Great Need of Public Parks
For Waferf0Wn al Lake Shore
For Fairgrounds Of Future

If Watertown should now provide,
while the providing is. good, while
grounds may be secured at something
like a reasonable price,fo future
public parks, places wherein and
whereon citizens may repair for a
days outing, where bathing facilities
are ample, where shade is abundant,
where those without automobiles or
other private conveyanees may go on
foot. If necessary, future generations
will bless the day that produced the
men with forethought sufficient to
prepare and preserve such public
places.
A railroads.&c. the lake would be &

for boating and bathing and tennis

been negotiating for it provided the
council accepted the board S Views.

South Shore Rejoicing
Over Prospective Oil

The South Shore Republican CON
tains the appended report concerning
the beginning of operations for as
certaining whether oil is to be found
beneath the surface of the earth in
the region of South Shore:
We have been boosting and taking
oil ever since the middle of last
March. One thing and another has
come up to hinder the beginning Of
operations. We have been called an
"easy mark and much fun has been
made of us because of our faith in the
men who compose the makeup of the
South Shore Oil and Gas Co., but at
last the machinery is herethe men
are here-the coal is on the ground;
likewise the casings Mr. Weay-
er tells as that the drill will be pat
in motion not later than Mondax, the
21st, 1t will be kept going. both day
and night The huge derrick towers
SO feet high, while the smokestack of
the engine is close to SO feet high.
Great blocks and tackles that must
be handled by power, also huge
wrenches are spart of the equipment.
Its a sight thab anyone who has lived
away from TIE Dill fields will be in
terested in seeing. We have faith to
believe that we have Oil, for if they
had no such faith they would not be
here, and the fact that it is going to
cost them $40 100000 in cold cash and
that they viii not sell any ssock at
any price, makes it look good to us;
and while we have no financial inter
est in ths company nor any land or
options: J: vet We believe there is oil
here and in paying quantities; and
we are going to 'hs from Missouri
until it is Demonstrated to us that
we are wrong. Now pvt up your

Suffrage in Colorado.

the state has been benefited thereby

the women vote qnite generally, espe-

bosses Of both the republican and
the democratic parties rue the day

A. o. u. W. Building
Credit to Watertown

That the "A. O. & w. building rs
one Of the most conveniently ar
ranged, SO far az the second floor iss
concerned, in this portion Of the state
is evident to any casual observer.
The construction has proceeded So
far as to indicate in detail Just what
the arrangement is throughout. The
floors have all been laid, the parti-
tions adjusted, and even the wood
work gone over, in part, by the paint
ers and decofa tors.
Arriving at the head Of the stair
way leading to the second Apor, one
steps only to the left few feet to-
stand in front OF the check-room
where wraps are left in charge OF an
attendant whn hands out dheck ais
he receives the same.
b On the right is the main ante-room:
leading into the lodge room proper,
which is 44x7o feet, without piYar or
other support for the roof, thus leav-
ing the entire floor space free from
membranes or hindranees.
Ihe capacious kitchen is at the rear
OF the ante-room, SO arranged as to
permit serving in the lodge room
proper or In the small reception room
in case Of a small party Of friends.
There is a ladies recertion and
waiting room. and another Of similar
size for the gentlemen, connected with
which is large smoking room. The
two rooms may be thrown together te
form one, il desired.
There are Ikatories for the ladies
and also for the men, and private
clothes rooms for each, in addition
to the general apartment for the
wraps.
1t is understood thai the second
noor has been leaed to other lodges
of the city, 80 that II will be occupied
every weekday evening Of the week
Altogether it is believed that no city
I'm the state will have finer lodge
rooms than those equipped for the

are occupied BY the 4. 4 Shaw fur

Shurtleff Says Lane Must

Compliment to Mr.. Lampy

(The Saturday News of last week
sharply criticised Accountant Shurt-
left. We take pleasure in printing in
today's edition his explanation and
his statement to the effect that all
vouchers were on hand when he ex-
amined the books. If suspicion were
to be aroused at all, in has opinion,
it was because OF the eyactness in
the order of filing the vouchers nd
in keeping the accounts The satur-
day News certainly has no desire to
do an injsstiG to Mr.. Shurtleff, or
to anyone else. 1t suggests perusal
of his communication on the part of
readers of the paper, when each for
himself may make deductions from
the facts. The sub.teadings are ours.
