good advantage in the scheme, while

with fine table accessories, and the

The little Scotch wizard was the
center of interest, both before and
during the banquet. In his quaint
but forcefuI style he admonished the
people that they should get together,
cut out any little differences of opin-
ion and all work for the common
cause, the welfare of WATERFOWL, and
jnpidpnta11V the Reyes lines.
May Build Line.
Until he arose to speak no one
knew just what Mr.. Beggs would say
regarding the extensions of lines out
of WATERFOWL. He intimated that
Watertown would be the hub of
system extending in all directions.
He also stated that the line to the
fair grounds would be constructed
next summer, but added that such
line would be a part of the Main
street system and the company would
ask for a right of way in Second street
south. The old survey going south
in Montgomery street would be aban-
doned for the present and a direct
line run from Main street south to
Johnson Creek, Jefferson and James
vile, with a spur to Lake Mills.
That's as far as Mr.. Beggs would go
as outlining plans.
happy incident of the evening
was the speech of H. w. Heinrichs,
vice president of the M. D. Wells
company, which employs large
force of people in this city. Mr..
Heinrichs evidently believes that Wa
tertown is an ideal spot for factory
purposes, as he stated that in no 9th
err city where his company operated
was there such ideal conditions for
the workman or woman. The Wa
tertown employee was a contented
one, in most cases owning his own
home and satisfied with his surround
ings. The factory started with a
small payroll which was constantly
being added to. He recalled re
mark made by President Wertheimer
to the effect that in the last nine
years $4,000 had been donated by
the business men of the city for in
dustrial development. Mr.. Heinrichs
said that from a small beginning in
Watertown the factory which he rep
scented now employed It's people and
its capacity would be doubled in the
near future. No other city in the
United States offered the qualities of
workmanship and environment which
Watertown did. The ideal spot
where every workman was happy and
contented, where lawlessness was I'M
known and where the right of per-
sonal opinion was held sacred.
Mr.. Heinrich s speech was one of the
happy incidents Of the evening and he
was heartily cheered at its close.
Other speakers were Mayor Arthur
Mulberger, w. d. Sproesser, w. F.
Whyte, Gordon Bacon, Hon. w. F.
Voss, Fred Kusel, H. G. CRUDE, W. P.
Roseman, Gustav Buchheit, F. c.
Werner.
Attorney Gustav Buchheit in a hap
by vein proposed that John l. Beggs
and H W. Heinrichs be added to the
roll of honorary membership of the
Watertown Advancement association
