IMPORTANT COAL
TESTS ARE MADE
BY THE STUDENTS OF ENGlN-
EERiNG AT THE STATE
COLLEGE.
DETERMINE HEAT UNITS PER POUND
According to Prof. Cook Many Con.
sumers of Coal Are Operating
Their Plants at a Big Loss.

Some very important coal test ex-
periments are being conducted by the
students OF engineering of the State
College. They are making the British
Thermal Unit test to determine the
heat units per pound that are avail
able in various kinds of coal. These
tests will enable heavy coal consum-
ers to know exactly whether they are
buying the right sort Of fuel for their
boilers. According to Prof. Robert
son Cook. many coal users are operat-
ing their plants at a loss, and the
wise consumer is just learning that he
should buy his fuel upon some reason
able basis, just as he buys other
goods according t. their efficiency, in
stead of zero weight or bulk.
This b. II. U. test determines the
heat unite per pound, the amount of
ash, and the ease Of handling the fuel.
The first process is to make an zap
proXimate test" In this the students
are discovering the amount Of mOis.
ture, violate matter, fixed carbon,
and ash in any coal. They learn that
in some coal the buyer pays for an
enormous amount of useless moisture.
The students next perform the caloi-
meter or heat unit test to determine
the heating value OF Goals. BY this
test they "a determine the kind Of
fuel which produces the greatest re.
turns in a certain boiler, for it's cost.
They have discovered that expensive
coal is not always best under all con-
d~itions, and that all Goals do not pro-
duce similar results in all boilers;
that to get the greatest boiler effic-
iency coal and boiler must be suitably
mated.
The students have discovered also
that heavy consumers Of coal would
often save money by purchasing coal
on the basis OF it's heating value in
stead of by weight as commonly done.
This has led the students to appreci-
ate why the United States govern
ment buys annually over $1,000, 900
worn Of fuel on the heat unit basis.
This system is being quite generally
adopted by large through
out the country.
This test is only one of a great
many practical experiments worked
out by the State College students. To
say the students are fascinated with
the study puts it mildly.

EARLY RESIDENT DIES

Michael Trygstad, one Of the earl.
lest settlers Of this section, passed
away at his home near Lake Campbell
on Wednesday of last week. MI.
Trygstad was born in Vaerden, Nor
way, January IS, 1855, and came with
his parents to America in 1866 and
lived for three years near Salem,
Mimi. In 1869 as a youth he came
with his brothers to Medary, Brook
ings county. they being the pioneer
settlers Of this county. He filed on a
homestead and tree claim Just across
the line in Moody county in 1878, and
the same year was married to Martha
x. Sterud, who survives him. To
them were born nine children, eight
of whom are living. They are: Nels
c. Trygstad Of Rapid City, Mrs. ]. A.
Erickson, Mrs. Peter Erickson, and
Herbert, George, Charlotte and
Joseph Trygstad. He is also survived
by five brothers, all Of whom are
Older. They are, Ole, Cornelius, Mar
tin and John, Of this vicinity, and
Erick Trygstad, Of Royalton, MINI.
Mr.. Trygstad's wife and children
will always cherish the memory of a
kind and loving husband and father.
He was an honored citizen and good
neighbor, with many friends and few
enemies. Coming to this section as a
pioneer he lived to see a wilderness
become a populated and prosperous
community. AS a member of the
Lutheran church Of Lake Campbell
he was always active in It's support.

SNEAK THIEF CAUGHT

The light fingered individual who
made a haul at the home of S. Mar
vim last week, a caught at Castle
wood Thursday and brought back
here. He was arraigned before Judge
Trygstad and was allowed to plead
guilty to petty larceny and was given
a sentence Of fifty days in the county
Jail. He gave his name as Tommy
Goodwin, and he was a good one from
all appearances. When arrested he
was dressed up in style, hav-
ing on the suit, hat, necktie,
rings and watch that he abstract
ed from the Marvin home. A
letter on him showed that he was one
of these fake beggars that infest the
country. 1t stated that he was deaf
and dumb and was trying to raise
enough money to secure an education,
and on this dodge he picked up a few
unwary quarters at Bruce, Estelline
and C~astlewood. When the court read
the charge to him he was able without
trouble to hear it and plead his guilt.

COST BILLIONS
FOR GOOD ROADS
SECRETARY WILSON SAYS 1T
WOULD COST TWO BILLION TO
PUT ROADS IN SHAPE.
ROADS HAVE BEEN LONG NEGLECTED
The Good Roads Movement, However,
is Increasing Rapidly in Every
Section of the Country.

A Washington dispatch says that
three hundred thousand miles of road
way must be improved before the
road system of the United States can
be considered efficient, according to
information just made public by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson. The
improvement will involve an expendi-
ture of approximately 81, 900, 000, 900.
1t is pointed out by the secretary
that the roads have long been neg
lected by both state and federal au-
thorities and that only in recent years
has the good roads movement gain
ed in force. The consequences Of the
delay are shown by the fact that
there are now but 190,476 miles Of
modern" highways in the United
States, or about 1866 per cent. Of the
total mileage Of all public roads, i'm.
proved and unimproved.
While the amount necessary to re-
pair the roads, so that traffic can be
moved throughout the country with
only a minimum wear and tear seems
fabulously large, it is to be taken
into consideration that the cost is
to be divided among the various
states and therefore reduced pro-
p~ortionately.
New York state has bonded itself
to expend $4,000, 900 annually on the
improvement of its highways and, it
is hoped, that other states will follow
until the movement becomes national.
New York also leads the states max
ing the greatest progress in road
building. Georgia is second; South
Carolina, third; Alabama, fourth, and
Florida fifth. Experiments made by
these states has clearly demonstrated
that sand clay highways can be con
structed cheaply, and give general
satisfaction.

A FINE EDITION

We are in receipt of a copy of the
Lansford, \. d., Journal, published by
w. e. Holbcin, formerly of Brookings.
The edition consists vi tweuiy-four
pages, with detailed write.ups of the
different industries and prominent
business men of the town. The edi-
ton is a fine one and a credit to the

One write-up of particular interest to
BroOkings people was that of Arthur
Adams, formerly Of this city, and now
cashier of the First National bank of
Lansford. 1t is as follows:

to drift into the Brookings territory,

tory, so we will ramble on.
"A, G. Adams was born at Brook
ings, South Dakota, April goth, 1889,
graduated from the Brookings high
school in 1900, and completed the
commercial course at the South Da-
kota Agricultural College in 1901. For
some time it was an even break
whether he would become a lawyer
or a banker, but the latter occupation
finally won, and in August, 1906. he
came to Lansford, N. d., and accepted
the position of assistant cashier of the
First National Bank. In January,
1912 he was promoted to the post of
cashier, which position he now holds

"Mr. Adams, besides being treasurer
Of the Lansford Lodge, No. so, A. F. &

Since coming to this city Mr..
Adams has made a legion Of friends,
who can attest to his sterling ability
as a business man, and a progressive
citizen.

DeSmet News:-The state college
glee club and orchestra gave a CON
cert in opera house Saturday night to
a very appreciative though not large
large audience. The company is COM
posed Of instructors and students,
and the tour is made for the purpose
of advertising the school, and not as
a money making venture. The glee
club was led by Prof. Ender and the
orchestra by Prof. Christensen. The
solos by Miss Cathcart, soprano. T. b.
Kelly, cello, and Vern Pratt, trombone
We're especially enjoyed. The num-
bers rendered showed careful train
ing, and the concert was a credit to
all connected with it. The company
was under management OF Teddy
Akin, than whom there is no better
manager.
A fair audience greeted the Brook.
ings College Glee Club and Orchestra
at the Metropolitan opera house last
night, and the entertainment is pro-
nounced to have been an excellent
one in every respect, and it is to be
regretted that more Of our people
failed to avail themselves Of the OPP
p%ortunity of hearing them.
Prof. Edmund S. Ender, the pianist,
has but few equals as a musician,
and his work as director is RESPONSE
Bile for much Of the success of the
organization as a whole. Miss Ethel
May Cathcart as the soloist, has a
rich voice OF much strength and
shows excellent training. The work
OF Prof. Carl Christensen, who is
quite we'll known in this city, on
the violin, was highly appreciated as
were the solos on the trombone by
Mr.. Vern Pratt, who is one OF the ris-
ing young musicians Of the state.
The organization is making it's Sec
ond annual tour OF the state under
the management Of Teddy Akin, and
is a valuable advertisement for

gaining rank as one Of the leading

GOOD A RIVALRY

Quite a little rivalry is being shown
in connection with the cross state
roads by those living along the two
lines between Sioux Falls and Nit
chell. The committee appointed to
determine which route is the most
feasible reported in favor of the south
by way of Beresford and Alexandria.
AS a result the north line people pro-
pose to build their road just the same,
only instead Of going west to Nit
chell the road will turn north at
Salem and run to Iroquois, connecting
with Brookings-Black Hills road

There being the amount OF s461.25
due us from patients and 100000 that
We owe for rent, besides a few other
small bills.
AT the time OF this report our assets
are equal to or a little better than
u liabilities.
The Association as we'll as many
of the people, feel ,that a hospital Of
some kind is a positive necessity for
a city like Brookings. 1t is a delight
to live in a city with such beautiful
churches. splendid schools, and so
many fine public buildings. To be
without a hospital-a place to care for
those unfortunate enough to need the
care that can but be given in a hos
pital, would look a little selfish, after
providing ourselves with these other
fine advantages that satisfy self, and
are apt to make us feel a little proud.
The maintaining of a hospital is
n way W may apply and carry out
a little of the Christianity taught in
u fine churches-to administer. to
help the sick. That is practical
Chrisiaity, and the only kind that
counts.
1t is true our hospital is not self
supporting; neither are our churches
or public schools, but who is there
that would want to give them up be-
cause they cost a little of the public
money. If our hospital could be own
ed by a stock company composed Of
the churches, or any other company
Of public spirited people, or by the
city, so there would not be the ex-
pense Of rent to pay, I believe in a
short time it would be nearly, if not
quite self-supporting.
Conditions have been favorable, in
many ways, for the maintaining of
the hospital here in Brookings since
the Association took over the manage
ment, but Notwithstanding these cir
cumstances, with reasonably fair con-
ditions for the balance Of the year,
outside of the rent, there would be
but a small deficiency, and the matter
Of rem when considering the amount
of money invested by the owners, is
not excessive.
At the meeting of the Association
it was decided and voted to call for
one-half of the pledges on the guar
antee list. believing hat this will
supply sufficient funds to carry us
through until the end of the year
November 1st, 1912.
