Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1913-10-16

spent two days time going over the
new Richards primary law and have
written short article on the same
which l. believe it would be good
thing for the Saturday News to pub
1ish SO that your readers may become
familiar with the workings of the new
law"
r. P. Jones: II believe l will be
a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation of sheriff of this county.
have been urged by number of
friends to enter the contest, who seem
to think that my chances for winning
the nomination are pretty good"
Robert L. Warner: Il am glad to
see Watertown adopt the asphaltic
concrete pavement. We have it in
our city of Everett, Washington,
which has population of over 10000
inhabitants and it has been down for
seven years and does not show any
great amount of wear up to the pres
ent time. know that the citizens of
Watertown will be well pleased with
it," ~
Paul Dory: There is pipe which
l made myself. The bowl is Gala
bash which was grown in my garden
on south Maple street. / planted the
calabash seed last spring and raised
a number of fine gourds."
Nick. Marx Il think with any kind
of fair weather the asphaltic pave.
ment will be all finished next week.
1t will be quite a relief to get the
streets opened once more"
K. N Wood: Cup to Tuesday even
ing there was $4,000 subscribed for
the new Methodist church in Water
town. Geo. Gould, Of this city, who
has no direct heirs to his estate has
willed the Methodist church $4,000 to
be paid after his death from his es-
tate. 1t is my opinion shaSs there will
be very little trouble experienced in
raising the necessary $60,0OO. Every
body is coming to the front in good
shape"
Dick Schulz: Il would not mind
"butting i'm on that clerk of courts
job myself. l am in receptive
mood and in the hands of my friends"
G.. e. Wilson Il have cried a
large number of auction sales this fall
and everything goes at good, fair
price, especially cattle ard hogs. AL
msot any old COW that can stand up
and walk will bring $75 on the block.
Yes, ! got almost all the sales in the
northern part of the county where L
am best acquainted
W. A. Goyer: Mrs. Goyer and VI
returned from our old home ia st Paul
last week and want to tell you that
it looks good to see these nice wide
sidewalks in WatertoWn. In ST. Paul
the city council has already passed
an ordinance compelling the proper
ty owners on Robert street to cut off
twenty feet of the fronts of their
store buildings SO that the street may
be widened-they had to do it. You
see, when st. Paul was plated it
was never dreamed that it would
make a city with the population it /
now contains. Watertown people arel
wise-they are getting ready to build
a large city and it will surely come
only a matter of time. Lots OF peo-
pie don't seem to realize that Water
town is the best city in the state to-
day. Look at our railroad facilities;
beautiful Lake Kampeska at our very
doors; the excellent drinking water
and the way the city lays for per
feet sewer system. Property high in
Watertown now? oh, no, not nearly |
as high as it will be some day. This
city will fill up with factories of ALL
kinds in a few years and then some
of the old timers will say / can re-
member when could have bought
this lot and that lot for SO much It
will be the same old story-it has
happened in other cities and will hap
pen here. / want to congratulate the
city commissioners they are a live
bunch Of men and they seem to know
how to take hold of things to make
them move You bet your life Wa.
tertown is all right-all the time"
G. H. Lester: Il am feeling fine
and am glad to get back to Watertown
My son, Roy, and myself made the
trip with the old Imperial car and
this is the second trip it has made
