed to fill out the remainder of
Mr.. Erickson's term.
The police report showed that
only $7l.50 was taken in fines
this past month. There were three
animals destroyed, IL parking
tickets and two bikes taken which
were recovered.
Koke Eckley appeared before
the council in connection with
the TV ordinance which resulted
in much discussion as to the in
depreciation of several sections of
the ordinance.
Five building permits were read
and about 25 TV permits were
approved. One was tabled until
further study could be made by
the council.
1t was noted by the treasurer's
report that funds of several de-
partments were rather low and
steps were taken to correct this
as the money for the rest of this
years operation does not come
in until the first part of De-
cember.
1t was decided that a purchase
order system should be started
with the department heads and
the committee chairman respon-
sible for the issuing of purchase
orders.
With no other business to come
before the council the meeting
was brought to a close at 1000.

tional and interesting.
Mrs. Jimpsie Miller explained

schools of the students. Our files
have a complete record of scholas-
tic standing, health and informa-
ton charts on interests of each

to better understand the students.
These records start when the stu

through the 18th grade. The rec

Team 3 Leads
Early kiwanis
Apple Sales

According to the official re-
turns, from Gus Fjeldstad's XII
wants Apple Sales Headquarters,
Team No. 3, headed by Dick Tip
petit and Lane Potter, has a slight
edge over George Thomas and
Jack Crosgrove's Team No. 4 in
the youth benefit apple sales con-
test. Math Dasinger and Dean
Beck's Team No. 2 are far be-
hind in third place while Bill
Buchholz and Harold Lorenz's
Team No. / is still in low gear,
having hardly scratched the apple
market.
The only salesman in the "over
100 box" classification is Presi-
dent Rex Smelser who has COM
pleted 116 sales and is out "beat-
ing the brush" to go over the 200
mark before the campaign ends.
Apple sales chairman, Al Johns
has spent many a sleepless night
trying to devise some scheme TO
inject more enthusiasm into all
Of the apple statesmen. 1t may be
that a large number of sales have
not been turned into Gus's office
- SO if you Kiwanians want to
help cur Al's insomnia, get your
sales turned in as early as pos
sible.
The apple sales campaign is
the only revenue raising project
that the Kiwanis club sponsors.
1t is this project which raises
the funds for the youth benefit
program that has done SO much
for the youth of this area. You
can help the youth of your COM
munity by investing in a box of
"Kiwanis Apples"

Major Chamber
Projects Depend
On Finances

A special letter is being sent
out this week asking for a 1907
payment of Chamber assessments.
According to President Dean Beck,
immediate action is necessary in
order to meet current and planned
obligations for the year.
This year the Chambers ten
divisions allotted a $4,000 budget
to the membership to which the
Board and Committee "geared the
1855 Program of Work.. This bud
get eliminated about six special
drives which formerly covered the
Harvest Festival, Tournaments,
and Christmas decorations, Feeder
Day, Farm Institute, Shipping As
siocation and miscellaneous such
as the Armory utilities.
Important projects 'ready to
go" and dependent on financing
include an industrial brochure, a
Sidney pamphlet, special adver-
Using in an Industrial magazine,
special events such as Halloween,
Christmas events and extra deco
rations costs, special meetings such
as Central Highway, Highway
Commission, State Chamber and
Reclamation, Montana Air Ser
vice Field hearing and maintain
ing the hundreds of services per-
formed by the Chamber office.
President Beck has urged &C.
ton from the membership to car
ry out planned activities, espe-
cially the industrial projects. The
leaders of the ten divisions of the
Chamber will make contacts to
those not responding to the spe-
cial letter. The Membership Divi-
sion Committee is headed up by
Paul Cresap and Ed Edmondson
who also urge prompt payment of
assessments and which will save
personal contacts by the busy
members of the divisions.

NEWS FROM THE
CO.. SOIL
CONSERVATION DIST.
BY Carl Hunter

1t has been a somewhat busy
season and we hope much USE
full conservation work has been
accomplished. During the sum-
mer, contouring, sod water way
dikes, bitches, engagements and
construction of new dams occu-
pied the office force and ma
chinery. The district used only
one outfit up to the time of NOV
ing into the valley. Richland
county is large when you travel
with a soil moving outfit and the
work is scattered far apart.
Much more landleveling was
asked for, o than anticipated.
1t would help everyone if appli-
cations for work to be done were
turned in early in the season.
Several contractors have moved
into the valley to assist in pre-
pairing the land for better, easier
and more economical use of the
over abundant irrigation water.
This has caused much extra
work in the office with the re-
quired soil testing, surveying and
preparing land leveling profiles.
Please have patience. We have
a very efficient staff all exper-
fenced in their chosen vocation.
However, it is impossible to en-
gage trained, competent help for
such unforeseen seasonable emer-
gencjes. Farmers generally want
the land leveling completed early
sc the land can be plowed in the
fall and receive the benefit of
frost and thaw.
Some of the land leveled sew
eral years looks somewhat rough
now because the water applied
tends to settle the hills. We have
always advocated using a long
heavy land plane after the first
years irrigation. The high and
level spots then are easily seen.
This dry fall is a very good
time to get this work done. Elk
perience proves the benefits de-
rived in the form of less work to
apply the water and a more uni
form crop is also produced giving
a better net return.
II any contending parties can
guarantee fair weather for ev-
eral months much irrigated land
will be vastly improved.
