Seven states have again combined
to hold a great exposition to show the
products Of their soil, mines, lakes,
rivers, forests and factories after the
harvests are over and the state and
county fairs have made the collection
Of the finest products in the world
available. The Northwest Product
Exposition, as it will be called, will be
held in Minneapolis November IL to
%. The seven states which will par
ticipate are Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana. Idaho. Wash

position possible the business men of
Minneapolis will erect a building Of

the rest of the roadway is improved
as outlined above the benefits to
South Dakota from tourist travel will
amount to millions of dollars annually.
This is the first east and west high
way to cross the state and on account
of the natural connections with the
many highways of the east it will al
ways be the most important line of
travel in the state, connecting with
highways from Sioux Falls, Mitchell,
Chamberlain, and others makes the
proposition one of state wide import
ance. Professor Solberg states that
although this road construction will
cost money and labor, yet the increase
in land values to the counties through
which this road passes will amount to
many times the cost of road improve
ment, aside from the enormous ad
vantage in trade and transportation.
The value of the work of Professor
Solbere, and the engineering depart
ment of the State college cannot be
computed in dollars and cents.

Der of the Commercial Club of Brook

great convenience to the members of
the Brookings Club who may be laid
owe a day or two in cities having
commercial club headquarters. Ex-
change of cOurtesies have been Sc
cured with the commercial clubs of
Fargo, Aberdeen, Watertown, Sioux

clubs in South Dakota. Among the
important clubs outside the Dakotas
with which We have reciprocal rela-

Minneapolis, Duluth, Kansas City, Mo,
and Omaha, Neb. Mr.. Starring Is
carrying o a correspondence with
other clubs and expects to have a
list Of forty or fifty cities with whom
it is desirable to exchange courtesies.
In these letters the secretary states
something of the growth Of the Club
at Brookings, equipment, and what
the Club is doing. In replies, almost
without exception, the Clubs comment
with no little surprise upon the pro-
g~ressiveness of the Brookings Club,
and many of them state that although
they have a population ten or fifteen
times the size Of our city, yet their
Club cannot compete with us in equip
ment.

THE TIME FOR KICKS.

In another column G.. N. Kennard
has an article Of interest relative to
the annual meeting Of the stockhold-
ers Of the Brookings County Fair
association. Mr.. Kennard asks for
a large attendance at the meeting and
every part Of the county should be
represented. In past years the man.
agement, and the work, OF the fair
has been left to a few men, while there
has been a great many whose only
interest in the institution has been
to criticise. Now, those who do not
like the way the fair las been con-
Quoted have their opportunity to be
present and present their side Of the
matter. Otherwise, they should for
ever hold their peace"

COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES..
Monthly meeting tomorrow (Friday)

Monthly meeting tomorrow (Friday)
night.
219 live members now. Expect to
change that 2 to a 3 by 1913.
A fine new piano has been pur-
chased and placed in the rooms.
The club has made an appropriation
of $25 for the purpose of purchasing
choice seed cor This will be given
out to responsible parties who will
care for it properly and the yield will
be used for exhibit purposes in the
fall. 1t will also develop a movement
for pure seed in the county.
A committee has been appointed to
look into the matter Of freight rates
on seed grain and see if some con-
c~essions could not be secured from
the railroads. Good seed will be
scarce the coming spring and the de-
mand will result in a large amount
being shipped in.
A communication was received from
Commissioner Deets relative to the
meeting of the State Builders at Aber-
deem in March, which appears else
where in full. 1t is very likely that
the club will send several representa-
tives.
The resignation of G. A. Starring
was accepted by the board and C. A
Gullick was elected to the position OF
secretary.
The secretary was instructed to
open a line of correspondence looking
to the securing of a canning factory
for Bookings.
Club members should remember
that tomorrow Is the regular monthly
meeting. The membership only gets
together once a month and there is
no excuse for absentees. In addition
to the regular business we will have
several good talks, including an il
Illustrated address by E. N. Stacy, of
the Decarie Incinerating Co., OF Mime
apolis. The question of an incinerat-
ing plant for Bookings is a live sub
ject and the talk should be heard by
every member. Prof. Solberg will re-
port on the Deadwood good roads con-
vention and Demonstration Farms and
a Potato growers association will be
discussed. Buffet lunch. Everybody
out! -"
