near Powers Lake, are to be opened
for public use on May 18th, but the
formal opening of the Lodge dining
hall, cottages and the new dormitory,
Oakhaven, will not take place until
Decoration Day, May 3Oth.
The owners, E. G. Simmer & Co.,
of Chicago, with the new Vice Presi-
dent of the company, c. E. Curtis,
haywood, H., as manager, have been
working hard in the interests of their
patrons and many improvements have
been added for the new season. The
building of Oakhaven, the commodious
new dormitory, with its large airy
rooms, single or ensuite, tub and show
err baths will enable the management
to house many more guests than the
past year.
Oakhaven was designed by Chas D.
Faulkner, Chicago, architect Of all the
other buildings and is along the same
lines of English architecture as the
Lodge, dining hall and cottage
The one, two, three and four room
cottages pleasingly furnished and each
with running water, lavatory and
screened porches will be as desirable
and comfortable as last year for the
tired vacationist.
Several New Cottages.
Several new cottages have been
built and the little cottage colony on
the banks of Lake Benedict and Tom
beau is being rapidly developed. Two
interesting new homes are those of
Chas d. Faulkner, the architect of all
buildings at Nippersink, and that of
Vice President C. E. Curtis Of the Nip
persink Association.
During the winter months much
time and money was spent on develop
ing the bathing beach. Hundreds of
loads of sand and gravel were put in
the lake so that now one can go to the
end of the piers without getting in
water deeper than six feet. Additional
diving apparatus has been added and
the shore of the bathing beach was
covered with white sand and chill
dren's playground laid out. The play
ground is provided with open air ap-
paratus and other devices to amuse
the little folks.
The mile and half of lagoons con-
Meeting the two lakes will make boat
ing and canoeing especially attractive
this summer. A great many rustic
bridges have been built over the la
goons and with the new shrubbery that
has been put around the lodge build
ings will add much to the general pic
of NiyporsinIy
All Sports Provided.
The fishing in Lakes Benedict and
Tombeau has always been exceptional
ly good Black bass, blue gills and
speckled bass are very plentiful.
A clay pigeon shoot has been pro-
vided and traps installed. The man
agement will supply guns and ammuni-
ton.
The tennis courts will be ready for
use on May 8Oth. They are of clay
and they will be kept in good condi-
ton for fast play.
The golf course has been newly seed
ed and is one of the finest courses in
the middle west covering 14O acres,
The course takes in portions Of wood,
land and meadow, carefully utilizing
ravines, water courses and hill sides
and provides a series of plays which

Chicago, and he supervised its con-
struction, too.
