Plans Start by Commercial
Club TO Arrange for the
Coming Short Course
At the regular meeting of the
Commercial Club held Tuesday ey-
ening, several very interesting prop
ositions were brought up for discus
sion, and the members devoted sew
eral hours to their consideration.
One of the most important for the
present tine was that concerning
the very strong possibility. Of build
Ing ! state highway from Sioux Falls
through Mitchell. to the Black Hills
country, either via Pierre or Cham
berlain. This question was brought
up 4hroug some corfe3pondence Sec
retarv Silsby has haa With U. q.
Reininger, of Sioux Falls, who has
Just moved there from Shenandoah,
Iowa. to the queen city. Mr.. Rein
:nger is quoted by papers of his for
mer home state as being one of the
greatest enthusiasts on the good
roads proposition in the northwe.+,
and The first nov that he made in
coming into South Dakota was to
start something of a big character,
and tLat is the construction of a state
roadway from Sioux Falls to the
western part Of the state. In this
connection Mitchell has been taken
into consideration as being of
the POINTS on the highway. The
Commercial Club has signitied its in
,ention Of cooperating with Mr..
|Reininger in this enterprise and will
do everything in It's power to make
it a success. Mr.. Reininger was the
president OF the association which
built an Interstate highway from
Denver to Des Moines. Iowa, which
lis known as the Waubonsie trail.
and which will be extended OH to
Indianapolis The construction of
this state road in South Dakota Will
doubtless have the interest of ev-
cry farmer living along or adjacent
ito the line of route, and likewise all
lauto owners within the same ter
rito1y. With the road once COM
Ipleted it is believed that a matter of
pride will actuate those living direct
lily on the thoroughfare to keep it in
good condition.
The Guaranty Plan.
Another subject up for co%nsidera-
ton was the Guaranty Plan. which
was adopted at a public meeting
held by the club some few months
ago, when a committee vas selected
to adopt a plan that would meet the
requirements of this city in the fos-
tering of enterprises which needed
some financial backing. The work
lis progressing we'll on the plan. and
after another meeting with Attor-
Fuey Preston the same. will be COM
pleted and car be ready for opera
ton by the first week in January. 1t
is. estimated that stock to the
amount; of. $4,000 is: all !, that will
be. necessary to 4.be RAISED q. for ahie
city. The aplans as has been. soutlan-.
ed; has been. devised with the idea
Of. minimizing. any, .loss.sin the Of

short Course and Corn Show.
The coming Of the state corn show
and the local enterprise OF conduct
ing a short course was talked over
and the preliminary work started.
Secretary Siblsby outlined q plan
that he intended to pursue with ref
erence to the selling of tickets for
the short course. He is going to
take up the proposition with the
elevator men in this immediate dis
!trict to have them sell tickets for
the course and to offer a valuable
cash prize to the man who sells the
most.
The secretary received communi-
cation from Miss Tough, of Brook
ings agricultural college, concern
ing the arrangement she desires
made for the domestic science course
in connection with the short course.
With the experience of the domestic
science course last year. which was
|conaMcted SO efficiently by Miss
Norma Brown, now of the Mitchell
high school faculty. in which she
aroused much interest among the
women OF the city. and country. it is
believed that this department OF the
short course will be larger than last
year.
Mr.. Everhard Of the Iowa agricul-
,ural college, has written the secre-
;ary to have as many different va
rieties of fancy stock for the stock
judging class, and this matter will
be looked after by w. S. Hill. who
will arrange to have some especially
fine animals for the mel to Judge.
The dates for the corn show and
the short course are Jan. is, 16, II,
Is, 10. The rates for men are s..
and for the domestic science So, for
the entire week.
Corn Palace Picture.
The Commercial Club recently
adopted a novel plan for advertising
Mitchell and the corn palace. when
u large picture of the building, four
feet long and wide in proportion,
was zone in water colors and sent
TO the National Land Congress in
Chicago, where it is now being En-
;nfbited to the thousands of visitors,
and where it attracts a great deal OF
