PISTAKEE BAY The recent rains have been respon­ sible for green lawns "ill around the bay. Stilling's summer resort property here is beginning to show decided im­ provements. It surely looks as if the proprietors are going to be suc­ cessful. Rumors have been afloat about the Bay to the effect that Geo. J. Sayei one of our resorters, is confined to his Chicago home by illness. We have been unable to learn whether or not his condition is serious. Robert Boettcher, tenant on the Rohema stock farm here, will again supply 'the resorters with milk and cream the coming season. Last sea­ son he supplied thirty customers, while he looks forward to accommo­ dating as many if not more patrons this summer. Jos. F. Haas has made extensive improvements in his summer home on the east shore of the bay. Carpenters have been at work for some time and when all the contemplated improve ments are finished Mr. Haas will have one of the prettiest places on that shore of the lake. That Pistakee Bay will have new golf grounds this year is now an as­ sured fact. A large strip of land has been rented from Jacob R. Justen and same is already being placed into con­ dition for golf purposes. The grounds will be located north of the Justen house and when finished will be the finest to be found anywhere in this locality. Owners of summer homes at Pistakee are very enthusiastic over the golf prospects for the coming season and we are told that the de­ cision to have a club at the Bay has already been responsible for a new family at this resort. ̂ SHOES! We have just put in an ex­ cellent stock of Men's Dress and Work Shoes and we will be pleased to have the men of McHenry and vi­ cinity call and inspect them.
