washington, Nov. 6:-That dis

Immediately after he reached the
state department. When asked whe-
ther he had received from Mexico
city a report that Huerta had sent
word to Charge de Affaires O'Shau-
ghnessy that because successor had
not been elected by the people he
must continue as provisional presi-
dent, Bryan refused to talk.
The report, however, persisted
that Huerta had defled the United
States to put him out. The secret
airy OF state also refused to admit
that DR.. William Bayard Hale,
friend of the president, was now in
communication with Carranza, and
that already preliminary report
had been received, showing in de-
tail the Carranza strength and the
identity OF his chief supporters.

The President has the power him

Secretary Bryan takes the position
that premature publication Of ad-

them. 1t was unofficially stated to-
day that the suggestion of media
tion between this government and
Mexico with France as a go-between
could not be considered by the ad-
ministration. The policy determined
on was the elimination of Huerta.
There has been no change. The Pre-
sident will enter into no negotiations
that will drag present conditions
along. The action OF Huerta in per-
hitting Mexican banks to issue cur
reney notes at will, without regards
as to whether there is coin reserved
to redeem them, accentuates the

The Graduating Address-Pres.
SIagle Presents Certificates

The school of agriculture of the
State College held its graduating ex-
ercises at the college chapel this morn
ing, and the twenty-eight young people
who have completed the three-year
course We're awarded certificates. This
is the third and the largest class grad
uated by the school and is a company
of bright young people who without
a doubt have been benefited by their
course here, brief though it may have
been.
The exercises were held at the col
lege chapel and were attended by a
large number of students and towns
people and many friends and relatives
of the graduates were present from
different parts of the state.
The program opened with music by
the college orchestra, under the direc-
ton Of Prof. Christensen. Rev. C. F.
Hoffman of the United Presbyterian
church, pronounced the invocation,
and this was followed by a trombone
solo by Vern Pratt. The graduating
address was delivered by Rev. w. M.
MAR of Mitchell, and was a very able
effort. The members of the class
were then called to the rostrum and
presented with their certificates at the
hands of President Slagle. The grad,
uating song sung by the class, and
music by the orchestra closed the pro-
gram.
The graduates are as follows:
Melvin Oliver Abrahamson, Grace
Baxter, Frank Howard Bickel, Ray
Cunningham, Arthur Ludwig Dokken,

NEW RAILROAD LINE

A new railway corporation is being
outlined for South Dakota, the COM
pany to be known al the Sioux Valley
and Northern Railway Company, with
headquarters at WATERFOWL, and a
capital of $1,000, 900 for the construc-
ton of a line 100 miles in length from
Watertown to the north line of the
state through the counties Of Cooling
ton, Grant and Roberts. The incor-
porators Of the new company are F.
T. Heathecote, John Maxwell, c. r.
Jones, F. j. Xix, H. c. Hagen, T. N.
Bergam, Ernest Britzman, J. E. Nit
chell, Mark Johnson. Such a line
would be virtually an extension of the
South Dakota Central line to the north
line of the state, continuing the pres
ent line of that road from Sioux Falls
to Watertown. Whether there is any
connection between the two roads Is
not shown in the articles.

DR.. DERR

An event of considerable interest to
those connected with the State Col
lege, and especially to the engineering
department, occurred Saturday even
ing, when the engineers of the Junior
class gathered together to do honor to
DR.. H. M. Derr, who departed Sunday
to take up his residence in Pierre, the
scene of his future work.
DIR. Derr has had charge of the civil
engineering work at the State Col
lege since his arrival in Brookings in
1907, and during his stay here he has
developed this branch of learning to a
considerable degree, SO that in years
to come C. E. graduates will have
ample cause to be proud of the fact
that s.. d. s. c. is their alma mater.
Coming directly from the well-known
Clarkson School of Technology, he
brought with him a high record of
many years OF successful work, and
he now leaves with a still brighter
reputation, to accept the duties of the
highest Office in the profession which
the state can give. During the years
that he has spent in Brookings he has
formed many loyal friendships, among
both the citizens and those who are
enrolled at the college; but of all his
friends, none are more devoted to
him, and none hold him In higher
regard, than those who have come in
contact with him in their daily work,
and who have by close association
gained a knowledge OF his ideals and
purposes, his resourceful energy and
unfiagging zeal which ever hold to an

men at their work. The third num-
Der was a typical ballet scene, refresh
ing in it's b%rilllancy and rhythm.
1t is not an easy matter to produce
the Cavalleria Ave Maria" the HUI
moreske and Spring Song" simple as
it may seem. All of the group are so
familiar and have been heard so many
times, that everyone has his own. idea
as to their correct Interpretation. Mr..
Christensen, however, interpreted all
of them in a pleasing way and in the
Spring Song the necessary ~vivacity
and buoyancy was preserved through
out.
We do not often have the opportun-
ity to hear Prof. Christensen in the
role of conductor and we wish it were
afforded us more often as his work,
manner, and personality are so
thoroughly pleasing, and in this ON
nection it is apropos to note the fact
that the splendid work of the band is
chiefly due to his enthusiasm and I'M
firing efforts.
The soloists of the evening were
Miss Leekley, soprano and Mr.. Pratt,
trombonist. Miss Leekley, who has
from her splendid work and attractive
personality, become very popular here,
received a warm welcome. Her first
number, the Aria from Queen of
Sheba," vas sung with feeling, its
lyric beauties being splendidly dis
closed. The appreciation of the au-
dience was manifested in their request
for an encore. OF the second group
the Salter "She is Mine proved a
favorite and the Ronald Down in the
Forest" was a gem. Mr.. Pratt in his
solo, found opportunity to display his
technical skill, and his work was char
acterized by unusual accuracy and pre-
cision in the cadenzas and variations
He too responded to the request for
al encore, playing "The Palms."
1t should be said that Brookings peo-
pie are, ami have reason to be proud
of this band and this pride was mani
tested in the large number who gather
ed to hear them and, by their applause
to encourage them in their good work.
1t is expected to send the band to
Huron at the intercollegiate field
meet this spring, and it would be a
splendid policy to send them to other
events throughout the state, since a
city or college could scarcely find a
better medium Of advertising than a
band of this calibre. w. A.

THE BAND

The State College Military Band
appeared in their annual concert Mon
day evening before a large and en-
thusiastic audience. While we have
heard the band upon many occasions
throughout the year, we hear them at
their best and in their entirety but
once a season, which event is eagerly
anticipated by their many admirers.
Their work is generally conceded to
be much more finished than ever be-
fore and the program rendered was
one involving no little work in it's
preparation.
The heaviest work of the program
of Tuesday evening was the William
Tell" Overture which in it's difficulties

attempted by an amateur organization.
1t was however, well worked out in all
it's parts, the Introductory Andante,
the powerful Storm Scene, the delight
full Pastorale and the Military Fanfare
leading to the grand finale. 1t was
rendered in a way OF which the band
may well be proud.
Another number, the set of Spanish
selections by Lacome was distinctive
in its orchestral color. The first num-
Der representative Of the Spanish Bull

VINCENT DAY

Following are some stories told OF
President Geo. E. Vincent of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, who will be in
Brookings, under the auspices of the
Deaconess Hospital, on April s:
A writer in the Survey" says of
DR.. Vincent, "His humor gilds the
dullest situation; his enthusiasms con-
trolled by good are yet as spon-
taneous as they We're in days at col
lege when he walked five miles in a
wooden sweater through the rain to
hear James G.. Blaine" 1T was a good
coat when 1 put it on" he says, in
telling the story, "but when I took it
off it was a necktie."

awake nights to think of things for me
to do. Now that l am grown and have
a boy of my w I know he did"
1t is told tnat once in a youthful dis
appointment George Vincent was play
fully comforted by his father with the
words, Never mind, George, remem-
Der what a father you've got"
Years afterward when the aged
Bishop was retired from the Office he
had held SO long, the son, quick to
surmise the old mans hurt, tele-
graphed cheerfully, Never mind,
father, think what a son you've got"
The resident Bishop of Chicago, Will
liam Frazier Mcdowell, himself great
in the educational history. of America,
writes concerning George E. Vincent:
"In those parts Of the world where
President George e. Vincent is best
known, his coming to a given com
munity for any kind of public address
Is regarded as an event of the highest
importance and utmost pleasure. Here
in Chicago where he has been speak
ing for years, and at C~hautauquas
where he has been appearing for more
years he has a popularity all his own.
1 greatly rejoice with you that he finds
time out Of his very busy life to come
to your dedication"

CORN CONTEST

H. P. Packard, of Redfield, has insti-
tuted a state corn raising contest,
similar to the one in existence in Min

South Dakota; $50 for the second larg-
est amount and $25 for the third, the
contest to be open to any man, woman
or child in the state. The only con
dition attached to the contest is that

hibits the best ears will be chosen for
a special premium, the contestants Of
