Six new cash-in-advance subscribers
to the Register on Saturday, the day
after Christmas, leads us to believe
that the paper is increasing in popu-
larity.
G.. NJ. Wick, one of the old time sub
scribers of the Register, braved the
storm and cold to make a trip to
Brookings Tuesday and called to ex-
tend New Years greetings.
The Register received its annual
New Years greeting from Soren Nor
gard, Arlington. Mr.. Norgaard has
been a subscriber to the Register for
a great many years and we always ap-
p~reciate these expressions of good will.
One of our citizens was arrested
last week for passing a bad check and
was fined twelve dollars. According
to the story he sat into a poker game,
which hardly sounds reasonable for
Brookings, and was trimmed and he
then wrote the check to cover up the
deficiency.

pal arch" 1t may have been rejected

it had no private mark" upon it we
were unable to identify it and have
hung it up for some Royal Arch Mason
to call and claim it.
This week the Register publishes
the first letter from Harry A. Robinson
the Pierre newspaper man, who will
cover the doings of the legislature for
this paper. Mr.. Robinson has per-
formed this work for the Register in
other years and our readers will re-
member that his news has been inter
esting and reliable. He will devote
particular attention to the matters in
which Brookings county is especially
interested.

A ON THE STREET
Boosts and Kicks From Var

A man, and a real one at that, who
lives on the water main line that
comes down Williams street from the
standpipe, complains that the water
furnished by the city is so full OF rust,
sediment and smell that it is unfit for
drinking, cooking, washing or bathing.
Inquiry tells us that at least n dozen
families residing along the same
source of supply can back up this COM
plant. Respectfully referred to Alder

PORTLAND, March 12.-Fire

coaster Cricket and spread to the
Royal Mail Glen Roy which was

The loss 1t is estimated will ex-

tai loss Is estimated at 1915, 900.
The Cricket was cut loose and
drifted against the Montgomery
dock No. /, which was saved with
great difficulty. She was then
towed ashore where she burned
to the waters edge. The Cricket
was owned by San Francisco ship
ping interests and had just dock
