THE COTTAGE HOTEL

The Northwestern house. which had
been vacant for some time. was rented
by Larson Bro of Pipestone, Mimi,
a couple OF weeks ago, and the hotel is
now ready 10 receive the travelling pub
lie. Before opening up for business
the gentlemen had the entire house
painted and papered. electric lights
city water and sewerage put in and
new furniture and bedding installed in
all the rooms. In consequence the
hotel is now in the best shape it has
ever been. and worthy of the liberal
patronage which it is receiving. The
name OF the hotel has been changed
TO the Cottage hotel, and fine new
sign calls the attention of the public.
The table is said to be most excel
lent one, and the rates are very rea-
sonable. The new proprietOrs are
experienced hotel men, and We look
TO see them prosper in their new un-

THE DOUBLE TEL ~ ONE

In many places the cities have al
lowed the officials of two separate
companies TO secure telephone fran.
chises within the city limits only to
find that after hoping for better and
cheaper service they are compelled
to pay for the installation for two
phones in every place of business
and every dwelling requiring general
service, thus doubling up the expense
to the patron. In after years this city
will see that it acted wisely in gaining
control of the telephone service and
we believe that this applies to all sorts
of franchises in that the public should
never lose control of it's franchise
interests
Wherever private corporation is
given full control or absolute mono
poly of any business the hOggishness
of the individual or the soullessness
of the corporation sooner or later
crops out and the public always suf-
TEN of city government is defective
and that new and progressive ideas
will have to be introduced, but we still
believe the people are as capable of
managing their own affairs as corpora
tions, if they only follow out the same
principles as those maintained by the
latter
1t is our belief that if the knocker
(the fellow who knocks because he
his own financial benefiD was ridicul-
ed out of court instead of receiving en-
couragement from those who think
there is no other way of handling mu-
inequalities than the old way of grant
ing and giving away franchises just
because our fOrefatherS were foolish
enough to do SO matters would
soon be righted. 1t might be we'll to
remember that there are whole lot
did, which have been improved upon,
and why not take steps to improve
upon our present system Of city gov
ernment. We may make mistakes in
the minor details, but in the main
there would be advancement. City of.
ficials complain that their work is
hampered, that the best cannot be Sc
cured because Of the cumbersome
laws governing them. Why not look
into this also?

RECIPE FOR GOOD SERMONS

Bro. j. A. Seaton has a recipe for
good sermons He tried it on the
clergymen Of this city last Saturday
and declares the congregations of the
different churches report exception
ally good sermons One member Of
Mr.. Morphys church reported the SER
mon Sunday morning was full of vim
but was shorter than usual. Another
churchgoer stated that Mr. Robinson s
sermons We're full of yigor but he was
anxious to hurry. DR.. Halls COngre-
CATION was treated to two splendid
sermons. The report from Mr.. Dick 5
church was to the effect that no ap-
parent difference was to be seen but
Mr.. Seaton declares his friend Dick
is so long that it will no doubt need
two weeks before there will be any
favorable results.
Another test will be made and
should the recipe prove effective the
churches will no doubt take up a
special contribution to purchase a sup.
ply of the product.
Now this is not saying anything
against the ministers who are all
known as good sermonizers, but Mr.
Seaton wants to improve good thing
Just ask him how il was done

PLEASED WITH WASHINGTON

D. C. Wykoft who returned last
Week from an extended visit at North
Yakima and other points in Washing
ton, has given us the following inter
esting facts about the country. North
Yakima is situated in about the center
OF the state and is especially city
of fruit trees. The bottom lands next
to the river are said to produce the
finest fruit in the world. but the crop
is light one this year on account of
late frost. On the uplands fruit is
most plentiful. Knob Hill is especially
noted for the abundance of its fruit of
almost all kinds. Apples, peaches,
pears, plums, apriCots and nectarines
grow in abundance. Figs and dates
do not grow in the Yakima valley but
there is not much else in the way of
fruit that does not do well there. Land
on Knob Hill sold last fall at from
81 800 TO $4,000 an acre mile and a
half from the depot
They have wonderful sawmil
there that cuts from five to six hun
dred thousand shingles day besides
125.000 feet of other lumber. The
engine which runs the machinery is
700 hundred horse power. This mill
gives employment to a large number
of men.
At Bellingham, which is located
north OF Seattle. is the largest fish
cannery in the world 1t is an in
dustry of tremendous proportions, and
the product is shipped to all parts of
the world
Seattle also has number of saw
mills. beside numerous other large in
dustres and public works. Lake
Washington, suburb of Seattle, has
reservoir in its park which holds a
million and half gallons of water.
1t is filled in three and half hours
simply by setting little wheel going
in the pipe from the reservoir

TOOK ALL IN SIGHT

The tennis tournament held at Clark
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week
between the BrOokings, Watertown,
Clark and Bryant clubs, resulted in
complete walkover for Brookings.
In the doubles Prof. II. b. Mathews
and Van F. hback were easy winners,
and in the singles Van Fishback and
Prof. J. H. Nelson We're tied for first.
This tie will be played off here in the
next few days. The boys brought
home with them the two cups emble-
matte of the championships, and they
will be in the possession of the club
for the next year. The cups which
al bank window, are certainly beauties
and worth striving for. They are OF
silver with ebony bases, and will have
the names OF the winners engraved on
them Those who went from here 70
Clark speak III the highest terms OF
their treatment at the hands of the
Clark club. and will be delighted to
enjoy their hospitality at some future
time. The tournament was held under
the auspices Of the Inter-City Tennis
association consisting of the clubs oi
the above named towns. This is a
new organization and already there
are a number of other towns in this
section asking for admission.

HORSE THIEF ESCAPED

Edward Belenger, the horse thief
who has been confine in the county
Jail the last month"; escaped from the
Jail Friday evening during the supper
hour. Belenger had finished his sup
per and was given the run of the cor
ridor for a little exercise few min
utes and when the sheriff returned ten
minutes later he had disappeared He
escaped through the door leading from
the Jail office to the cells in a most
ingenious fashion. The key had been
turned in the lock and left when the
door was closed and Belenger with
piece of iron, torn from his bed, reach
ed through the peekhole in the door
and turned the big key. 1t just hap
pened that nobody connected with the
Jail was in the room at the time and
he had clear field When his es-
cape was discovered the city police
helped in the search and every part
of the town in the vicinity of the
est trace OF him was found. Word was
sent to other towns, but up 70 last
night no word had been received At
the present time the country is full of
harvest hands, and it would be very
easy for Belenger to pass as one of
these apd make good his escape
Relenger was a medium-sized man,
weighing in the neighborhood OF 165
pounds, and was about thirty years
of age He is Canadian by birth,
but he says his parents live in Mas
sachussetts. He claimed to have a
wife and family in the east and it is
very probable that the will make his
way home some time within the next
few weeks. He was to come up for
trial at the term of court this week,
and as il was a clear case against him
he would surely have received a peni
tentiary sentence.
Belenger's offense was attempting
to get away with a team of horses
belonging to Peter Thompson, Volga
liyeryman, on August 5th. In company
with a companion he hired a team
from Thompson to drive to Brookings,
and Thompson sent along his son as
driver. When they We're a couple of
miles west of the city they hit the
boy on the head and rolled him from
the buggy. A couple of Volga citizens
were witnesses of the act and they
chased the men north few miles and
located them in cornfeld. Belenger
took the horses and struck off north
east, but was captured before he had
gone far. His companion escaped. by
going west to the railroad.
Belenger made an attempt to escape
few days after he was captured by
prying the bars of a window in the
corridor, but Sheriff Miles caught him
in the act and a close watch was kept
on him. His clever escape stamps him
as being a dangerous man to have at
large and it is to be regretted that
he will not get a chance to do time.

CHICKENS ARE SCARCE

Last Sunday was the first day of
the open season for chickens and
ducks, and the local sportsmen were
out in full force The chicken shoot
ing is very slim. in fact there is scarce
ly any at all. and there We're a great
many more hunting parties that did
not see sign Of a chicken than there
were that had shot at the festive
birds. County Treasurer Dressed and
Guy Youngberg did as we'll as any
body, getting seventeen during the
day. Joe Trees party got eleven and
Chas. and Will Nicholson five On the
other hand the duck shooting is excel
lent, and every pond and slough in the
country seems to be filled with them
Lake Campbell which in former years
was not good for duck shooting. is
this year alive with them. There
were about tweutW parties in the
slough south Of the bridge on the First
and every one got a good supply
The duck shooting at Oakwood is said
to be above the average. and Brook
ings sportsmen will have TO confine
themselves to that class of hunting
this fall. The chicken hunting looks
to be a thing of the past in this coun-
try unless the legislature should take
some action to protect them The
spOrtsmen of the state could better
afford to lay Off hunting the birds for
year or two than 10 have them
driven out of the state for good.
