IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE

This week c. A. Skinner disposed of
an interest in the big Skinner depart
ment store to F. M. Ellis, and the bus
mess will be incorporated as the c. A.
Skinner & Ellis Company. Mr.. Skin
ner, on account of poor health, will
leave a large part of the detail work
of management to Mr.. Ellis, but his
scores of friends will be glad to know
that he will still retain an active in
terest in the affairs of the store. The
work of managing a store of this size
is a burdensome one and Mr.. Skin
ner's health has been such that he
felt that he could not longer continue
it alone and he welcomed the oppor-
tunity of getting the assistance of a
young and energetic business man like
Mr.. Ellis.
Mr.. Skinner is the oldest merchant
in Brookings, having been in business
here for thirty years and during that
time by courteous treatment, fair
dealing and good merchandise has
built up the largest store in this Sec
ton and a business that is second to
none in the state. In fact the Skin
ner Department Store is known all
over South Dakota as a model store.
Mr.. Ellis is not altogether unknown
to Brookings people, as he was former
ly a resident of Bookings, and the
Register takes pleasure in recon-
mending him as a good citizen and a
first-class business a He was con
nected with the Minnesota and Dakota
Farmer during the time the paper was
published here and about two years
ago moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
where he has been a member Of the
wholesale firm Of Ellis & Roth. Pre-.
vious to his connection with the farm
paper he vas a landowner in this
county and still has a h~alf-section
north of the city. The many friends
OF he and his estimable family will be
glad to know that they will again be
come residents Of the city. The family
will return here within a few weeks
The Register believes that the new
arrangement Is an ideal one and tina,
the addition of Mr.. Ellis to the firm
will mean the building up Of a still
greater volume of business than this
.ifalready popular store has p~resiousl,
enjoyed.

hoLMoUIsT-THURsToN RECITAL

Occasionally in our lives, we are
brought so near to the highest phase
of art, that We are left almost breath
less in wonder and awe, with a feeling
closely akin to reverence, every nerve
in sympathetic vibration, from our
intense appreciation. This was the
unusual feeling experienced by many
who heard Mr.. Gustaf Holmquist's
work in the fourth number of the Art
lists Course, Tuesday evening.
While there were a number of other
events the same evening, a deep inter,
est in song was displayed in the splen-
did attendance at this recital.
1t is wholly unnecessary to say that
Mr.. Holmquist is a true artist. His
smooth, soft and mellow i~nterpreta-
tons were greatly enjoyed by all. His
portion of the program varied in char
acter from the older classics Of Hay
den, Handel and Schubert to the
modern works, including a group of
opera arias and a group of Swedish
songs which were unique in their
melody and harmony.
OF the first group, the song "She
Never Told Her Love" was extremely
pleasing in it's lyric and typically Hay
den style, as was the Schubert "Who
is Sylvia" with its piquant rhythm
and the more ford "Ruddier Than the
Cherry" OF Handel.
Perhaps the highest artistic results
were attained in the Schubert del
Wanderer," which brought to mind
vivid picture of the homeless outcast
musing in sorrow and lonliness, ant
the Beethoven Nit Madeln sicf
vertagen" was very pleasing.
The operate group displayed boil
his lyric and dramatic qualities in thu
Wagner "E, ening Star" and the Ari'
from "The Queen of Sheba." Perhap'
the most striking group of the pro
gram was that Of Swedish songs. o

cational work and his remarks were
warmly applauded.
The last speaker on the afternoon
program was Prof. w. G.. Johnson,
~vice-president Of the Aberdeen normal.
Prof. Johnson's talk was along general
educational lines and he drew a good
deal from his own valuable experience
with an occasional reference to Aber.
deem and its schools. After he was
through most everyone was ready to
go home, so the general meeting was
adjourned, the school officers remain
ing to discuss some matters relative
to their duties.
After the close Of the regular pro.
gram Miss Hoover gave a short and
interesting talk relative to the work
Of the Deaconess Hospital and made
mention Of the lecture by President
Vincent OF the University of Mime
sofa, to be held here on April s.
The question OF Capitalization was
discussed at considerable length dur.
ing the two meetings Friday and the
sentiment Of the county, as near as
can be judged, seems to be fairly even
ly divided. Many farmers favor 1t
under certain conditions and others
are opposed to it on general principles.
Those in favor of it urge that it is the
only way in which competent teach
ers a be paid enough to induce them
to teach in the country. With a nine
months term and good teachers the
pupils of a centralized school can gain
just as good instruction as the chill
dren in the cities, and there seems to
be no reason on earth why they are
not entitled to as good a schooling as
their city cousins. The principal
objection seems to be that the chill
dren will have too far to go to school,
but If the district was composed of a
township those farthest away would
not have to travel over three or four
miles. The question Is being much
discussed among the farmers and the
plan will likely be adopted by some
townships in the next year or two.
The Saturday meeting was for the
school teachers only, and the sessions
were held at the court house. One
hundred and one teachers were pres.
ent and this was a fine attendance
when it Is remembered that the
weather was the worst of the winter.
The morning session was given over
to a debate on the question of whether
rural school consolidation Is beneficial
to the community. Prof. Arnott and
Miss Ridges upheld the affirmative,
while j. H. Hutchinson, Prof. F. E
White and Miss May Button defended
the negative. The question was well
handled by both sides and many in.

After the inner man had been salts
fed a splendid program of toasts was
given, with President Slagle in charge
as POSTMASTER. DR.. Slagle made an
ideal POSTMASTER and had an ap-
propriate story for each introduction.
The company we're in a jolly mood
and the toasts abounded in good
humor but at the same time con-
tanned much good food for thought.
All of the talks %pertained particularly
to the dairy industry and all phases
Of it were treated both seriously and
goodhumoredly. The members Of the
local dairy club had racked their
brains and produced a number OF
original songs and yells, with an ap-
propriate song or yell for each speak
er, and these were given between the
talks. The songs were printed o.
slips and distributed and as they were
to the tune OF popular melodies every
one joined in and the evening was i'm
deed a jolly one. In addition to the
regular program Of toasts impromptu
talks were made by the following:
Thos. Maher Of Brookings, Mr.. Shusler
Of Britton, Clyde Brown of Hartford,
Prof. Gregory of the college, and Mr..
Wind of Carthage. The toast program
was as follows:

dents and ex-students. However, as
these young men went out over the
state they formed many friendships
among dairymen and finally others
who had not been at school here were
admitted and now its membership
reaches into nearly every county In
South Dakota. 1t has been a great
factor in promoting the dairy industry
in the state, and incidentally has be
come an important body Of boosters
for the State College.

sTATE LAND BOARD LOANS
MORE MONEY THAN BANKS

Some idea of the magnitude of
the loan business done by the state
land board may be CLEANED from
the statement that the loans on
land have increased in the past two
years practically a million and a
half dollars. The loans outstanding
now approximate 100000, and
there are applications on file with
the land board at the present time
for upward of $4,000 more.
No additional loans will be made
says Register Jenness, at this time
for the a that the funds from
which the loans are made are ex-
hausted. A number Of loans nave
been allowed by the land board, but
the borrowers will not get their
money until funds come in.

cowboy, gunman, and soldier of for
tune, was not killed as reported
a short time ago. by Salt Lake
papers. 1t was stated that he had
been shot by Mexican authorities for
mixing up in the affairs of the
tamale republic, but such does not
seem to have been the case. Since
that time Davis has been in Canada
and a few days ago he dropped in
to Salt Lake and had a visit with
Judge o. w. Powers, who, years
ago, prosecuted and convicted Davis
on the charge of having killed two
sheepherders.

Arthur Davis and Mr.. and Mrs. John
Curt tried the experiment. But the
big fish that cavort about the falls
sent down word to fight shy of the
Davis bait because it was not
hooked on right. Mrs. Davis knows
why the party could get no fish.

MONOPOLY OF POWER
SALE IS HELD LEGAL
Attorney General Says Reclamation
Service Had Right to Grant ExeIu-
sive Sale to Pacific Company.


Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 2Z-That the
contract made by the U. s recIama-
ton service giving the Pacific Gas and
Electric company the exclusive right
TO retail in Phoenix electric power gen.
Grated in connection with the Salt
River irrigation project, is entirely
legal, is the opinion of attorney gen
eral James McReynOlds
For several years there has been
much agitation over this contract
when the reclamation service bought
the Arizona canal for the farmers of
the valley a contract between the for
mer owners Of the canal and the power
company was also taken over. The
company had certain water rights in
the canal In exchange for those
rights the Pacific Gas company was
given an exclusive contract, which has
-FOUR years yet to run.
General Reynolds holds that the at
torney general who approved the con-
tract was acting entirely within his
powers. He also holds that the con-
tract is not in violation of the anti
trust law.
All this means that Phoenix cannot
nave municipal lighting plant till
the contract expires, unless electricity
is secured from some other source.
There has been much agitation for a
municipal plant for several years.
