COLLEGE IMPROVEMENTS

The college campus has been one of
the busiest places in busy Brookings
during the past summer, and the force
are hustling especially hard right now
to get everything in readiness for the
opening of college next week. While
We were at the college Monday after
noon Prof. Solberg, after showing us
through the new building, took us
around to see some of the other busy
places.
A ten thousand dollar addition is be-
Ing added to the heating and lighting
plant, the principal need of this being
the extra load of giving service to the
new building. A new se~venty-ive

stalled, two esrviceable units.
Only one will be needed at a
time and the new one will be used
for the heavy loads and the old dyna-
mo when not so much power is needed.
The old dynamo has been o~verhauled
and put on a new base. Two new
boilers have been added in the boiler
room, making six. All of these will
not be needed at the same time and it
will be possible to have one or two of

idle at a time so that they can be clean
ed and repaired, insuring safety and
better service. A concrete tunnel 200
feet long and 6 feet in the clear carries
the steam pipes to the new building.
The contract was given to the Brook
ings Construction Company, and Prof.
Solberg tells us that he is very much
pleased with the careful manner in
which the work is being done.
The Chemistry building is another
busy place, and the same company is
the job there. The annex, which
since it was built three or four years
ago has been used by the school of

the work is completed Prof. Shepard
will have a fine home for his depart
ment.
Over at the Dairy building an addi-
ton is being built on the north side
to house a modern refrigerating plant,
and the total cost of the work will be
$4,000. The contract was given to the
Void Construction Company of Brook
ings. This building fairly huns with
industry, as a commercial business is
done the year around. When the new
work is completed the plant will be a
model of it's kind, as it should be and

newspapers have always given freely

alterations for the use of the chemis-
try department. The partitions in
some of the rooms have been removed
to make more room for laboratories
and class rooms, and an arch has been
cut through connecting the annex to
the main building. A new system of
carrying off the gases from the labora-
tories has been installed. The new
method is by individual motor fans on

The point that has made the Radiant
Home such a success is first it's ex-

stove an excellent draft and makes it
a sure floor warmer. Another point is
the fire pot. The dump of the CRATES
cleans the fire. They are a very plain
yet rich stove. They come in three
sizes. Come in and look them over.
