DR.. A. E. Clough of this city recent
ly visited Brookings and in casual Wis
iting with leading business men of that
city discovered a sentiment in favor of
projecting an electric railway line from
that city via Madison, Salem, on to

letter to The Daily Leader pays it the
following handsome compliment: "We
have before us copy of your paper of
