MOVING RIGHT ALONG
Work on Electric Line is Progressing
Nicely, Fair Weather Helps

Grading on the electric line south
of Brookings was delayed two or three
days last week by wet weather, but
this week it has gone rapidly forward
The big grader reached Medary Tues
day, and by the end of the week teams
which follow the machine and com
plete the work will have reached that
point. The company is very fortunate
in regard to the weather, and if it
continues nice until Thanksgiving a
great deal will be accomplished. From
Medary the grade will run southeast
across the section and from there
south, crossing Medary creek, near
Thompson and from there south to
Bedding bridge, where it crosses the
Sioux. Unless the weather should re-
main nice until the first of the year
the company will not attempt to lay
the steel until spring. But as soon
as the weather opens up in March
large crews of men will be set at work.
The company has another crew of
men grading north from Egan, and
while good progress is being made the
country is rOugher for the first few
miles and consequently the work takes
more time. No large cuts will have
to be made any where on the line be-
tween here and Egan, but q number

The college football team was de-
feated by the University of North Da-
kota at Grand Forks last Friday after
noon the score being "A to 6. Outside
of the first part of the first half the
BrOOkings team was Outplayed by their
veteran opponents. Meharg, made the
Brookings touchdown by a 80 yard
run after picking up tumble. Conmy
of North Dakota, kicked two goals
from the field. A dispatch to the Min
neapolis Tribune from Grand Forks
gives the following account of the
game:
The South Dakota Agricultural col
lege football team was defeated by
he University Cf North Dakota yeatcr-
day afternoon by a score of 24 10 6.
The University played a good game
and was greatly strengthened since
the defeat inflicted by Carlton.
"Meharg for the "Aggies," picked
up the ball on a tumble of North Da-
kota in the first two minutes of play
and ran 30 yards for a touchdown.
About the middle of the first half
South Dakota tried a forward pass.
Martineau, OF North Dakota, got the
ball for a touchdown after a 80 yard
run. An attempt to kick goal failed
With only few minutes to play North

the best ever seen on a local field

kicking of Schmidt, the North Dakota

game. South Dakota made the first

PIANO LECTURE-E ECITAl
A Pleasing Entertainment at Grand
Friday Evening Nov. IS

Edward Baxter Perry, concert pian-
ist and lecturer, will give a piano lee
ture-recital at the Grand opera house
Friday evening, November Is.
Mr.. Perry is the originator and chief
representative of the Pianoforte Lee
ture-recital, of which he has given fif.
teen hundred in the United States in
the past twelve years. His plan is to
preface each composition with a brief
talk, calling attention to its descrip-

the circumstances Of its origin, thus
rendering it doubly interesting be.

| give brief synopsis of the scene,
of which this music is ut once an ac-
compartment and a picture.
"A company of village maidens, in
Il seaport town in Holland, is assem-
bled of winter evening to spin. 1t is
to be a semi-social, semiuseful gather
ing, much like the old quilting parties
of our grandmother time. and they
are all in the best of spirits.
They start the wheels, but some
thing is wrong apparently the thread
breaks or tangles, and two or three
times they are obliged to stop, wait a
moment and re-commence, till finally
all runs smoothly. and the buzz and
hum of the swift-rolling wheels be-
come continuous. This orchestral imi-
tation of the spinning wheel is a piece
of very graphic realism, and in the
piano arrangement is given almost
equally well in the left hand accom-
paniment, while the right hand carries
in chords the chorus of the spinning
maidens, as they sing at their work,
a bright, joyous, rhythmical song, full
of gaiety and wit, as shown by occa
sional Interruptions of bursts of merry
laughter.
"In the very midst of their iollity
they are startled in an abrupt silence
by the omnous sound of single horn
close by, and they suspend their work
to listen. The horn rings out clear and
strong, peculiar, impressive signal,
which they know and dread as that
Of the Flying Dutchman.' Surely he
is about to land, perhaps is already
on shore and approaching; and then
comes IA frenzy of panic. Work is
flung aside, wheels overturned in the
confusion, and the girls scatter in
mad terror in all directions; and with
this wild fight, this almost ludicrous
furry and scurry, ends this transcript
tiOn for the piano,
with this story in mind, even
those quite unfamiliar with the music
cannot fail TO recognize and follow
the successive details of the scene de-
scribed; the whir and hum of the
spinning wheels, the chorus of sing
ing maidcns, the entrance Of the sign
al horn, with it's echo, and the terror
that follows, the repetition of these
incidents in growing climax, and the
mad confusion and scamper at the
close"

SITE FOR NEW TOWN
Northwestern Ry. Purchases Land
West Of VoIga

j. II. Burchard, of Marshall, land
agent for the Northwestern, was in
the city last week and purchased the
land just east of Dry Lake upon which
the company secured an option some
time ago. The land belonged to Mrs.
Truman and consists of two strips
across the entire quarter-the one on
the north of the track being 100 feet
wide and the one on the south 200
feet wide. Mr.. Burchard informed
Mayor Dalthorp, Mrs. Truman's agent,
that he did not know the company's
intention regarding the land purchase,
but presumed that town would be
plated there some time In the future.
If the North Western cares anything
for the future welfare of the old estab-
lished towns on its system, it will use
this land simply for side-track pur-
poses and not attempt to establish a
new town.-Volga Tribune.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

From the time when the American
Colonies had population of three
million struggling people, paying tri-
