The Brookings power plant has a
supply Of about W. hundred ton of
coal on hand at the present includ-
ing a shipment Of fifty IONS which
was received this week. This is
sufficient to run the plant about a
month. Every means possible TO con
serve coal is being employed at the
plant to make the coal reach as far as
possible. The city has purchased 500
tons but it is not known when it will
arrive. In order to get the coal it was
necessary to pay a considerable in
crease over last years price. The city
is obliged to pay over twice the former
price for coal at the mines. Before
new boilers were installed the plant
consumed about $50 tons of coal a
month. Since the new boilers have
been installed the consumption has
ing amounting to about 800 a month
ever since the new equipment was
put in operation.
In writing to this paper under the
date of September 2, John F. White,
Secretary of the South Dakota State
Fair makes the following statement
relative to this years state fair. Re
ports reaching this office indicate that
the belief is prevalent in ONE sections
that the State Fair for 1929 has been
abandoned on account of the railway
situation. There is no foundation
whatever for such a belief as the
management has not altered its plans
in any me With an overflow of
exhibits in all departments assured,
only favorable weather is needed to
make this years fair the most sue
cessful held yet in South Dakota. This
office has been fairly buried under an
overflow of entries during the past
two weeks, ard it is being found neces-
sary to remodel some of the buildings
and to construct others at the last
hour to house the overflow. We have
received positive assurance from the
heads of the railroads that operate in
South Dakota that all exhibits intend
ed for the State Fair will be given
preference and will be moved as salts
factory as in normal times. Special
!, trains with exhibits will be moved to
Huron from the Minnesota and Ne
braska State fairs"
