 Herr Colesmann, general manager Of the new airship company; Chief En' gineer Duers of the Zeppelin company and Capt Wannenburg, who person ally had charge of the crew of ten and 20 newspaper men, sailed from Dusseldorf at S:30 o'clock for a three hours excursion The objective point was Dortmund, about 35 miles .rom Dusseldorf, but a high wind prevailed and an effort was made to reach Munster, garrison town, so that a landing might be made on the parade ground by the aid of the soldiers. II was realized that 1t would require a irage number of them to hold the vast contrivance of silk and metal against the wind.
 Dangerous to Attempt Landing.
 It was dangerous to attempt land ing in an open field because of the storm as the metal was likely to pound to pieces. Tn the high wind one of the motors refused to work and the other two were not powerful enough to make any progress in the gale. The airship drifted, swsying in the violent gusts and sometimes leaning to an angle of 40 degrees

WEEKS
LAND COMMISSIONER CLOSE
BRINkER ONLY WINS OUT BY A
MAJORITY OF FiFTY-FOUR.

The final figures of the republican
candidates in the primary were ecur-
ed Thursday and show that the peo-
pie believe in allowing first termers
to get a second show. Johnson, pro-
gressive candidate for attorney gene
raj, made his fight as the young mems
candidate and gets not only the larg-
est majority but the largest vote of
n man on either ticket in the race.
The difference between Brinker, pro-
gressive, and Foster, stalwart, for the
position of land commissioner was so
close that the canvassing board check
ed back over the returns to be certain
that they had made no error and
Brinker gets the place by fifty-four
majority. The vote on governor is
practically 10000 more than any other
candidates.
The vote for governor is shown by
counties by the official count to be
the following figures, giving Wesley
26,372, Elrod 20,335, and Egan 21.44S,
which gives Wesley a plurality OF
1926 over Egan, and 6,O37 over Elrod.

CHANGE At HOSPITAL.

An important deal in local medical
circles was consumated this week,
when Drs. Hyde, Miller, Stoll, Green
and Roys took over the management
of the BrOokings hospital, which has
been in charge of DR.. F. f. Boyden
since it was opened. DR.. Boyden dis
posed of his interest in the hospital
to the Brookings Hospital company,
which in turn leased 1t to the above
mentioned doctors. DR.. Boyden leaves
tonight for Hepner, Oregon, where he
has a most excellent opening for the
practice of his profession, being as
ISOLATED in hospital work with an old
acquaintance.
During the time he has been located
here DIR. BOyden has enjoyed a fine
practice and has built UP the hospital
to a point where it is recognized as
one of the best in this section, but
the opportunity in his new location
was such an excellent m that he
could not afford in justice to himself
to remain here.
DIR. Boyden disposed Of his practice
to DR.. A. II. Stoll, who has been his
assistant the past two years and who
enjoys the confidence and esteem OF
our people.
The management of the hospital is
in worthy hands and we predict for
it a new era of prosperity. 1t Is pos
sible later OIL the Catholis Sisters will
take charge of it, although that part
has not been definitely settled.
Mrs. Boyden and little son departed
sunday night for Golden. Colo, to WIS.,
it with her sister, Mrs. w. F. Allison.
They will be joined there by DR.. Boy
den and will proceed to their new home
at Hepner. Mrs. Mary Boyden expects
to remain here until the fall and will
then join her son and family at Hep
ner. The many friends Of these two
good families will regret their de-
parture from Brookings and they will
carry with them the best wishes Of
the community.

FOR A NEW COURT HOUSE.

At the opening of court last week
Philo Hall circulated a petition among
those in attendance asking the county
commissioners to put the question of
a new court house before the people
at the coming election in November.
Mr.. Hall tells us that every n he
approached with the petition, including
Jurors, witnesses and court officers.
readily signed it and expressed their
approval.
Since the question OF a new court
house was voted upon a few years ago
the sentiment seems to have changed,
AS every one who visits the old shack
in which the county business is trans
acted recognizes the need of a new
building. IL for no other reason than
the proper protection OF valuable coun-
ty records. There Is no question but
what a fire would destroy the fimsy
vaults now used to store the records,
in which case 1t would probably cost
the county more in litigation than a
new court house. The government is
going to spend $4,000 in the city of
Brookings to properly house the gov
ernmental department, the p~ostof1ce,
which keeps no records OF any great
value, and it does look as though the
great and rich county Of Brookings
could properly care for its valuable
records.
The question will no doubt be con-
siderably agitated between now and
November and we don't see how a
single property owner In the county
who looks into the situation a be
against It. That old shack up the
street is a disgrace to the county and
the sooner 1t is pulled down the bet
ter.
