SUNDAY

Sunday night several shots re
heard that aroused the curiosity Of
quite a number of people. The expla-
nation is that Officer Connolly first
found a couple of men just east Of the
postoffice who acted in a peculiar way,
and when ordered to stop ran He fired
a shot in the ground and when the men
reached the Cheever corner they
jumped into a standing auto and fed.
Just a little later he discovered the
real doors OF the Bunday garage open
on the alley and a man fooling around
there. This time he called for a halt
and the man ran down the alley, get
ting away between the buildings. Con-
RELY says hat he means what he says,
when he tells a man to halt, in the
wee hours of the night, and that no
one need to expect that he will be
firing any shots in the air as a salute.
No one ever accused Jim Connolly of
being scared, so if he ever tells US 20
halt we shall at once freeze fast to the
spot, We don't care to be made into
a sieve.

KING OF TRAILS HIGHWAY

The big convention in the interests
of the King of Trails was held in Kan
sas City, Kan, last week. While the
convention proper was held on the
west side of the Kaw river, we have it
on the best authority that the dele
gates were almost unanimously in fav-
OF Of spending most of their time in
the Missouri Kansas City. Personally
we do not blawe them, as four years
residence in the latter city convinced
US of it's superiority as a place to live
In.
There were several hundred dele
gates present from Texas. Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota
and South Dakota. North Dakota be-
ing absent entirely. Forty-eight went
from this state. six being from this
county. Three. E. L. Squirting, w. M.
Ckeever and j. w. Warren from Brook
ings, and three, w A. Burgess. c. w.
Koenig and r. L. Cameron, from
White. There was quite a dispute
about the location of the trail north
from Sioux City, and Minnesota was
represented by q big delegation, com
posed Of prominent men, but they
failed to convince the committee who
have the decision to make that their
state was the proper line to take.
Though the final verdict has not been
rendered. it is assured that five or six
of the committee of eight are in favor
Of the route from Sioux City, by way
of Elk Point, Sioux Falls, Brookings,
White. Clear Lake and Milbank to
Ortonville. From there they go north
on the Minnesota side of the line,
sing the Canadian line at Emerson,
thence to Winnipeg. The local dele.
cation were in the thick of the dis
cussion all of the time and put in a lot
of good ticks for the South Dakota
trail. Jack Warren was the wag Of

ought to be in jail. He made some
changes to fit it to the situation as it

ed the delegates that it was voted to
incorporate it in the record Of the pro-

Brookings county can be pleased
with the six men who represented her
at this convention. and their individ-
ual work was an important factor in
the final location of the trail.
With two important trails crossing
each other at this point, we will no
doubt have many visitors this summer
and fall as they pass in all four direc-
tons. Our county commissioners have
taken up the matter Of keeping the
highways in good condition and We
feel assured hat from now on these
two important arteries of traffic, as
we'll as the other county highways,
will be in excellent condition.

SCHOOL BOARD CLOSES YEAR

With the end of July comes the end
Of the year for the Board of Educa-
ton. DR.. e. c. Miller, who has been
president the past year, steps down
and Geo. p. Sexauer. who was elected
in June, takes his place. There are
several things connected with the
that are of interest to the public. One
very important one, Is the paying off
at this time of SO, 5000 of the bonds.
This leaves only SIS, 100000 outstand-
ing, and the board is DESTROYS that the
people should know that this was done
under the administration CT DR.. Miller.
The refusal of the people to vofc
bonds at the special election, has made
it necessary for the board to make pro-
vision for some of the departments. A
special temporary building Of frame
will be erected on the central grounds
right east of the big building. for the
manual training department. 1t will be
50x60 in size and its construction will
commence very soon. Roy Gotthold. n
State College graduate of 1914, who Is
now teacher of manual training at Mil :
Ter, has the contract for the work at a
price of $2,817.5 When this is occu-
lied by the classes under Mr.. Nesseth,
the basement OF the grade building,
formerly used by them. will be given
to the domestic science department.
Some new equipment will be neces-
sary for the manual work, when they
move into the new building and this
will be provided by the board later.
All the heat pipes connecting the
buildings with the central plant will
be taken up and replaced with pipes
as large as the mains iwth ample in
buildings will be an easier problem
than It has been in the past. This
especially applies to the Baptist
church building, which last winter
gave lots Of trouble. With the new
ripping this year no trouble is antici-
pated.
The big central building has been
thoroughly inspected and all needed
repairs will be made to place this in a
perfect state Of condition. All the
seats are being renovated by a com
pany who make a specially of such
vork and by their method all old
stains. marks and defaccments will he
obliterated. This will be done with
all the old desks and they will be made
practically as good as new.
AS regards the work of replacing the
heating pipes, 1t should be said that
this contract was let to f. J. Ray, the
lowest bidder, whose contract will call
for payment for cost of material and
labor, with sever per cent added. All
other bids were for ten per cent profit.
The board feel that they have made
a very commendable showing for the
year, and it is their purpose to have
the entire system OF education in the
best possible condition when the
school year opens in September.
