six pioneers was GO years, and each had
lived in Bon Homme county for an
average of over 40 years. One of the
six, James Keegan, has resided in the
county 81 years; Alberto Benedict and
William Hoagland follow, each with AZ
years to their credit; Ira Smith has 40
years; Hon. James II. Stephens, 3S, and
J. d. Welshman, 81. All are yet under
70 years Of age and all are rugged and
enjoying the best of health. They nave
seen Bon Homme county grow from a
wild and unsettled region to one of the

kota or Iowa. 1t is doubtful if any
other country in the state can produce

WATERFOWL PREFERS
THE COMMISSION PLAN

WatertoWn, s. D., Jan. u.-Upon the
tate of the commission plan OF city
government in WATERFOWL, depends the
existence of one of the pioneer and
unique pieces of South Dakota legisla-
tion-the special charter granted this
city by the legislature in 1889. Petit
tons asking for a special election to
pass upon the commission plan are be-
Ing circulated today and there is no
doubt but that the election will be held
about February /.
Back in the early days, when Water
town was but a village. the special
charter was drawn up one night by
three rising young lawyers of the city.
who presented it to the legislature and
secured Its passage. It was conceived
to meet the needs of a city of about
1000, and now that WATERFOWL has
almost 10000 people the charter Is all
most useless. In fact, the city council
for several years past has been forced
to ignore Its limitations in order to se-
cure sufficient revenue to run the city
government.
The charter Is unique in that it is h
only legislation OF Its kind ever enacted
In the state. Today there is nothing
like It, and despite the fact that it fails
to give the city sufficient latitude to
provide for its ordinary necessities, it
has been upheld twice at special cleo
called for the purpose OF changing
to the general law OF the state for the
governing OF Incorporated cities.
