is out trying to get the big ones.
Muskies, pike, bass and pickerel
abound in plenty in the fresh water
lakes of this vicinity. The bass and
muskies have not started to bite at
their best but we expect they will
be cagsht soon. Trout streams are
near and this sport, which is CON
ceded TO be the best in fishing, is
pursued by a good many of the cutters
Among the lakes within easy reach
of Plum are the following good fish
ing lakes: Big St. Germaine, Lost,
Found, Stella Pickerel, Star, Razor
Back, MuScallonge and Trout. Big
catches have been reported at all of
these.
Resorts are at hand at several of
the lakes named above. Plum has
two resorts which can compare With
any near here. Warmers resort, near
Plum station, has been improved the
past winter by the installation of
electric lights. A new launch has
been purchased also by Mr.. Warner.
@. w. Sayner has improved his resort
greatly by the addition of a three
story house built last year and which
has the elegant dining room and par

vidual guests. Mr.. Sayner is at work
now on a splendid tennis court to
be completed soon Croquet grounds
will also be added soon. The rates
at both of these resorts are very
reasonable.
Besides the great number OF cot
tages and the two resorts there is a
splendid boys camp owned by II. o..
Gillett of Chicago, III. Every year
Mr.. Gillett brings many boys up to
this lake who stay here all summer,
iourneying to other lakes and lifting
themselves for proper work at school
during the winter months. The boys
have beautiful tennis and baseball
grounds, several launches and every
convenience to make their visit north
pleasant one. Nj ost of the boys
who attend this camp are from Chi
cago. Over 120 boys are in attend
ance this year.
In the little village of Sayner, only
about one-half mile from the lake, we
see many changes. Among them is
the building of new Catholic church.
Some time ago the residents OF say
ner began to feel the need of church
and everyone began to work for 1t.
Money was raised ard only little
more is needed to finish the structure.
Adding the people at the resorts
now. the boys camp and the cottages
there must be nearly 300 people at
Plum lake spending their vacation.
We do not mean to say that Plum is
the only place Wausau people go for
Hazelhurst, Minocqua, Star and many
other lakes are visited by our people.
