Beet Crops in
Sidney Area
Look Good

Although approximately 1000
acres of the 5000 acres planted
to sugar beets in the Hardin area
were hailed out in midsummer,
and 5000 of the acres got the
hail treatment twice - it now
appears with continued favorable
weather most of the Hardin area
sugar beets are now on the "way
back" and will make a payable
crop to farmers.
According to L. R. Cool, Har-
din, Montana District Agricul-
turist for Holly Sugar Corpora
ton, there were approximately
1000 acres of sugar beets in the
Hardin area with a complete
"top loss" On the optimistic side
the Holly Sugar official reports
there has been no hail damage to
beets in the entire Sidney area,
and predicts sugar beet crops
there are "as good or better than
normal"
While the sugar beet crop in
the Hardin and Sidney areas APP
pears to have weathered the
storms, other crops in the Har-
din area such as beans, grain and
the first cutting of alfalfa hay
were a total loss.

Fire DESTROYS
Hay on Ranch

Fire destroyed 5000 bales of
prairie hay stacked in two stacks
on the Sig Anderson ranch about
2h miles south of Enid and 35
miles due west of Sidney last
Wednesday afternoon. Value of
the hay, which was a complete
loss, was set at approximately
S2,250 according to Sidney Fire
Chief Bonnie Dave.
The hay was the property of
Anderson and his tenant, Walter
Buxbaum, who lives or the
ranch. Buxbaum was in Lam
bert at the time of the blaze.
Mrs. Buxbaum discovered the
fire, and phoned Anderson who
called the Sidney Fire De-
partment. By the time Sidney
fircmen could make the 35-mile
run, the Lambert Fire Depart
ment truck was already there,
but the fire was too advanced to
do more than prevent grass fires
from spreading.
There was no insurance.

Art Hall Home
Damaged BY
Blaze Thursday

A fire last Thursday afternoon
at the home of Arthur Hall at
LOG 7th Ave. NV caused damage
estimated at about $2,500.
The blaze was discovered about
8 pm. by Mrs. Robert st. Cyr,
who noticed that the bright sun
light had suddenly become dark
and looked out to find a cloud
of smoke coming from the Hall
home, and called the fire depart
ment.
The fire apparently started in
a basement bedroom, where fur
nishings and walls sustained con-
siderable damage. When firemen
arrived, smoke was coming from
all parts of the house, but no
flame was visible. The fire had
apparently smouldered since the
early morning. None of the fam
lily was at home, as Hall and his
son, Gary, were at work, and
Mrs. Hall had made a trip to
Williston, N. D.
Firemen used the departments
new "smoke ejector' to clear the
house sufficiently SO that they
could enter, used chemicals, and
then water to extinguish the fire.
Smoke damage in the house was
extensive.

recently completed an agreement
with Trans-Canada Airlines for
the aircraft. The rest of the
fleet will be flown from Canada
to Denver during the next few
weeks.
With the additional nine air.
craft to supplement the airline's
present fleet of 16 DC-3s, From
tier will be in a position to in
augurate new airline service over
new routes from Denver to
Omaha via eastern Wyoming and
northern Nebraska cities, and
from Denver to Bismarck and
Minot, N. D., via western Nebras-
ka and western South Dakota
cities, plus additional service
from Casper to Rapid City via
Newcastle, Wyo. These routes

City Budget
Is Reduced
Three Mills

At a special meeting on Mon
day night, August II, the City
Council of Sidney met and ap-
proved the 1958-59 budget which
resulted in a reduction of 3 mills
over the budget of one year ago.
The new budget has a total of
$~136,914.25 for expenditures to
maintain and operate the city
departments. In addition to this
budget there is a budget made
up for the water, sewer, and gar
bage departments which operate
only from the money received
for services rendered.
This administration is very
proud that it has been able to ac-
complish this tax reduction and
it would like to point out that
considerable time and effort has
been put forth studying this re-
duction 50 as to eliminate the
possibility of a tax incr skca next
year due to this action.
Included in the budget was an
increase in salaries for the en-
ployees, ranging from $500 to
$500 a month, a small sum for
a planning board, an airport
fund of $4,000 to help maintain
the runways and an increase of
several thousand dollars in the
library fund. This fund has al
ways been on the short end and
yet it plays a very large part in
our way of life when you stop
to think that almost 10000 books
went out of the library this past
year.
The City Council feels that it
has accomplished a great deal
this past year, and hopes that it
will do more this year. There are
many important decisions that
the public will be called upon to
make in the near future which
will effect the growth and de-
velopment of Sidney. The City
Council also urges the public to
take part and find out what is
going on and what is being
planned for the welfare of Sid
ney.
