value Of A
COLLEGE

Dr.. E. L. Dawson, who is taking a
deep interest in locating the Baptist
university here, has received a letter
from President Brooks Of Baylor un-
iversity at Waco, Texas, in reply to
his question, "What is the value of a
college to a community, in which
Mr. Brooks says in part:
provided the community is itself
in sympathy with the undertaking a
college can thrive, other things being
equal. The college canot live unless
it has an abiding cooperation once
and forever. In return the college
or university brings to the commun-
ity men and women of scholarship
with world wide views OF questions
state and national, men and women
whose influence in religion and state
counts for the upbuilding of the race.
They stimulate the literary atmos-
phere and culture in music and fine
arts.
perhaps that which will be more
satisfying to the ordinary Business
Mems club will be that they spend
their money where they live, each pro-
fessor having his own home, rearing
his family and paying his own bills.
In addition perhaps each student will
spend from 5000 to $500 apiece in the
course Of year where the school is
located This Of course depends upon
the tastes, habits and purses Of the
student 1t is good for town to
know that there are other things help
full than mercy money getters.
My impression is that you will do
the proposed college a great service
as well as your people by showing
them that when they get college 1t
will cost them money in many ways
but that the return will be great in
character and much greater than in
money.
Very truly yours,
S. p Brooks,
President

COMMUNICATIONS

At times, the h%ounderings Of
colossal ignorance to gain the
attention OF the public are truly
amusing. on April 23rd, that capable
lecturer and eminent divine, DR..
John Merritte Driver, gave an interest
ing and instructive lecture in the
Brookings Opera House on the subject,
"America Facing The Far East"
Our picturesque, though by no mean
illustrious photographer attended this
lecture and in his hidebound ignorance
pronounced it an intensely humorous
lecture. While DR.. Driver certainly
made some very humorous remarks,
and would probably have made more
ii he had seen Jerome, his lecture
was not OF a nature to be called strictly
humorous. 1t seems as il a man of
reason and common sense would at
leass be able to distinguish between
Josh Billings and David C. Cook,
but Jerome seems to be even more
ignorant than the countryman he
mentioned in his article in the
"REGIsTER" OF April 25th. Jerome
made no statements in this article
which are worthy OF special notice.
The whole thing only went to show
how very disagreeable an obscure
photographer with only meat enough
on his bones to bait a mousetrap and
a chronic arrangement OF the liver,
could be.

The domestic application Of cleo
tricity is being featured by the General
Electric Company at the jamestown Ex-

OF the civilized world for the past few
months, and the Importance OF the
movement is evidenced by the fact that
nearly a hundred different electrical
household devices are being manu.ae-
tured today.
The electrical kitchen will be one OF
the chief attractions on the grounds.
Competent young ladies will be in
charge and the visitors will be offered
plenty OF good things to eat while they

welsh rarebits from the electrical
chafng dish; electrically broiled
steaks steamed eggs; tea and toast,
and hundreds OF other dsinties cooked
on the wooden stove over invisible
fires.
OF course there are many other
household applications OF electricity
shown, such as the motor driven
washer and wringer, sewing machine,
ice cream freezer, grinders, polishers,
pumps, fans, etc. There are also on
exhibition the electric heating pads,

TO Be LINKED WITH PACIFIC
This City May Yet Be On Through
Coast Line
NV, To- EXTEND west FROM HILLS
This Would open Great Possibilities
For This Section

The Sioux Falls Daily Press says:
ton that leads the Pierre Dakotan to
believe that the capital OF South Da-
kota is located upon a line OF railroad
that is seeking q western terminus at
some point on the Pacific coast line.
A field force known to belong % the
Chicago d Northwestern engineering
department has been seen at work be.
tween Tacoma and Seattle. IN the vi
cinity Of Helena, Montana, represen-
atives OF the Chicago & Northwestern
are searching for a westward passage.
The railroad from Rapid City to
Mystic is said to be Chicago & North
western property and reports assert
that it is to be extended westward
through the Wyoming coal fields. Such
an extension could carry the road to a
junction with the Elkhorn division OF
the Northwestern, which terminates at
Nander, in the western part OF Wy0m-
ing.
All these reports are linked together
and q plausible through iline is con-
structed on paper and Pierre becomes
Immediately important.
The Northwestern is spending .
great deal OF money at Pierre, provid-
ing station and shop facilities more ex-
tensive than would be demanded mere
ly for the Rapid City extension and
putting in a costly viaduct for a bridge
approach.
Ex-Congressman Burke has given
the Press an idea OF the magnitude OF
the railroad Improvements at Pierre
and he is strong in the faith that the
railroad company has marked out An
important future for his home city.
The Northwestern has always kept
pace with its rival, the Milwaukee, and
tina Milwaukee is now at work closing
the gap between the Missouri river and
the Pacific. II is not unreasonable to
suspect the Northwestern Of a like de.
sign.
All OF South Dakota will hope that
Pierre has not, gone astrsy in its ex-
pectations.
