HAS M. & ST. l.. GOT 1T?

There are persistent rumors at
Sioux Falls and also at Waterfowl to
the effect that the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad has purchased the pro-
posed northern extension, Ga portion of
which was graded last fall Of the
South Dakota Central Railway COM
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad at Ortley, says a Pierre
dispatch. 1t is further rumored that
the extension will be ironed so that
the road can haul this falls crop,
which it is now expected will be
abundant. The fact has leaked out
here that Vice-President and General
Manager Huntington of the ST. Louis,
slipped into WATERFOWL very quietly
some time ago and went over the *
tension on al inspection trip, without
at that time letting his presence be
known except to a very few connected
with the st. Louis road.
The transfer would no doubt include
the large bonus which was raised by
the citizens of Watertown and Cod
dington county, which has never been
collected, owing to the failure of, the
South Dakota Central management to
carry out its contract, namely, to grade
and iron the extension. The bond was
extended last fall so that it is still col
lectable if the new road should be
operated by December 81, 1915. This
could easily be done by high grade
road contractors.

able to hit Hovde, SO no amount of

We are glad to see White win, an
opinion that is probably not shared by
some of our fellow citizens, but there
is nothing like keeping up interest in
the game and this can't be done if one
team wins all of the time. We pre-
sumo that B%rookings wants another
game, as White did previous to this
one, and this kind of rivalry is what
makes baseball.

ing there two years. Then moved to

~TSCHARNER'S HAT IN RING

Ever since the Third congressional
district was formed in South Dakota,
says a Lennon dispatch, the congress
man from that district has hailed from
gresham Eben w. Martin of Dead
wood, long held the position, and when
he voluntarily retired, Judge w. II.
Rice of Deadwood was nominated by
the republicans and Harry Candy of
Rapid City, was nominated by the
democrats. Candy won. Meanwhile,
the northern part of the district was
been growing rapidly, with the admis-
sion of the Standing Rock and Chey-
enne River reservations to settlement
and the construction of the line of the
Milwaukee railroad, and several branch
lines of that road, through the region.
Accordingly, a demand has gone up
from the northern part of the district
for the nomination of a northern man
for congress by the republicans. 1t is
conceded that Candy will be renomin-
ated by the democrats, and 1t is felt
a republican from the northern end Of
the district would stand a better show
Of defeating Candy than a Black Hills
man.
So the Lennon Signal, a strong
newspaper supporter of the state ad-
m~inistration and the progressive wing
of the party in the state, has come u
in an editorial strongly endorsing P. j.
Tscharner of Lennon, for the position.
Tscharner has had several years x
perience as a state legislator, and was
speaker Of the house in the session of
1913. He is a good speaker, Of good ap.
pearance, and stands well with the
dominant faction of the party in the
state and the Signal argues that be-
cause of these facts, and because of
his geographical location, he will give
Candy a harder fight than any other
republican who could be nominated.

sixty delegates present.
The next great council meeting will
be held at Brookings.

SHORT COURSES ARE PROVIDED

T. w. Dwight, president of the board
of regents in a Sioux Falls interview
stated that there seemed to be some
misunderstanding regarding short
not have county agents. The work as
formerly conducted by the farmers
institute board is provided for under
section 4, senate bill 25S, known as the
Lincoln bill, which reads as follows:
Section 4. State Director-Agricul-
tural courses. 1t shall be the duty of
the state director of agricultural ex-
tension work to require at least a four
days better farming school or demon
stration course and any one, two or
three day meetings, which he may
deem necessary, to be held each
year in every county in the state where
there is no county agricultural agent
and he may draft from said county
agents, subject to the approval Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, those necessary to assist in con-
Quoting such agricultural courses, who
shall cooperate with any special eX-
perts provided by the state director;
the above agricultural work taking the
place of the work heretofore conduct
ed as farmers institutes. In counties
where no provision has been made
for a county agricultural agent the
county commissioners thereof are here
by authorized to appropriate a sum
not to exceed three hundred $4,000
dollars as may be needed for co-opera-
ton with the state director in the o n
duct of demonstration courses and
other meetings conducted by him in
said county"
"The state appropriated for the
year ending June 80, 1916, the sum of
$25, 000," said Mr.. Dwight, "and for
the year ending June 80, 1917, the sum
of $4,000. This will be augmented
by government funds amounting to a
little over $4,000 annually. Under
the law the organized counties receive
the salary and actual expenses of a
county agent. There are now six
counties organized and employing
county agents. For the purpose Of
holding short courses in the unor-
ganized counties the sum of $13, 500
has been reserved.
1T has been found that the two and
four day courses are the most efficient
and popular and it is the purpose of
the board of regents and Professor
Randlett, the state leader, to hold as
many of these courses as possible.
"The people having in charge these
short courses would appreciate the as
sistance Of farmers organizations and
commercial clubs in the various com
munities where these courses will be
held in order that they may be sue
cessful and the largest amount Of good
possible result therefrom."

50 NEW HOUSES
FOR BROOK|NGS
LARGE NUMBER OF NEW HOMES
UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE
AT PRESENT TIME
At LEAST 50 NEW HOUSES TO Be BUILT
New College Dormitory, Improvements
to City Power Plant and Other
Building Will Soon Be Done

Brookings seems in a fair way to
have the banner building year of its
history. At the present time there are
3S new houses under construction and
five more are to be practically rebuilt
into new homes. This does not repre-
sent all that will be built during the
year, several others will be started at
once and it is a safe guess that there
will be over so new houses built here
before cold weather.
Those who are building at the pres
ent time or have just completed new
homes are: Nels Gullick, John De
Boer, two; John A. Lunden, Jack
Vrenegor, o. A. Burman, Prof. A. j.
Willis, Anton Dokken, Wilbur John
son, two; DR.. A. A. Harris, Andrew
Bursvold, j. w. Mcknight, ]. A. Bonell,
Manley Champlin, Clark Martin, A. Z.
Bunday, Thos. Bang, A. j. Kendall, L.
j. Kendall, John Dokken, John Sven
son, j. d. Grover, Mrs. Mary House,
Hans Usletten, A. ]. Nelson, Mrs. Blu
holtz, w. II. WEIGH, Arthur Marvin, S.
Marvin, Ole Have, Mr.. lacks, Ed.
SOrenson, S. A. McElmurry, Gilbert
Gullick, c.. Glass, II. w. Snelson.
Those who are rebuilding their home
are: John Alton, H. G. Williams, John
Whitmus, Clayton Fassett, E. c.
Nolan, Mr.. Sampson.
These new homes do not by any
means represent all of the improve
ments made in Brookings this year. A
new girls dormitory will be built at
the State College at a cost of $4,000,
the city is making improvements to
the power plant that will cost about
$4,000, the Standard Oil company Is
building a $4,000 office, the Bank of
Brookings is completing a $4,000 addi-
ton, and there are numerous smaller
items, such as garages, barns, ETC.,
that will amount to several thousand
dollars more.
The addition of fifty new houses will
increase Bookings population at least
200 during the year. At the present
time there is not a vacant house in the
city and many families would move
here if they could secure a home.
Rents are high enough to pay a good
rate of interest on the investment and
the class of tenants is good, so it would
seem that men of money would get
busy and build houses for rent. When
such good business men as T. L. Chap
pell and r. A. Pilmer consider the
building of houses for rent a good in
vestment it would seem as though
others would follow their example.
Mr.. Chappell has plans made to build
one or two houses for rent this fall,
and Frank Sherwin says If the de-
mands keep up he will build five or
six modern houses in his addition next
year.

ings. Our boys have improved greatly
since the two teams met and will be in
a position to give De Smet a battle.
The local team is playing good ball

they have been received. A few real

Brookings to have a ball team this
year, so come out and help boost.

THE CHICAGO DISASTER

One Of the greatest disasters in
years took place at Chicago Saturday
morning, when the steamer Eastland
loaded with $500 people, listed and
turned over in the Chicago river, preci-
plating its human cargo into the
water. About half Of those on board
persisted, the death list running to
1000. The people on the ship were
employees of the Western Electric
company and their families and were
just about to start for a picnic across
the lake.

TO r A BOTS DE SIOUX

Farmers from the three states of
North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa, residing in where the three states
join, gathered at White Rock to dis
Gus plans for draining the Bots de
Sioux valley. A. w Hartje, county
surveyor of Roberts county, presented
his report to the survey of the CONT
gous water, showing a total fall of
% feet from a point five miles south Of
White Rock to Wahpeton. N. D., and a
fall of 13 feet to Rapid river, six miles
north of Fairmont, N. D.
Reports Of various committees NAM.
ed to raise funds for incidental ex-
penses connected with the project
were received and approved. Owing
to the diverse laws Of the three states,
the drainage project is admittedly a
hard M to carry through. but once
carried out would reclaim a large
amount of fine farming land in Rob-
erts county, South Dakota, Richland
county, North Dakota, and Traverse
and Wilkin counties, Minnesota. In
order to avoid these conflicting laws,
1t was proposed to drain the lakes
west Of White Rock by a ditch inter
secting with a ditch running through
Richland county, and thence to the
Bots de Sioux. Another project OF
two was discussed, and a committee
vas appointed to ecu legal advice
and decide upon the most feasible
plan.
