The Washington Trip.

At last, after years talking and plan
ming, early Friday morning, March 25, a
party of twelve left Island Pond for
Washington. 1t was a beautiful spring
day and the weather man promised good
weather for the trip south. AT Wells
River we we're nearly carried with the
Henderson party, but were finally res
cued by Mr.. Stiles and placed in the
special car of our own party. At White
River Junction We were delayed an hour
or two on account of burning bridge
somewhere on the Central Vermont rail-
road. This made it necessary to take a
later train out of Springfield. There
was plenty of snow when We left home.
We could see it disappear little by little
and by the time we reached Southern
Massachusetts, it had all gone. Supper
was waiting for us at the Russell House
in Springfield. After washing off a
small amount of CRIME We were refresh
ed by substantial meal served at long
tables. Our party now numbered two
hundred aud fifty. The train service
from Springfield to New York is excel
lent. At $50 we arrived at the Grand
Central station to be saluted by the sar-
castle cries of the New York high school
pupils who GO each year to meet the
senior excursionists on their washing
ton Trip The fact that our train was
over an hour late reduced the number
and the noise of our hosts. From the
Grand Central Station we went down
| Fourth Avenue until we reached Odd
Street. There we changed to cars that
took US to the 23d Street terminal OF
the Pennsylvania railroad. Opthe trir
across the city we saw the Flatiron
building and other points of interest. A,

INSTITUTES CALLED OFF.

Supt. Chamberlain of this city has
called off all farmers Institutes in
South Dakota for the present, and un
less the situation is improved materi-
ally no more meetings will be held
before March /. The reason for TINS
is apparent in a letter which Supt.
Chamberlain has sent out, a portion
of which follows:
lowing to the condition of travel
have found it almost imperative to
postpone the holding of any further
institutes until the snow settles and
travel becomes more certain. There
is so much snow alongside of the
railroad tracks that one hours wind
will blockade any of the lines run
ming east and west, and is liable to
even stop traffic on the north and
south lines, making it very uncertain
whether or lot we can get the speak
ers to their appointments.
Besides, the snow is so deep in the
country that to get a wind for a few
hours fills up all of the tracks and
makes it impossible for the farmers
to stay in town long enough to attend
an institute. AS soon as the snow
settles, making travel reasonably GER
tain and the country roads fairly pas
sable, l will rebill meetings from the
points where they were discontinued"

The annual convention and sale OF
the South Dakota improved live stock
and poultry breeders association is in
progress in ~Brookings this week. The
first meeting was held Tuesday even
ing and the association will come to
a close with this evenings meeting.
The attendance mas been very good,
considering the bad weather we have
been having the past week, and the
amount of stock brought in was large
when the condition of the railroads in
the state is taken into consideration.
The frequent blockades no doubt pre-
vented some stockmen from bringing
their animals, but there is enough
good stuff here to insure a fine sale.
About three hundred members of the
association had arrived in the city by
yesterday and the large numbers of
buyers present made up a fine attend
ance.
The first meeting was held at the
opera house on Tuesday evening.
there being an address Of welcome by
Mayor Leighty and a number of good
papers given.
Yesterday morning the visitors jour
neyed out to the college in spite of
the blizzard that was raging and spent
the morning looking i've the institu-
ton. They were shown the work be-
ing done in the different departments,
and or course were especially inter
ested in the farm and experiment sta
ton.
Yesterday afternoon the first sale
was held in the stock pavilion at the
fair grounds, which was made warm
and comfortable for the occasion.
Pure bred horses. sheep and swine
We're sold. The bidding was lively, as
the crowd was evidently appreciative
of the good stuff offered and every
thing brought a good price. Four stall
lions were sold. and one belonging to
Thos. Maher brought 1915. The sheep
averaged about twenty-five dollars and
ran as high as thirty and thirty-five
dollars. The hog sale vas a good one
and the offering was large. The black
hogs averaged $62 and ran as high as
$50, the white mes sold on an average
of $50 and the D~uroc-Jerseys brought
$50 on the average. The sale was in
charge of Col. Carey M. Jones, assist.
ed by several of the local auctioneers.
Last evening at the opera house the
visitors were entertained at a minstrel
show, which took up about IN hour of
their time, after which the regular pro.
gram for the evening was given.
After the entertainment and program
an informal smoker and luncheon was
rendered to the visitors by the citi-
zens, and a general good time was en-
joyed to a late hour.

A dispatch from Mitchell says of the
state corr show held there last week:
The state orn show adjourned late
Friday afternoon after holding a two
hours business session and the cleo
ton of officers. which resulted in some
thing of a spirited fight between SUI
~perintendent Chamberlain, of the farm
ers' institute board, and Secretary
Twambly of the corn show. Both
gentlemen set forth their position
with reference to the election of
Thursday and the remarks grew per-
s0nal, the secretary alleging that he
was kept in the dark as to the help
he was to receive in arranging
the show and other matters concern
ing the success of the show.
When it came to the nomination of
officers Chamberlain threw out some
strong ~insinuations concerning the
nomination of w. A. Wheeler for presi-
dent, claiming that Wheeler's connec-
ton with a seed company as mana
ger threw the association into com
mercialism, and that if he was elect
ed president Chamberlain would ad-
wise the institute board not to appro-
pirate one cent for the corn show
next year. Chamberlain's attitude was
resented by several members of the
association, holding that Wheeler's
honesty in such a matter was above
~insinuation. Mr.. Wheeler, however,
withdrew his name and the election
proceeded without further disturbance.
The following officers were elected,
who superseded those elected Thurs.

GRAfTERS MEET
AT
PROF. HANSEN TAKES PROMIN,
EMIT PART.
CORN SHOW AT MITCHELL
ENDS IN A ROW OVER THE ELEC-
TON OF THE OFFICERS.

The annual convention of the state
horticultural society was held at Yank-
ton last week, there being a large
attendance and good meetings. Prof.
n. f. Hansen of this city, was re-
elected secretary, a position which he
has held for years. The Yankton Her
aid says of the part taken by Brook
ings people on the program:
The twenty-first annual convention
of the horticulturalists of South Oak
ota opened its three days session yes
terday morning in the Court House,
and while all of it's meetings were
open to the public, the lectures in
the New theatre last evening were
the only events of the day that people
of the city, in general, felt free to
attend.
AS every one had heard of the great
things that Prof. n. T.. Hansen, OF
our state agriculture college, had been
trying to accomplish in the past few
years, an unusually large audience
assembled to hear what he had to re-
late concerning his work, and also TO
get an idea of the country in which
the professor had travelled. Prof.
Hansen has made four trips to Russia
in behalf of the L. S. department of
agriculture for the purpose of intro
ducing into this country, the Russian
winter does not kill, and is also noted
for the great nourishing elements
which it contains.
In giving his lecture, he used a
stereoscope, thus acquainting his hear
ers with the country, it's conditions
and the class of inhabitants. A large
number of views were thrown on the
screen which were exceedingly inter
esting from a historic point of view
and were very ably explained by the
lecturer. Although Prof. Hansen is
not a gifted talker his remarks were
good and the people gained consider
able knowledge of that great foreign
country, aside from the undertaking
on which he is now working. In clos
ing he paid a high tribute to the PEG.
pie Of that nation and pointed out to
his audience, that the American people
were greatly in error when they sided
in with the yellow race in the recent
Russian-Japanese war. After the lee.
ture he donned a few Of the costumes
worn by the people of that country
showing the manner of dress and the
various materials that are used in
clothing.
Prof. II. C. SEVERN. who is also con
nected with the State college, was the
next speaker introduced, and gave a
lecture on entomology, directing his
remarks largely TO the phase of the
horticultural side of this science. He
was also assisted by the stereoptican
slides, which he used to picture the
insects and their work of destroying
plant life. In the course of his lee
ture he threw on the screen the in

CONGRESSMAN MARTIN TO ASK
FOR COMMISSION.
SECRETARY WILSON'S VIEW
HE DECLARES BLAME RESTS ON
SMALL COMBINATIONS.

A special dispatch to the st. Paul
Dispatch from Washington under date
of Monday says:
Representative Eben Martin of
South Dakota, author of the resolution
under which the commissioner of
corporations made an inquiry into the
activities of the beef trust in 1905,
1906 and 1907, and which was followed
by criminal proceedings that resulted
in the packers being restrained by the
federal courts from entering into a
combination in restraint of trade, is
preparing a resolution providing for
the creation of a joint commission to
inquire into the cost of living.

THE investigation should be very

real causes for the high prices OF

increased cost of living was due in
