Argument on Construction Of
Panama Canal.
LARGE ROCK SLIDES OCCUR
Large Gangs Of Laborers Are Not Vet
REQUIRED on the lsthmus on Ac-
count Of the Unbalanced Stage
of the Construction.

washington. Jan. il.--C. f. Grunsky,
a member OF the Panama, canal COM
mission, in a paper read before a meet
ing OF the resident members of tne So
ciety of Civil Engineers, told about the
conditions at Panama and the work In
hand. He said it was hoped that With
in a feM~months data would be at hand
to enable the commission to reach a
conclusion as to the type of canal 10
be constructed.
That the element of risk is not all in
favor of a canal which is free from
locks. he said, will be realized by every
engineer who visits the points OF
maximum cut. noting the shattered and
unstable formation. where landslides,
if occurring might seriously and for
long periods OF time impede traffic, and
where the magnitude and seriousness
of such an obstruction. and consequent
interruption OF traffic, should it ever
OCCUR must oc dSSuiucu " SAO" "Ath
the depth Of the cut. :.
The borings which the commission
has made at Gamboa, he said, indicate
there win be no difficulty in securing
a good foundation for a dam acrosss
Charles river at that point, and 1t is
quite probable that the commission
viii see its way clear to the erection
Of an earth dam of huge dimension at
this point.
Erection of this dam would create
above ii a lake with surface extent
of 80 square miles, the rise and fall Of
which would prove great equalizer
of the flow of the Chadres river and
make the diversion of a portion Of
this river flow to the Pacific coast pos
sible.
This, he says. would go far towards
reducing the amount of water to be
handled in the canal so that its flow
would not seriously impede the pas
sage of vessels in a sea level canal.
During the period of organization and
the study of the canal project the COM
missioners' work, Mr.. Grunsky said,
had been mainly at Washington. It's
duties in a measure, have been sub
divided, questions of importance being
referred to six standing committees. 1t
is proposed, he said as far as practi-
cable to have the commissioners fol-
low each other to the isthmus. thereby
keeping their members Of the COM
mission in close touch with its exc
cutive offices in charge Of construction
sanitation, and the government of the
canal zone.
He said that laborers in large num-
bers have not been sent to the isthmus
because the time for any considerable
increase of force has not come.

NEW SCHOOL
BUILDING
Work Already Begun and Will Be
Fine Structure

The school board was in session FRI
day afternoon and evening engaged in
letting the contract for the new school
building to be erected on the recently
acquired Cooke property bought for
that purpose. Void x Johnson, of
this city, were awarded the contract at
Sl5, $500. We understand that sew
eral important changes were made in
the original plans, and that pressed
brick will be used in its construction
instead of common brick. A slate
roof instead OF shingles is another
change which will add permanency to
the structure.
On Saturday the site committee met
and decided upon the location of the
building upon the lots and on Monday
excavating for the basement and foun-
dation walls was begun. The building
is to be completed by October 1st.

CAPTURED
A Recreant Husband Found Here
With Another Woman

Brookings enjoyed quite a sensation
last week. \ lady from Webster City,
Iowa, arrived in the city in quest of
her recreant husband. The services
OF Sheriff Campbell were enlisted and
a brief search found him comfortably
and costly housed with his dulcina,
woman homely enough to crack a
looking glass. The mans wife gave
him the choice of going home with
her to assist in the care of their
four children or taking five years
in the "pen" with his enfatuate. He
chose the former and very penitently
packed his grip for the homeward
journey, leaving his "lovely love" to
her fate. Before going however, the
wife secured a check for 800 from the
woman who had wronged her, to as
sist in defraying her expenses. 1t
seems that the man had been living
here since last March and, being a
travelling man, no one suspected his
relations with the woman he was liv-
ing with.

CITY OF BROOKINGS
A City Fair to Look Upon and Hav-
ing Splendid Advantages

The REGISTER takes pleasure in
publishing the following extracts from
a somewhat lengthy article appearing
in a recent number of the South Da-
kota Farmer published at Sioux Falls:
BROOKINGS
A city: fair to look upon and clean
at heart. There may be better laid
out and better-governed towns of its
size in the west, but if SO, have not
seen them.
Brookings has about 1000 inhabi-
tants. with homes established on over
a hundred well-laid-out blocks with
broad streets and cement walks and
crossings on all the principal ones.
It's hundreds Of fine residences with
beautiful lawns and thousands of we'll
grown and well-trimmed trees are at
tractive to look upon. Its business
houses, churches, schools, railway
passenger depot, grain elevators and
mills are credit to town OF double
its size; and then as a municipality,
Brookings is certainly great success
on account Of its owning its necessary
utilities, in water, lighting, heating
and telephone plants that furnish a
constant and increasing revenue to
the city treasury, which is steadily
wiping out its small bonded debt of
only $1O5 900 at the present time.
Then to the Brookings credit. 1t
can demonstrate that city can thrive
without license, for none is to be OBJ
tanned there, and the liquor trade is
controlled by strict regulations OF the
city's ordinance, which requires a
physicians certificate, and that to be
filed with the clerk in advance of the
sale. This is an encouragement to
parents who send their children to one
of our leading state institutions to get
an education,
In the northeast corner of the city is
located the stately buildings of the
state agricultural college and the ad-
jacent experimental grounds. The
buildings about a dozen in number,
including the large stock barns, are
located on a nice elevation with an
easy slope toward the city, and make
fine appearance.
The state owns 400 acres of land,
lying in the shape of an L a half
section and an eighty joining each
other only by their corners with a
highway between.
The college buildings, nursery,
shrubbery and green houses, occupy
nearly all the eighty and the stock
barns and yards are on the half Sec
ton.
A suggestion is ventured that every
farmer in South Dakota who can spare
the time and money to visit Brook
ings and see and take note OF the i'm
portant work now being done at the
state college, will feel greatly encour-
aged for better effort on his home
farm, and every such visit to the wor-
thy institution will afford whole lot
of encouragement to the officers and
instructors who will greet him with a
royal welcome that carries no element
of red tape or assumed aristocracy
that some suspicious person might
expect to meet with, for such does not
exist at the South Dakota agricul-
tural school.

Brought Out the Neighbors

The inhabitants along Seventh
street, between Second and Main ave-
nues, were full of trouble Monday
when the surveyor appeared and began
running a line for the new cement
sidewalk to be constructed on the
south side of that street. After con-
siderable work City Engineer Trooien
succeeded in adjusting the difficulty
satisfactorily we understand. For a
short time everybody was out with a
hoe or spade endeavoring to locate
original survey stakes. We thought
the whole neighborhood was going
fishing and were after "worms for
bait"
