The Secretary of the association
was instructed to communicate with
parties owning lands in the vicinity
of Buddo's creek, on the west
branch of Fall river, with view of
leasing the same, as it is the in
tention of the association to erect a
club house at an early day. The
plans are now being drawn by
Architect Gray, of Baraga. The
intended building will be fashioned
after the modern club house, and |
will probably cost several hundred
dollars.
The fishing grounds of Baraga
county are the best in the state of
Michigan, and the locality where
the club house will be located is
adjacent to well supplied streams,
among others, are the Sturgeon,
Plumbago, and the main and many
branches of Fall river. 1t will also
be but a short distance from the
large and beautiful lake on the plains
that is the attractive camping
grounds of hunters during the duck,
deer aud partridge seasons. The
benefits derived by the business
men of both L'Anse and Baraga in
the maintenance of a well kept club |
house in the vicinity described
would almost equal the result of a
large commolious hotel. The prin-
cipal drawback in advertising .our
well stocked streams lies in the fact
that there is no accomodations-
neither roof to shelter, or roads to
reach the points sought by the
tourists and sportsmen coming
from distant places. The contem-
plated club house and the com
pleted highway to the Covington
district will remove these obstacles
and doubtless the coming summer
will see the inny tribe well fed by
the numerous sportsmen in the
Sturgeon district.
1t was moved that committee of
three members from Baraga and
three from L'Anse be appointed to
solicit funds to aid in the erection
of the club house The following
gentlemen compose the committee:
Herman Steinbach, Charles Auge
and N. S. Pennock, of Baraga, and
Thomas Brady, p. r.. McKernan
and p. Voetsch, Of L'Anse.
The secretary was instructed to
have 100 membership certificates
printed.
The next meeting of the associa
tion will be held at Baraga Tuesday |
evening, January 10, at 8 So'clock.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned.
