printer this week and the college force
is busy sending them out to prospec-
tive students. The new catalogue is
very similar to the one last year, but
is larger and better printed. From
the demand for these catalogues there
is reason to believe that the atten.

last.

them being DR.. Arthur A. Brigham,
principal of the new school of agricul-
ture, Prof. E. w. Olive. head of the

NEW TOWNSHIP

The location of the new town of
Sinai in the southwestern part OF the
county over which there has been a
warm fight the last few months, was
finally decided upon last week, the
farm of Nicholas Olson, who resides
in this city, in section II finally being
selected. The new town is located
four miles east of Kingsbury county
Brookings. 1t is eleven miles from
Volga and an equal distance from
Arlington
The fight over the site of the new
town was a long and bitter one, and
it has been the sole topic of converse
ton in that section since the new road
decided to go through. The South
Dakota Central people did not help
matters any when they promised the
townsite to number of different far
mers. The proposition of Mr.. Olson
was finally accepted and about twenty
three acres Of land was purchased
from him for $l,650 The remainder
of the land is retained by Mr.. Olson
and il will be plated into lots and
disposed of as fast as there is a de-
mand. Mr. Olson is most fortunate
in having the town located on his pro-
perty and will be considerably en-
riched thereby.
The site is mile east of the Sinai
Lutheran church, nearby the old Sinai
postoffice The townsite is said to be
low. but the country around it is good
and il starts in life with a promising
future.
The South Dakota Central railroad
already has about hundred cars of
material on the ground for the purpose
of building a depot, side tracks etc
Building material is also on hand for
the building of three elevators, which
it is hoped will be completed in time
to take care of this years crop. A
number of other business institutions
are preparing to open their doors, in
Guiding a bank, hardware store and
one or two general stores.

FARMERS GET DAMAGES

Judge G., H. Marquis called the spe-
cial term of court to hear the South
Dakota Central railroad cases at the
court house Thursday morning. Some
difficulty was experienced in getting a
jury, the special venire being exhaust
ed and il was necessary to subpoena a
number Of extra jurymen The evi.
dence in the case was begun Thursday
afternoon, and all day Friday was
taken up by the jury in driving over
the right-of-way in dispute. The case
went to the jury Saturday at noon and
at eight o'clock in the evening they
brought in their verdict, finding for
the farmers in the sum of $5,3796S.
The damage was apportioned among
the different properties as follows:
Northeast quarter of Section 3, Town
ship 1903, Range 50, Ole Eken estate
$727.4O; north half of the southeast
quarter of the southeast quarter OF
section "a, Marvin II. Nelson, 1869. .65;

A. Mathews of BrOokings, were the
attorneys for the South Dakota Central
railroad company. and the farmers
were represented by John c. Jenkins
of Brookngs. and f.. b. Korns of
Tracy.
The amount Of the damages were
more than anticipated by either side
but at the same time it was fair
verdict and in keeping with the JUS
tiCe in the case. At one time sooner
than have to take the case into court
the farmers agreed to settle with the
railroad company for 81, 10000, but the
company preferred to take the matter
into court and rejected the offer, with
the result that the jury awarded near
ly $1,000 more in damages than had
originally been asked for

BOOSTERS ARE BUSY

At the meeting Of the promoters of
the Mitchell Madison BroOkinss rail-
road held at Mitchell two weeks ago a
committee was appointed to go to
Minneapolis for conference with the
Commercial club OF that city. This
conference will be held at Minneapolis
next Wednesday, and it will be ascer-
tanned at that time just what the COM
mercial interests of Minneapolis will
do to help the new line. Geo. A. West,
+. c. Olson and Frank Sherwin are
the representatives from Brookings to
go to the Minneapolis meeting.
That the commercial interests of
Minneapolis are highly in favor of the
new road and will help it in every
possible way may be judged from the
nal:
project is on foot to divert a
stream of dollars now flowing into
Chicago to the benefit of Minneapolis
wholesalers, jobbers and business in
terests here in general.
The Commercial clubs powerful in
fluence is the one great weapon with
which the fight is to be made, and this
together with the enthusiastic support
of residents between Marshall, Mimi.
and Mitchell S. D., it is thought that
the lemon will be properly handed the
Windy City.
1t is proposed that new railroad be
built between those two points, and
such line would mean that Minnea-
polls would then get the business that
now goes to Chicago
Some time ago c. B. Kennedy of
Madison, S. D., who is working in
favor of the new road, called upon
Commissioner Wallace G. Nye Of the
Commercial club and explained the ad-
vantages to be gained. Nothing tangi-
BILE developed but at a recent meeting
OF interested citizens along the propos-
ed right of way it was voted that a
committee be appointed to confer with
the Minneapolis Commercial club and
ascertain to just what extent the sup
port and cooperation of Minneapolis
business concerns could be expected
Sept is the date designated by the
club for the proposed meeting If this
date is agreeable TO the visitors a com
bined meeting between manufacturers
bankers, grain men and others will
be arranged.
The new line, which will probably
be electric, would tap q wonderfully
fertile country, passing through the
towns of Madison, BrOokings. Salem,
Ivanhoe. Hendricks and Epiphany.
1t would be impossible to anticipate
what action may be taken BY the Min
neapolis business men, replied Com
missioner Nye in response to an in
quiry, but the new line, it is easy to
see. would be of much benefit. and it is
only natural to presume that substan-
tial encoura cement will be given. The
Commercial club has promise % work
in hearty cooperation with tha men
behind the project

STORY WAS UNTRUE

We received letter from Ed Erick-

Reds last year. He is at loss to
understand how the report of his death
got started. as he says he never felt
better in his life. He has had a
change in scenery this year and has
travelled a good many thousand miles.
He started out with Newark. n. j.,
team of the eastern league and was
then transferred clear across the con
tinent to Spokane. He is now pitching
in the Canadian league. but said he

DelanO, Mimi, before great while.
He wished to be kindly remembered

ODD FELLOWS HOME

For a number of years the Odd
fellows OF South Dakota have been en-
gagged in accommodating fund for the
purpose of founding home for aged
or feeble Oddfe!lows and at the pre-.
sent time have about S25 900 on hand
The building of home is in the
hands Of a committee and this com.
mittee is now seeking a location.
The city Offering the best induce
ment will be chosen and bids are in
from Huron. Madison Hurley, Dell Ra.
submit bids to the board having the
matter in charge. in the hope that
their particular town will be selected
as the place for the home.
These bids will contain all sorts OF
propositions. For instance, Dell Rap.
ids will offer tract of forty acres OF
valuable land as building site, and
in addition will agree to furnish all
the stone for the building, While c. J.
missioner of school and public lands,
states that himself and nine others
will each offer the sum of $1,000 in
cash as an inducement for the board
to select Hurley as the site for the
home. and that twenty other residents
of Hurley will each donate the sum
of $500 TO the fund providing Hurley
is selected as the place for the pro
posed home.
ed the field in hope of capturing the
home doubtless will offer inducements
Of equally as liberal character. The
bids will be opened January 9 next,
and the grand lodge Of South Dakota
will pass upon the various PROPOSE
tions at its annual meeting next May
and decide upon the location for the
home.
Healthfulness, good moral surround
ings, convenience to good schools. free
tuition, church and Suuday-schOol OPP
portunities, railroad facilities and
other advantages will be considered
by the grand lodge in making the
selection.
1t is thought that by the time the
grand lodge is ready to have the work
Of constructing the home commenced
the fund for the building viii con-
tain in the neighborhood of $50 900.
The home, after it is constructed
will be sustained by the various mem
bers of the order in the South nakota
jurisdiction, so the only tax to the city
or town which is fortunate enough to
be selected as the location FOR the
home will be the self-imposed one of
providing a suitable proposition to Sc
cure the favorable consideration Of the
grand lodge That the home Hill
prove of great benefit to the town
in which it is located it is unques-
toned
Certainly BrOOkings could meet all
the requirements and has the best of
most towns which are in the race.
Why not go after the home ourselves?
we will say that it will be something
Of great value to the city both from
monied standpoint and in the addition
al attractions that would come with it,
as the homes wherever established
are made beautiful beyond easy con-
ception and attract a great many visit
ors to the place where they are locat-
ed. We believe that some live per
son or local lodge of Oddfellows ought
to be set at work and see what can
be done to secure the home for Brook
ings
