NOTES.
o. w. Sayner, owner of the Plum
Lake House, has made several notable
imprOvem entS on his resort. A tennis
court has been completed in front of
the main building, which was erected
two years ago. In place OF the old
kerosene lamps, more modern lights
are being used. These lights illumin-
ate the resort at night from way up
the lake. Silas Sayner now conducts
an auto livery, thereby making it
easy to reach all lakes in the vicinity
of Sayner.
Rev. W. II. Gould is to be compli-
mented on his excellence as a fisher
man. Last Thursday, the day after
arriving at Plum, he hooked mag
niticent muskailonge. The fish fought
for over a half an hour and it re-
uuired hard fight before it was sue
cessfully landed. The musky tipped
the scales at II pounds. To catch
such a fish is worth ma king a trip TO
any lake in Wisconsin.
Mrs. A. L. Kreutzer entertained
the eighteen people who are at the
cottages in the Wausau colony, last
Friday evening at dinner at Rest
more cottage. The beautiful II ID.
musky caught by Rev. Gould, was
wonderfully baked and proved most
delicious eating. A most delightful
time was enjoyed.
The B. A. Benson cottage has been
occupied by Mrs. Benson and daugh-
ter, Margaret, Miss Eleanor Benson,
Miss Emily Chubbuck and Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Benson of Duluth. They
all returned to WauSau Friday night.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. sE. Hutchins have
also been at the Benson cottage.
Miss Ruth Alexander is an enthusi-
astic tisherwOman. While fishing
with Walter Dana of Milwaukee, on
Thursday last, three beautiful fish
were hooked and successfully landed
1t looks rather as if Miss Alexander
and Mr.. Dana were supplying the
house party with fish.
The first part of last week, Guy
Witter, w. B. Scholfeld, Rufus Man
son, Miss Marie Bird and the Misses
Dodd, enjoyed fishing trip to Starett
