would be done on this hole
ear, but he expected to re-
operations again by next
year, or rather he hoped to do so
He believes that the holes will
have to be drilled deeper than
the 2500 feet level to encounter
oil in this territory. His finan-
cial backers however have order
ed the work stopped so there
was nothing left for him to do.
Its a shame in a way as the
geology on this hole was just get
ting interesting. We believe that
a hole will have to be drilled be-
tween 3700 and 3800 feet to find
production in this section.
Mr. Zeigen thinks well of this'

up, but find oil here as soon as

City Buys Tractor
And Grader
At a special called meeting of
the City Couucil Wednesday
morning a tractor and grader
were purchased by the City
Dads. The two pieces of machin-
ery cost the taxpayersjof Schulen-
burg $1700. We presume it was
necessary to do this, are the City
Council would not have spent
our money, still some state that
a second hand Fordson tractor
corifl^iave been bought for
ar<^U$250. which would have
done this work as well as the
$1200. tractor. This machinery
will only be used once in a great
while following rains to drag the
streets within the City limits.
We beleive the City Council
knows what it is doing, we since-
rely hope that the roads are now
maintained within the limits of
our town. The present admin-
istration has let our gravel
streets go to the Bow-Wows to
where its almost impossible to
drive the School loop without
breaking a spring. Theotherloop
north on main street where ev
ery property owner paid for his
gravel under an agreement that
they would be maintained has
likewise wasted away to a great
extent.
With the new machinery lets
hope we get something done and
the machinery kept out of the
weather, not permitted to rust.

Another False Alarm I Schulenburg Short
Trouble Located Awarded S
Tuesday afternoon the fire
siren again sounded, causing the
members of the fire department
and the public in general to rush
around trying to locate the fire.
This proved to be another false
alarm. Recently when tho two
false alarms went off in the mid-
dle of the night, aglass was plac-
ed over the electric button which""afrdT'Flatonfa. Schulenburi
controlls the siren, making it
necessary to break the glass to
turn in an alarm. Tuesday the
glass was not broken, thus prov-
ing that no one had been tamper-
ing with the alarm. The elec-
tricians got busy and found a
shorted wire, the theory is that
when a train .pulled a big load
into town, shaking the earth it
would "occasionaly,cause a con-
tact with the short, which auto-
matically set the siren to shriek-
ing. The wire has been repaired
and in future there should noi
be any trouble. Everyone should
remember about the little glass
over the button, if you see a fire
and wish to turn in an alarm,
get a rock or something, break
