SIOUX RIVER WILL
NOT Be R|GHTED
so AFFECTED LAND OWNERS DE-
eide AT SPIRITED MEETING AT
COURT HOUSE WEDNESDAY
AVERSE TO CUTTING NEW CHANNEL
Say Expense of Diverting Streams
Course Is Toe High and Vote Down
Submitted Proposition

By an overwhelming vote of the
landowners who would be affected by
the Strengthening of the Sioux river
west of Brookings, it was decided yes
terday afternoon that the stream
would not be righted according to the
plan proposed by State Engineer HON
er NJ. Derr.
Many of those who would be affect
ed by the change are not averse to
having the river Strengthened, they
say, but they do object to the plan of
deviating it's course in the southeast
ern part of the county, as suggested
by Engineer Derr. The cost of such an
undertaking would be greater than the
benefits derived warrant, so they
claim.
A hearing upon the petition of Sep
TENDER l, 1914, praying for the estab-
lishment and construction of a ditch
for the Sioux, was held before the
county commissioners in the court
mousse dL DIOOhluSS yeSlcludy. 1hC
meeting was called at ten o'clock and
continued until 4:3O in the afternoon.
A crowd of about two hundred per-
sons attended and almost every affect
ed landowner along the proposed ditch
took a hand in the proceedings. Just
before the closing of the session a vote
was taken and the result showed that
only four were in favor Of straighten-
ing the river as proposed, the re-
mainder voting against the plan.
Discussion during the meeting wax
ed exceedingly warm at times and
much interest was taken in the ses-
sion by those present. Prominent at
torneys of Bookings took a hand IN
the proceedings, Philo Hall leading the
attack against the project and Cheever
& Cheever defendaing it. All are land
owners along the proposed ditch.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1915-11-11
Say Cost Is Too Much

The cost of Strengthening the river
under the proposed plan would be in
the neighborhood of $175 900, it is esti-
mated. Following the filing of the pc
tition in September, 1914, the county
commissioners caused a survey of the
drainage proposed to be made by a
competent surveyor under the general
supervision of the state engineer. The
engineers report was made in Janu-
airy, 1915.
The proposed ditch starts in the
north part of Brookings township and
runs thence in a southerly direction
through Volga and Medary townships,
following the river in it's general
course through this section, to the
county line bridge between Brookings
and Moody counties, a distance Of
about twelve miles. Engineer Derr re-
commended that the horseshoe bends
north of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway track be cut across and the
stream Strengthened in this manner
in that part.
However, the country is exceedingly
fiat south of the railroad track, he said,
and recommended that the ditch de-
viate from the course of the river and
be run in a generally southeastern di-
rection, finally turning more and more
to the east as it approaches the Sioux
at the Moody county line. This por-
ton of the work would necessarily be
quite expensive on account of the num-
Der of times the channel would have
to be crossed with a dredge and the
large amount of timber that interferes,
and would increase the cost Of con-
struction. But the changing of the
rivers course does not meet the ap-
prevail Of the landowners.
All are agreed that something should
be done to stop the overflow of the
river water during the rainy periods
and many think that merely cutting
OUT Iuc JULIUS dIOuS tuc oIiCdih .
present course would solve the prob
lem. If the overflow could be stopped
the valuation of the land along the
river would greatly increase, but the
question is how to stop it without the
cost overbalancing the increase.
On account of the fairness of the land
it would be a difficult matter to facili-
tate the passage of flood waters, unless
the southern part of the ditch will ade-
quately carry the water off and prevent
it's backing up and spreading over the
low land. Unless the resistance to
stream flow in the river can be les
sened in the south end as well as the
north the Strengthening of the ditch
would be fruitless.

The quest for provisions revealed
the fact that Brookings housewives are
better cooks than ever before. A
house-to-house canvass was made and
at nc time was the beggar refused.
The drove of hungry hoboes gathered
in the college jungle at the real of the
campus after their trip through the
city and examined their plumber. Camp
fires boiled the coffee and all made
merry until merry's last crumb had
disappeared.
Five Hundred Autoes Here
Five hundred is the estimate made
Of the automobiles in Brookings last
Saturday. Forty-fve cars were pres
ent from Sioux Falls, forty from Water
town, thirty from Clear Lake and from
two to twenty from Artesian, Lake
Benton, Lake Preston, Cavour, Volga,
Aurora, Vermillion, Estelline, Bruce.
Candy, Viborg, Madison, Mitchell,
C~astlewood, South Shore, Lake Hen
bricks, Toronto, Arlington, Dell Rapids,
Flandreau, Elkton, White, Bushnell
and other places. Visitors were also
present from Sioux City, Minneapolis,
Pipestone and other cities in this and
surrounding states. Several came
from Wisconsin.
The chrysanthemum show at the
college greenhouse was one of the big
attractions to the visitors. Hundreds
spent from a half to an hour revealing
in the beauties of the exhibition and
Prof. ~Stoltenberg and Prof. Landers,
to whom credit for the display is due,
were on hand to answer all questions
pertaining to the exhibit and the cul-
ture of chrysanthemums. Between 40
900 blossoms of every color and de-
scription were on display and repres-
ented $40 distinct varieties of the
genius. Huge banks Of the flowers
ranging in size from the small species
of about one-half inch in diameter to
lit "a &c OOubIC a -
conference of eighteen inches were
crowded into every conceivable por-
ton of the two large greenhouses artis-
tically decorated to represent Japan

F|ERCEST BATTLE EVER N BROOMNGS
Both Teams Fight Every Inch Of

q. n. S. Seconds Trim Volga

All interest in football circles in
the State-University game on State
field in Brookings last Saturday. By
winning by the score of 7 to 0 the
Vermillion contingent won the state
championship.
The Brookings high had no game
scheduled during the past week but
the second team journeyed to Volga
last Friday afternoon and trimmed our
western neighbors, 20 to 0, in a So
called Volga high practice" game.
1000 Attend Game
About 1000 persins attended the
game at State field last Saturday af-
ternoon. The gate receipts were ST.
1896 and the crowd was the largest
that ever witnessed a football game in
South Dakota.
And the game was not disappointing.
Playing like demons, both teams
fought for every inch of ground and
tllic duu IiHle again Inc SpeCIdIOTS
were brought to their feet by spectac-
ular plays. State has no alibi for los
ing the game; the better team won.
The defeated team is not disgraced,
they put up a wonderful fight but the
score shows the relative strength Of
the two teams. Costly fumbles were
responsible for States defeat to a
great extent, and an inch of ground
robbed the locals Of a touchdown in
the first quarter when Skinner step
ped out of bounds in a spectacular
run of eighty yards through the entire
University team.

The carly hatched puilots, if pr0ner-

n Few Facts to Remember.
Pullcts must be well matured before
they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the fall
before cold weather sets in will, as

1t is the early hatched pullets that

months to do your Matching in order

Yearling and 2-ycar-old hens do not
lay many eggs in the fall, as they are
molting at that time, and the feed
they consume goes not only to keen

but also to put on or grow q new coot
