Mr. Gates is the president of the Terra Cotta & Ceramic company with its factory located at Terra Cotta and in this locality much of his early life was spent. Owing to the urge of business interests and duties the past twenty years of his life have been spent in Chicago, but he is now turning over some of these responsibilities to his sons and plans to make his home again among the scenes of his boyhood days. Situated among many beautiful old oal$ trees on a hill commanding a most interesting and attractive view out over the valley and miles beyond there is a certain proud reserve to this charming example of the sunlit architecture of old Spain. Situated well back from the highway among the trees it overlooks a beautiful terraced garden which is the product of the ideas and plans of Mr. and Mrs. Gates worked out with the assistance of the man in' charge of the mason work, Herman Heidel, jof Crystal Lake. Located in the center a fountain sends up it spray to lend perfection to the scene while at each side a huge terra cotta urn is placed. The DAM AGREEMENT NOT EVEN "NEAR" (Continued from front page) beautiful piece nf hostile publicity does not know much about the reason for opposition and I believe that before this fellow says any more about the river residents that trade at my store it may be well at this time to tell or advise him that my place of business is just one good lopg mile from the river and I have yet to find anyone sd badly in need of exercise on a hot. summer's day that would cause them to walk past some ten^ or twelve market and grocery houses in order to have the pleasure of trading on the west side with Frett when they can have their meats, etc., delivered to their doors on schedule time. "As for Mr. Hunter and his boat line, when Mr. Hunter says that the putting of a dam in the Fox River at the mouth of the lake is or would be a hindrance,, to the free use of our beautiful Pox, allow me to inform the gentleman representing the Antioch News, that we sure do not propose to have anyone lock us out of the free use of some five miles of the Fox and then run up to a dam and there wait .till we are allowed up into the lakes. No More Dams in River "Speaking only from my point of view, there never will, if I can help it, be another dam in the Fox River, above the one just south of McHenry. I sailed that old river thirty years ago, rode it every summer since.

The files and cabinets in the vault are about filled. County Clerk Still stated that the vault in its present capacity is unable to house all of the records and deeds of the county and that the new equipment is necessary. The proposed highway from Plainfield to Antioch will not piass through Barrington, according to information received by Mayor J. C. Cadwallader, who says he understands that the highway is to be 100 feet in width, which would preclude its going through the village. ^ Wm. Wyatt, on the Oak Spring Farm near Genoa City, secured 14 prize winning wlabons and a total of other boys to the shore of the lake and to the pier, where the tragedy happened.

When the sheriff visited the Peter home he found Mr. Peter ill and confined to his bed. He procured a physician's certificate to the effect that he was unable to answer summons of the warrant. Mr. Schneider had not been located Wednesday morning, although it was the general belief that he would be found before the day was over. No indications were found that he had fled. That Peter and Schneider are being named in connection with McHenry county's alleged graft collection ring' is the general opinion of Chicago newspapers. Federal Agent "Doc" Williams was in Woodstock Monday night in connection with the matter and he was also very prominent around the court house Tuesday morning. The warrant for Alderman Pfeter has caused considerable excitement in the county seat, as Peter is Mayor Pratt's right hand man on the city council, being chairman of both the finance and purchasing committee.
