OLD LANDMARKS ARE GONE

Ell PASO, Texas.-Two El Paso

Lorette academy was one of them
and the Salt Lake war barracks was
tho other.

school for monks The story cir
Culated about the ancient town OF
san Elizario, which IL declared by
some historians to be village as
old as san Augustin, Fla, the (oldest
settlement In the United States) is
that priests in charge of the mon
astery had a great sum of gold and
much paraphernalia made of pre-
cious metals. These treasures, keep
sakes and gold, were said TO be hid
den somewhere on the Lorette
grounds. For months small groups
of villagers, principally Mexicans.
have toiled long hours digging in the
ground for the buried wealth.
Back In the sos the southwest

salt in this country for its salt. A

staged at the university during the
present school year and indeed one

The body of an unidentified young

IN badly decomposed state and

the woman found Saturday morn
ing Officers had found signs of a

ing to the river bank. This theory
OF death was abandoned when IL
was declared that the body must
have been in the water a much

the two Watertown negative teams at
Watertown on Monday evening, March
6, in the final debates to determine the
championship of the northeast central

LUMBER YARD is SOLD

The Atlas Lumber Co., this week be-
came the owners Of the Brookings
Lumber and Fuel Co., an independent
yard operated by H. u. Riley. A. p.
Nord of Huron, and Mr.. Enble of Red
field, auditors of the Atlas Lumber
Co, have established offices in the
Riley yard and are invoicing this week.
They expect to take over final posses
sion tomorrow. The Atlas company
has a branch yard in Brookings, To-
Gated on the corner of Main and Sixth
street which they will move immedi.
ately and combine with their newly &C
CURED yard. The property upon which
the Atlas yard now stands is consid-
cred too valuable to be used as a lum,
Der yard, which is given as the chief
reason for the purchase of the Riley
yard. In addition they will be much
closer to the railroad sidings which is
an advantage. Hans Phillipson, man.
ager of the local branch of the Atlas
company, states that the moving o,
the yard will be practically complete
by May 1. The large shed will be
moved intact, but the other structures
will be sold or wrecked. Mr.. Phillip
son expects to see considerable build
ing activity in Brookings the coming
year.

Students and faculty Of State col
lege turned the regular Tuesday
chapel hour last week into a celebra-
ton of the twenty.fifth anniversary of
DR.. George Lincoln Browns service
at the college. For % years DR..
Brown has been head Of the depart
ment of mathematics and for the past
eight years has acted as vice presi-
dent of the college and dean of the

dent.

portfolio bearing a suitable inscrip-
ton on a silver plate. This was pre-
scented to the dean by James Salisbury,
president Of the senior class.
The faculty members, not to be out
done by the students in expressing
their appreciation Of the quarter CEN
fury of splendid service to the state
and the institution, presented DR..

The State college J~ackrabbits scored
of South Dakota basket ball team last
night at VermilliOn, 80 to 16. The
Coyotes had made claims that they
would beat State college when they
met them on their own floor at Yer
million but the decisive defeat which
they met at the hands of Coach Vests
machine must have taken consider
able wind out of their sails. The con-
test was fast and hard fought. There
were no individual stars, according to
telegraphic dispatches received, each
man Of the State college team play
ing a splendid game. During the n
tire contest but three lone fouls were
chalked up against State, which is an
evidence of how cleanly they played
the game.
The victory over the university puts
to rest all claims for state champion
ship. State college has the undis-
puted title of North and South Dakota
as we'll as one Of the greatest basket
ball teams that was ever turned out
in the two states.
Last Saturday State defeated Madi-
son normal at Madison by a score of
80 to Is. Schultz was out of the game
and Bob Coffey filled his position at
guard in admirable shape.

NEW TRAINING PLAN

A new system of training for the
disabled veterans sent to the School of
Agriculture at State college has been
inaugurated, following out plans ap-
proved by the United State Veterans
bureau. There men are not high school
graduates and annot take regular
courses. and their physical handicap
usually prevents them from taking up
general agriculture as a means of live
lihoOd.
The new plan, which will oon go
into effect, will enable these men to
select one of three unit courses for
specialized training. These will in
clude dairy husbandry, animal hus-
bandry and poultry ~husbandry, com
bined with agriculture and horticulture.
The course will comprise "a months
of consecutive and intensive training
combining as much practical work as
possible. Then the student will start
on his actual project whereby he hopes
to carry on. This project will be
supervised by the Veterans bureau
and his pay will contine for IL
months. 1t is hoped by this means
to enable these men to get established
and become self supporting. The
course Of study comprises half time
on the special unit course and half
time on such general subjects as
English, business methods, soils and
crops, animal diseases, arithmetic,
cost keeping, marketing, etc.
If any of the men have farms Of
their own and wish to Engage in gen.
eralized farming, they may take the
regular School of Agriculture course
Of five months each year designed
for eighth grade graduates with seven
months Of project work during the
growing season. 1t is not expected,
however, that many will wish to fol.
low this plan.
The men who a qualify to take
up regular courses in college in
agriculture, engineering, pharmacy
teacher training, etc, have ne diff
