.sT. CLAIR SHOWS BIG FISH.
Twenty-Four Pound Pike From Glen
wood, Mimi. Exhibited at Bank.

Anglers and summer vacationists
are throbbing with excitement today
as word goes up and down Main street
of the big fish on exhibition in the
First National Bank The commercial
club. of Glenwood, Mimi. has pre-
scented Messrs, D. w. Norris and c. c.
st, Clair with a magnificent specimen
of northern pike, weighing twenty
four pounds, and measuring three feet
six inches from nose TO tail and
twenty four inches around, which was
caught in Lake Minnewaska near the
Norris and st. Clair lots. The fish
has been beautifully mounted and
hangs over the door to the ladies
parlor. facing the bank lobby. The
lake, which abounds in wall-eyed
pike. has seldom ever given up fish
of this size. altho northern pike have
been known to grow much larger and
sometimes attain the remarkable age
of $50 years.
The club also sent a panorama
photograph of Lake Minnewaska,
taken from a very high hill, known in
that locality as Lookout Mountain, in
which the county seat town of Glen
wood is shown nestled among the trees
on the lake shore at the foot of
range of hills with the lake stretching
away in the background ten miles
long and three miles wide with its
wooded shores, points and bays clear
~ disccrnible. 1t is on this hillside
in winter time that the state ski
tournaments are held and in summer
the scene is of rare beauty in which
hills, woods and lake combine.
The Glenwood Commercial Club is
developing the advantages Of its lake
as a summer resort. having last year
sold Sunset Beach hotel property to
H. P Peters, and will this year erect
another summer hotel of fifty rooms
on the opposite side of the lake in
which the town boosters quite gen.
orally will own stock. f. c. Lainson,
formerly of Marshalituwn now man
ages the leading commercial hotel in
Glenwood. W. B. Hull has recent,
purchased a lake shore lot adjoining
the st. Clair lot and both Marshall
town men plan to erect summer cot
tages on their lots next year.
