Eaitor shePPsrd's Visit to Rrookings.
Jas. II. Sheppard last week, In the
Howard Press, described his trip to
this city and after speaking about
what he saw between Howard and
Iroquois, says: I'm few minutes We
we're aboard a North Western cannon
ball passenger train headed for Brook
ings to spend the Sabbath with Edi-
tor Breed, Of the REGIsTKR. We saw
lots Of fine country and some very
pretty and thrifty towns. De Smet,
the home OF the incisive News and en-
ergetic Independent, loomed particu-
larly attractive. Mr.. Breed, compre-
hending our innocence, kindly came
out to the junction and piloted us into
Brookings. OF course the reader en-
poets us to say we were charmed BY
the beauty Of that famed little city.
And we say it--say IL without fear or
favor'-and because We don't want 10
disappoint anyone when IL isn't neces-
sary. Nestled In . wealth OF foliage
and radiant under the glare OF its eloc-
trio illuminators, Brookings was In
deed q beauty-as handsome little
city 40 we ever visited-by night--al-
most revelation. Bro. Breed took
pardonab!e pride ia showing ~
through the REGIsrER oftice, supplied
with dozen or more electric lights
In counting and editorial rooms and
over stones and cases, we'll equipped
with presses, steam power and heat
when needed), and an abundance of
material for turning out xll kinds Of
printing and having, apparently. all
the work 1t could handle. One OF the
best printers In the state has charge
OF the Office. Mr.. butcher, senior Of
the firm, is a pleasant gentleman to
meet, and an exhaustive writer.
These gentlemen started the RE0rs-
TER ten years ago and their success
shows what competency can do Ia the
printing business. They make
speciality OF half-tonc Illustrations In
the REaIsTER--a paper that speaks
for ITSELF They do state work, col
lege work, anything that comes along,
together with the things they 90 after
land get. We had tie pleasure also
Of inspecting the electric light plant.
and some other features OF the city,
and then went down to the we'll
equipped home OF Bro. Breed. Well
equipped? yes. A fine little family
and abundantly provided FOR. Their
little daughter, Miss Lillian, although
but ten years old, gave q few exhibI-
tons OF her eIocution&ry powers, dur
ing our stay, that were somewhat a.
tonishing in one 90 young. She has
recited on few prominent occasions,
and Is regarded as very promising In
this line Of work, her articulation and
delineation being excellent. But We
must bring the reader back with I'd
little abruptly, for this chatty para
graph has already been made rather
lengthy at the risk OF being monoton-
Gus. We shall have to forogo the
pleasure Of reference to the fine az
riculturaI college plant, the improve
ments the city is making Goo dwell
ings, we were told, have gone up since
last September), the Belgian hare
plant, the phenomenal success AZ arti-l
fetal timber culture, and lastly. but
not leastly, the splendid boat ride We
were incidentally permitted TO enjoy
on Lake Campbell, ten miles south OF
Brookings, BY moonlight, on the even
ing Of the first day Of the week, COM
monty called Sunday.
