ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT.

The time is brief in which to get
notice Of the school entertainment
that takes place this evening before
the public, but attention is called to
the fact just the same, with the hope
that it may catch the eye of all and
aid in drawing out crowd. 1t will be
worth while. a verdict all who are so
fortunate as to be present will render
after the curtain rings down on the
final act. The object of the entertain
ment is to raise funds to meet the ex-
penses of the Sth grade graduating
exercises in May and if possible to
create a fund to which succeeding
classes will be urged to contribute
and which will be available for IL
brary books when new building af-
fords place to keep them. The en-
tire class will appear in the perform
ance wit h the exception of Daisy
Stansbury, Celia Frank, Lawrence
Campbell. and Uhel Monsey who will
assist the high school in carrying out
a very pretty program which they
have planned for the last day exer-
cises

TO DO MINING WORK.

letter from A. NJ Wehe, at Mil
waukee states that the contest against
his mining claims, located at Wehes-
vile, which was decided against him
in the Waterville land office was car
ried up to the commissioner of the
general land office, who has reversed
the lower court and decided in his
favor. He states he has the promise
of men of substance to supply the sin
ews to start up extensive development
work on the claims that were in dis
pute. From indications that have fol-
lowed prospecting to considerable
extent further expenditures at deeper
mining are justified. For twenty
years the Wehe brothers worked the
country within a radius of few miles
of Wehesville, and the hills are pock
marked with prospect holes, open cuts
shafts and tunnels. Ledges of well
mineralized quartz have been uncov-
cred in number of places, and as
say values running to high figures
have been obtained from the ore. The
work represents vast amount of
manual labor and the outlay of much
money. So far nothing has resulted
that could be dignified by the name
of mine, but the showing encourages
the expectation that mine can be
made if depth can be gained and the
work properly managed. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Wehe can carry out
his plan so long contemplated of going
deep, and that a producing mine will
follow as reward for the many years
he has devoted in his efforts to open
up paying ore bodies in the Okanogan
country.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Monday morning at 10: Is o'clock e.
W. Henderson pump repairer for this
branch of the Great Northern road,
and J. Nelson, roadmaster. both men
of family and residents of Oroville,
left the depot on a gasoline speeder
intending to make the run to Coal
mont. While bowling along at a high
rate of speed the vehicle struck some
obstruction at a point three miles
west of town, derailing the machine
and throwing the men violently to the
ground. Mr.. Henderson sustained
shocking injuries. A long cash was
cut over his right eye, the skull
crushed and portion Of the brain
exposed. Mr.. Nelson had no bones
broke nor visible cuts, but he was
severely bruised and shaken up. Both
men lay unconscious where they fell
for some time. After regaining con-
sciousness they managed to walk back
to town. Considering the nature of
his injuries it is surprising that Mr.
Henderson was able to keep his feet.
They reached the depot about o'clock
and were assisted to their homes. Dr.
Beale was summoned and rendered
every assistance in his power. Mr.
Nelson was around in the afternoon,
although still considerably dazed, and
Tuesday morning seemed little the
worse for his experience. At first it
was feared that Mr.. Henderson would
not survive the night but being man
of strong physique and constitution
he bore up bravely under injuries that
would have killed an ordinary person
Tuesday morning he was in cheerful
spirits and was sent out to a hospital
at Spokane. The chances are alto
gether favorable that he will rapidly
recover

pronounced upon him by the superior
court in January by serving ten days
in the county Jail during the past two
weeks, thus paying a fine and a term

SIGN OF SPRING.

Members of the local ball team
that is last years team, have re-
ceived letter from club made up
of college boys at Summerland B. c.,
asking date for a game in the near
future. The college boys are trying
to arrange with the local organiza-
tions for tour through the Okanogan
valley. The recent change to colder
weather prevents practice, and the
fixing of definite date for a game
but judging from the prevailing feel
ing among the mitt wearers and bat
wielders they are keen to get back on
the diamond, and anxious to meet up
with our Canadian neighbors, even if
there be slight show of winning
against college aggregation. Sew
eral new plaers have located in Oro-
vile since last season, and the chan
ces look very favorable for the organ
ization of a cracking strong nine for
the playing season OF 1912.

OUR PLATFORM

Last weeks issue of the Register
must have been read pretty thorough
ly, at least the news editor is con
vinced that it was, as shortly after
the paper was out several people gave
us extended opinions upon some OF
the items therein. One of the peculiar
tiles of human nature is that an editor
may say nice things about a man, or
woman, until he is black in the face
and they absorb it without batting an
eye as something that is their due,
but just as soon as he prints an item
that does not please them they will
beat it" in his direction like a tramp
in quest OF a free lunch. The newspap-
er is a forum for the discussion of
matters of public interest, and in it's
treatment of these the Register aims
to be fair, always. There are many
little matters in a town that need
remedying and If, in discussing Brook
ings' ills, we tread on anyone's toes it
will not he because we derive any
great pleasure from the act, but solely
from q belief that the said toes need .

YANKT0N COMES
HERE TOMORROW
FOR A BATTLE WITH THE FOOT
BALL TEAM OF THE STATE
COLLEGE
"HOBO DAY" WILL Be OBSERVED ALSO
This Is a New Feature This Year and
Takes Places of Night-Shirt Par
ade-A Good Game Expected.

Tomorrow will be a big day at the
State College, when the Yankton col
lege football team comes for the an
nual battle with BrOokings. This
game is expected to be very evenly
fought and will be well worth seeing.
Another feature tomorrow will be the
first observance of hobo day" The
students, boys and girls alike, and the
members of the faculty hat have the
proper college spirit, will dress up in
hobo style and it is presumed that
they Will march down town. This
demonstration will take the place of
the night-shirt parade, which was a
feature before every big game for
several years.
The football enthusiasts who claim
TO have inside information, predict a
victory for the local team. While
YanktOn college has had a rather sue
cussful season thus far. the State Col
lege team has not had a good try out
which would determine its strength.
Coach Ewing states that the football
exhibition against Yankton on Friday
will be far different from anything the
State College team has thus far shown
during the season. No new or spec
tacular plays were sprung at Vermil-
lion last Saturday.
The game with Yankton is held IN
Friday, as the business men OF BrooE-
ings find it difficult TO leave their Of
fees on Saturday, and it will be a
fight from start TO finish. YanktOn
fully expects to win and is coming
with the determination 10 carry home
the long end of the score. Both teams
will play the best football of which
they are capable and there is every
reason to expect that this will be one
of the best games of the season.
The college team has had a streak
of bad luck this year on account Of
the fact that all of the practice games
in the first part of the season We're
cancelled. Both Aberdeen normal and
Madison normal cancelled their games
with the excuse that they could not
get together any teams. However, il
is noticeable that both of these in
situations have been carrying out their
Gnha1n1n with nthnr nnllonnc aud
since they have learned of the ap-
parent weakness of the Brookings az
%gregation, they are trying to get back
onto the schedule of the local team.
The fact is that State College had a
good bunch OF football men, but the
boys are handicapped by the fact that
for most OF them, it is the first year
Of college football.

GOOD ROADS MEN
ARE ON THE JOB
SOUTH DAKOTA GOOD ROADS AS
ISOLATION is NOW DOWN
TO BUSINESS
70 STIMULATE STATEWIDE INTEREST
In the Good Roads Movement Is The
Object of the Association-Large
Active Membership Desired.

Unlike many associations which
have been organized in South Dakota
for various purposes and, after the
adjournment of the meeting or con
v~ention which brought about the or
ganization, have, by default, passed
out of existence, the South Dakota
Good Roads Association is showing un-
mistakable signs Of being alive and
fully aware of the Importance Of push
ing to an actually its purpose, viz:
good roads in South Dakota.
The South Dakota Good Roads AS
ISOLATION grew out Of a good road con
yention called by Governor Vessey and
which, in response to the call, assem-
bled at Pierre, South Dakota, on the
2lst day Of last August.
At that convention a name, consti-
tuition and bylaws were adopted; Of
icers we're elected and the South Da-
kota Good Roads Association became
an established institution within our
state. The officers elected We're J. w.
Parmley, Ipswich, president; J. l..
White, Sioux Falls, vice-president; j..
McD. Campbell, Huron, treasurer; Ben
NJ. Wood, Rapid City, secretary and
S. f. Morris, Mitchell, Prof. II. c. Sol
berg, Brookings, Geo. V. Ayers, Dead
wood, constituting the executive com
mittee; a county committeeman for
each county in the state was also
elected.
The object of the association as
voiced by the convention, is to stimu-
late statewide interest in good roads;
place before the people in every
proper possible manner information as
10 the need. worth and importance of
good highways; urge the passage Of
reasonable and progressive bills which
will open wider the door of opportun-
ity to build good roads under the law;
maintain a department devoted TO
inquiring parties, information as 10
the best and cheapest manner Of CON
structing highways, depending on the
nature of the soil, lay Of the land,
drainage, etc, in each particular case;
b wide and liberal distribution Of
literature showing the d~esirability OF
good roads both as a source OF pleas.

CHRYSANTHEMUM DISPLAY

Mr.. Stoltenberg, the college florist,
will open the college greenhouses
next Sunday afternoon to display the
largest chrysanthemum show ever
held in South Dakota. Both sections
of the houses will be completely filled
with fifteen thousand white, yellow,
NUNS, with beautiful decorations in
southern smilaX, roses and a thous-
and varieties of imported and native
plants.
In the north room will be exhibited
a bridal table decorated by Mr.. StOl-
tenberg according to the latest decree
of fashion, which means hat the dis
play will be without flaw. This room
and both greenhouses will be effect
lively lighted by electricity, and many
SNOWY Japanese lanterns, a distinct
lively new feature this year.
In extending this invitation to the
public Mr., ~Stoltenberg states that for
the convenience of all, the exhibition
will be continued every afternoon and
evening of next week. There will,
therefore, be no need of confusion
and crowding on Sunday afternoon.
The display is free, of course, and for
beauty and magnitude will not be sur
passed anywhere in the northwest.

poses it will be necessary for the asso-
citation to have a large and active
membership all owe the state. The
commercial clubs and business clubs
Of the state are urged to take up
communication with the association at
once; lend their aid toward obtaining
membership into and for the associa-
ton. Automobile owners farmers,
ranchers and merchants are urged to
lend a helping hand toward the move
ment by acquiring for themselves and
urging others to take out membership.
The money thus derived will be used
TO bring about the aims of the assoCia-
ton. Members will be kept posted on
what is being accomplished.
Membership into the association
can be obtained by sending, in any
manner, your name and address and

ing posts on the following corners:
terrain church, NJ. f. church, L. T..
church, Christian Science church, and
Lutheran church. This would form a
half circle from the business district
and would certainly add greatly to
the beauty of the system. If neces-
sary Mr.. Hoy would have the city fur
nish the posts for the last-named
corners
Prof. Hoy is not altogether satisfied
that the Tungsten cluster light, which
is the kind that Mr., Conklin has, is
the best light for the city. He thinks
most favorably of the Magnetic or
Luminous arc, a light that is now used
generally in the east in preference to
the Tungsten cluster.
The Luminous are says Prof.
Hoy, lis the latest development in
the science of street illumination. The
light given is powerful, of high etfic-
iency and low intrinsic brilliancy and
has a most pleasing appearance, be
ing absolutely free from glare. The
installation and maintenance of this
lamp are economical. The posts are
ornamental and enhance the appear
ance of the street by day as well as
by night. The high Illuminating effic-
iency of the lamp allows the spacing
Of two or three times that of the
Tungsten cluster, with the same
power consumed"
The question of what kind of light
they want is, however, up to the bust
ness men, but Prof. Hoy and City
Superintendent Morton will be glad to
discuss the matter with them and rem
der any assistance in arriving at the
proper decision. Brookings wants the
best lighting system possible, and We
know that Mayor Leighty and the
council are ready and anxious to do
their share. Now it seems to be up
to the business men and a little CO.
operation on their part will result in
the installation of a first-class system.

FOOTBALL TEAMS
WIN AND LOSE
COLLEGE LOSES TO vERMIlLION
BUT HIGH SCHOOL BEATS
WATERFOWL
COLLEGE SCRUBS DEFEAT ESTELuNE
Defeat at Vermillion Is Bad One, But
the Boys Are Not Discouraged
WATERFOWL Game a Good One.

Our football teams won two games
and lost n last Saturday, but the one
defeat hurt more than the other two
victories pleased. The defeat was sus-
hands of our ancient enemy at Ver-
million and the score was 70 to 7,
about the worst licking the state uni
versity ever handed us. The high
school team defeated one Of their old
rivals, though, taking Watertown into
camp at the college park by a score
of 33 to II. The second college team
%journeyed up to Estelline and defeat
ed Editor Bill Leignton's team by a
score of AZ to 0.
The defeat at Vermillion, while by
a large score, is not quite as discour-
aging as might be expected. The state
university has a veteran bunch of
stars, all big men, and would give any
team in the country a n argument,
while ~Brookings was compelled to
send against this aggregation practi-
cally a high school bunch. Nearly all
of the men OF this years team played
high school football last year and
they are light and inexperienced COM
pared with Vermillion. However, they
never quit a minute in Saturdays
battle and the game was more of a
contest than the lop-sided score would
indicate. The Drookings TOUCHDOWN
was made on straight football. The
team is gaining in experience and ag-
gressiveness with every game and
may be expected to give a good ac-
count of itself in the remaining con
tests.
The high school game between
Brookings and Waterfowl was an in
teresting contest to watch. In the
first three quarters Brookings out
played the visitors, piling up q points,
while WATERFOWL failed to score. The
boys from the north came back, how
ever, and in the last quarter they car
ried the ball down the field for two
%touchdowns on straight football. This
rather nettled the home team, so they
did a comeback stunt and scored an
other touchdown. Coach Patty seems
to have rounded his team into good
shape, after a poor start, and they
may be expected to make a good show
ing from now on. The Watertown
boys are a green bunch, but with more
experience they should be heard from.
They are a clean set Of young lei and
the game passed off without hardly a
protest from either side. Olson, Han
son and Peterson were the B~rookings
stars, and Fisher did the best work for
Waterfowl.
The lowly college scrubs %journeyed
up to Estelline and walloped the town
team rather badly. The game vas
an exciting me-, if one-sided and the
Brookings boys learned some ley
plays which they intend to spring on
the first team. Roy Nord, the scrubs
star quarterback, dislocated his elbow
at the start OF the game and thereafter
his energies were restricted to an Oc-
c~asional speech to the Estelline root
ers.
