MAKING CEMENT BLOCKS
THIS Industry Has Been Started on
Small Scale That Will
Steadily Grow.

Goettlieb Scheurenbrand has COM
mence the manufacture of cement
blocks at his factory in the southeast
part OF the city, adjoining his home.
Mi. Scheurenbrand will keep a small
force of men at work the rest of the
season and next year, according to
the demand for the blocks. will in
cease the output. The method of
making the blocks is done 10y hand
tamping in a mold which turns out
the most perfect blocks we have seen.
The middle brace is much heavier
and overcomes the weakness in the
average block, where on Its being re-
moved from the machine, usually
cracks a little. The blocks that are
now being made by MIR. Scheuren-
brand are smooth looking ana free
from AN possible flaw, so far as we
could ascertain. He has had so much
experience in handling cement that
bis work "a be relied upon as being
through. In the mixing of mater
ial MIR. Scheurenbrand is particularly
careful, for it is one Of the elements
of solidity. He uses a larger proper
ton of cement than is usually the
case, being six Of sand to one of ce-
ment.
The machine that Mr.. Scheuren-
brand uses is capable Of turning
many different kinds of blocks from
the Hat face to the bevel and to the
rock faced block, and they can he
made of various sizes, with corners
and slanting pieces for bay windows.
With the material that Mr.. Scheur-
enbranc is now making he expects to
construct a residence next spring on
east Hanson street.

EX-GOVERNOR LEES OPINION
Inspected the City Hall and Declared
There Was Room Enough for
the States Business.

Among the many visitors in the
city Thursday was former Governor
Andrew f, Lee, of Nermillion, and
while here he, with several other
Clay county citizens, was shown
through the city hall building,
which is to lie used for temporary
capitol purposes. After looking the
building owe thoroughly Mr.. Lee de-
clared that it was a very fine build
ing indeed, and that there was ample
room for the legislature and for all
of the state officers and for what
ever purpose the state desired to use
the building. The former governor
has had some experience with the
state house at Pierre and 1T is pre-
sumed he is fully qualified to speak
with reference to the building in
this city. This statement by the
former governor adds that much
more emphasis to the fact as set
forth by Mitchell as to the building
being sufficiently adequate for the
needs Of the state for years to come.

CHAMPIONS in TENNIS
Dow and Phillips, of Sioux Fall $
Win Championship in the
Tennis Doubles.

The state tennis tournament came
so a close at Sioux Falls Friday. and
it was a very successful affair.
Thursday afternoon the finals in
doubles were played by Dow and
Phillips, OF Sioux Falls, against
Wheeler and Mathews, of Brookings.
Dow and Phillips won the match in
three straight sets, Sc. rs, 60. Civ
ing them the championship of the
ttale.
In referring to the match between
Wells and Branson and Dow and
Phillips, which occurred Thursday
morning. the Argus-Leader has the
following:
The most interesting match of the
morning vas in the doubles when
Wells and Branson of Mitchell were
pitted against Dow and Phillips of
Sioux Falls. The hopes of the Sioux
Falls fans are pinned on Phillips and
Dow in the doubles and as a conse-
quence all were anxious that they
should win. The MITCHELL team
started CIT with a rush and i'm a few
minutes the score stood 4 to l in
their favor. The two Sioux Falls
men played a plucky up hill game
but were finally defeated by a
score of rs for the first set. The
next set went to Dow and Phillips
GA. Then came the final battle and
it was strenuous enough for the
greatest fan. 1t was nip and tuck
from start to finish with the van
tage in favor OF Sioux Falls who
finally o by. a score of 81. The
disposal of Branson and Wells clears
the atmosphere considerably.
Friday morning Wheeler of Brook
ings and Phillips, of Sioux Falls,
played the finals in the singles, and
it was a hard fought match. Each
man had two sets to his credit, and
in the fifth Wheeler proved too
strong for his opponent and won out.
At the business meeting of the as
ISOLATION it was decided to put up
three silver cups, which will be con-
tested for in singles and doubles un-
til they have been won three times
by one indi vidual or team. then to
become the permanent property of
the winners. The Goodrich tennis
ball was adopted as the official ball

of this city, was honored by the
election as first vice-presldent of the
