ELECTRIC LINE TALK
Is Strong and There is Much Likelihood That Project May
Go ThrOuuh
bROOKINGS' CITIZENS SHOULD BOOST
AS This Line Would Prove of InCdCudbe Benefit to Our
City and Vicinity

There are substantial evidences OF
movement to construct an electric
line from Mitchell 10 Salem thence
northeast to Madison and from the lat,
ter city to Brookings
Already meetings have been held
by capitalists OF Salem, Mitchell and
Madison, including the bankers of
those places, and while an attempt
was made to get our people interested
he correspondence seems to have been
pigeOn-holed and was not brought for
ward until last week. However, this
delay on the part of Brookings has
been explained, and another meeting
will be called in few days to per-
feet plans, when it is hoped that this
city will be properly represented.
The project is backed by men who
have plenty OF money to see their
enterprise develop into reality and
certainly not only the towns along the
proposed route but the farmers as we'll
should give every possible aid
On an air line Mitchell is about
thirty-five miles from Salem. Madison
is twenty-five miles from Salem, and

FIRST ANNUAL MAY FESTIVAL
Held at Br0okingS was a Marked
Success.
MUCH CREDIT DUE THE PROMOTERS
SoloiStS We're In Good Voice and the
ChOruSeS Above the Averaue

The Brookings May festival wound
up III a blaze OF glory on Friday even
ing The attendance was good the
music was good and the audience in
hh@ humor. Every number was Ell.
Enthusiastically received. There were
nearly one hundred singers and music
lans on the stage in the last nights
performance and every body is wond.
ertully pleased with its success.
The soloists were in good voice and
sang with great effect. j Austin
Williams has IA fine tenor voice, strong
and of great range He sings with
great confidence and ability and made
many friends. Mrs Bernice Smith
hagman has fine soprano and sang
her part we'll but seemed to lack the
confidence Of Mr.. Williams. Pro. Lou
denback, who has Il sweet. rich bari.
tone carried his part with the same
smoothneSs that always CharacteriZes
his work, and the choruseS were well
executed. The presence OF the Mimi.
eapoliS Symphony Quartet was a
great addition To the Instrumental part
of the program and the enjoy mort Of
the occesion was further augmented by
their Independent numbers and the
performance of Carlo Fischer, the cell
10 SOiOiSt.
The Thursday evening program was
given over eutire!y to the Minneapolis
Symphony Quartet and Mrs. Alma
1ohnson-Porteous, contra'to, also of
Minneapolis I.
II the Symphany Quarcet had any
doubts as to their rec ,ption by a
Brookings audience they wore soon
dissipated upon the rendition Of
couple OF the first numbers on the
program, The quartet are all artists
and certainly sustained their reputa-
tion as musicians of ability. Mr..
Fischer and Mr.. Hoeyel were repeated
~ recalled.
Mrs. PorteOus was probably as much
surprised at her warm reception as
the audience was by her rich and
beautiful cOntralto. The lady sings
with an ease and power that distin.
guishes the highly cultivated singer
and lover of music. and her re-
peated recalls indicated with what ap-
preciatlon 1t was received.
Altogether the festival was great
success and will undoubtedly encour-
age the promoters to not only continue
them in the future but stimulate them
10 greater efforts in procuring talent
that Is heard only in the larger cities.

Brookings is about thirty miles from
Madison. Sioux Falls is forty miles
east OF Salem. About fifty miles
would be saved by going over the
electric line from this city to Salem
and then by steam cars to Sioux
Falls rather than by way of IroQuois.
This would bring Brookings in close
touch with Madison on the Milwaukee,
Salem on the Omaha and North West
ern and Mitchell which has both the
Milwaukee and Omaha, and give this
city the benefit of all the lines mention
ed over what we now have. Besides
this we understand that Mitchell pro-
poses to extend the line west to the
Missouri river.
II is being talked here to extend the
road via White and Hendricks, to Mar
shall, Minn., and thus furnish another
outlet to the Twin Cities.
This proposed plan ought not in any
manner affect the electric line which
has been surveyed from this city to
Sioux Falls, direct, but on the other
hand 1t would In our opinion, serve
as feeder and in the end prove a
benefit. Let everybody boost.

Will Vote on Law

Enough oignerS have been secured
to invoke the referendum on the law
passed last winter prohibiting Sunday
base ball, and a vote will be taken on
the law at the next election. The
scarcity OF ball teams in the state this
year is attributed to the passing of
this law, most OF the towns being
afraid 10 put a team in the field with
out getting the Sunday receipts. The
Brookings Reds played but one or two
Sunday games in this state last year,
and still paid out pretty we'll at the
end OF Tho season. However. the Sun
day games at Minneapolis We're a big
