A Thieves Quarrel

The tin plate makers OF this country

over the division Of tariff spells. A
hundred thousand tons Of tin plate bars
have been sold by the steel trust for de-
livery in Wales at $!l.9O. Allowing S4.1O
Tor the cost Of shipping che product, the
price at the mile is Sl781, while the
price to American consumers ls 500.
Naturally the tin plate makers view
tie action OF the steel trust with dis
pleasure. The tin plate makers demand
ed, and received, through the Dngley
tariff law, special protection which they
did not need at all. The steel trust Or
ganizers Jared likewise. The latter have
now succeeded in employing the tariff
law to deliver foul blow to one Of their
best patrons.
This is case where the ancient adage
touching upon the subject OF bonor

STATE COLLEGE DEFEATED

The college basket ball team re-
turned home Saturday night from their
trip to the north part of the state,
where they played Aberdeen and Red
field. They were defeated at Aber-
deem Friday evening by a score of 81
to IS. but won from Redfield at Red
field Saturday afternoon, the score be-
ing IL to so. The boys state that they
We're clearly outplayed at Aberdeen,
the strange floor making a handicap
to Brookings too big to overcome, but
they were nicely treated by the Aber
deem people.
At Redfield there was a good, fast
game, but the BrOokingS team showed
itself to be superior in all depart
ments. The score at the end OF me
first half was Is to 16 in favor of
Brookings, and i'm the second half
they started in early and accumulated
big lead.
From the Aberdeen Daily News we
get the following account of the game
with the Normal team
The n. \. & L. S. basketball team

tional plays. Larson threw two bas-
kets from the middle of the field, and
in making the first, the ball never
touched the rim of the basket in 60
ing through. The BroOkings men also
showed their ability to make baskets
from a distance and, in fact nearly
all of their points were made from
positions at considerable distance
from the baskets, as the close guard
ing of the Normal prevented their
getting the ball near.
The victory of last night shows
clearly the superiority of the Normal
team, but it will take third game
to technically give the Normal full
title to Tie championship, and it is
probable that a third game will be
played at Redfield in the near future.
The statement of Doble, the coach of
the y. ID. A. c. that the Normal could
not be beaten on its own floor by any
team in the northwest seems to be
verified by last nights game.

Misrepresentation and Fraud Again Rebuked by the Intei

SCHOOL BUILDINGS SAFE
Supt. Brown Informs Register Every
Precaution is Being Taken

The Register phone rang Monday
morning and in responding Prof
Brown, superintendent of the city
schools said:
Since the terrible disaster at
Cleveland, Ohio many have inquired
as to the safety of the Brookings pub
lie school building and | know of no
better way to assure the patrons of
the safety of the same than for you
to say word in the Register
Superintendent Brown says that all
the doors in both large buildings open
out. that he is making thorough eX-
animation and that all rubbish and
everything which might cause spOntan
eous combustion will be removed at
once.
The Superintendent of the electric
light plant is going over both build
ines to examine the wiring and see
that all couplings and connections are
covered to prevent. fire originating
from that source.
As both buildings are heated from
the central plant some distance away
there can be no disaster from boiler
explosion or fire from overheated
pipes, so that the only way fire could
originate would be from matches

Wing whenever they are found.
Since the Cleveland disaster the
Register has been complimented for-its
efforts in removing the hazard of eX-
plosion and fire from the unsafe heat
ing system underneath the main build
ing Some of the patrons then
thought this paper was over Jealous
but recent examples of what might
happen here has changed public SEN
timent and the wisdom of the course
pursued by the school board is now
acknowledged.
When one thinks of the horror of
the Cleveland fire and of the little in
nocents who gave up their lives
through carelessness of the school Of
ficers, money spent in the way of tax
ing precaution against such terrible
catastrOphies disappears as naught.
To blame the janitor for that di-
saSter when he lost three little ones
in the fire is a terrible thing.
The school officers who are supposed
to be custodians of the property ought
to be held responsible for not look
ing after such things so long as there
are no inspectors.
Brookings is fortunate in having
school officers who look after the safe
ty and health of our little ones re-
gardless of the expenditure of few
more dollars.

PROF. HANSEN'S DISCOVERY
South Dakota Scientist Finds a New
Type of Hardy Alfalfa.

Washington Post: Prof. NielS f..
whose efforts Turkestan alfalfa was
first imported to this country, has
been in Washington attending the
meetings of the breeders association,
Prof. Hansen has made three trips to
Russia, on one of which he came
near lOosing his life in a blizzard
when 1000 miles from a railroad
"On all my trips to Russia | have
found the Russians very friendly to
American citizens, and generous and
kind in their treatment of strangers,
said Prof. Hansen at the New Willard
last night. "On my last trip | found a
new type of hardy alfalfa, which it is
hoped will prove of immense value to
the farmers of the western prairie
states in their efforts to conquer the
great American desert. This alfalfa
grows at a point 1000 miles farther
north than the ordinary alfalfa, the
blue flowered variety, which was
brought to this country by the Span
iards many years ago. AS this new
variety of alfalfa is an excellent for
age plant, it is believed that the alf-
alta belt will be extended, ultimately,
on the American continent as far
north as we shall care to farm. prov
ing, therefore. of much benefit to the
agriculturists of Canada as to those
of the United States. At present there
is not an ounce of this seed to be
had. 1t cannot be purchased. But we
are carrying on experiments with
plants and they are making good
growth. Next year we hope to de-
termine more as to the value of the
plant in our northwestern states.
The many failures in farming in
the cold. semiarid regions of the west
are due to the fact that the plants
cultivated were from milder climates.
1t is folly to farm in a cold, dry eli
mate with wet, warm climate plants.
This Is a fundamental proposition.
The farmers of America have spent
hundreds of millions. of dollars in a
vain effort to acclimatiZe certain
plants. Those farmers who are at
tempting to acclimate the alfalfa
brought from Africa by the Spaniards
to the conditions of our prairie north
west are starting a l0,000-year job,
which is, Of course, impossible of COM
pletion. My trips to Russia were for
the purpose of trying to find hardy
alfalfa that would solve the problem.
After a lapse of nine years from the
time 4 took my first trip took up the
trail where | left off, with the result
that I think We have discovered a
plant that will yield immeasurable
benefit to the country

have been busy at work in the gym

Never in the history of this state
has there been such an interest taken
in the election of delegates to ma

cause of this was because Senator
A. b. Kittredge left his duties at
Washington and began stumping the
state thus showing that for some rea-
son he wanted to secure a delegation
to the national convention which
would be composed of his friends and
presumably of re-actionary complex
