even such law as we o have, is be
ing ignored and disregarded by our
city commissioners in conducting the
affairs of Jul city.
These are but a few of the many
unfortunate conditions found to exist.
Then was started the organization
of the committee of public welfare
and the earnest effort to change the
form of our city government. The
committee now numbers several hun
dred voters. The organization will
be permanent, affording ready means
to secure quick action upon any i'm
proper act Of the city administration.
whether commission or council. It
has at present only one object; and
that is to change the from of city
government. We wish to change il
solely because We believe it is for the
best erests of Watertown that it be
chans~d, That is the n issue; and
we do not propose to cloud that issus
by the introduction Of any other issue,
We propose to leave all other ques-
tons to be decided upon their own
time. We long ago outgrew our for
mer meeting places in down town of,
fees, and have secured the Woodmen
hall, where meetings are held every

sions. Everyone is accorded cour,

Preparing to Renew
Operations FOR Oil
AtSoutb Shore, S. D.

Some few years ago there was con-
siderable excitement in the county
concerning the matter Of oil and gas
underlying the region of South Shore.
About the time of the height If the
excitement preceding active opera
tons, D. T.. Jones, of this city, was
called upon to investigate. He found
oil at various places, and in some in
stances was able to scoop il up with
a spoon, as it were, the oil having
settled in the depressions made by
stock in the pasture. The oil gath
cred in little ponds" or puddles,
wherever there We're sharp depres-
sions, II little holes.
Subsequently a gentleman came
from the east, or some other region,
and secured large numbers OF leases
ON various tracts of land in the vicin-
ity of South Shore, and even near
WATERFOWL, and drillers were brought
in to bore for oil and gas.
An effort was made to organize a
large company in Watertown, the
chief aim of the promoter seemingly
being to get an investigation made at
the expense Of the people of Water
town and South Shore and in the
~neighboring sections. He met with
some measure of success, but did not
raise a very large sum.
The drillers kept busy for some
ttime-in fact, several months. in one
way or another-but finally pulled up
and decamped. Whether they had
discovered evidences Of oil no one but
themselves and their intimate friends
know.
1t may be remarked, in this c0une
ton, that it is the usual way, in a
great many cases. Somebody thinks
there is an oil field somewhere. He
discovers traces of it. He causes
drilling to be done for the purpose
of experimenting. In many instances
even if oil is found, 10 n but a ia
vored few know it. The drilling
.iceases, the machinery is removed,
and the matter rests, possibly Tor
years.
Then, all at once, some one else
iumps in and bores for oil-and--oll
is found. Somebody knew it all the
time!
Whether such is the case in this
particular case is a matter OF spec
nlation. so far as the public is con-
cerned. The fact remains that east
ern parties are at South Shore and
are preparing to renew investigation
in a practical way, having occurred
leases on a large number Of tracts IN
the vicinity of the town.
The rumor is that the old oil fields
are becoming exhausted and that new
fields must be discovered in order to
maintain the supply.
And on top Of these rumors comes
the report from Washington that a
professor Rittman has discovered a
method by which vastly greater quan-
titles Of gasoline and its ~by-products
may be obtained from crude OIL thar
heretofore. II Professor R1ttman's
discovery proves to be of such prac.
teal value as he claims for 1t, It wont
matter much whether new OIL heids
are discovered for the present.

marks he again referred to the wa
terWorks company, saying that it was
among the foremost in seeking to
GUST the commission form because its
present franchise viii expire in two
or three years and it wants a renewal
upon terms dictated by itself.
In this connection the speaker
pointed out that under the commits
sion form all franchises must be sub
mitted to popular vote whereas, he
said, under the aldermanic form I'M
der the general law a vote is not OBJ
ligatory.
City Finances.
Referring to the published state
mert that under the last four years
of the Old city charter government
mot government under the general
law, but under the special charter
granted by the territorial legislature),
the expenses for city purposes alone,
not counting school expenses or ex-
penses other than for the city govern
ment proper, the total for the four
years was only $3.50, 100000, whereas,
under the first foul years of the com
mission form, the total for the same
purposes was $269, 900. 90, or $4,000
more than double, Mr.. Mcfarland eX-
planned that certain old debts con
tracted before the commission form
was adopted had been paid along
with certain bonds that he named.
This, he c~ontended, would account for
a considerable of the $139, 100000 ex-
cess.
He also pointed out certain local
improvements under the commission
form, which, he thought, would &C
count for a considerable portion of
the balance of the difference.
AS to Forms.
One Of the chief objections to the
aldermanic form, in the speakers
opinion. related to the committee
ships. He characterized the alder
manic form as a government by com
mittees, within certain limitations,
rather than a government by an en-
tire body.
Mr.. Mcfarland admitted that in the
matter of salaries paid to the govern
ing body (the commission under the
commission form and the aldermen
under the aldermanic form) is greater
under commission government than
under the aldermanic system, but he
commended that the city was, getting
the benefit of the difference in bet
ter government, and that, as a ms
quence, 1t is a matter of economy, in
the long run, to continue the com
mission form.

WAR SPIRIT GRIPS
ATLANTA STRONG
THE UNIFORMED MEN PARADE
ATLANTA STREETS TO AROUSE
INTEREST.

ATLANTA, March 23.-The war spi-
rit seems to have caught On in Atlanta
to a rather remarkable degree during
the past few weeks. The local militia
has put uniformed men on the street
to arouse interest in enlistment. and
the recruiting is going on at a rapid
rate, while the United States army
recruiting station is also receiving an
abnormal number OF applications, all
presumably because of the possibility
OF seeing actual service in Mexico.
There are in Atlanta at present not
less than eight French and English
officers, representing various buying
interests of the allies, and not long
ago the French government had a cou-
lie OF uniformed French soldiers, red
trousers. peaked caps and all, walking
around the streets here to help arouse
interest in a money raising enterprise
for the allies
War benefits and special war per
formances are the order Of the day
every Sunday in many theaters.
Hundreds of professional and bust
ness men, young and old, are planning
to represent Atlanta at whatever
"Plattsburg plan" encampment may be
established in the south for this sum
mer, while preachers and teachers are
writing open letters to the newspapers
and agitating themselves very much
pro and con on the subject of military
training in the public schools.
All in all, there is more interest in
Atlanta today in the subject of war
than at any time since the sixties. 1t
is said that the same thing is more or
less true Of the entire nation.
