POWER At K|LBOURN
FOR |NTERURBAN LINE
The M. L. H. & T. co. to Re-
CeiVe Electricity for the
Operation of Line

The Milwaukee Electric Light com
pany and it's subsidiary concerns
claim to have purchased all the power
to be furnished by the Southern Wis
consin Power company from the
operation of its dams at Kilbourn,
says a Milwaukee dispatch. This an
nouncement will come much to the
discontinue of THE other towns and
cities in the neighborhood of the dam,
which had hoped to purchase some of
the power when completed. John /.
BeggS has announced that contract
for the power had been closed. Less
than two weeks ago it was reported
that this power might be used to
operate the Watertown electric and
interurban lines, but now Mr.. Beggs
will use all the power that is
generated
Magnus Swenson, president of the
South Wisconsin Power company,
said that the contract with Mr.. Beggs
does not call for all the power to be
generated at Kilbourn and he esti-
mates that only about one-half of it
will be given to Milwaukee.

PALACE THEATRE
CHANGES HANDS
INTERIOR TO BE REMODELED
RENAMED THE LYRIC
Archer & Harvey Are the New
PropriGtorS and Will Make Many
Changes During Which Time the
Theatre Will Be ClOSed-Open-
inq Announcement Later.

Archer & Harvey of GAINESVILLE,
who conduct a theatre at Beloit, have
leased the Palace theatre in this city
and will reopen it about Thursday of
this week. The theatre is now closed
to allow of the necessary alterations
in the interior. When opened to the
public it will be known as the Lyric.
One of the new proprietOrs, Mr. Har-
vey, is a former WatertOWn boy, and
well known here. The new theatre
will be a five cent playhouse, that
sum taking any and all to any part
Of the house. The bill, which will be
changed frequently, will include the
latest in moving pictures and illus
trated songs, and as the proprietors
have had considerable experience in
this line there seems no good reason
why they should not succeed here in
WatertOWn as we'll as elsewhere.

DOINGS THURSDAY
BASEBALL LABOR DAY
''FONDY'BOYS VS. ELKS
Game Arranged to be Play
ed at Washington Park.

Preparations are now in full swing
for the big base ball game to be
played here on Labor Day, September
Z, at which time the Fond du Lac
Elks will strive to regain lost
laurels. The game is scheduled at
3:15 p. NJ, which will give every one
ample time to walk to the park, or if
walking is too tedious, the or 8
o'clock cars will bring them there
safely. A tremendous crowd is ex-
pected, however, judging from the
advance sale of tickets and it will be
we'll to go early and avoid the rush
According to all reports the Fondy
boys will bring with them $50 to 200
rOOters and it will be absolutely
necessary to give our boys the better
of this argument At any rate several
of the Watertown Elks are weak
kneed when they are out in baseball
suits, and any support from the grand
stand will be greatly appreciated.
The Fond du Lac team is practicing
every day and is being coached to
perfection by Bobby Lynch, captain
of the Fond du Lac state league
team. They will do everything pos
sible to win this game, as they were
badly disappointed in going down to
defeat before the eyes of thousands of
loyal supporters when these same
two teams met at Fond du Lac
several weeks ago.
The Elks here are not taking things
for granted, however, and are practic-
ing hard every evening, under the
careful guidance of Roman Hahn,
the city teams star center fielder.
A certain air of confidence shows up
in our boys and when the writer
approached Oscar Wertheimer and
Billy Brandt, manager and captain,
respectively, on our chances, It's a
cinch," says Oscar. "Nothin' to it,
says Billy. The lineup Of the Water
town team has not been definitely
fixed yet and will appear in a later
issue. The substitutes who are dead
sure of their positions, however, are
as follows: Mayor Arthur Mulberger,
C; ex-Mayor H. Wertheimer, p; E.

Statue in Play Grounds

The environments of st. Henry's
Catholic church and school have been
greatly improved; the climax of ALL
however, is the erection of the beau
tiful guardian angel statue on the
Fairgrounds of the school. The sta
tue is over six feet in height and rests
on base three feet high. The guar
dian angel points to heaven with one
hand, casting its looks to the little
child at its side. The members of st.

graduated for these most attractive
improvements, much more so as it is
in line with the improvements in the

A BENEFIT TO CITY
Of WATERFOWL
OORNFELD- KUNERT COMPANY
PRAISED VERY HIGHLY
Manufacturers of Bridge and StruC
turdl Iron on an Extensive Scale
and Have Met With Wonderful
Success and Given Unqualified
Satisfaction.

The work turned out by the Dorm
feld-Kunert company of this city,
bridge builders and structural iron
workers, has long been known for
it's honest material and workmanship
and wherever they put up work it is
done in a manner highly satisfactory
to those directly interested. An in
stance of that is shown by the state
ment of the engineers of Appleton
who had charge of installing the iron
work furnished by Dornfeld-Kunert
company for the Escanaba Pulp and
Power company, which recently cree
ed a large dam near Escanaba for
electric power.
An official of the company stated
that the engineers made the remark
that the work turned out by the firm
was of a first class kind and there
was but little trouble in having it
properly placed, something which is
an exception in structural iron work
Less trouble was experienced than is
usually found with work of this kind,
which speaks we'll for this firm.

DODGE CO. TO HAVE
AN INTERURBAN LINE
OHIO CAPITALISTS BACK OF 1T
-HUSTISFORD ON LINE
Electric Road viii Run From Mil
Wdukee Touching at AShippun.
NeOShO, HuStiSfOrd, Juneau and
Terminating at Beaver Dam

If present plans do not miscarry,
Dodge county will soon have an cleo
trio railroad line A dispatch from
Hustisford says that the long pro
phesied railroad for HustisfOrd prom
ises to become a reality at last. The
road is to be an electric railway and
it will be known as the Milwaukee
and Western. The plan is to tap the
rich part of Dodge county which is
not afforded good railway facilities
and the road will pass through Aship-
pun, NeOshO HustisfOrd, Juneau and
terminate for the present at Beaver
Dam, with the other terminus at Mil
waukee This is not the Beggs line,
but is one with Ohio capitalists be
hind it.
Twelve miles Of the right of way
have already been secured and the
site for the HustisfOrd depot has been
donated. The project has the sup
port Of all right minded people, as it
should have. The line will handle
not only passengers but freight also,
and the proposed line, affording di-
rect connection with the metropolis
of the state, would be of untold value
not only to every resident of the cit
les and villages along the route, but
also to the farmers as well, as it will
bring a market for their products to
their very doors.
In speaking of the line the Juneau
Telephone says: Mr.. VIM. Stein
bring, an employee af the Milwaukee
Northern Interurban Electric road
came out from the cream city last
Tuesday evening, for the purpose OF
assisting a force of surveyors in lay
ing out the contemplated extension
Of the Milwaukee Northern road. Mr.
Stenbring informed a Telephone rep.
resentative that the company he rep
resents intends to make a line sur
vey from Hartford to Beaver Dam
via Hustisford and Juneau at once
He says that the intention is to build
a belt line from Milwaukee through
Hartford, Juneau, Beaver Dam, Wau
pun, Fond du Lac, Port Washington
and back to Milwaukee. At present
the line is in operation between Port
Washington and Milwaukee and it is
the intention of the company to make
the contemplated extension and com
plete the circuit or belt at the earlies
possible date.
