MAIN STREET IMPROVING

Active work on Main street is pro-
crossing very noticeably The big
ditch digger started yesterday at the
corner Of Main and Third and is go
ing south with the storm sewer to
cross the tracks of the G. & n. w.
Railway The street lighting gang Is
here at work and the curbing has been
completed by the Atkinson Paving
Company to the corner Of Main and
Williams streets. Today the block be-
tween Williams end Fifth streets is
closed while the curbs are being placed
there. Work is also going on on Sixth
street and the water mains are being
placed in the three sections that will
connect up the system with some
blocks that petitioned for water. Other
improvements were passed at the meet
ing of the city council on Monday, as
will be noticed in the report of the
council proceedings. During these
days when something is doing all the
time, it will pay our readers to keep
track Of the improvements by read
ing the report of what the council does
at their meetings.

TO BUILD NEW GARAGE

d. S. Wyckoff has purchased the two
properties on Fifth avenue, between
Williams and Fifth streets, opposite
the High school and will at once pro-
ceed to the erection of a large garage
for the repair and care of automobiles.
His son, r. c. Wyckoff, who is an ex-
perienced repair man, has been man
aging a big garage in North Dakota
for few years past, but will return
to Brookings with his family about
August first and when the new build
ing is completed will take charge OF
the business. The house formerly oc-
cupied by f. A. Evans has been sold
to p. F. Jackson, who is moving 1t
to a lot on East Williams street in
the ]. II. Roberts addition. The other
house, now occapied by Mrs. c. A.
Wills, will be moved off soon, 1t hav-
ing been sold TO Louis Johnson. Mrs.
Wills will move to her new purchase,
the Hegeman residence. 1t is the in
tention of the Wyckoffs to build
building having one hundred feet front
on Fifth avenue and extending one
hundred and fifteen or one hundred
and fifty feet back At least one-half
of this will be gi--en to complete
repair shop, furnished with every con-
venience and Appliance that is used IN
the business. 1t is their intention to
supply Brookings with an up-to-date.
first class repair garage, as complete
in every detail as is found in the big
cities. 1t will then be possible Tor
Brookings owners and those in the
vicinity to have all their work done
at home and done in one shop under
the eye of an experienced man who
knows the business. The building Will
be of cement and brick, an ornament
to the city and so situated as to be.
convenient to those passing through
The plans are about completed and 1t
is expected that work will be COM
menced just as soon as the buildings
can be moved off from the property.

BRITISH DIRIGIBLE ARRIVES

The big British, lighter than air,
dirigible arrived on Long Island on
Monday in her great transatlantic
flight by way of Newfoundland. 1t
is planned that the return trip will
occur almost at once and they may
attempt the flight by the southern
route heading directly for Spain. A
request that the big air ship sail over
some of the eastern cities is being
considered by the board of officers
in command. On the passage the
ship ran into several storms as she
neared the American coast on account
of poor wireless weather reports from
the Newfoundland authorities. Thus
another trial trip of the air route
between the continents has been tried
and with the experience gained there
is tendency to the belief that it will
only be a matter of year or so be-
fore the commercial use of air ships
will be possible in restricted COM
meTce between America and Europe.
Just at present the same is not a
practical thing and it may take even
longer than has been suggested for
safe plans to be developed for this
traffic. There seems no doubt, how
ever, in the minds of scientific men
hut what the day is not far distant
when air transportation will be prac-
tical and safe venture both for pas
sengers and freight

A TRIP THROUGH WATER

The Register is in receipt of a let
ter from Mrs. John M. Hanson, who
with her husband and daughter au-
toed to Brookings a couple of weeks
ago for a visit with friends. They
were delayed in their return to their
home at Alexandris, Mimi, by the rain
and bad roads and when they left last
W eek for home, had a very hard time
in making the trip. The roads were
almost impossible and it took them
three long days to travel 206 miles.
They travelled through water on the
roads up to the running board and
soon after they pasesd bridge near
Granite Falls, Mimi, it was washed
away. Many large fields along the
route have been washed out and the
pastures are ruined. 1t was one con-
tinual experience of being shOveled
or pulled out out of mud holes all the
way. They found the crops at home
in excellent condition and the rains
there had done very little damage.
They send their best wishes to all
Brookings friends, who will be glad
to hear of their safe arrival at home.

CITY WELCOME TO
AON0RED VISITOR
WIDOW OF w. w. BRookiNGs, FOR
WHOM CITY WAS NAMED,
PAYS US VISIT
TWO NEW BUILDINGS CONTRACTED FOR
A New Repair Garage, Largest in City,

Last evening at the Chautauqua ses-
sion the city welcomed as visitor
to her midst the widow of Wilmot
Wood Brookings, for whom the coun-
ty and city were named. Mrs. Clara
A. Brookings, who is residing with a
friend in Sioux Falls, and is in the city
for visit in the section of the coun-
try where the name of her distinguish
ed husband is perpetuated by the title
OF a county and growing city. The
lady was introduced to the large audi

PRESIDENT HOME
WITH new TREATY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE WELCOMED AT
NEW YORK TUESDAY BY
LARGE CROWDS
TREATY IS PRESENTED TO SENATE TODAY
Both Houses Of Congress Back at Work
After Recess and Debate On Treaty
May Take Two Months

President Wilson, accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson, arrived about three
o'clock Tuesday afternoon in New
York harbor after very quiet trip
across the Atlantic on the transport
George Washington. In addition to
the party of officials travelling with
the president the ship carried large
number Of returning soldiers of the
A. E. F. The ship was met outside
Sandy Hook by war vessels and es-
cOrted into the harbor, where It passed
through lines of forty-five vessels of
our navy. A tremendous welcome was
given the president by the people of
the city and crowds gathered from
neighboring states to do him honor
as the chief executive of our nation.
A long line of escorts proceeded him,
after the landing, to Carnegie Hall,
where he gave an address in response
to the welcome presented by the gov
ernor of New York state and the may
or of New York City. Practically no
reference was made to the treaty or

the program for the same to be pre-
sented to the senate by him some time
this afternoon. He brought with him
not only the American draft of the
treaty with Germany, but also the
various protocols which have to re-
ceiye the sanction OF the senate He
also has the compact whereby this
country agrees to support France and
this will also be given to the senate
for their approval. The German treaty
makes $50 printed pages, having the
French and English text printed side
by side. There are some differences
between 1t and the one given out in
the United States. but it is said that
these are simply matters of details and
do not alter them to any extent of
the original text. The message in
which he presents the treaty is ex-
pected to take about 5000 words and
will be delivered by the president in
person. The senate has cleared away
all important business and is ready
to give the matter its immediate at
tention. Prediction is made that there
will be long grind over the issues
on party lines and that it may take
months before the senate is ready to
pass on the matter for a final vote on
the acceptance or rejection of the work
of the peace conference.

ENFORCING PROHIBITION

Some questions have been asked
about the new legislation introduced
in congress for the enforcement of
the national prohibition law. 1t has
been thought that perhaps the law
would prohibit the sale of certain
medicines and preparations that con-
tain alcohol, but are only used for
strictly medicinal purposes. A inter-
view with the attorney for the anti
saloon league, in Washington, brings
forth the following explanation:
"The national enforcement code will
not prohibit alcoholic preparations or
extracts unless they are sold for bev-
erage purposes. The provision in the
federal code safeguards the interests
of those who sell these preparations
even more carefully than many Of
the states. The provision in the South
Dakota law prohibits these COM
pounds and other liquids which are
capable of being used as beverage.
Nebraska, Montana, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, North Dakota, Ohio, Delaware,
Oklahoma, Washington, Wyoming,
and some other states have in their
laws similar provisions. The dealers
in legitimate alcoholic preparations
and extracts are still selling them in
these states. The proprietary medi-
cines and extract manufacturers and
others have presented their claims to
both the house and the senate judi
ciary committees. They have amend
ed the bill AS it will finally '11isto
acted into law it will not .eot o., any
legitimate industrneDar" congress
will have no motive for placing upon
the statute books any provision Of
law that will bring just criticism upon
the legislation. Those who are dis
turbed by the right to sell these non
beverage alcoholic liquors will find
that their fears are ungrounded'

STATE OF TRADE.

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
shows it active. Trade, prices and
industry strong at mid-year Few
signs of seasonal slackening. Steel
trades increase in activity, with prices
stronger. Apparel trades lead, with
slow deliveries chief cause of COM

We have the same condition in the

water flowing in pipe we have
electricity flowing through a wire,

see, therefore. that we must have
something in the circuit which will abb
sorb this momentary high pressure.
The condenser is used for this pur.

A condenser is made of two or more
sheets of tinfoil which are separated
by a sheet of insulating wax paper.

the steel is constantly being drawn

words, vibrating. Each time the steel
