The roller mill at Toronto was burn
ed to the ground on Wednesday night
of last week, entailing a loss Of $4,000
on the proprietor. 1t Is not expected
that the mill will be rebuilt as the
big mills are gradually absorbing the
business in the Northwest.
In our last issue we had a rather
glazing error in the report of the treas
urer, which was contained In the coun-

224.70 a little matter of four thousand
dollars.

THE Pink Lady," written by C. M.
S. Mcclellan, with music by Ivan Caryll
has taken it's position as the greatest
musical comedy produced in years.
With a rafting good story, full Of
rapid fun, with music that Is a delight,
an excellent cast, including scores Of
pretty girls, it Is not to be wondered
that its success has been so conspicu-
GUS. 1t Is described as a happy med
ium between the better class of must
cal comedy and opera bouffe, with the
fun evolved from the humorous COM
plications of the story. This big show
will be in Brookings March W.
We are in receipt Of a letter from
w. II. H. Phillips, who with Mrs.
Phillips, is spending the winter with
his daughter at Washington, d. c., in
which he says: II find much to do
here that is very congenial and meet
many fine people. This is certainly
becoming a very wonderful city and
in some respects promises soon to sur
pass any in the old world. l have
been at the capitol much of the time
the past four months and learned
some of the ways of congress. We
miss Brookings more than we can tell.
Do not know when we will return
home"
H. e. Lloyd writes the Register as
follows from Los Angeles: 1--WE enjoy
reading the Register each week as we
always find something that reminds
us of old times. We have been enjoy
ing having with us this winter for a
time, Mr.. and Mrs. Fishback and
others. One of the pleasures of living
in California Is the fact that we never
feel that we are going to be separated
long from our eastern friends, for they
are all coming this way-only a ques-
ton of time until they will all be here.
Our South Dakota picnics here makes
us wonder If there are many left back
there. This has been a peculiar win
ter. Lots of rain at one time, so much
rain that the natural drains could not
take care of the water. This caused
lots of damage to our good roads, but
we will soon have them repaired. Best
wishes to ALL"
