BURNING AlRSHlP FALLS

Ten persons were killed and 25 in
test flight caught fire and fell SOC
feet, crashing through the glass ROOT
Of the Illinois Trust and Savings
Bank, Jackson boulevard and La
Sale street, Chicago, on Monday after
noon.
Most of the dead were employees
of the bank. trapped and burned to
death in fire caused from the ex
plosion of the balloons gasoline tanks
as they hit the floor of the bank 70
tunda where more than 200 bookkeep
ers and clerks, nearly all girls, were
working.
The balloon, owned by the Good
rich Tire and Rubber Company of Ak
ron, o., had been flying above the
city for several hours when the acci
dent occurred. When approximately
500 feet above the bank squirt OF
fire was seen to shoot from the tor
of the gas bag near the center of the
aircraft The crowd gathered on the
street to watch the flight saw the ma
chine buckle and quiver as it started
on it's fatal plunge.
The cause of the fire which brought
the flaming gas bag down is not def
nitely known. None of the crew could
ascrbe a definite reason.
Two theories were offered. One
was that a spark from the rotary
motors set the gas afre. The other
was that the balloon was overcharged
and the suns rays caused it to ex
pand and burst, the Are following the
contact Of the gas with sparks in
the motor 1t was intended to charge
the bag with pure mixture of by,
drogen gas which it not infiammable
1t was conjectured, however, that q
quantity Of oxygen became mixed in
the charging process, rendering a
highly explosive combination.

AT the College Armory last Friday
evening a general reception was held
in honor of the new president of the
State College, DR.. Willis e. Johnson.
Invitations were sent out under the
direction of committee Of the fac
ulty and through some misunder-
standing in the manner of direction,
many were undecided as to whether
the reception was general affair or
one of choice selection. However, a
very goodly number of the people of
the city, and many from outside, were
present to extend a welcome to DR..
and Mrs. Johnson. In the receiving
line. in addition to the guests OF hon
or, were Dean and Mrs. Brown, DR..
and Mrs. Hansen, Miss Miriam Ger

orchestra under Pref Carl Christer-
sen, rendered number of fine selec-

ments at two booths in the corners
of the big armory hall. While the
number of citizens of Brookings who
We're present could have been larger,
there seems to be belief that if the
invitations haG been sent earlier or
the addresses made more explicit,
then more Of the merchants and pro-
fessional men would have been
pleased to signify their welcome to
these new residents of the city.
We desire at this time and in
this manner to extend to President

come and sincerest wishes for happy
and successful life in Brookings.

think that when 81 eight of these
live youngsters are around that grand
pa will have his hands full keeping
them all amused and that any incli-
nations for the game of golf will have
to take a back seat for ther and
more active pursuits. AS Horace has
kept young all these years by having
a young heart and love for the young
folks, it may have a tendency to not
only decrease his years, but perhaps
reduce his weight.

THE KING OF TRAILS

Representatives of the King of
Trails recently made an extensive
tour of that highway from Kansas
City to Winnipeg, going north on the
Minnesota side and coming back by
the Dakota route. These men were
eight weeks on the road and are well
satisfied with the conditions through
South Dakota. They say that at least
sixty per cent of the trail will be
hard-surfaced, most of it this year,
as the interest in the trail Is growing
fast and has become very keen.
The King of Trails now passes
through Grant, Deuel., Brookings, Min
nehaha, Moody and Union counties
and the state highway commission is
preparing to let contracts for paving
between Sioux City and Dell Rapids
as part of the permanent highway
plan. H. V. Harlan. president of the
trail in South Dakota, is arranging to
extend the trail into North Dakota.
Mr. Harlan says: ut will be nec-
sary to call a state meeting in the
near future, at point and date to be
determined shortly. South Dakota
must furnish 235 members or one
member for every mile of road. A
meeting for Minnesota has been called
for the future also. We will have an
al[Dakota trail by north extension
leading through Milbank, Big Stone
lake. Sisseton, Fargo and Grand Forks
and it will be the real road into South
Dakota"

Last Saturday, July 18th. at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs II. II. Avery
occurred a reception to these pioneer
settlers OF Brookings County as a re-
membrance of the fiftieth anniversary
of their wedding, which should have
taken place on June 22nd, but the
bad condition of the roads made II
impossible for their friends to assem-
bic from the country. About fifty of
the members of the G. A. R., w. r. c.
and their old friends were present
and a picnic dinner was enjoyed
under the shade trees of their lawn.
The Rev. DR.. w. A. Mast presented
them with a purse of ten dollars in
gold as a testimonial of the occasion
from the old settlers and these
friends. They were married in Prairie
du Sac, Wis, and came to Brookings
County forty-six years ago, where
they have since resided. The three

VALLEY FARMERS MEET

A well attended meeting of the
farmers and owners of land in the
Sioux Valley was held at the Com
mercial Club rooms last week, about
thirty or more being present The
situation as regarding the inundation
and the methods of dealing with the
surplus water was considered A COM
mittee was formed by those present
to devise plans for ditching and to
secure the support for this action.
S. J. Rudolph was elected chairman,
and other members of the committee
are L. J. Sinjum, H. K Halvorson,
James Christopherson and DR.. B. II.
Sayre. T. l. Flittie of the Bank of
Brookings, which institution is inter
ested in the success of farming in
the valley. promised that the bank
would support the movement and
would also help financially in the pre-
liminary efforts to make this feast
bic success. There seemed to be a
unanimous feeling that steps must be
taken to control the action of the food
waters of the Sioux river and as other
counties are doing the same, it would
seem that there might be concerted
action on the part Of all who are in
terested in handling the question. 1t
seems to be the only thing to do and
several have expressed the opinion
that they made mistake in not press
ing the matter a couple of years ago
when it was first agitated

AUTO DRIVERS BEWARE

Auto drivers going through Dell
Rapids should watch their step" as
the authorities of that town are ac'
cused of arresting tourists on the
slightest provocation. Turning in the
wrong direction. backing out the
wrong way from the curb and turn,
ing in the middle Of the block are all
made pretexts for fine. rather than
an admonition or caution. Be very
circumspect when visiting Dell Rapids
is a wise plan. II we had a little
more of this in Brookings it might
be an added pleasure to pedestrians,
especially toward reducing the speed
in the city limits.
