Plaindealer: ^ "M I have received a number of inter- «. #Hting letters in answer to mine con- > - oerning the maintenance of the dam, ' f. Which appeared in a recent issue of four valued paper. I" am pleased to . * %e able to report that the great mart Jority of these express a desire on the If part of their writters to help care for the river, but a minority would apparently like to see the plan fail. I give > , herewith a short summary of the more" '• interesting letters from the objectors: Letter No. 1. (From a resident of McHenry.) States that the cottagers . receive all the benefit of the river and jV should bear all the expense of its improvement. That McHenry would be . better off if the summer folks remained away. Objects to the proposed sewer system and is displeased / with thfe high school district Remembers with regret when farms were taxed at ten cents an acre. Apparf ently is willing to have the river fulled up by the roots. Kicks on cotlagers m general and in particular Seems to think that the undersigned Should be led out and shot at sunrise. Letter No. 2. (From a storekeeper In a small community to the north of McHenry.) States that he does not ^intend to chip in toward the dam. :• Admits a small summer-visitor trade, mostly for sardines, chewing gum and tjiweet cookies. Says McHenry takes in thousands of dollars each week and therefore ought to come down handsomely toward keeping up the river. Thinks the dam spoils a lot of farmland on the upper river. Don't bathe in the river and dont want no motor boat, nohow. Thinks that if the river was low he' might be able to spear a mess of fish now and then. Letter No. 3. (From a hotel keeper at one of the lakes.) Says the hotel business is all shot to purgatory by the prohibition craze. That what few thin dollars he makef by renting his rooms he double loses in his dining room. That the excursion boats don't stop at his pier and if by mistake or accident the boats do stop it is only to apply for toilet conveniences. That his guests and patrons are chiefly fishermen, who have better luck when the water is low. That McHenry gets the first crack and the last crack at the summer crowd and ought to pay liberally toward the upkeep of the dam. Letter No. 4. (From an 'up-river cottager.) Says that if the dam was out of the way the fish would swarm up stream. That when the last weed cutting was done the operation was better performed below and above him than in front of his premises. That the River Improvement association is a set of fat-heads. That the dam keeper ought to put in more time marking the river channel and cutting the weeds. Thinks any money raised for fixing the dam otight to come out of the McHenry store-keepers and banks, as one of the latter charged him five cents for cashing a check on a bank in Kennebunkport, Maine. Ends by expressing his firm conviction that the undersigned is a condemned fool. (He scores a strong point here). Well, Mr. Editor, should these people be sharply slapped on the wrist or would the proper answer be made with a scatter-gun loaded with salt, or shall we go back to the good old days of boiling oil? c ResjJectfully yours, Carlton Prouty, Binkie Lodge, Fox River, Manager at Congress Hotel * John Burke, a former resident of Harvard, has just been made general manager of the Congress hotel, to which 'position has has gradually risen from bundle boy. ^SCHOOL NOTES It* ma4pla tenet From Our < "' ^ttaaof Leaning Freshman Notes Anthony Bonslett was absent Tuesday morning. The English I class find "Ivanhoe" very interesting- (?). ' Evelyn Mead was absent from school Monday morning. Pearl Codding had the misfortune of severely burning her right hand last Saturday. Why are the desks of the freshmen nearly empty after 4:00 p. m.T Tests come in about two weeks. Talk about brave people! Ask the freshmen what happened ig the laboratory Tuesday morning. Some of the freshies had a very pleasant ride to Richmond last Friday night They only had four blow-outs, brokfen lights and one tire lost ^ Mr. Basinger, in science: "The light we get from the moon is called 'moonshine/ (loud laugh from class) a-a-I mean the light reflected from the sun." Sophomore Notes Cloice Wagner was absint frojn school Monday. Does anyone know why Earl was so industrious in the laboratory Monday ? The zoology class has selected physiology for their next semester work. T Herman, in English: "When people are really in love they don't do their courting in fun." Several zoology students have resolved not to use any jmore vinegar. They havt been studying vinegar eels. Junior Class Florence Conway returned to school Monday after a few days' absence. Some of the junior girls who attended the basket ball game at Richmond haven't recovered from the effects of it yet. One of the new rules is that if you whisper you have to go to the office. Wouldn't that make ta saint sore? We'll say so. When we saw the carpenters at work Monday morning we thought sure it meant a new gym, but, alas, nothing but a new door on the boys' cloak room. > Auction Sale!
