(Qjptinaed «m» last pagfe) , AN IMPORTANT QUESTION WILL. THE M'HENRY PEOPLE HELP BUILD DAM? That l« (he Qnnllon That la Mow Oeu- frontlnjf Our Cltlcena-- Mail Save More Water in Rlyer. Is McHenry going to do her share in building the dam? Can we afford to see our summer resorters leave it for good t Can we afford to let one of our most promising enterprises leave our village? These questions are now con­ fronting our citizens and from whom an answer is expected without delay. We last week stated that nearly enough money had been subscribed to warrant the building of a dam, but are very sorry to say that this is not the case, but just to the contrary. The committee in charge of soliciting the funds report very poor success. , When the dam question was first brought be­ fore the people the sentiment of the peo­ ple seemed to favor the project unani­ mously, and it then looked aa if the necessary funds would be readily prom­ ised. With the prospects looking especially favorable, the appointed committee to solicit the funds set to work, but after a few days' work the committee was found in a very disappointed condition. The willingness of the people seemed to have left them and instead of appro­ priating for the good cause were utter­ ly turned down. Such proceedings will never build a dam in Fox river, and un­ less the McHenry people take hold of the project by lending their assistance, both in a financial and boosting way, the dam proposition will be a sad failure. „ Very few people in McBenry are probably aware of the loss this will mean to us. First, it will be the killing of our summer resort, which means more than a little to us. Already from twenty-five to thirty-five families at Pistabee Bay and along the river have signified their intentions of leaving this district for good unless something is done, and done at once, to keep the water at normal height. Without water no summer resort can survive, and this is the state of affairs we are in at the present time. Second, it will mean the loss of a most promising manufactur­ ing concern which is now located in our midst and which will be forced to leave us unless a dam is put in. Third, it will mean the loss of hundreds of dol­ lars to the people of McHenry and vi­ cinity, who annually reap a rich harvest from the summer resorters. With these facts before us, will Mc­ Henry still turn down this most im- {iortant proposition? We believe not, we earnestly believe that the people of McHenry are an enterprising body who will set to work at once and by next fall see a dam located in Fox river. The committee has, dnring the past week, sent out hundreds of circulars asking t|ie support of the public. Read the circular carefully, then send your donation (no matter bow small it may be, as every dollar counts) to the people specified in the circular. Submits to Operation. Thos. Powers submitted to a very painful operation performed by Dr. D. G. Wells Tuesday morning, whereby a piece of metal one and one-half inches long and one-half inch wide was re­ moved from his neck. Mr. Powers, it will be remembered by our readers, was one of the victims of the dynamite explosion. It was supposed by him, as well as, the physician in attendan.ee, that all metal had been removed, but a few days ago the vi'ctim began to com. plain of a pain the neck, and as a re­ sult the opeiation was performed and the cause above mentioned removed. f 75.00 to the Pacific Coast and return from Chicago.
