NATIONWIDE IMPROVEMENT

Reports Of widespread business
growth and activity comes from all
S ctions of the United States. Brad
streets weekly review sums up the
conditions by saying that the state OF
trade is very active. Brisk buying is
general owe the entire country de-
spite increasing prices on many COM
modities. The wholesale and jobbing
houses are fully occupied with orders
for goods. Practically every industry
is working at capacity. The railway
traffic has reached such proportions
that the lines east of Chicago to New
York are becoming blocked On account
Of congestion of export goods in New
York. There seems to be no letting
up of the demand for cars to move the
freight shipments. Labor is reported
scarce in all sections. Scarcity of raw
materials is one of the most noticeable
checks on the forward progress of the
country. Bank clearings heavily ex-
coed those Of one and two years ago
and banks have plenty of cash, but
borrowers seem more independent
than heretofore.
The report of the northwest says:
Business continues good and the out
look for the future is bright, regard
less Of the steady advance in prices.
Orders for future delivery exec d
those of last year. Building opera
tons are active
Collections in both cities and coun-
try are reported good.

RECITAL AT COLLEGE

A very pleasing recital was given
Tuesday evening in the college audi
forum by Miss Helen Ferguson, grad
uate pianist, assisted by Miss Mar
garet Campbell, contralto. Notwith-
standing the very bad weather and the
counter attraction in the armory, the
recital attracted quite a number of
people from both town and college
and those in attendance expressed
themselves amply repaid for their
trouble.
The program was perhaps n of
given as a graduate recital here and
Miss Ferguson met its difficult re-
quirements, not only very ~creditably
but very brilliantly. The dramatic
qualities of the first movement from
the Sonata Fathetique, the List
Etude, and the Chopin Funeral March
were very we'll brought out, while in
the lighter work Of the List Gnomen-
reigen and the final movement of the
Sonata she appeared to splendid ad-
vantage. A very pleasing number was
tie slow movement of the Sonata with
its peacefulness and beautiful melody
SO beautifully expressed. The first
movement of the Rubinstein Concerto
which closed the program was given a
very brilliant rendition and gave her a
splendid opportunity to display her
skill both in technique and interpreta-
ton.
OF the solos by Miss Campbell, the
Aria "My Heart is Weary" from "Na-
deshda" was by far most enjoyable.
This number is ~strikingly adapted to
her voice and her tonal qualities were
very rich and beautiful. The Cradle
Song by Kate Vannah was also a
very pleasing number although the lat
ter two of the group, Ronald's Down
in the Forest" and Becker's Spring
tide" were rendered with equal taste.
This recital was the first of FIVE or
six which are to be given, announce
ment of which will be made later.

NEW SECRETARY OF WAR

The selection of President Wilson of
Newton d. Baker, former mayor of
Cleveland, Ohio, to fill the place of sec
rotary of war made vacant by the
resignation Of Lindley Garrison was
announced Monday.
When the president was forming his
cabinet in 1913 the place of secretary
of the interior was offered to Mr..
Baker but was declined because he
vas mayor Of Cleveland at that time.
Mr.. Baker is forty-four years of age
and a lawyer of considerable note. He
served as private secretary to Post
master General Wilson in President
Cleveland's cabinet when he was TWEEN
ty-ive. He became city solicitor of
Cleveland in 1912 and held that posi-,
ton until elected mayor. Reform
movements have claimed much of his
attention during the past few years.

ELL|S-HALL STORE
CHANGES HANDS
GEO. w. coBEL, CASHIER OF FIRST
NATIONAL BANK BECOMES
NEW OWNER
RETIRING MEN UNCERTAIN N PLANS
Store Will Be Under the Management
Of Fred Cole Former Shoe Mer-
chant Of This City

A deal was closed Tuesday whereby
the Ellis-Hall Co. department store be-
came the property of Geo. w. Cobel,
cashier of the First National Bank.
The store will be in charge of Fred
Cole, who vas formerly in the shoe
business in Brookings.
Mr.. Cobel, while a new man in
Bookings, has seen the advantages
offered here and has accordingly taken
advantage of them. First he bought
the First National Bank, next the
building occupied by the Jarvis Hard
ware company and then the Ellis-Hall
store. Mr.. Cobel deserves great credit
for being faI-sighted enough and loyal
enough to bank on Brookings and her
future. There is every evidence that
the past growth will be continued into
greater expansion and he will not be
disappointed in his acquisitions.
1t is to be regretted that the men
who made up the Ellis-Hall store
reached a conclusion to dispose Of
their store. During the three years the
store has been under the ownership of
Messrs. Ellis and Hall it has grown
into a store which would be a credit
to any city and one that bespeaks a
sign of considerable confidence on the
part of the men who started the store.
The public generally will regret that
Messrs. Ellis and Hall have seen fit
to retire from the merchandising bust
ness and it Is hoped that their plans
will keep them as residents Of Brook
ings and as business men.
Mr.. Ellis is uncertain in his plans
bet he hopes that things will come
about whereby he can remain a resi-
dent Of this city. Mr.. Hall says hat
his plans for the future are somewhat
unsettled but he hopes that develop
ments will make 1t possible for him to
engage in another line of business In
Brookings and remain here.

a small amount for dragging. In max
a positive plan how we can spend our
money to better advantage and get
good results. The total milage in this
commissioner district Is e~ighty-three
and all is graded with the possible ex-
ception of three miles, leaving eighty
miles that should be dragged. | do not
think it possible to get good results by
dragging roads just ore time over. l
believe they should be dragged twice
over each way and by so doing the
whole of the grade will be covered and
properly crowned without leaving a
ridge in the center, and at the same
time you will also provide proper drain
age and where it should be. 1t is gen
orally conceded that roads can be drag
ged once " at a cost of 60 cents per
mile. 1t seems to me that twice over
could be done for S1.00. II a team
hitched to a drag will walk three miles
in one hour three miles can be gone
over twice in four hours for which
$500 would be a fair wage. | contend
that eighty miles of our roads can be
dragged twice over for $4,000 and ten
times during the summer for $500. 90.
This would be money well spent and
according to law. estimate that there
are 800 cars in this commissioner
district and at $500 each will create a
fund Of 100000. After thoroughly drag
ging this eighty miles of road in the
$4,000 left.

identity of Mr.. Dooling as his effects
was secured in Watertown at the E. H.
Decker home where he roomed and
this coupled with the fact that he had
left for Hayti established his identity.
Mr.. Dooling is known to have been in
Denver about February 21st. An en-
ployee of the Register received a letter
from him bearing that date and his
name and initials are correctly given
as we'll as his occupation. If the
identity is correct he is we'll known
in Denver. For two or three years he
was connected with the Farmers Life
Insurance company,of Denver, as a
stock salesman. He resided at the
Shea Hotel but was not known to
have been living with his wife. He
was at one time prominent in politics
in Illinois and was said to have been

RICHARDS LAW LOSES OUT

The United States supreme court dis
missed Monday the injunction filed by
citizens of this state to prevent the
operation of the 1915 primary election
law which is now in effect. The SUI
preme court ruled that it had no juris-
diction in state matters pertaining to
election laws. Richards contended in
the state courts that the act was in
valid because it had not been submit
ted to a referendum vote. The lower
courts decided against him and the
action of the United States Supreme
Court affirmed the decision of the
lower courts.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
city council was held Monday evening.
The usual monthly bills were allow
ed. The resignation of r. H. Ander.
son, alderman, was presented and &C
cepted. In view Of the fact that his
term expires in the spring it was
deemed advisable not to call a special
election to fill the vacancy on the
board. A petition bearing fifty or
more names was presented to the
council asking that the c. & N. W., be
asked to clean out the accumulation of
cinders and soil under the 9Th avenue
subway and make some needed re-
pairs. One of the aldermen stated
that he had talked with Roadmaster
Erwin concerning the matter and that
as the frost was out of the ground.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on streets and walks and City
Attorney Trygstad was also requested
to take upwith the company by letter
the matter of putting in a steel sub
way full width Of the street.
The semi-annual report of City
Treasurer Haroldson was submitted.
An ordinance prohibiting the smoking
Of cigarettes by minors on the streets
and public places was given its second
reading and on roll call was unani-
mously passed and approved. An or
dinance was passed amending chapter
thirteen of ordinance number n pro-
viding for an extension of the fire
limits. An ordinance establishing a
city dumping ground was passed.
Alderman Conklin made the state
ment that the action of the council in
granting a permit to Mrs. Emma Davi-
son to make certain additions to the
building now occupied by l. X. i.
Grocery store had brought forth con
siderable criticism from citizens Of
Brookings and it was his opinion that
the permit should be cancelled. A
