ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE During the illness of Harold Bel cher, who has scarlet fever, the McHenry county court reporter is being issued at Woodstock by Miss Esther Peters. According to Charles Russell, Lake county superintendent of highways, the chances of that county getting any more paved roads this years are very slim. The roads now under course of construction and which could not be completed last fall on account of the setting in of cold weather, will undoubtedly be finished early this sum- 1 mer. This stretch takes in about eighteen miles on Green Bay and Telegraph roads, seven miles on Belvidere road and about one mile on Grand avenue, a total of twenty-six miles. The C. S. Dickenson farm, adjoining West Dundee and consisting of 100 acres, has just been purchased and, according to reports from that place,* same will be laid out into lots and homes erected thereon. The Home Building association there has tfeen quite active during the past few months and it is believed that that body will start the building of quite a number of new homes just as soon as weather will permit. Dundee has experienced a shortage of houses for some months past and, according to all indications, the biggest boom that has ever struck the place will be witnessed during the coming summer.
