DOES THE CITY WANT IT?
The Question of New Y. M. c. A
Building to Be Considered.

Does BrOOkings want Y. M. Z. A.
building? There seems TO be consd-
erable discussion on this question
caused by the visit, over Sunday, Of
W. NJ. Parsons, Of Minneapolis. Mr..
Parsons is secretary for the Young
Mems Christian Association for the
northwest and his territory extends to
the Pacific coast. His business is to
assist in the organization Of Y. NJ. G.
A. in cities throughout the northwest
wherever he is called. He is at pres.
ent aiding the one being established
in A Aberdeen.
Or Sunday afternoon Mr.. Parsons
addressed the young men at the Pres
byterian church, and again OnSunday
evening he occupied the pulpit, con
veying to large audience such infor-
nation as was needful and desirable
for such an organization in BrouklngS.
Much interest was stirred up iu
consequence Of this visit OF Mr.. Par
sons and there are already a number
Of citizens who have expressed a de
sire TO put money into building that
could be utilized for y. VI. c. A, pur
poses. Such a building could be
built for about $4,000 1r Sl2 900 and
the REGISTER is quite certain that
the amount could be raised if proper
steps were taken at once.
A building could be erected SO as TO
provide rooms suitable for reutaI pur.
poses as well a. home for the organ
iZation and this would, ia a measure,
provide for its maintenance. ItshOuld
be provided with lecture room, library,
gymnasium, bath rooms, cloak rooms
and kitchen: and the lecture room and
Kitchen should be Of sufficient size to
accommodate all down town assem-
bles.
Such a building would be OF grea /
benefit in more ways than one and As
Mr.. Parsons will again return to
BrookIngS in three or four weeks the
REGISTER trusts the matter will be
taken up and acted on.

They Should Report

A bout year ago something was
said, in the BrookingS papers, about
municipal ownership Of public utill-
ties. A little later the citizens proved
by their votes, that they were in favor
OF municipal ownership.
The city Of Brookngs is a corpora
tiou in which each and every citizen
owns stock to the amount Of property
he or she owns aud the taxes he or she
pays
Brookinga has taken the lead iu
muuicipal ownership in this state and
in the northwest. The administrd-
tiun of public affairs in Brookiags
will be watched, and criticised, by
/ every city in the northwest.
( 1t is, therefore, OF vital importance
to the large majority of the citizens
of this city that the enterprises, which
they favor, should prove a success.
To that end the taxpayers, and own
ers of corporate Investments, should
know the financial status Of each en-
terpriSe. In order for them to gain
such knowledge they should require a
semi-annual or, al least, an annual re-
port from the city clerk, authorized
by the mayor and council.
AbUut the time OF the city election,
last spring, the writer suggested to a
number Of citizens the necessity for
such report. He was told by one citi-
zen that the newly elected mayor was
then preparing form for such reports.
If any report has been made or pub.
lished in the city papers we have over
looked it. The first Of the year would
seem TO be an appropriate time 20
make A repOrtrhut, we have looked
through the last two issues of two Of
the city papers and have not found it,
The citizen taxpayers are the own.
ers Of the public enterprises and are
responsible for their success or failure
They are also responsible for the con
dition of the public streets, or thoro-
fares, az well as all other business
transacted by an incorporated city
The mayor and council are trustees,
chosen by the corporation, to manage
its business. Every private corpora
tion, having a managing board or
manager, requires periodical reports
from such board or manager.
With all due respect for the eXeCr.
tive ability of the mayor and council
and the intelligence OF the people,
the writer wishes TO assert, with en-
phaSis, that il is not good business
policy for a city TO transact business
year after year, without making peri
odical reports, through the city clerk,
to the public OF the financial condition
of the city.

FOOLISHLY SPEND MONEY
Young Men Lavish Hard Earned
Money on Young Ladies

At Watertown recently the young
ladies gave leap year party 10 the
young men and treated them royalty.
Taking the young men TO and from
the dar ,e hail in carriages, and giving
then an elegant supper. This the
young maidens did because they had
been escorted to parties by the young
men for eight years perhaps dozen
times each year and they could afford
TO give one PARTY and have swell
affair in return for all they had
received.
Now tie young men propose TO give
another PARTY and will 60 the young
ladies one better If possible at their
ball. In commenting upon he
event MS Stutenroth OF Watertown,
says: "Uf G. urSe she gave him good
time, bought lIDwers, paid for the car
riage and the supper, but what OF il.
It's the first time In eight years and if
she did it at all she would do it right
10 be sure. But can he not wait more
than ten days before he paps her back.
And then il he gives her party TO
balance his account with her does he
have to make it cost four times an
ordinary party. To an observer it
locks as il the boys Of Watertown
(meaning those who work on mOder-
ate salary spend enough money in
one year on such pastime to pay their
way at some good school where they
would be building a foundation for
future usefulness. The years Of youth
are quickly spent-almost as quick as
the dollars they earn. Pleasure and
Dastime is splendid thing and none
should deny himself but to spend the
best part Of s. on one dance, when
salary with some boys, is living lit
tie faster than their fathers and
grandfathers lived. or course these
boys live at home and are not bothered
with bills from the grocer. the butcher,
nor the coal man, and they can all
afford luxuries like these. But
habits formed in life are sometimes
hard to mainIaiu IN later years and
frivolous expenditure OF mental aud
physical vigor as well as money ia
youth tells on the structure Of man
hood"
No person ever spoke words more
truthful. A young lady never thought
any more OF a young man because he
lavished money upon her, but what is
the use trying to tell the average
young man how he might better him
self, don't he know better thar his
elders about what is for his good? If
you don't believe he does just ask him.

mistake Of conferring X. upon the
Record-keeper instead OF the candi-
date. About ll.30 adjournment was
had TO the White Elephant Cafe where
an elegant oyster stew was served.
This service was Mrs. Emma JOhnSons :

The Northwestern to Build
New Depot at Brookings
After Many Years Waiting the City TO Have Modern Building
for the Travelling Public

that all local freights can approach
the freight depot without obstruct-
ing the passenger track.
Nor is this all, the REGISTER is in
formed that when these improve
ments have been completed park
will be laid out on the northSide of
the tracks extending west from Main
street To the round house.
The people OF BrookingS can best
appreciate such an improvement
about the property OF the North.
Western when it is once accomplished
aud the REGISTER is pleased 10 know
that the railroad company has accep-
ted the situation and will give Brook
ings what 1t has so long deserved.
Brookings is growing rapidly and all
Of the buildings and Improvements
made in recent years have been Of
such substantial character that it
would be unseemly for the North
Western to do anything less at this
time.
Agent w II. Leighty is, OF course,
correspondingly happy and, while he
has always been somewhat skeptical
when approached on the subject in
the past, he is Of the opinion that
there will be something doing this
year and lives in fond anticipation of
the time when BrOUkiugs and the
travelling public will cease to bear
down on him with the new depot

After years Of patient waiting IL
seems as though our hopes were to be
realized. On Morday w. l.. Curtis,
chief engineer for the North Western
railroad, arrived in the city with a
force Of men and at once proceeded TO
the work of digging test holes for
foundation, surveying site, locating
water main, sewer, etc, for a new de-
pot.
Mr.. Curtis waited on the city coun-
Gil Monday evening and asked 1oi
figures on city light, heat, water ana
sewer. The city clerk was authorized
to take the matter up with Mr.. Cur
tis and convey the desired informa-
tiOn.
Mr.. Curtis says that the building
will be modern in every respect ana
much the same as the one at Sleepy
Eve, Mimi, the difference conform
ing to the location only, and it will
be built of stone and brick. 1t Will
be electric lighted, heated and well
ventilated. The finishing will he in
hard wood. Lavatory and closets
will be provided and, in fact, every
thing for the comfort and convenience
OF the travelling public is promised.
The plan is TO utilize the present
building for a freight depot which
will be moved west from its present
location and placed somewhere be-
tween the present site and the round
hnnse Side tracks will be laid SO

WORLD ATHLETIC RECORD.

-. Louis. Aug. Sl.--In the athletic
contest today, the third of the 1904
Olympian games. one worlds record
fell before the prowess of an Ameri.
can: three Olympic records were bro
ken, the laurels going TO two Ameri.
cans and n Greek; and one Olympic
aud worlds record was broken, but
owing 10 an unfortunate accident, the
time will not be allowed in the latter
as the official record VI. l.. Hillman
of the New York Athletic Club ran
the i00.meter hurdle in 3 2-5 seconds
under the Olympic and worlds record.
Hiliman was forced the entire dis.
lance by Frank Waller of the Milwau.

ond In the excitement OF the race
Hillman failed to clear the last hurdle
Clearly and the barrier fell to the
ground. disqualifying his record, but
not affecting the result OF the race.
The 200-meter run again brought out

the Milwaukee A. G. won the first heat
In the record time of 20 1.5 seconds.
He fought the distance with w. ].

the bar bell. Kakousis won the event
by lifting weight Of 1856 pounds. Ka.
kousis then went after the Olympic
record, which Is also regarded as the
worlds record. He first lifted 200
pounds and then had the weights ad'
justed at $50 pounds, four ounces more
than the record made by the Danish
athlete, V. Jensen, at Athens 0lympian
