end of the deal will have a great deal
to do with its continuation.
The route that the promoters pro-
pose takes in Crystal. Lake, % miles
south and west of this city For a
number of years the electric railroad
bee has been buzzing in Alma. The
idea has always been fostered by
Alma people and one party even went
so far as to bring interested Chicago
capitalists to look over the lay of the
land. The proposition fell through
then, but we are safe in saying that
if such railroad is to be built Alma
citizens will heartily endorse any
plans that may be furthered for it's
completion. There has been some
discussion since the matter took on
some degree of certainty whether the
project would not receive some oppo-
sition because of the wild methods
that have been employed in previous
attempts. Such criticism has little
weight here.
The route that the promoters have
decided upon, while not touching our
city is considered the most advan-
tageous. Ithaca will be the nearest
point for Alma people and with the
excellent steam train connections
there will be very little inconvenience
connected with the arrangement Of
the promoters.
AS far as Crystal Lake is concerned
there is no use exploiting its qualities.
The lake itself is about four miles
wide with a shore line of ten miles,
having a beautiful drive completely
circumventing it. The town proper
is a considerable distance from the
resort which is an advantage Of
which few watering places can boast.
There are two excellent hotels open
the year round and with many pri-
vate boarding and rooming places the
spot is ideal. The bathing is fine and
