PLEADS FOR STATE HIGHWAY

Secretary Frank Glasner turned
owe to the state treasury at the close
of the fiscal year, $9,280.S3, as the
surplus out Of the automobile fun,
and interest upon the same amounting
to $233.25. this interest being the first
ever secured on funds coming through
the department of the secretary of
state. says a Pierre dispatch. In re-
gard to the situation for next year
Glasner puts a good suggestion in
the following:
"The earnings of the automobile de
partment for next year will probably
exceed $11, 900 above the expense Of
the maintenance of the department.
This amount added to the earnings Of
the past year, will place in the general
fund of the state something like $20,-
900, contributed solely and absolutely
by the automobile owners of the state.
If this fund were to be appropriated
for a state highway across the state,
it would give South Dakota one of the
best state roads in the union. mas
much as the intent of the law licensing
automobiles was for good roads pur-
poses, it is highly appropriate that the
accumulated funds should be used for
good roads purposes"
The state fund is Is cents out OF
each Sc collected, the balance going
TO the counties, specifically for road
improvement, and in this line many
counties have formed automobile So
cieties, the members reporting any
particular place in the roads which
needs improvement to their secretary
who presents the need Of this work to
the county authorities. The black and
yellow tags selected for next year
were so selected with a view of adj
vertising the Black and Yellow trail
across this state on the line from Chi
cago to the Yellowstone park. by way
of the Black Hills.

CLOSES
Program This Year Was Pleasing One
And Was a Success Financially

The annual summer chautauqua
closed on Tuesday evening, after a
pleasing program of eight days. The
curse this year was a good one On
the whole and the majority of chau-
tauqua patrons were well pleased with
it. There were no unusually strong
numbers, but with n or two eXcep-
tons they were all good. We think the
first number was worth the price of
a season ticket. The week was also
a success from a financial stand
point, there being a little surplus
after all expenses had been paid.
Brookings is one of the best, if not
the best, cities on the circuit, and the
attendance has been good here every
year the c~hautauQua has been held.
The chautauqua is a splendid form of
entertainment at a moderate price,
and it is a credit to the people of the
city and country that they have patron
lied it so well.
Prof. Kerr, the local manager, has
worked faithfully to make the week a
success, and he is entitled to the
thanks of chautauqua patrons.
On Monday evening pledges were
taken for next years chautauqua and
the response was so gratifying that
Brookings is assured of being on the
circuit another year.
Prof. Tibbitts has made a very cap
able platform manager and the friends
he has made in Brookings would be
glad to have him return next year.
The weather during most of the
week was very warn and this NJ
doubt kept down the attendance some
what. Brookings is very fortunate in
having such an excellent place to hold
it's chautauquas, although we must ad.
nit that the patrons would appreciate
cushioned seats.
Thursday afternoons program was
an interesting lecture on the Holy
Land by Madam Mountford, a native
Of that country. In the evening Her
bert Bigelow delivered an address on
the constitution of the state of Ohio.
Mr.. Bigelow has been prominent in the
reform movement in Ohio and talked
principally on the many good features
of Ohio's constitution, evidently not
being informed that the constitutions
of South Dakota and other western
states have all these good features and
some more besides. The preludes for
the day were furnished by the Spring
sisters.
Friday afternoon the speaker was
Prof. c. w. Wassum, who gave n of
the very best lectures of the week. So
we'll pleased were Brookings people
with his address that arrangements
were made with Mr.. Wassum for a re-
turn engagement some time during the

fall or winter. The Riheldaffer-Gaitey
Concert Company gave the afternoon
prelude and had the entire evening pro-
gram to themselves. The members of
among the most popular entertainers
of the week.
Saturday was a day of good things.
In the afternoon Miss Fola La Toilette
gave her address on woman's suffrage,
and drew one of the best houses of the
week, in spite of the hot weather. Miss
La Toilette has a very pleasing person
ality and delivered an address that con-
tanned much good common sense. Her
strongest point, we believe, was the
contention that today the home and
the local government touch on so many
points that it is absolutely essential
that the wife and mother have a voice
in public affairs. Miss La Toilette was
ton of a suffrage speaker, and she
undoubtedly made many friends Cor her
cause. Saturday evening Father John
DAILY gave a very entertaining lecture
on marriage and divorce, this being
one of the strong numbers of the week.
He dealt in a very practical way with
the home life and gave much good
sound advice. The HoOsier Male Quar-
tette furnished the preludes for the
day.
Sunday was another good day. In
the morning union services were held
at the pavilion, and a strong sermon
was delivered by DR.. +. p. Hall of Bar
aboo, Wis, a former Bookings pastor.
The afternoon speaker, DR.. Chas N.
Pace gave a very interesting and en-
tertaining address. In the evening a
company of Ojibway Indians were the
attraction, with a lecture on tribal Gus
toms and traditions and an exhibition
of their work. The latter was especial
ly interesting and some of the pieces

art. Prof. Christensen's orchestra fur,
nished the music for the day, and it
was in the opinion of all with whom we
have talked, the best of the week.
DR.. Mattison w. Chase was the lee,
turer on Monday afternoon, his SUBJ
ject being Big Bugs and Big Hum
bugs" He gave a very enjoyable ad-
dress hat was replete with good phil.
osophy. The Shorter Players gave the
afternoon prelude and the entire even
ing entertainment. The company got
by all right with the prelude. but they
were a little bit light to put on an en-
tire entertainment.
The last day the program was very
good. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills gave
a great lecture in the afternoon, and
the music by the Tamburican orches-
ira, which furnished the evening en-
tertainment, was one of the treats of
the week.

CASA GRANDE'S CITY
ENGINEER IN PHOENIX
Says Casa Grande Suffered as Much as
f.. Other Districts, but Farms Have
Shown Improvement

Frederick Cornick. city engineer for
the newly organized and incorporated
town of Casa Grande, is in Phoenix for
the Xmas vacation and will remain
over today. He arrived here on the
last train through from his section OF
the state, and is at the present time
awaiting the starting of the schedule
prior to returning to the desert city.
That the rains of the last week hit the
Casa Grande district just as DISASTROUS
ly as they did the remainder of the
state, is the statement of Cornick. Sew
cral adobe residents in the city were
washed badly and finally, after they
had been deserted. they fell apart
There were none injured under the col
lapsing walls.
The damage to the new canals which
are under construction in the neighbor-
hood Of the desert city is at the pres
ent time unknown. according to the
visiting engineer To date the country
out from the city is so badly overlooked
that they have been unable to make an
examina ton OF the project to ascertain
what damage the flood and rain water
has effected.
The rains of the past week, says
Cornick, Fave placed the new crops of
the Casa GIande farmers in prime con-
dition Farley and other forms of
grain planted since the fall, ard al
falfa and other feed crops, have taken
on new appearances since the start of

CHRISTMAS TREE IS
SOURCE OF GREAT JOY
First Municipal Entertainment Has
Established Custom in Mesa.
Many People Remembered

The first municipal Christmas tree
held in Mesa yesterday afternoon
at the Vance auditorium proved a
great success. Hundreds of people
congregated at the spacious hall and
signified by their presence they were
interested in furthering an institution
destined to bring happiness and
good cheer to thousands of people
annually. While hundreds of chill
dren were gladdened yesterday they
were no happier than the people who
were instrumental in making the
affair a success. The program was
one of merit and brought forth
many rounds of applause from the
apreciative audience.
A large amount of the success of
the affair is due the untirins efforts
of the transportation committee.
Throughout the day Thursday the
members were busy distributing many
god things and did not stop until
every unfortunate one throughout
this section, whose names they could
learn, were made glad However the
Gcod things and did not stop until
late yesterday Many children who
had no means of getting to the audi
torium were provided with automo-

Every youngster who was present
yesterday pronounced it the best en-
tertainment that they had ever at
tended and they went away from the
auditorium voting it a success.
