History of Lake Region

Surprising we take a trip by
means of facts cleaned here and
yon, into the wilds of eastern Vi
las county. Few who are hale
and hearty today could take this
trip by means of their memories,
but with the facts these few sup
ply, data obtained from records
and clippings from early newspa-
pers, we may, with the help of
our imaginations tread the same
grounds where the Indians, French
and early pioneers made their
home. How we would have loved
to see the same glorious sights
they saw! No axe laid to the for
ests; on y the music and rythm of
nature everywhere.

man interest which gives life to

building, which is now used by
Mr.. Everett as his diningroom. A
view is given showing the bui d.
ing after a porch and wing had
been added. Fred Morey, who
came here with Arthur Mckenzie
about thirty years ago and estab-
lished the State Bank, was a de-
voted fisherman. With Ed Lacau
as his guide he rambled the lakes
in the chain and lays to himself
credit of landing his allotment of
muskies during his years of out
ing. He conceived the idea of a
resort for fishermen, and built the
log building shown elsewhere. At
ter a years operation he sold to
E. A. Everett, then a business
man of Chicago, and a tourist
to the lake region. 1t has been
under the control of Mr.. Everett
ever since, and has control of al
most the entire point of land on
Catfish and Cranberry lakes.
Several views throughout this
edition will be found showing the

uIar resort in the Northwest. He
built several cabins and in 1898
added lodge, the largest log
building that had ever been built.
1t measured 40 by so feet and was,
undoubtedly, a grand structure.
This was finished in August 1898,
and in September of the same year
it was wiped out by fire, together
with about a dozen smaller cabins.
Mr.. Goodall never rebuilt. In 1895
he sold his holdings to Dan Sar-
gent of Madison, Wisconsin, who
rebuilt and then sold to William
Adams of Milwaukee, in 1907. Mr..
Adams has operated the resort
ever since. C. E. Hazen, owner
of Long Lake Lodge, was house
manager Of the club while Mr..
Goodall owned it.

years of service to the summer
guest. He builded his resort in
the early COS and has been at it's
head ever since, today having an
absolutely modern summer resort.
To hear Mr.. Sayner tell Of how
he brought in his first guests, and
how he managed to pack in his
supplies, both on his back and by
primitive dog team, clear from
Eagle River, is well worth listen
ing to. Nothing but an old tote
road was in use at that time be-
tween Plum lake and Eagle River.
A view Of his first building is
shown in this issue, together with
one of his present modern build
ings. Quite a contrast.
Charles A Bent next comes to
the front as an "old-timer" in the
resort business. Thirty-one years
ago he and his wife and children
dug themselves into the dense
woods twelve miles west Of State
Line, then a rendezvous for lum-
berjacks and logging men. (See

ago. He with his fathers help

You have visited the elongated
and racy Catfish lake with it's
winding bays and hat-like islands;
where now stand many modern re-
sorts and camps and dozens of
cottages. Look at it when only one
family lived there. All about is
virgin timber, the maple and hem
lock predominating.
Just sixty-seven years ago, Josh
ia Fox located on the east shore
of Catfish and opened a trading
post. His wife was the first white
woman known to have set foot in
these parts. Another settler had
located on Yellow Birch lake and
he being a carpenter was engaged
by Fox to erect suitable buildings.

and 1912 that road building was

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
ARE LYING IDLE
MONEY CREDITED BY BANKS
TO LOST DEPOSITORS."
CONGRESS rs BLAMED.

Nearly $35,0OO.OOO in dormant or
unclaimed balances are now piled up
in national banks throughout the coun-
try and are lying idle for lack Of CON
gressiona1 action on recommendations
of treasury officials, estimates by gov
eminent experts declare.
Members of congressional commit
tees to whose attention the subject
has been called say that the original
suggestion of former Comptroller of
the Currency John Shelton Williams
that these millions should come to the
government have been lost in the
shuttle for committee routine.
War Added to "Lost Depositors"
Not since 1917, when former Comp
troller Williams canvassed the situa-
ton in a periodic call for reports on
conditions of banks, has an accurate
statement of the, size of the dormant
funds been made. However, percent
age. comparisons indicate that the
present total is between $33,000000
and $35,000,000, and possibly larger,
because the war probably added great
ly to the list of "lost depositors."
In formal recommendation to con-
gress in 1917, and each year of his
term subsequently, Comptroller Will
liams urged Legislation to require "long
dormant balances to be deposited in
the United States treasury"
