BIG PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
WILL EMPLOY LOCAL LGROF

Waterfowl, S. D., July 31.-At an en-
thusiastic meeting of the Watertown
Business Mems union a resolution was
drawn up to be presented to the city
council praying them to begin work at
once on paving the business district of
the city. Every member voted in favor
of the resolution. Cement was favored
as the material because it will give
local firms the chance to do the work,
employ home labor and utilize home
products. Watertown does more ce-
ment work than any other city in the
state.
y second resolution was drawn up
memorializing the board of county
commissioners to construct dams across
the outlets OF Lakes Kampeslza and
Pelican TO keep the water in these two
AXE at a normal level during dry sum-
mers such as the present has been.
That work on the system of storm
sewers for the city be begun AT once
was also asked of the city council.
1t was the opinion of the business
men that the city could profitably in
vest $l5O,000 in municipal improve
men5s at this time, when work is a
little slack, and thus furnish employ
ment to citizens who are looking for
WORK. The t~reasurer's report showed a
cash balance in the treasury of nearly
S700.

CONVICT LABOR is
USEFUL ASSET FOR
ROAD MAKING USES
Wyoming and Colorado Plans
for Dealing With Difficult
Problem.

Edgemont, S. d, Aug. i.-Peniten-
tiary officials of h states of the
northwest and ciSc"hcra IL the United
States, who AVE not as yet found en-
ployInent for the ~convicts of their
states, will be interested in the result
of an investigation which has Just been
made by the authorities OF Wyoming
with reference to the employment of
convicts in the work of good roads
building throughout the states in
which they are serving terms.
The state of Wyoming has a large
number of idle convicts, and for some
time how to employ them has been d
matter of serious consideration on the
part of those In charge of them. r. b.
Forsyth, state auditor, and d. A. Pres
ton, attorney general, have made a.
careful investigation of the Colorado
system Of employing convicts in road
building, and have recommended that
laws be enacted SO the same system
can be adopted in Wyoming.
Under the laws of Colorado convicts
serving time in the penitentiarv of
that state are taken therefrom and
worked upon the public highways In
what are termed gangs" averaging
about 50 men each. Each gang is I'M
der the control OF three men, employees
of the penitentiary-two oycrseers and
a The two ovs-seers have
charge of the convicts during the day,
n h Waterman is on duty at night.
, Camps are maintained. these being
provided with tents. bedding and ON
missary. A place or places of confire-
ment are not found to be necessary.
The food furnished the convicts en-
gagged in road building is of a larger
variety. and much more to the liking
of a hungry man han that furnished
at the penitentiary. No firearms arc
permitted in or about the camps. The
men assigned to perform labor upon
the highways are carefully selected,
and those who are residents OF tho
state at the time of their conviction,
have kindred ties and interests
In the state, are found to be more
faithful n less trouble to the officers.
Rules and regulations adopted for
the control of the road camps are
enforced, while faithful observ-
thereof is suitably rewarded as
encouragement TO the convicts not
to cause unnecessary trouble.
Under the law referred to the plan
Is to have the counties, cities or towns
on which the o work is being done
TO furnish tools, maintenance of con-
victs and pay fC.r the oVerseers and
this expense to the coun-
ties, cities and towns which have ex-
perimented with convict labor upon the |
streets and highways having thus far
been less than SO cents per day per
