We notice by the dailies this morn
ing that Will Deeth has been appoint
ed bill clerk of the senate. Bill makes
the third representative of Brookings
county appointed to a position in the
State House and they are certainly a
bunch that we can be proud of-lot.
The head officers of the Modern

wise the local camp organizations OF
that society to advertise in the local
newspapers. Many of them are fol-
lowing this suggestion. Some camps
have used whole pages Of local news

The county commissioners will
meet today to decide upon the court
house site, also plans, specifications,
architect, etc. for the building. Since
their last session there has been on
siderable talk about the several prop
ositions. Many different opinions
have been expressed. Not unlikely
because of this difference, Egan par
ties have circulated petitions to move
the county seat, and on the represen-
tation that they will give a site and
$4,000 or 100000 they have been
rather freely signed, at least so it is
reported to us. 1t requires two-thirds
vote to move the county seat. In
spite of the petitions, the commission
ers, according to the vote last Novem-
Der, will undoubtedly proceed to build
a new court house, unless stopped by
legal observation-disclosures Enter

One of the most interesting events
in connection with the 1915 Inter-
national Exposition will be a
motor race from Sandy Hoock and
Chicago to the Golden Gate. This
will be the longest race on record
and will be the longest voyage
ever undertaken by power boats. So
far. two reputable firms have decid-
ed to run boats of their manufac-
ture. These are the Leow Manufac-
turing company of Cleveland, Ohio.
and the Winton Gas Engine COM
pany of Cleveland. Considerable
interest has been aroused among
builders and motor boat enthusiasts
in the east and the prospects are that
the races will be one of the most
notable events in history. The route
taken will be from Chicago to the
Mississippi, thence to the Gulf
through the Panama Canal to the
Golden Gate and also from Sandy
Hook through the Canal.

Death of Henry VI. Elagler.

Henry NJ. Flager. the capitalist and
railroad magnate. died at Palm Beach.
Fla, Tuesday. He had been i'll for
several weeks as a result of a fall.
He organized the Rockefeller. An
drews and Flager refining Oil COM
.pany which afterward became the
Standard Oil Co.
Flager was born In Canandaigua.
n. Y. on 1890. Little is known OF his
early life. except that he was clerk
in d country grocery in Orleans coun-
ty. Michigan. while in his teens.
In 1885 Flagler paid his first visit
to Florida and became impressed
with the business possibilities pre-
sented there in the railroad field, in
connection with the development of
winter resorts.
He built the Florida East Coast
Railroad and later erected the Ponce
de Leon and Aleazar hotel at a cost
of $4,000, 600.
His greatest achievement was the
extension of his railroad from Miami
to Key West. For many years his
plan was ridieuled as impracticable
and was called "Flagler's folly" The
opening Of this overseas line was
regarded as one of the engineering
triumphs of the age.

Gov. johnson Signs Land Bill.

CALIFORNIA; alien land bill became
the law of the st ate Monday. Against
the protest of Japan and the
representations of President Wilson
and his personal envoy, Secretary of
State Bryan, Governor Johnson sign
ed the bill, and ninety days after the
adjournment of the legislature, or on
August 10, the act becomes effective.
While the governor was signing the
bill the steamship Korea was pass
ing through the Golden Gate bearing
two distinguished Japanese, one a
former pupil of President Wilson, on
a mission Of Investigation. Mean
while complications, national and
sectional, beset the bill. Over
shadowing all is the outcome of the
negotiations now in progress between
this country and Japan, which has in
terpreted the act as discriminatory
and offensive.
Within California itself the act has
encountered triple hostility, which
may delay its actually until Novem-
Der 1914. Democrats opposed state
legislation at this time, as a measure
of party regularity. Nevertheless,
so plain to them seems to be the de-
mand for the bill that, after exhaust
ing all parliamentary tactics, the SEN
ate gave but one adverse Democratic
vote. and the assembly but two.

though nothing was given out for

But. il appears. the japanese of
Hawaii are looking forward with
eagerness to the suit which. in their
opinion, will establish their right to
