Sears, will leave soon on his vacation when his place will be filled by A. L. Wiederbeck, solo cornet player of Barrington. The concerts which will be given during the summer months by the band, are made possible through the passing of the municipal baftd proposed last spring at the election in April. The proposal called for a small tax levy of about one mill for municipal band purposes and although it was defeated at the previous election it was again brought up to a vote and the second time went over the top at the election last spring. A small amount of this tax levy has just become available and much of it will have to be used in paying expense incurred by the band last year, the amount of which was advanced by the bend members. -:?V NEW PAINT STORE RIVERSIDE DRIVE T£ Fox River Valley Decorators is the name of a Concern which is now permanently located in the Kent building on Riverside Drive and al ready has a large trade established.

The case has been continued until October 1, according to information given out by several of the defend ants. Assistant U. S. District Attorney La Verne North made the statement that when the case comes up for trial, A. H. Pouse, former state's attorney of McHenry county, who disappeared in August, 1921, will be in custody of the federal government and will be among those to stand trial. North declined to enlarge further on his knowledge of the present whereabouts of Pouse, but it is generally believed that he is not far away. Four Plead Guilty Four of the fifty-seven defendants pleaded guilty to the charge, being N F. Steilen, former McHenry postmaster, Matt Laures and John Anderson of McHenry, and H. F. Gilles of Woodstock. Many believe that if Pouse is appre hended that the mystery which has surrounded the war on bootleggers in McHenry county could soon be cleared up and that this special investigation which has been going on for almost a year could be ended. McHenry cpunty people recall the disappearance of Pouse back in August, 1927. He was a young attorney who had only been elected a short time to the office of state's attorney. He was a World war veteran, married, and was believed to be the one man capable of coping with the enforcement problem. But beer barons came ^nd went, and bootleggers soon found it unnecessary to take the ordinary precautions. The reform element in the county murmured at first and then demanded aorinvestigation. And one morning in August, 192?, the disappearance of Pouse became known. Since then there has been no trace of him and to many people the name of Pouse had almost been forgotten until Monday when the announcement was made in Chicago that he would soon be in the custody of the government. Set Date Here While the hearing was going on in Chicago Monday Charles W. Hadley, commander and chief of the operations of the special investigation forces in McHenry county, was in the circuit court before Judge E. D. Shurtleff. Hadley is anxious to have a date set for the big conspiracy case. It is understood that July 22 has been set for the trial and that inasmuch as a change of venue has been granted many of the defendants a dif ferent judge other than Shurtleff will be on the bench. It is thought that Hadley would like to get the McHenry county matter settled before winter sets in again as he does not relish the thought of driving back and forth from Wheaton every day over similar slippery, icy pavements such as were present most of last winter. It is doubtful whether the Heretofore if one wanted to be near the" water one purchased a lot on a desirable lake or the shores of a river, but now a desirable location is selected and if there is no water conveniently near a lake is made, and it seems to be about as easy to make a lake these days as ft Is to dry up the mill pond where no lake is Granted. This innovation of creating lakes marks the ultimate in evolution of the improved subdivision, prompted by the keen competition among developers of targe tracts. We have read about the pioneers who in the early days were content to clear a spot among the trees large enough to erect a cabin and make a home and from them on methods have progressed until in a still early day of the age of subdivisions, lots with no improvements but ttte surveyor's stakes could profitably be put on the market. A l a t e r g e n e r a t i o n d e m a n d e d streets, sidewalks, sewers and water with its land. Next, the idea of erecting a home for the buyer pre sented itself to the developers and more recently golf courses and other recreational facilities have been included in some of the subdivisions. Today, the purchaser of a homesite away from the city is offered a lo cation on the edge of a man-made lake. Project Includes 4,MQ Acres A project which will set a precedent for this locality as well as for Northern Illinois as being the largest development of its kind ever undertaken is about tQ be put over in the immediate vicinity of McHenry. The development will comprise a tract of more than 4,000 acres, consisting of thirty-one farms just south of McHenry. This land the Silver Lake Development company has contracted to purchase and it has also engaged Clauson and Company of Chicago, engineers, to survey the land preparatory to creating a lake of about 700 acres. This company also furnished the engineers who surveyed and laid out grounds at Mundelein and their ability in this respect is well known. Although the project is yet not a definite fact it will be only the course of a few da^s before its success or failure will be definitely known as the options on the land which were secured for sixty days will begin to expire about July 18 and by the last of the month the outcome of the gigantic undertaking will be assured. W. J. Kittle of Crystal Lake and owner of one of the largest tracts of land involved in the proposition, has been working on the project, only on a smaller scale, for the past five years and has made some very convincing investigations and completed plans very satisfactory to himself and when he was asked, to assist in securing the option on the land he was very glad to do so, hoping that at last he is about to see his dream realized on even a larger- and more magnificent scale than he lyd ever dared to hope for. A quartet of Woodstcok real estate men consisting of G. C. Petfl, W. S. Battern. Roy Stewart and Charles basin which is about one and on half miles long and one-half mile wide, the success of the project is assured. Stkkney Run is a well kaown creek which has its source far over in the county, in Bull Valley, west of Crystal Lake, and meanders in a northerly direction through the pond at Terra Cotta across to Barreville and continues due north to the Fox River where about sixty rods south of the river dam it angles sharply to the east and empties into the river.

If the huge project is carried out there will be nothing comparable to its size and beauty in this part of the state for the 150 acres of wooded land which surround the lake valley are rarely to be found combined with all the other advantages furnished by nature. The Fleming cross road which js very low will have to be raised and probably a bridge built. The fall from the lake to the river will be about nineteen feet and the lake will be about nineteen feet deep. The shoreline of the lake will be sand and gravel. Dam 1.540 Feet Long Te dam to be built on the T*ittle farm will of necessity, have to be about twenty-five feet high and about 1500 feet long and by putting a lock into the structure free access and a navigable waterway will be had through the dredged creek to the river which will furnish unlimited freedom to the owners of estates on the west and south.

If the big development project is accomplised it will very obviously open up a large territory to a host of new activities and will mean unlimited opportunities to McHenry, not only in the amount of money paid for the land, but for the vast development of the country and its resources, and it will, no doubt, open up a new chapter in the business history of this community.
