Gen. Conklin Visits
Watertown This Week

Gen, S. j, Conklin, of Clark, was 4
WATERFOWL visitor the first Of the
week. General Conklin was a for-
mer pioneer resident of Watertown,
having arrived here in 1879 and estab-
|Tshed a newspaper which was known
as "Conklin's Dakotan." He was one
of the most vigorous editorial writers
in the northwest and his paper was
quoted all over the country. After
residence of about twelve years here
he removed to Clark where he has
since made his home. Last Tuesday
while in conversation with q
Saturday News man he remarked that
he was just 81 years old on Monday,
the 5th instant. General Conklin has
seen a tremendous lot Of history dur
ing the years he has lived, and he
has helped to make a great deal of 1t,
especially South Dakota history
Think back a little. John Quincy
Adams was president OF the United
States when Conklin was a boy.
Major Coursey in his who's Who
in South Dakota" says. 1.-THE general
has watched with keenest interest
the development of our national his
tory. During his life the Mexican.
the Civil and the Spanish-American
wars have been f~ought-and won
He watched the spinning wheel and
the hand loom give way to the mod
ern factory; the cradle yield to the
reaper and the latter to the twine
binder; the fail superseded by the
threshing machine; the top carriage
supplant the stage coach and then
both yield to the automobile; steam
power giving away to electricity; the
telegraph, telephone, c~ablegraph, wire
less telegraphy and the aeroplane-
all glide in and take their respective
places in the onward march Of our
modern civilization. He vas born be-
fore the first railroad was built in
America Today the country is per-
meated by a mesh of railroads as in
tricate in their in~terlacings as the
organs of circulation in the human
anatomy. When he was a boy it took
FIVE weeks to cross the Atlantic. Now
it takes less than 1--WE days. He has
tarried to see the north pole discover
ed, and then split in two by Peary
and Cook for kindling wood; the
south pole also located; and the west
ern hemisphere soon to be divided In
to two island empires by the Panama
canal. What an age through which
to have liyed!"
