OIL PROGRESS WEEK
Emmett Crabb, chairman of the
O’Neill city council, has proclaimed
October 10-16 as oil progress week
here;
“The important thing that we
have accomplished during the
past year was securing from the
congress of the United States the
authorization by which the Nio
brara river basin development
becomes a part of the overall
Missouri river (Pick - Sloan)
plan.”
Thus spoke President Roy D.
Raitt of Ainsworth, head of the
Niobrara Basin Development as
sociation at the group’s annual
meeting held Friday in the Amer
ican Legion auditorium here.
President Raitt retraced the
irony that cropped up at the out
set of the 83d congress when it
was ruled the Niobrara was not
formally incorporated in the Pick
Sloan plan and, therefore, could
not qualify for funds.
Raitt lauded Rep. A. L. Miller
(R) of Nebraska for introducing
1IR 8520 and pushing the bill
through a series of hearings.
The bill technically enables the
secretary of the interior to in
clude the Niobrara in the bud
get and provide for construc
tion of the Ainsworth, Lavaca
Flats, Mirage Flats and O’Neill
irrigation developments.
Raitt expressed the associa
tion’s gratitude to Representative
Miller, who was present; Nebras
ka Gov. Robert Crosby, also
present; South Dakota Gov. Sig
urd Aderson; C. Petrus Peterson
of Lincoln, president of the Na
tional Reclamation association;
Everett Winters of St. Louis, Mo.,
executive vice-president of the
Mississippi Valley association;
Bill Welch, secretary-manager of
the National Reclamation associa
tion, and bureau of reclamation
personnel, including Area Engi
neer Clyde Burdick of Ainsworth;
Jchn Kiemig of Denver, Colo., re
gional planning engineer; N. B.
Bennett, jr., chief of the project
development division, and others.
On August 20 President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, at his summer
white house in Denver, signed
HR 8520 into public law 612 of
the 83d congress.
Raitt said he hoped one thou
sand members could be signed in
the association during the new
year—1955.
Congressman Miller said he had
been spurring the interior depart
ment’s budget people in order to
speed up Niobrara development,
and also has been vigorously
pressing for an acceleration of
the final surveys and plans. The
basin development will cost about
100-million-dollars. The O’Neill
unit includes about 56,000 acres of
irrigable land.
Other speakers included
James Smith of Omaha, man
ager of the Missouri river divi
sion of the Mississippi associa
tion.
Smith urged the Niobrara group
to join actively with the Missis
sippi and national associations.
Rudolph Walters of Denver, re
gion bureau of reclamation, was
a principal speaker during the af
ternoon session and pointed to
‘"hard work” and a “bright fu
ture” for the Niobrara basin.
Governor Crosby congratulat
ed the group for its “wonderful
progress.”
Raymond Lund, agricultural
agent for the Chicago & North
Western railroad, was evening
banquet speaker.

officers and members of the board
of directors on Tuesday evening
to advise the local association on
plans and procedure for a one
week membership campaign to
be held Monday, October 18, tc
Saturday, October 23, inclusive.
Preliminary plans for the cam

chairmen of the association.

adults and $3 for students. One
membership entitles holder to at
tend all concerts booked as a re
sult of the campaign. The actual

represent.
