ELECTRIC RAILWAY MATTER
IS Cause OF Meeting Held in Opera
House Saturday Evening
PROSPECTS SEEM MOST BRIGHT
And Construction Will Not Long Be
Delayed II All VIII Help

The Brookings and Sioux Falls
Electric Railway company held a meet
ing at the opera house Saturday even.
ing for the purpose Of interesting the
people OF the city in their line. The
weather was inclement, heavy rain
falling during the early part of the
evening, but in spite of this there was
a good attendance. James Wallace,
representing the II. J. Fots Co., which
will finance the road, was present and
outlined plan by which it is hoped
to put the road in successful opera
ton. He stated that in order to get
the necessary eastern financial back
ing the peopleof Brookings and along
the proposed route would have to show
their faith in the enterprise and it is
proposed to sell locally at least $50 900
worth OF seven per cent preferred
stock. When this is done the COM
pany will go ahead with the construc-
ton OF the line. Mr.. Wallace has been
at work this week and is having very
good success in disposing OF the stock.

A Question Answered

At the railroad meeting held Satur-
day evening, the question was asked
by farmer: What has the business
men OF Brookings done for Brookings2
Name one single thing" Just to
satisfy the curiosity Of some who may
not know and to keep the record
straight we will name few things the
business men and citizens of Brook
ings have done for Brookings viz:
The townsite would never have been
located here il it had not been for the
pioneers who fought to the last ditch
to have the station located where it
now stands.
Had it not been for the energy OF
the business men and citizens, who "a
individuals subscribed for and bought
eight acres OF ground and presented
the same to the state, the State College
OF Agriculture and Mechanic Arts
would not have been located here in
1882.
The only court house Brookiugs
county ever owned was built by money
furnished by the business men of
BrookiDgs and the ground on which
il stands was secured through the
same agency.
The beautiful church buildings in
this city are monuments to the energy
OF the business men and citizens who
aided financially in their construction.
The municipal electric lighting
power, steam heating, waterworks and
telephone systems are also the result
OF the energy and foresight of the
business men and citizens of Brook.
ings.
The commodious opera house in
which the railroad meeting was held
Saturday evening is the result of
much self-sacritice on the part of the
business men and citizens,
The fact is that the business men of
Brookings have done much more for
Brookings county than Brookings
county has done for herself, but there
Is no disposition on the part OF the
liberal spirited business men and
citizens OF this place to crawl into
their shells because they have done so
much. Our country friends will find
that goodly portion of the business
men OF Brookings stand ready to go
even beyond their means to assist in
boosting any legitimate public enter
prise that presents itself.

Collected Mud

Ivy Lees and Harry Williams were
at Elkton few minutes last week and
on the way 4 couple of days. They
report a pleasant time. Several of the
recent cloudbursts made the roads
leading to that enterprising city but
little better than quagmires and when
one OF the wheels went out Of sight
into a chuckhole, why Mr.. Lees
plunged over the dashboard and out
OF sight into the mud. As several
acres of the county had by this time
become attached to the buggy and Mr..
Leese the team could not extricate the
conveyance, so the young gentlemen
removed their shoes and sox and after
much labor removed the rig from the
bog. They removed the mud from
their persons when they arrived home.
