PRESIDENT OF c. & N. w. DEAD

William A. Gardner, President of the
Chicago & North Western Railway and
the Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis e.
Omaha Railway, died May IL, at his
left his desk in Chicago about ten days
ago for a brief rest, and his end was
sudden. His wife was with him at the
time Of his death. Funeral arrange
ments have not been completed and
announcements will be made later
The passing Of the president Of the
North Western was a shock through
out the railroad world today. Officials
Of the lines of which he was head paid
tributes to their chief today and re-
yealed characteristics of the man
which they believed aided him in
reaching one of the highest stations
in the transportation world.
Mr. Gardner was 81 years old, and
entered the service Of the North West
ern as a telegraph operator in 1878.
Since that time his advance has been
steady, stepping upward from one
grade to another until in 1910 he be
came president, succeeding Marvin
Hughitt, who was made Chairman of
the Board of Directors, and retaining
all former activities and interests.

The sudden death of Fred S. Pruyn
at his home in Clark last Friday came
as distinct shock to his friends who
supposed him to be in prime health.
The cause of death was due to heart
failure. Mr.. Pruyn has been editor and
publisher Of the Pilot-Review almost
since we have known him which was
along in the early 'S0's. He was al,
ways a very transformations man but
endowed with splendid qualities. He
understood the printing business
thoroughly and was one of the state S
most successful publishers. The Reg.
lister extends to the family its deepest
sympathy

BRookiNGS COUNTY LAND

Farm lands in this community
where the wonderful advantages of
State College can be had, can be pur-
chased for from SOS to $125 per acre.
The 5000 land so or 60 miles further
south produces no more and has no
better marketing facilities than the
Brookings county land, and here the
educational and rural advantages can
not be excelled. So far this season
there has been more than 100000
bushels of small grain marketed in
Brookings through the local elevators
for which very good prices have been
paid and the prospects for the farmer
have never been better. In fact there
has been from 100000 to 100000 so
far this season paid to the farmers of
the trade center of Bookings.
The Brookings county climate is
considered by experts the best climate
for chickens in the United States. The
poultry business in the state compares
very favorably with that Of any other
industry. The 5.610,5S7 fowls in the
state last year were valued at approx
mately $2,SO5, 293 so and to this may be
added over thirty million dozen eggs
worth upward to seven and half mil
lion dollars. Brookings Is quite a
poultry center and there are several
breeders of fancy stock in Brookings.
This proves to be profitable business.
They claim to receive the best returns
for The money invested in raising
chickens. The 1915 record gives
Brookings county 95,s69.50 worth of
poultry which produced the enormous
value of $275,947.50 in eggs. Combin-
ing the two the poultry business meant
1871. 459.50 for Brookings county in
1915 The improvements Of the farms
of this district and the intelligent agri-
cultural knowledge displayed by the
occupants has placed Brookings coun-
ty the peer of South Dakota's agricul-
tural region.

PRIZE AWARDED FOR STORY

In the Register story contest, Tor
which three prizes were offered for the
best story on "Why Families Should
Move to Brookings," brought to light
much good talent and many reasons
why Brookings is a good place in which
to live.
Thirty-seven stories were submitted
and the judges scratched their heads
many times in an effort to determine
who should get the prizes, and most
Of the stories We're so well written
that they regretted each one who sub
mitted a story could not be given a
prize. Some who wrote stories fail
ed to observe the rules and conse-
quently prize winners were, doubtless,
disbarred.
The best story and the one awarded
the $500 cash prize was written by
Elizabeth Brown; the second best
story and the $3.50 goes to Marjorie
Mathews; and the third with a prize OF
$3.50 cash to Marshall Knappen. The
next best story was submitted by Ina
Cole.
The prize story appears this week in
another section of the paper.

But Massachusetts Delegates
Declare They Will Stay with
Him to the Last.

CHICAGO, June Senator
Weeks. Of Massachusetts,. released
his delegates. In the balloting yes
terday Weeks had 1O5 votes.
The announcement Of Senator
Weeks's withdrawal followed closely
on the news that Sherman had re-
leased his delegates. The decision
OF the Weeks and Sherman leaders to
abandon their candidates. and In the
case Of Illinois to support Justice
Hughes. became known early and
had potential influence in deciding
the course Of followers OF other IA
vorite son candidates.
Senator Weeks announced that he
no longer continued the fight and
when pressed for a statement said
simply he had informed his support
ers that while he greatly appreciated
their loyalty he desired now that they
cast their vote for some other can
didate. a large part OF the Massa-
ehusetts delegates indicated they
would stay with Weeks until the end,
but II Is understood his supporters
from other states generally will be
for Justice Hughes.
No one would undertake to spea
specifically for Fairbanks follow
ers but II Is quite well understood
that they would not longer press his
candidacy.
Involved in this case is the ques-
tion OF the vice presidency and even
the senatorial race In Indiana. Two
senators are to be elected IN that
state this year and In whatever the
Indiana delegation does Il will have
regard 10 this fact, The leader,
