BROOKINGS AT CHAUTAUQUA

On the annual South Dakota-Minne-
sofa Day at the Big Stone ChautauQua
the State College and the city of
Brookings had a large share in repre-
senting this state. Beginning at 11:OO
in the morning, when the State Col
lege Military band arrived on the
grounds until late in the evening the
hundreds of people in attendance from
both South Dakota and Minnesota
were given the privilege of hearing
the Brookings talent. Our Hon. Philo
Hall, Ex-Congressman, spoke in behalf
of the state of South Dakota while
Prof. Hedge sans and Prof. Christen-
sen led the State College band in rous-
ing selections. Ideal weather condi-
tons prevailed so that an enormous
At 200 the State College band gave
a half hours concert which was fol-
lowed Immediately by the speakers of
the day. Hon. Philo Hall and Ex-
Gov. c. A. E%berhardt of Minnesota,
both gave excellent addresses. Then
followed a free-for-all excursion up
Big Stone Lake during which the band
again played. During the evening
Prof. Hedge sang and a fireworks dis
play was given. Pres. Perisho of the
college is platform manager of this
chautauQua.

INDIAN BOY DROWNED

David Leoleboer, an eleven year old
Indian boy from Riggs Institute was
drowned in the Sioux River last Thurs
day afternoon. He and several other
small boys from the school were down
to the river playing and went in swim
ming. Where the boy went down it is
quite deep, but two strokes of a swim
mer would have taken him beyond all
danger. 1t is thought the young fellow
lost his head when he got out where it
vas deep, with the above results. The
alarm was Immediately given and the
body recovered in a short time and
taken to the school hospital but it was
too late to resusticate him.-Flandreau
Herald.

e STATE LAWS

Under constitutional provisions all
laws which are not passed with the
emergency clause at the last session
of the legislature became effective
the first of July. Among the new laws
is one of special interest to all school
officers in the state for under this law
in the future every school district will
be required to publish an annual re-
port in a newspaper published nearest
to the geographical center Of the dis
trict.
Another of the new laws permits a
city commission to levy a tax of not
to exceed l mill on all the taxable
property within the city for the pur-
pose Of providing a fund for the fur
nishing of free musical concerts to the
public.
Another of the new laws makes a
change in the manner of securing mar
riage licenses in South Dakota. Ac-
cording to the old law, the license con-
sisted of one certificate and the license
itself, both of which were required to
be returned to the clerk of courts after
being filled out to be filed. The new
law provides two certificates and the
license. The license and one certif-
cate are to be kept by the party mar
ried, while the other certificate is to
be returned to the county court house.
Another law amends the blue sky
law and does away with features of
the old law which were unconstitu-
tional.

RESERVE BANKS CROP REPORT

The FederalReserve Bank at Mime
apolis sends out the following crop re-
port for June:
The outstanding feature of the
course of business in the Ninth Dis
trict for June has been a growth of
confidence in crop yields this year,
which has had the effect of creating a
better degree of optimism and has pro-
duced a gradually increasing activity
in all lines.
At this date the outlook is for excel
lent yields of small grains. During the
month there have been reports of dam
age to barley, oats, fax and rye, due
to unseasonably cool weather. 1t Is
probably that in some localities these
crops have been hurt, but it is not be-
lieved that there is any damage serious
enough to affect the yield, except as to
rye. Out of all the farm crops, corn
is the only crop hat seems to be SER
iously affected. Continuous rains and
cool weather have neceSSltated replant-
ing in many sections, and in some Sec
tons corn has been %replanted the Sec
ond time. The crop is everywhere
backward and the rains have made it
difficult to get into the fields and cul-
tivate.'
July and August are the months that
will make or break the corn crop.
Grain experts maintain that the crop
still has a sufficient length of time be-
fore early fall .frosts to mature, pro-
vided it gets warm, growing weather
without delay. The past ten days have
witnessed some break in the continu-
Gus rains and there has been an in
creased amount Of sunshine and warm

The smoke nuisance to people liv-
ing in the vicinity of the power house
is a cry unimportant phase of the
real question involved which is this:
Is the present location a proper one
for the plant? Any person familiar
with city building is bound to say no,
and it is freely admitted that a grave
mistake was made in putting it in its
present location.
For this first mistake the citizens
may not have been altogether to
blame, but should they allow the same
mistake to be made the second time
they will richly deserve censure for
such a shortsighted policy.
1t may be a statement of fact that it
is cheaper to repair the present plant
than to remove it to a proper location,
but that fact is neither reas n nor
argument for permitting an unsightly
thing on one of our principal streets.
"A hiShC tcot ioi OH ditlIlV
designed for long service, if a good
quality Is thereby obtained is a prin-
ciple of economy familiar to all. And
the present question involves the
beauty of the city as well as economy.
The citizens are expected to build
sidewalks. plant trees, and improve
their houses and grounds beyond the
point of utility in an effort to make a
beautiful city. Shall we then permit
the city itself to p%erpetuate such a
blot and to add such an excrescence as
the contemplated railroad tracks to
carry coal directly to the power house?
Cities do not carry on their h~ousekeep-
ing on conspicuous streets, and a
garbage can on the lawn would not be
more out of place than the power plant
in its present location.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S MINES

The following despatch from WASH
ington, shows that South Dakota has
some wonderfully rich mines. We are
prone to talk OF our great agricultural
resources and we sometimes lose
sight of the fact that We have within
the borders of the state the richest
100 square miles in the world. The
dispatch says:
The value Of the gold, silver, and
lead produced in South Dakota in 1914
from 80 productive miles, 10 of which
were placers amounted to S,431,343,
compared with s~7,424,333, as reported
by Charles w. Henderson, of the Unit
ed States geological survey.
The gold output in 1914 was 354,75S
fine ounces, valued at 1888. sos, COM
pared with 354O71 fine ounces, valued
at 1919, 294, in 1913, an increase of
$14,214. The production of silver in
creased from 172, TOP to 1852 fine
ounces. The production of lead in
1914 was only 1897 pounds. The
placer-gold output amounted to only
68 ounces.
South Dakota has produced in the 3S
years of it's active output, from 1876
to 1914, inclusive, 1876, 2S7, $40 in gold
and 5,S32,66 fine ounces Of silver, with
a commercial value of 4,213,674, a
total of 1S9, Sol ,314.
A total Of 2,019, 262 short ions of ore
was mined and treated in 1914, com
pared with 1893, 1877 tons in 1913. or
this total, 2,O17,S $50 tons was treated
in the mills in the state, yielding ST.
273,702 in gold and 1854 fine ounce
of silver, with an average of $3,605 in
gold and 0.0S6 ounce in silver. The out
put of smelling ore (1,3SO tons) aver
aged 2,O47 ounces of gold and 2,94
ounces Of silver to the ton.
The Homestake mine and mills were
operated continuously throughout the
year and made an output of 1,5S7,774
tons, compared with 1,540, 961 tons of
ore, S 6,1S6, $50 in bullion, and an aver
age of $4.01 a ton in 1913.
In addition to operating its siliceous
ore mines and mill, the Golden Re-
ward company continued experimental
work with the roasting of the suphide
or "blue" ore before cyanidation, both
at the 75-ton Wedge rooster at the AS
toria shaft and at the mill at Dead
wood. Custom ore was also handled
at the mill. The new Mogul mill at
Terry was placed in operation early
in 1914 and continued active through
out the year on company and custom
ore. The Trojan mine and mill were
operated at increased capacity. The
Reliance mill was operated on com
pany and custom ore. The Wasp No.
2 company, which was inactive for a
short period in 1913, resumed opera
ton of it's mill early in 1914, mining
by the open-cut system and using a
steam shovel for stripping. The Bis
marck 200-ton cyanide plant, in opera
ton since April, 1913, was closed In
September, 1914. The Deadwood-Stan-
dard cyanide plant was operated for a
period Of lessees. Some ore was ship
ped from the Rattlesnake Jack mine,
in the Bear Butte district, and from
the Heidelberg and Monarch mines, in
the Two Bit district.
The yield from placers in Custer and
Pennington counties was nominal.
Some production was made at the
First National lode mine and mill, Hill
City, and at the Ohio lode mine and
mill. keystone.

ing and a pool for bathing and possibly
for rowing in the summer.
In the mind of the writer the most
important point in connection with the
plant is the heating system. The pres
ent location Is the most central that
can be obtained and a change in the
location will impair the present efic-
iency. Good service will be more diff
cult to maintain and the cost will be
greater. Under these conditions it is
extremely doubtful whether the city
council or the citizens of the city will
he justified in changing the location
of the plant. If it is moved where
will you put it?
The council believed it was acting
in accordance with the wishes of a
majority of the people when it decided
to keep the plant in its present loca-
ton and still believes so. That the
present location Of the power plant
has kept and is keeping people out Of
Bookings is rather flimsy on the face
of things. High taxes will this effect
more than anything else we know of.
Many people are interested in munich
pal enterprises and wan to visit ours
when in the city. A back alley loca-
ton does not leave the best impress

Next Monday the people of Brook
ings will have the opportunity to vote
on the question of the location of the
new power house. Little enough seems
to have been said about it publicly, but
one will be able, effectively, to express
his opinion.
1t would seem to be a good plan to
state in a very few words the exact
issue. There still seems to be the
idea hat a new location is desired
chiefly because Of the smoke nuisance.
| feel sure that this is not at all the
real point at issue. Wherever the new
plant is it has been shown conclusive
ly that the smoke can be very largely
eliminated, and the city fathers will
know enough to do that.
The real issue is between the finan-
cial question set over against an at
tractive city center. 1t will cost more

new location but there will be a con-
slant expense due to a loss of heat
efficiency resulting from a longer car
ry. This may not be balanced by a
saving in the matter of hauling the
coal, if the plant is situated nearer the
railroad. And yet should this absolute
ly determine the matter? We do not
expect to get something for nothing,
and the real question is: us the saw
ing of this corner for some more beau
tiful and appropriate building worth
the amount we must pay to move the
power plant to a new location?" 1t is
the same question that we must ask
whenever we buy anything. Money is
of absolutely no good except for what
it can bring US. The writer believes
mo- only that it is worth it now, but
that it will be increasingly worth it as
time goes on. Brookings is rich. Much
has been done for her, by the govern
ment, by the state and by the county.
She has built herself two school build
ings, a city hall and after much hard
work a library. Here is an opportunity
to buy something worth while. Will
she do it? An Optimist.
