The Register fell in the wake of
the epidemic of mi2fortunes caused by
slipping on ice this week. Our efficient
foreman, Il. +. Phelps, was shovel
ing snow from the roof of his house
Wednesday morning when he slipped
and fell to the ground, severely
spraining his wrist. AS a result he
is wearing his arm in a sling and the
Register is making it's appearance d
day late.
The high school play, The Gypsy
Trail drew a large house at the col
lege auditorium on Tuesday evening
and made a splendid success. The
students making up the cast did some
of the best amateur work ever seen
here and a large share of the credit
IS 10 doubt due to Miss Hazel Klieb-
enstein, instructor in public speak
ing, who directed the production of
the play.
b. G. Killing, in RENTING for the
Register from Duluth, says, I'VE
have had a most delightful whit 81
here SO far, with the exception of a
very cold snap during the week of
January 22nd. Business conditions
here are improving and the general
opinion is that they will continue to
improve from now on. | am very glad
to say that the Register came regu-
larly each week during 1921 and has
enabled me to keep in touch with
what has been going on at home"
Work at the power plant is being
held up awaiting the arrival of an ex-
pansion joint for the steam fittings
for the big new engine. All Of the
other equipment has been installed
and is ready for a test run. AS soon
as the troublesome joint arrives, it
will take but a short time to hook
things up and give the new engine
and generator a try out, according to
Supt. E. w Hyde. The new engine
is a beautiful piece of machinery and
the massive generator is a source of
pride to any engineer. With this new
outfit connected up with the new
water tube boilers, Brookings will
have one Of the best power plants in
the state.
