LOSE TO BUSHNELL

The Brookings baseball nine lost its
first game on the home field Wednes-
day evening to Bushnell by score of
g to 0. The visitors had the advan-
tage of two months experience while
the locals have played but one game
previously this season. The game
started about 6:45 p. m. with good
sized crowd Of fans in attendance at
the fair grounds. Bushnell went to
bat first and the first two INNINGS
were scoreless. In the first half of
the third, Bushnell filled the bases and
ran four men across the plate. They
Tailed five more scores in the fifth
and sixth innings while Brookings
still remained unable to make a single
circuit. A little wrangle occurred
when the umpire declared a fair hit
when the batter thought it was foul.
4 man on first ran around 10 third.
The batter after waiting at the plate
while the argument was going on in
the field ran to first. With the argu-
ment still continuing the man on third
sneaked home. Then the umpire took
back his decision and declared the ball
a foul and put the batter back in the
box and the runner back on first. The
game was called in the eighth inning
on account Of darkness. Immediately
following the game the American
Legion began their program for the
grand opening of their new clubhouse
on the fair grounds The band under
the leadership of Prof Carl Christen-
sen gave a splendid free concert on
the grounds in front Of the clubhouse.
A large crowd was present and showed
their appreciation of the well chosen
and carefully executed concert pro,
gram by vigorous applause. The even
ing closed with a dance in the club
house which was success in every
way. The orchestra furnished fault
less music and the dancers were in a
pleasant mood and congenial.

TRYING To MAKE
PASSABLE ROADS
BROOkINGS COUNTY is MAKING
BIG EFFORT TO REPAIR
DAMAGE OF RAIN
FEEL NEED Of PERMANENT HIGHWAYS
County Highway Superintendent, A.
}. Willis, Has Many Pro-
jects Under Way.

Roads in Brookings county have suf-
fered damage by the recent wet spring
an amount in excess of the appropria-
ton for road maintenance and con-
struction this year. There are 1900
miles of highway in Brookings coun-
ty practically all Of which is made of
dirt. When seven inches of rainfall
in one month mixes with 1000 miles
of dirt road the result is deplorable
and has aroused the feeling of every
citizen in the county that something
must be done toward making perma-
nent roads. The Register has endeav-
Ored to find out what has been done
what is planned to be done, and what
means are available for doing it.
In order to understand the situation
it must be remembered that the state
law has divided the 1000 miles of
road of Brookings county into three
divisions. The state has one road
which runs from Arlington to the Min
nesota line east of Elkton. For a time
the state claimed the road running
south of BrOOkings but at present it
is not officially known as either coun-
ty or state highway. The county has
$50 miles of road under it's supervi-
sion in the county. The other 1900
miles are secondary roads and are left
to the care Of the township boards
The state, county and township each
take care of the roads allotted to
them and are not permitted to in
fringe on one another.
A. J. Willis, county highway super
intendent, says that the county at
present is using all of its resources
of money, men, equipment and ma
terial for road building in an inten-
sive effort to get the grades up and
make passable the $50 miles of roads
designated as county highways. The
emergency issue brought on by the
recent rains is one of repair rather
than construction. Seven teams are
at work on the road between Brook
ings and Volga and the road will be
passable in a day or two. Men and
teams are at work all over the county
dragging the roads and filling holes
The program for the year as outlined
by the commissioners is the grading
OF the county highway system with
the five grading outfits recently pur-
chased and to gravel the roads as far
as possible. Preparatory to the con-
structiOn of roads the county engineer
is endeavOring to establish all of the
waterways and drainage so that the
construction will not be undone in
case of heavy rains. Eight concrete
gangs are out building culverts. Con-
siderable drainage tile has been laid
and zoo feet has been added to large
spillway. Contracts have been let
for the construction of eleven bridges
at a cost of $4,000 The bridge fund
this year is $65,OO0. There are 33
more bridges needed in the county.
The county road fund is $4,000 of
which $4,000 must be devoted to the
state road. The auto fund which can
be used for maintenance purposes
only, amounts to $4,000. The auto
fund is being spent in dragging the

Paul B. Banker, formerly county

Paris, Nov. 6.-Great- Britain and

The paper says that the British am

It is believed that the agreement

amount of indemnity paid by Germany
will be easily reached.
The separations commission, accord

FISHING
IS AGAIN ACTIVE
More Than One Hundred Boats
BusiIy Engaged in Work, and
Catch Friday Amounted to
Nearly 100000 Pounds.

After being interrupted FOR several
weeks because Of the northeaster that
prevailed for sevral days, tn local
prawn fishing industry is again as
suming unusually large proportions,
the daily catches for the past week
having been far in excess of the aver
age at this season of the year.
There are now more than one hun
dred boats actively engaged in the
work, and the indications are that the
present season will be much in excess
of any previous season, both as regards
the quantity caught, and the value ot
the product in dollars and cents.
The season has began unusually late
this year. the prawn from some un-
known reason having failed to appear
in local waters at the accustomed time
However when they did come it was
in immense quantities, the supply
seemingly far greater than in any
year since the industry has reached
any considerable proportions, with the
result that the Brunswick packing
houses and canning concerns have
been working on full time, giving en-
ployment to a large number of peo-
pie.
According to reports the past week
has been one of the most successful
of the season, the fishermen having
loaded their boats to capacity each
day. Friday was the banner day of
the week, the catch on that day reach
ing total of approximately 100000
pounds, and being only slightly below
the figure on the previous day.
There are four concerns engaged in
the prawn industry here, two canning
companies and few packing houses.
They are the Goodyear Packing Co.,
and the Goerenflo Packing Co, which
concerns ship their products to the
markets of the country in large con-
tainers, while the Glynn Canning Co.,
j. B. Abrams, manager. and the David
Davis Company, are engaged in the
canning business. Brunswick is. per-
haps, the second largest market in
the country-in the prawn and shrimp
industry, and the local product finds
Its way to every important city in the
United States, orders coming as far
away as Los Angeles, San Francisco.
Seattle and other Pacific coast states
and overseas.
