Brookings' Enterprises

Brookings has the idea of munich
pal ownership we'll developed, having
more than 100000 invested in public
utilities, which are four in number.
Brookings has municipal water munic-
ipal lighting, municipal heat, munich
pal phones, and all under one manage
ment. The city is exceptionally we'll
lighted and the whole business section
is heated from the exhaust from the
engines in the power house. During
the past year the city sold to con-
sumers more than 81, 100000 worth Of
heat developed at the power house and
distributed through pipes to the
various business buildings. This ar
rangement is much cheaper to the
consumer than the private system of
heating and the temperature of the
rooms is kept practically uniform day
and night. This heat is furnished
about seven months in the year and
while it materially lessons the hazard
By fire it is at the same time much
cleaner and more satisfactory in all
respects than the private system OF
heating. Brookings is the first city

Arbor Day Proclamation

The time to plant has come again.
Each year in its turn brings its oppor-
tunities. If we would use and enjoy
we must plant and reap. Nature and
time gave us the original forests and
we have in large degree wasted them.
We must plant trees. We ought to be
more in earnest each year. Friday,
April 20, is designated as Arbor Day.
Farmers are urged to plant rows OF
trees, especially the willows, from east
to west. The willows will soon make
a wind break and serve other useful
purposes. Apple and other fruit trees
should be planted on the north side
Of these groves and willow hedges. Il
