LARGE CROWD HAD GOOD TINE At
ANNUAL SAWYER PICNIC FRIDAY

The annual Sawyer picnic, held in
Corey's park Friday was a big sue
cess in every way. The crowd was
large and there was not dull NOM
ent during the entire day. A heavy
rain started in the evening and the
dancers were compelled to adjourn
from the pavilion to the Sawyer hall
where many remained all night long,
unable to>return home on account of
the condition OF fhe roads.
Many took their picnic baskets
along and enjoyed old fashioned pic
mic dinners in the woods. The Saw
yer Congregational ladies served
lunches to the hungry crowd.
Pres. Crane of the Minot Normal
school delivered an able address on
Americanism in the afternoon. The
South Prairie Colts defeated the Saw
yer Tigers in an interesting ball game
the score being 9 to 7. Joe Havlena
pitched for Sawyer and Sillman for
the opponents.
In the farm horse race, Floyd Fran
cis' "hoss" took first; Walter Cow
ell End and A. Schilling 3rd; purse So,
IS and SO.
The Ladies' ball game was the most
interesting contest of the day. Saw
yer defeated South Prairie. Mrs.
Walter Humes pitched for Sawyer
and the opponents evidently could not
"get onto her curves. Other players
were Eva Francis, Pearl Cowell and
Inez Hayes. Lola Baker pitched for
South Prairie. She throws such
swift ball that it required man to
hold her. She was assisted by Miss
Sillman, Miss Walker and Miss Baker
and others.
Floyd Hubbard won the fat mans
race, with Bert Plowman, the Minot
Delco Light man close second. Geo.
Adeline came putting in third and was
nearly distanced. There were boys
races and girls races. Alice Rein
holdt and Miss Fleming were the win
ners.
Ten select men from North Prairie
and ten sturdy fellows from South
Prairie engaged in tug of war, the
box Of cigars being won by the latter.
Ed Jergen was captain of the win
ming team and Lon Tompkins of the
vanquished team. They pulled for
three minutes.
The light at the grounds in the
evening was furnished by Bert Plow-
r1sn, the Delco man from Minot. E.
X Skinner, president of the Sawyer
Picnic association, deserves much,
credit for the manner in which he
handled the affair. Sawyer has held
a picnic practically eveyr year since
1901 and they appear to be growing
in popularity.

CITY COMMISSIONER BOWKER
EXPLAINS SALE OF SEWAGEBONDS

Concerning the recent sale of the
$2s5, 100000 worth Of sewage disposal
bonds by the city of Minot, for which
the city commission voted to give s.
]. LaDue a commission Of 100000
for negotiating their sale, D. w. Bow
ker, member Of the city commission
said substantially as follows, in ex-
planation, in an interview by repre-
sentative Of the Independent:
GAS you know, the city Of Minot
voted $2S5,00O.0O sewage disposal
bonds at percent and the board then
tried to dispose Of the bonds. When
Of the commission returned
from tour Of inspection to Mason
City, Iowa, we stopped in the Twin
Cities and tried to dispose of the
bonds. We got offers varying from
to 5.3/4 percent but later the COM
panies backed down claiming that pol
itics was such in North Dakota as
to justify them in not investing money
in this state. We finally got into
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-07-01

touch with firm in Pennsylvania but
they too backed down. We had
about given up hopes Of disposing Of
the bonds when S. J. La Due Of Minot
told the commission he thot he could
sell the bonds. He corresponded with
the state officials and said he could
sell the bonds at percent with a
bonus and commission amounting to
$22,SO0.O0. The board felt that this
was good offer as compared to the
other offers for we were saving one
percent on S2s5,OOO.0O for twenty
years, amounting to forty or fifty
thousand dollars, consequently we ac-
cepted the proposition. It is true that
had we had any idea that the money
could have been secured from the
state, the city could have saved the
s22, 10000. We have paid Mr.. La Due
$S,OOO.0O and he is to secure the re-
mainder of the money providing no
action is taken to stop payment"
