GEN. CARRANzA
He Will Be Recognized Unless Mexi-
can Situation Changes Greatly.
NO. %.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 20
Prospects for the recognition of
General Carranza, it was admitted in
official quarters yesterday, are much
more favorable than at any time
since the United States began to ex-
ert its influence toward the estab-
lishment of central government in
Mexico. -
The decision of the Pan-Ameri-
can conference to study within the
next three weeks the material and
moral capacity of the elements as
piring to recognition has led to the
general belief here by officials that
unless the military situation in Mex
leo is much changed in that period
the recognition of Carranza practic-
ally is certain.

Fishing Party Home.

The fishing party which left this
city overland in two cars for White
Fish Lake in Minnesota about ten
days ago, arrived home Saturday
night. Some fine fish were display
ed as result of their work with rod
and line. C. H. Richeson is telling
about" sixteen pound pickerel
which he brought home with him
and promises to exhibit the head lat
er. The party averaged $50 to 200
pounds of fish day while at the
lake, although the hunting did not
prove so profitable. Prairie chicken
hunting is poor on account of the
wet weather of the season, but the
spot chosen by the party was an
ideal one, situated as it is in the
heart of the pine woods. Some 500
miles were travelled by the party be-
fore they returned home.

Fine Farm Sold.

H. B. Hummel has sold his $50
acre farm four miles south of Dun
combe to Mr.. Shaffer of Bellfiower,
Ill. Consideration, $56,O00. Mr..
Hummel bought this farm twenty
two years ago for $4,000. Thus an
investment of $4,000 has in twenty
two years yielded a net increase of
$4,000. There are many improve
ments upon the farm, including
$4,000 worth of tiling. All these
improvements have been paid for by
the rent of the farm itself and every
acre of land is under cultivation.
This farm has surely been an invest
ment that has made the owner
money. There is no doubt about
Iowa farm land-it is an absolutely
safe investment.

stands at the head of the great
states of the union and again there

as one of our great states. The peo-
pie of this great common wealth are

Many Telephones Put Out of Com.
mission-Basements are Again
Flooded.

Sunday nights storm was the
worst electrical storm of the year.
Telephones all over the city and the
surrounding country were put out of
service and in that regard consider
able damage was done. Telephone
poles in the country are down, some
of them having been struck by light
ming and as a result, wires are also
down.
2.43 inches of water fell during
the night, and those who were up,
say the rain fell in sheets, almost
resembling a cloud burst. In some
places windows were blown out by
the high wind which accompanied
the rain and in the vicinity of Dun
combe rumor has it that farm barn
was burned with seven head of cat
tie. 1t was impossible, however, to
verify the rumor. In the south part
of Webster county hail stones fell as
large as walnuts and good deal of
corn is reported to have been blown
down. -..
Some of the Easements along Sec
ond street were again flooded, and
the Webster City rest room was
flooded with the back water from
the sewer. The surface water ran in
such torrents into the catch basins
that the amount of water could not
be taken care of.
One year ago this week just such
a storm was experienced in this city
at the equinoctial period.

and almost entirely burned up. Wat

too, failed and the machine was de-

fire and no one attempted the use of
that this morning.

Every automobile driver in Brook
ings will agree that there is plenty of
work for road drags in this community,
both in the city and in the country.
With the increasing ownership of
autos by farmers the lawmak-
ers of South Dakota should pro-
vide for better roads. Poor roads
are a constant waste at least Of energy
and time as well as adding danger to
life and property. The residents Of
Brookings county are not enjoying the
benefit Of good roads in many locali-
ties. The time has come when the
road subject in South Dakota is ex-
pected to be considered from a broader
view point than at present or in the
past.
