Mr. Hunter's address and report Mull with a heavy applause, after which Mr. Carson arose and assured the gathering that the informant's figures were absolutely correct as he had acted on the auditing committee. Kdward SinClair, whose summer home is located at Fox Lake, nfcxt arose and gave a splendid talk alone the get-together* line, as did A. H. Sever in jf ha us. This was followed by a general discussion, in which everyone in attendance took part. After several minutes of discussion Chairman Peters once more called order and had the secretary pass membership blanks. The treasurer was then kept busy for nearly a half hour taking in money. It is reported that over $1,000 was taken in. #. A board of fifteen directors was then named, who immediately retired to an adjoining room for the purpose of electing officers and the formation of various committees. The officers elected are as follows: A. V. Hannifin, president; John A. McLean, vice president; J. C. Holly, treasurer; C. K. Davis, secretary. All of the officers elected are young men and if they fail to bring about action it will not be for the want of "pep." After the election of officers Mr. Hunter was asked to once more take the floor and explain the plan of how the river may be made navigable its entire length, from its mouth to Otta- III. He briefly outlined the plan and answered questions that were put to him regarding water levels and what effect the dam would have on the property along the course of the stream. All questions were satisfactorily answered. In this connection it is also interesting to note that in 1906 the local committee had removed from the bed of the river between the bridge in McHenry and Pistakee lake 498 rocks as well as the Indian stepping stones, which obstructed the -tveam just opposite the summer home of Otto Sohm and Justen's hotel. It was also decided during the rotirse of the evening that the annual membership fee will be $10.00 and if every boat and property owner along the river and the chain of lakes as well as the business men of McHenry can be induced to come into the organza tion the proposed plan of the assoiation will be followed out to the letter, which means that eventually Fox iver will be opened to both commercial as well as pleasure travel from its mouth to Ottawa, 111. One of the first steps by the new officers will be to increase the membership, thence pay of the present indebtedness and make arrangements for the completion of the dam. According to figures previously submitted, it will take approximately 8,300 to complete the present dam, but nothing along this line will be done until the people of' the community show that they really want it by joining the association. The west bank of tha dam has always been weak and therefore has been a continual source of trouble. In order to properly repair this end of the structure it will be necessary to remove all the muck and*thence rebuild with rock and gravel. According to engineers this is the only plan to follow in order to Eliminate the present troublesome situation. Everyone who attended the meeting on Tuesday night has taken it upon himself to interest his neighbor and by giving the officers and committees this co-operation it is believed that a membership of no less than 2,500 can be obtained. Over three hundred names of property owners residing along the river and in this village are already in the hands of the committee. The officers intend holding regular monthly meetings and the' various committees appointed have already gone to work. The Plaindealer hoped to give its readers more details regarding Hie plans of the officers and committee, but on account of lack of space we are obliged to defer this until a later issue. However, we will venture to say that it is the object of the committee to push the good roads as well as a navigable strewn.

Pins Tuesday Night 400 "ftie McHenry bowling quintet was in fine form on Tuesday evening of this week, when they defeated a team from Hebron in a three-game tournament by over 400 pins. Geier, bowling with the local outfit, proved the star performer of the evening and hit the maples for an average of 232, his high mark being 258, while his Ipw score was 212. Walter Warner, also one of the local bowlers, came out of the fray with an average of 194, sticking^up 224 in the second. Art Meyers kept the pin setters busy in the third game, when he hung up a 233 score. The liheups and scores follow: Hebron > 1st 2nd Srd Total Bowmijli, / Pellet fetv..

E. M. Geier thus far holds the high score at the Smithy alleys for the month, with marks of 258, 245 and 243.
