Gartside Lake
Plan Is Ready
For Action

The Sportsmen Clubs special
planning committee has made g
tentative layout for recreational
development at Gartside Lake
According to President Rex
Smelser the Board of Directors
have approved the plan which is
to be distributed to interested or
CARNATIONS who might assume a
certain project.
These projects will include two
standpoint wells, picnic areas,
trash barrels, toilets, ball diamond
area, a central shelter, tree plant
ing, access roads, grass planting.
The largest project is riprapping
on the face of the dam which is
planned for June or July. Many
volunteer trucks will be needed
then. A special meeting will be
called for this project.
In addition to the above de-
velopment, the Board in a meet
ing Tuesday, also urges the public
to turn out TO the State Archery
Tourney this Sunday. Sportsmen
are asked to report and relieve
scorers for an hour or so.
The board also heard reports
that Fox Lake development may
be expedited now as land pur-
chases are almost completed. A
series of dykes are planned in
order to hold more water for
water fowl.
A fish total box is to be placed
at Gartside so that records can
be maintained of fish caught.
Four thousand trout were planted.
The board also voted to per-
NIT boats in the lake, but only
at a slow trolling speed. Viola
tons will cause elimination Of
entirely. Those with
boats are asked to stay away
from fishermen and use boats
only for family pleasure.

Gentlemen:
We wish to take this oppor-
tunity to congratulate you and
the cattlemen of Richland coun-
ty in having your county attain
a modified-certified brucellosis-
free status. We are sure this will
bring financial benefit to the
county, prevent the incidence of
human brucellosis, and be a
source of great satisfaction to all
its citizens. The stockmen, the
county agent, the county brucel-
losis committee, the veterinarians,
the technicians, and others who
made possible the attainment of
this goal, r to be commended.
Richland county is the 33rd coun-
ty in the State of Montana to
receive this distinction. 1t is with
a great deal Of pleasure that we
present to you this modified-cer-
titled brucellosis-free area certif-
icate.
Now that this modified-certi-
fled brucellosis-free status has
been attained, it is the response
bility of the cattlemen to exer-
else every reasonable precaution
to prevent the reintroduction of
the disease into their herds and
the county.
Test results reveal that vac
cination has played a major role
in brucellosis control and eradi-
cation. 1t is therefore recommend
ed that vaccination of all heif-
calves be continued.
In keeping with the resolution
passed by the Montana Stock
growers association at their an
nual meeting in Billings in May,
1855, we would like to encourage
all cattlemen to have their dry
and Gull cows and bulls tested,
at the ranch, market, or
at the time of slaughter, when
possible, as a convenient means
of detecting any infection which
may have been introduced since
the herds were tested. We are
In full accord with the Montana
Stockgrowers and their Resolu-

ton committee that this Is the
method of choice for maintain
ing a modified certified brucel-
l~osis-free status in a range state
with a minimum of effort and
expense to the cattle owners.
Very truly yours,

La|onde Hotel Changes
Management June 1st

William BuchhOlz, VINO Tor the
past six years has been the op.
orator and manager of the Hotel
Lalonde, announces that he has
sold his operating interest in the
hotel to Mr.. LaMoine LaFay. Hugh
Egan of LeWistoWn, Montana, no.
tel broker and real estate operator
represented both parties in the
transaction.
Mr.. LaFay has for the past IL
years lived in Dillon, Montana,
and operated the Andrus hotel in
that city. Mr.. LaFay also has an
interest in the Baker Hotel in Bak-
er, Oregon with L. F. Parrish. He
has been active in civic affairs
in the Dillon area and he is a
w~esterner, born and raised in the
Boise, Idaho Mrs. LaFay and
two children arrived today and
presently are living in the La
londe. Mr.. LaFay said today that
Mr.. BuchholZ will remain here
through June assisting him in the
operation for the first month. Five
conventions are set for Sidney in
June.
The Hotel Lalonde was origin
ally leased by r. l.. Kronstad and
his lease was purchased by MI.
Buchholz. Buchholz has been ex-
ceptionally active in community
and state affairs. He is president
of the Montana Hotel Association
and Association representative on
the Montana Taxpayer Board. He
is vice president of the Sidney
Kiwanis, chairman of the Cham
ber's Industrial Committee, and is
an active member in many local
organizations. His future plans r
indefinite, but he does plan to
visit the Kansas City area where
his family has interests in the Ho-
tel Muehlbach.
The Lalonde Hotel originated
through the ideas of local busl-
ness leaders as a community pro-
iect in 1947. They recognized the
need for a modern hotel in order
to keep pace with the stable
growth of Sidney. The Richland
County Hotel Association was
formed primarily as a financing
agency. Approximately 200 stock
holders invested in the structure,
classed as one of Montana's finest
hotels. The hotel has been a COM
munity center of activities and
many conventions have been held
in Sidney as planned for by the
founders.
Axel Nelson was the first
Building Association president
and the hotel was named after
Albert Lalonde, one of the orig
inal leaders in the hotel project.
Both are now deceased. The pres
emf directors of the Richland Coun-
ty Hotel Association are: Presl-
dent. H. L. Rounce; vice president,
]. M. Suckstorff; secretary : treas
urer, S. A. Anderson; Ingvard
Svarre, Nels Bach, Jay Lalonde,
John Marman and Joe Niehenke.
The lessee, Mr.. LaFay, has pur-
chased all furniture, fixtures and
equipment. The present staff will
intact.
Mr.. LaFay said today that he
is highly pleased with the ultra
modern 8O-room Lalonde, recog-
nized as one Of Montana's finest.
He announced plans to emphasize
catering service for ban
auets, private parties, conventions
or any type meeting. The Lalonde
kitchen facilities are modern in
respect and are especially
adapted for handling of large or
small groups.

Under RummelPs guidance a
new era of corporations and ex-

ever, is the impact given to Ohio
agriculture by the constant flow of
new ideas and information coming

credit goes the development of The
Monthly Bulletin-known today as
the Ohio Farm and Home Research
along with other methods of
making available to the public re-
suits of Station work.
c. G.. Williams, head of the ag-
ronomy department, was appointed
dpirector of the Station in 1922
when Thorne retired. He stepped
up wheat breeding research, con-
tinued the building program, and
placed a greater emphasis on for
estry.
In 1887 the board appointed Ed
mund Secrest as director and he
remainded in that capacity until
1947. Secrest guided the Station
through the war years successfully
on a limited budget and reduced
personnel. Upon his retirement L..
L. Rummell was named Director.
Today the Station has about l.
600 acres in Wayne county and ap-
proximately 1000 acres in substa-
ton and county experiment farms

In 1888 the federal government
assed the Hatch Act granting
$4,000 a year to each state for
gricultural research. Naturally,
lis allowed the Ohio Station to
lcrease its program. Charles E.
horne, professor of agriculture
nd graduate of Antioch College,
as appointed the first full-time
irector.
Although research was conduct
! successfully at Columbus, floods
ON the Olentangy river and linn
ed space eventually forced the
oard of control to look for a more
litable site. BY authority of the
tate Legislature, the board
ought 452 acres south of Wooster
Wayne County and the Station
loved to its new location in 1892.
First large buildings to be COM
leted were the present beef cattle
arm in 1894 and the administra-
ion building in 1896. Building pro-
rams, land acquisition, personnel,

them.
Noble reminded that If persons
do not voluntarily help in the anti
litter campaign, an Ohio statute
can be invoked ito provide the
necessary incentive"
A statutory penalty of so dol
lars may be levied against persons
found guilty of willfully strewing
the roadways with debris.

ter of maintaining roadways free
of debris"
Noble pointed out that safety
hazards are often created by care
less trash disposal, underlining the
need for litter consciousness"
Roadside cleanliness is of infin-
ite Importance for varied reasons,
officials pointed out.
Pointing to Ohio's nearly 800
roadside parks as one example
maintenance experts stated that
cleanliness largely determines how
useful these rest stations are rend-

Cost-wise, cleanup operations
are very expensive, Noble pointed
out. A special department staticti-

quarter of a million dollars was
spent in 1856 alone to rid Ohio S
