ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1927 No. 50 CARLOAD OF DSN ARRIVED YESTERDAY THOUSANDS ARE PLACED IN LAKE Slalc Department Responds To The Petition to Re-Stock Waters Near McHenry Hundreds of pupils from the public •04 parochial schools and citizens of this city assembled at the McHenry depot about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning to welcome the carload of fish which the state department of conservation had announced would arrive on that day. A stranger coming on that train would have thought that it was the Fourth of July instead of May 18. After placing the immense car on a siding the crowd was permitted to go through the car and look at the thousands of fish which were later stamped into the waters of Pistakee Lake, near Bald Knob. In the tanks were black bass, crappies and silver bass, ranging in size from one to two pounds. This carload from the fish hatcheries at Havana, 111., is the first consignment which the state trill give to the waters around McHenry- It is estimated that there were about 10,000 of the finny tribe and that each one contained about 2,000 eggs, which means that if a good percentage of the eggs hatch this year there will be between one to two million additional fish ready for the Izaak Waltons who will come to our neighborhood searching for them. This consignment from the state department was secured mainly through the eforts of Rudolph Johnson, who a few weeks ago started a petition and, after getting hundreds of signers, took it to Wililam Stratton, director of the department, who at that time assured Mr. Johnson that the governor and his department would see that this territory would get its streams restocked. The state'car was filled with tanks containing the fish and cans ready to transport them upon arrival at the destination. After the immense crowd's curiosity had been satisfied the loading of the cans onto trucks was commenced and by noon the fish were swimming in the waters of beautiful Pistakee Lake. The car was most modem in every respect, being epuipped with a radio, kitchen and berths for the men in charge. Romo Bobb, local photographer, was present with his camera and got several shots at the crowd. The scholars posed for an immense group picture before returning to their studies. Everybody in McHenry now has »n optimistic viewpoint for'the future of our city and its surrounding territory. With the east and west road nearing compeltion, the north and south route in sight and the new river bridge well under way, along comes the state supplying our streams with game fish. Why shouldn't everybK) dy feel happy? McHenry is just at its starting point toward a period of prosperity. It is the "Gateway City to the Fox River and Lakes Region, the Playground for Chicago and Northern Illinois." Also the "Heart of the Golf Country." This section has enjoyed the reputation of being situated in one of the finest pieces of God's country, namely the Fox River Valley, the place where thousands and thousands of people go in the summer time for rest and recreation. There is no finer spot anywhere in the country for that purpose. Now we are preparing to provide more sport than ever for the fishermen, and it is only started for the state promises to continue sending in the fish. Come on, you Waltons, McHenry will, soon be your Paradise. Emerald Bridge Club »$he members of the Emerald Brldg^ club were pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. M. A.

The program, which was made up of selections from each of the rural schools in this locality, was witnessed by a large and appreciative audience which completely filled the spacious auditorium. Over 500 seats were sold which constitutes a full house at the auditorium and goes to show the great amount of interest taken in these exercises. The entire program was very *ell rendered and held the attention and interest of the spectators throughout the evening. As the numbers were contributed by different schools, the program was full of variety with several novel and unusual exercises given by the children. It is greatly due to the efforts of the teachers that an entertainment of this kind is put on, which gives the patrons of the schools some idea as to what is being accomplished through the year.

Freund of McHenry, a member of the county rights-of-way committee, reports that the rights-of-way on Route 81 have been secured from the Wisconsin line to Osborn's corners, two and one-half miles south of Richmond. The committee has been very successful in effecting settlements wherever there has been any damages incurred by the placing of the«new state highway and it is expected that it will experience little, if any, trouble in securing the balance of the route, which connects with Route 19, near Crystal Lake. As soon as the rights-of-way have been secured it is believed that the state will go ahead and let the contract for this route and some of the work will probably be done yet this year. Workmen are now laying cement on Waukegan street which will connect up with Route 20. It is hoped to have this road ready for travel by Memorial Day up to the railroad tracks and from there on a short detour can. be made around through West McHenry, pending the completion of Waukegan street and the approaches to the bridge over the mill pond. The Widell company, which has the contract for the construction of the new bridge over Fox River, at Elm street, 4s now laying some of the floor for the big bridge. T^iey expect to have the structure completed about the middle of September. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS MEREST TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES Assortment of Newsy Item Condensed Form Fee,.

Motion was made Tuesday evettlng of last week at an adjourned meeting of the council at Richmond to reconsider the location of the tank and tower of the water works system which will be erected soon by the village. It is believed that the location near the well will save the vilage in the neighborhood of $2,000 in the cost of piping and being centrally located will give much better distribution of fresh water to all parts of the village. Virgil Torri, 86,. Ill North avenue, Highwood, was killed early last Monday on County Line road crossing of the North Shore when his truck, in which he was hauling black dirt, was struck by a southbound Skokie Hinted. Death was instantenous. Fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the farm home of) the Silverman farm, located two and onehalf miles south of Huntley, late last Wednesday afternoon. Volunteer fire fighters from Huntley were summoned to the fire, but it had gained such headway that it was an impossibility to save the structure. Inspired by what he claims as "domestic troubles," Henry Gerberding, aged 42 years of Fox Lake hacked his throat five times at 11 o'clock last Saturday night in a vain attempt to die. His efforts were unsuccessful as he is now recovering in the Lake County hospital, Waukegan, where he was rushed after the incident. The cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Henkel at Loon Lake was picked up and thrown down at a distance of 150 feet from the foundation with such force that it was dashed to pieces in the storm of last week. Mr. and Mrs. Henkel were both in the house when the storm broke. Hiey were rushed to the hospital at Waukegan Where My. Henkel died on Tuesday evening. Jack Goodhall had rather peculiar experience recently while coming to Grayslake. He was driving his truck and just this side of Lake Villa a pheasant flew across the road, just missing the machine. Another one followed closely behind but struck the windshield with terrific force, breaking the glass and showering Mr. Goodall with splinters. The bird landed in the seat beside the driver.

Peritonitis set in, howsong once more, and it, no duobt, brought back reminiscences of the many times when Charlie was on the job, always willing to give his assistance at any program or entertainment. His friends were also glad to hear the voice of his son, Charles, Jr., in this choir and to learn that this young man is evidently following in his fathers' footsteps. The singing of the entire choir was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all who heard them and it was largely through the efforts of Mayor Frel^, that the congregation had the pleasure of hearing their beautiful voices and through the director, Charles G. Frett, for making it possible. They expect to sing at St. John's church at Johnsburg in the near future. The members of the choir who so kindly gave their time and efforts at St. Mary's church were as follows j Charles G.
