HELPS THE FARM BOYS.

The group picture on the front page
of this issue of the Register represents
the class in practical steam engineer
ing at the State college. The total
enrolment in the class for the term
is fifty-four. These young men come
directly from the farms of the state
and they will return to the farm as
soon as their college work is com
pleted. They represent twenty-five
different counties in the state Kings
bury and Day county lead with the
largest number of representatives, hav
ing four each. while Brookings, Sphinx,
Miner and Moody counties come next
with three representatives each.
This class of young men, as the
names will signify, attend college pri-
imarily for the purpose of improving
themselves in the skill of operating
traction engines which have become
a very important factor in successful
farming. However, in addition to the
special instruction given along that par
ticular line of work they receive in
struction in blacksmithing and mechan-
ical drawing, two of the most useful
and valuable handicrafts of the pres
ent day They also receive instruction
in arithmetic, algebra, physics and civil
government, thus laying the founda-
tion for more humanitarian activities
that are so essential in a successful
career. While attending college these
young men in addition to attending to
their work, take an active part in all
college enterprises and activities, thus
putting in action many of the forces
that tend to the upbuilding and devel-
opment of the best there is in char
acter. These same college activities
will due time prove to- be the foun-
dation upon which the more noble
humanitarian activities of real life will
be enacted.
While this class is apparently large,
there is always room for more. Only
twenty-five counties of the state are
represented in the present class and
several of these counties have only
one student to their credit:
We believe that young men who can
, not possibly take a more extended
course in college, could do no better
than to spend a few months at the
State college, taking some of the work
offered that tends so effectually to the
/ betterment' of farm life. The small
cost involved is insignificant as com
| pared with the benefits derived. In
addition to increasing their mechanical
skill and thus doubling or even trebling
their earning capacity, they come in
contact with other people as never be-
/ fore. They get broader and nobler
view of life and existing social condi-
! tions that will be of untold benefit to
them for all time.

NEW LAND FOR
HOMESTEADERS
THREE MILLION ACRES TO BE
OPENED NET FALL.
THE BEST EVER OFFERED
INDIANS WELCOME COMING OF
THE WHITE MAN.

Not since the day when the saga
cious William Penn bought Pennsyl-
vania from his red friends has there
been a deal made which was quite
so satisfactory to the Indians as that
whereby the white man will be given
possession of that magnificent stretch
of territory now included in the Chey-
enne River and Standing Rock reser-
vations, which is to be opened to set
tlement during the coming fall.
The Sioux who do the freighting for
the cattlemen to the west of lie Beau
are not only reconciled to the deal
they made with Maj Mclaughlin for
ceding their lands to the government
but they feel assured that they have
laid the foundation for their fortunes.
generation ago they were fight
ing with scalping knives to keep the
whites out of their country. They
held to the reserve just across the
river from lie Beau with tenacity
that demonstrated their love of the
soil. For a hundred years these Te-
ton Sioux had held this country as
their choicest hunting ground; the
land of their fathers and the favorite
pasture of their buffalo, they clung to
long after they had left the way open
into the Black Hills and the great
hunting grounds on the Republican
river in the Big Horn country.
Now they are tribe of traders and
farmers; their young men do the
freighting for the cattlemen and ride
the ranges for them. There are scores
of young men just past middle age
who have rich farms west of the river
who, thirty odd years ago, were among
the fiercest Of the followers of Sitting
Bull when he made his last stand on
the Little Big Horn and destroyed
Custer and his men. They regard the
coming of the white man to settle on
the 100000 acres they have ceded
as the one thing necessary to give
their own holdings substantial value,
and they have held many pow-wows
during the winter in which they dis
cussed the means of making the open
ing of the reservation profitable to
themselves.
This land TO be opened next fall
will attract a greater concourse of
people than has ever been seen at
a like event. The immense territory to
be opened, and its fertility, has al
ready impressed prospective settlers
to the extent of bringing lot of peo-
pie to that point. OF course, no one
will be allowed on the reservation
until it has been formally opened;
but there has been good deal of
spying on the promised land this win

OVER $4,000
NOW PLEDGED
FOR THE sRookINGs Y. M. c. A.
BUILDING.
FARMERS ARE TO ASSIST
CITIZENS IN MAKING SUCCESS
OF MOVEMENT.

Safely past the half way mark, the
\. NJ. c. A. fund is being pushed
up daily toward the $4,000 mark.
Less than fifty rames are down on the
subscription list and the committee
after careful consideration Of the lists
OF possible contributors to the fund.
I recognize that fact that the one thing
! necessary to success in raising the
entire $40000 is to see the people.
! Several more subscriptions of $500
are expected and there is no reason
why the $3.50 list should not be in
creased to twenty-five or thirty. Sew
eral young men working on salaries
OF $50 to SO month have pledged
! Sl00 each. The militia boys expect to
| give 5000 or more, the captain giving
a starter of $l00
| The committee is looking for gener-
GUS cooperation from the farmers. as
the building will be as much to them
as TO the citizens of Brookings. Men
! from the country will find the Associa-
tion building a convenient place to
drop i'll for an odd hour and farmers
sons can enjoy the rooms I'm the VIM
ter season. A farmers debating club
may be made an interesting feature.
Institutes for both men and women will
be an attractive feature.
|
especially for farmers wives and
daughters will be greatly appreciated.
This will be open for all women, with
no expense to any of them. Wash
rooms, toilet conveniences, writing
tables, reading matter, etc, will be
available at all hours every day in the
week. This room and other rooms
in the building will always be open
for women's committee meetings as
tl.ey are called for various public pur-
poses.
Up in Manitoba, when the city cf
Brandon Y. M. G. A. fund was being
raised, the subscriptions of farmers
aggregated nearly $4,000. The Bran
don building was opened in 1906 at a
cost of $4,000. At York, Nebraska,
and other points the people of the
city and country are united in the Y.
NJ. C A. enterprise. Since the privi-
leges of the Association will be open
to all, the committee n charge of the
campaign wishes to make this Brook
ings county affair. To this end every
farmer within ten miles of the county
seat will be given an opportunity to
nave share.
1t is a big undertaking to raise
100000, but the merits of the propo-
sition are such that it can and will
be done. If every man and woman who
ought to help, will come forward and
do the fair and generous thing the
whole sum will be subscribed and
Brookings will have the honor of be-
ing the first city in South Dakota to
provide a Y. NJ. c. A. building. This
is a public enterprise for the good of
all. Therefore let every man respond
generously and put Brookings in line
with the $50 other cities having AS
sociation buildings.

was resumed at an early hour, and
regular schedules caught up before !

Smoky City struggled the best way
they could against poor shuttle steam
trains and poorer dray carryalls. The
poor man walked. the w~ell-to-do
walked and the affiuent walked. There
was no alternative.
1t is a seeming complete victory for
the men. Every point was conceded
by the company, save that of drinking
when in uniform. even though off duty.
The men had claimed a mar had the
right to drink If he saw fit after his
days work was done, but this was de-
MED by the company, and a motorman
caught drinking after his days work
was discharged. This case will be sub
mitted to the arbitration.
The company agreed to reimburse a
motorman laid off six days for not as

FERRERO OPTIMISTIC
AS TO AMERICA.
Historian Does Not See Social
Catastrophe Ahead.

PARIS, June 2~s.-Signor Guglielmo
Ferrero, the Italian historian who Wis
tied the United States last veal con-
inues the publication in the Figaro
today of his comments on the anti
plutocratic movement in America. He
calls attention again to the lack OF
organized resistance on the part of the
rich, which he explains by a general
recognition on their part hat the
movement has been provoked by real
abuses, which must be corrected. Many
wealthy people sympathize with this
movement openly. and some sons of
rich men have thrown themselves into
the fight. This act the writer con
siders to be another proof of the en-
durance of idealism in America, where
the basis of everything Is the theoreti-
cal rule of the majority.
Signor Ferrero Is of the opinion that
the picture painted by Maxim Gorky
and others of the vicious rich Ameri-
can oligarchy cringing before the
masses is He does not fore
see a social catastrophe.
