way Of Sioux City reached Storm Lake
Tuesday evening, the seat or the
Northwest Iowa conference. Spent a
most delightful week. OF all the cities
we have seen ! think Storm Lake is
the most beautiful. They have nine
miles of paving, with two magnificent
parks. In one of them is a large audi
forum which was planned and erected
by the advice OF Mr.. Gardner when
stationed there as the pastor OF the
Methodist church. The services on
Sunday, both morning and afternoon,
were held in this large auditorium.
The building would not accommodate
the vast crowd OF people, some two or
three thousand.
We left Storm Lake Monday after
DOR for Sioux City in order to hear
the inimitable Billy Sunday. Found
him the same live wire as when we
last heard him in Omaha. We were
invited to sit on the platform by Rev.
Hoon, pastor Of the first church, and
Mr.. Gardner was invited to open the
services with prayer.
SO ended one of the most delightful
trips of our lives. But be it never so
humble, there is no place like home"
and home to us is Brookings, our city
beautiful. Josephine Gardner.

Silverton. Ore, Oct. 8, 1921.

Brookings Register, Brookings, S. D.:
Dear sir: Just a greeting to all Of
our friends in Bookings and vicinity
from us In Oregon. We enjoyed our
trip from Brookings, stopping at Lilly,
S. D., where we had some relatives.
After remaining there a week We went
to Minneapolis and attended the fair
and spent a week with friends. Leav-
ing Minneapolis on Sunday morning
we stopped at Mankato and visited the
Lee brothers a few hours.
We continued our journey through
Omaha and Denver where we remained
over night. Our trip was made on the
Denver & Rio Grande railway and it
afforded marvellous scenery. Denver
proved to be quite a mining center.
We then drove to Grand Junction
and the scenery along the way is I'M
surpassed, enormous canyons, deep and
picturesque rivers wind their way along
the banks Of rugged mountains, and ii
seemed as though the train was wind
ing and winding about the side of
monstrous mountains. We could see
hundreds of feet below to what seemed
to be from that height a tiny creek,
but was in reality a river.
At Grand Junction we spent four days
with Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Anderson, for.
mer residents Of Brookings. Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson were in good health
and enjoy their little city as their
home. Grand Junction is a picturesque
little city as well as a prosperous one,
being in the center of a fruit district.
From there we passed over all kinds
of country, some good and some very
rough and arrived home the day of the
expiration OF our ticket. '
We have enjoyed a three months
visit in the east with friends and rela-
tives and have been treated royalty.
We wish to express our thanks and
good wishes to you all and should any
wish to visit the West, we will well
come you to our home.
Wishing your paper much success
during the coming year.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. e. Steen.

going home and retiring at the usual
hour, but the Monday morning light
failed to waken him and he sleeps on.
His business associates missed him
downtown Monday morning and at
length went up to his oom where they
found him dead.
Funeral services were held yesterday
at the Methodist church, the church
services taking place before noon and
followed in the afternoon by the rites
OF the Knights Templar. The body lay
in state at the church from 1920 a m.
until 300 p. III. Interment will take

ing come from the north of Ireland dur
ing the colonial period of American his
tory. His parents being of moderate
circumstances, he was obliged to work
his way through college by teaching.
His preliminary education was secured
in the public schools of the county
bash college for one term, then en-.
tered Osborn, now known as De Paw,
university at Greencastle, Indiana.
where he received his B. A. degree in
1877. He received his M. A. degree
from the same institution three years
later.
In April, 1879, upon the completion
of his college work, he went to Japan
whore he taught a provincial school in
the city Of Hirosaki. He returned to
America in 1880 and engaged in engi-
neering work on the survey of the
Glover Leaf railroad through Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. He soon returned
to the teaching profession and was as
sistant principal of the schools at
Blair, Neb. In 1885 Professor Kerr
came to Brookings as a member of the
faculty of State college, and during the
thirty-six years since that date he has
been one OF the best citizens of this
community. State college, at the time
of Professor Kerr's arrival was in its
infancy, and he played a prominent
part in the organization and early up
building Of the institution. He was be-
loved by the students and formed many
warm friendships which have lasted
through all the years. In 1894 he was
elected county superintendent of
schools and upon leaving the service
of the county, returned to State col
lege as professor of history and po
liticaI economy, which chair he held
until 1904. In 1905 and 1906 he was
private secretary to Governor Elrod.
In 1907 he became editor of the Min
nesota and Dakota Farmer, published
by the Register Publishing Co, in
Brookings, and during his editorship
it was built up to a very large circu-
lation. In 1911 he was elected to the
state legislature from Bookings coun-
ty. He was a member of the board
Of the directors of the South Dakota
Historical society and at one time was
its president. Member of the South

church member than Professor Kerr
could scarcely be imagined.
Mr.. Kerr was prominent locally n
over the state in the Masonic fraterni-
ty. At grand lodge sessions and state
conclaves of the Commandery he was
a familiar figure. He was acting Sec
rotary of the Bookings lodge No. "a,
A. F. & A. NJ. He was a 32nd degree
Mason of the Scottish rite. He was the
oldest living member in South Dakota
of the Beta Theta Pi college fraternity,

A MEMORABLE TRIP

Editor Brookings Register: Mr..

which TO convey to the readers of the

ture. II Is the greatest sight we have
beheld since seeing the Grand Canyon
OF Arizona. It Is said to be nine-tenths
OF g mile long. We were fortunate in
meeting one of the officials favorably,
who took great pride in showing us
around. We counted fifteen large
generators of mammoth size. They
furnish electricity for st. Louis, Han
nibal. Quincy and many other great
cities. II is n Of the wonders of
our age.
We were met at the train at Jack

was introduced by Bishop Nicholson to
the conference, with which he had not
met for thirty-seven years, and gave a
short address after which we were
