M. Breinig and MT Staub, it must in time make a change in the landholders about the lake. Your correspondent hopes all will be subst1tuted by as efficient pub lie spirited men as those mentioned, for the best interests and success of our lake as resort and in it's develop ment. The writer most kindly re- members MT Staub as a genial gentle man to meet, and for lover 20 years cherished him as friend, and one who never forgot friend under any and all circumstances.
