Sunday . ..... r"T^^'controversy over the proposed ' »'. Bgw dam for which $175,000 was appropriated for its construction somewhere near the point where the Fox ..-." (String of ten lakes empties into the river and several miles north of Mc- . i&nry, is increasing in publicity and • the interest taken in the question to - rsach an extent that a committee from the Fox River region intend to go tc Springfield as soon . as Governor t Small returns to his office to protest 4f> the chief executive. - ' ' ' . At the start of the trouble over the location of the dam the Fox River Protective association was organized by residents of McHenry and of the --JFox River valley for trie purpose of protecting the river and the interests of the inhabitants of its region. This association held a meeting at the city hall on Sunday afternoon at which the * officers and a representative from each subdivision along the river were present. At this time the problems relating to the very vital subject were •discussed and it was decided to send a delegation to confer with the governor at Springfield at the first feasible opportunity. It was also thought advisable to call a meeting" of the mayors t of the cities along the river in the near future for the purpose of ascertaining just where the people in each ' locality stand on the subject. Seek Secretary Davis' Aid A letter was also authorized to be written to Secretary of Labor Davis, - who is interested in the welfare of Mooseheart, to solictt his aid and engage his interest in our behalf. One of the important facts brought out was the necessity of obtaining more f members for the association as it will probably be to this body that the opposition and the State will look when calculating the forcer for and against the proposed dam. It should be of vital interest to every citizen of Mc- .Henry to make this organization a success as it is only by this means of preventing the building of the new dam that the prosperity of our city - • secured. - Blank applications were given out to the representatives of each subdivision and anyone wishing to join may do so by notifying the representative of their district. Applications are also to be had at the office of Ben Stilling on Riverside Drive and at the store of A. E. Nye on Main street, where anyone who desires to help this cause for the safety of McHenry is ^ invited to come and enroll in the organization. The present membership is comparatively small when taking into con- « sideration the large territory affected McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1927 FORMES McHENRY GIRL MARRIES Miss Margaret Long Bride of Mr. "Leo Dwyer of Huntley-- Ceremony Tuesday On Tuesday morning at 7:30 o'clock lit St. Mary's church at Huntley, occurred the marriage of Miss Margaret Lone: of Elgin and Mr. Leo Dwyer of Huntley.

" * It was the first visit of the federal "sponge squad' in McHenry county ahd considerable beer as well as liquor was confiscated in the raid.

The beds are coming back again in good shape. This will be good news to thousands of peojrle who have made yearly visits to this wonderful bed. Three years ago during the high waters in the spring these plants were partially drowned out and for a long time it was questionable whether they would ever bloom again. The next year there were no blossoms nelius (Con) Shea, a former president of the Chicago Janitors' Union, had the distinction of receiving the federal squad. Sam Salverson's dance hall and roadhouse near Burton's Bridge was also caught in the path of the raiding Squad. The bar in the Oak Park Hotel on Pistaka Bay, operated by Billy Mertes, was visited by the prohibition boys. The Riverside Park house near Crystal Lake closed shop for the day when the dry agents took away the owner. At McHenry the squad visited the Brewery Station, operated by Mike Worts, the West Side filling station operated by Gilles and McKune and a parlor near the Northwestern depot operated by Theodore Schiessle. Beer Dumped in Sewers Samples of beer were taken in most all of the places and what beer was found on hand was dumped in the sewers. In the places where whiskey was found the owners were taken to Chicago prohibition headquarters while the others were forced to give bond to appear in Chicago today. The thirty-five agents were divided into squads of five each and made their attack in a battle front formation. The raids were made about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and caused considerable excitement and comment over the week-end .
