Official Paper of County and City

A MUNICIPAL SALOON
At the time this city voted
"wet" and elected John C. Knapp
mayor, there was some talk rela
tive to a municipal saloon, a
petition being circulated
asking the council to try the
matter out. Legal objections
•were raised against the propo
sition as outlined, and the plan
seemed to have been given up.
Ever since that time, however,
one would hear a word now and
then on the subject, but it was
generally belived that the scheme
had been put to sleep for good.
Imagine the surprise then,
"when the city administration on
Monday took the bull by the
horns and did the very thing
that had been declared impos
sible of accomplishment.
Sentiment differs as to the
wisdom of the move, a~d natur
ally enough a considerable
amount of feeling was engender
ed by so radical an act an act
which was so unexpected and
which so thoroughly upset the
plans of so many others. No
one here knows just how a city
owned drinking place will work
«out there is no precedent by
which to gauge the matter. Some
see failure and disaster in the
project others believe that Sis
seton will contain a model saloon,
or one as near model as is pos
sible, during the coming year,
with many of the usual evils
eliminated. But—most people
are of the opinion that at the
next election Sisseton will go so
very dry that a Noah's flood
wouldn't soak in a quarter of an
inch.

connection it is interesting to
note that an exhibition stretch of
roadway is being built at Olym
pia, Washington, by various
paving companies, each of which
is laying a sample of roadway
16 feet wide and 100 feet long
according to its own plans and
specifications, which are tiled
with the State Highway Depart
ment. This stretch of roadway
forms a part of the main high
way north and south through
the state.
Tennyson's beautiful poem,
"Crossing the Bar," has been
given a new author. In the re
port of a scoool affair at Hankin
son, N. D., given in the News,
the poem appears bodily as
the work of Zen a McKinnon.
That is going some, in the
phraseology of the day.
A Train of Automobiles.
The Sisseton Booster Club is
now busy arranging for a train
of automobiles to be linked to
gether, not by rope or chain but
by minds of men and women to
boost for Sisseton and the Chau
tauqua. At each stopping place
there will be band music, male
quartettes, speeches and other
attractions.
The pilot car is to leave Sisse
ton at 8 a. m., June 24th.
Everybody is invited to take
part. Take a day off and have a
jolly time.
All who can take part have
your name registered with W.
F. Carlberg.
Ortley Will Celebrate.
Ortley in past years on the 20th
of June has had a very large at
tendance on account of the many
attractions, such as, Indian ball
teams, races, bowery dances,
automobile races, band concerts,
fireworks and many other at
tractions which have been very
enjoy ?ble to the people of Ortley
and vicinity as well as to the
many neighboring towns each
year since its birthday. One of
the features of their grand cele
bration will be the Sioux Indian
war dance and their barbecue.—

The Gollmar circus did not get
here until about noon last Friday
and as a result the parade did
not start until after four o'clock
and it was only possible to give
one performance. This was held
in the open air, which made the
performing very difficult, as a
srong, cold wind was blowing.
The trained elephants, lions,
bears and dogs were especially
good. In fact the whole show
was all right, when all the man
agement had to contend with is
considered. It is understood that
Gollmar Bros, have put in a claim
for §5,000 against the railroad
for the delay in bringing them
here from Webster.
