Made a Trip to North End; Found It Looking Fine.

The writer took advantage of an . opwtunl tjf to visit Kniman, Wheatfield, Tefft and Dunn’s' Pleasure Park on the Kankakee river last Friday. The trip was made with Senator A. Hal leek, Who had legal business relating to ditch and road matters, and for company took with him M. B. Price, E- A. Kirk and The Republican editor. It soon developed that Hr. Price was the only one of the party who was out strictly for pleasure, for Ed Kirk began the sale of his famous roofing paper as soon as the auto stopped at Kniman and the editor distributed sample copies of The Republican and took subscriptions at each stopping noint The north end is certainly developing rapidly and it may [be surprising to some to know that it was drier in many places in Walker, Wheatfleld and Kankakee townships I than it i m ** central and southern I parts of, this county. There seemed to be more plowing completed and more cornptantera at work than there was down .thisv Way tor quite a little. At Wheatfleld we spent but a short time, goifig and coming. The town looks prosperous and the businessmen there say s it is prosperous. Tommy Jensen has a nice looking store and states that be is enjoying a good •trade and is glad he engaged in busirisr for himself. Simon- Fendig, a former Rensselaer boy, is now enjoying very good health and has a splendid trade at his drugstore. Wheatfleld will have ; a baseball team again this year, Tommy Jensen and another brother all playing on the team. They expect to have a winning team. M»e*e is a fine stone road from I Wheatfleld to Tefft and on to the river and a-mightr fine looking country along the route. The road, we believe, is the beri strip of road in Jasper county. At Tefft we called on C. R. Peregrine, Will DeArmond, Otto G. Schrader, postmaster Hilliard and the station agent, M. A Jones. A good business reported in the town and Mr. DeArmond says be has about complto* «■«> le of a two-car shipment I of farming machinery, besides a num- ' riv“rwas very high, almost up to the south river bank at- 1 Dunn’s Pleasure Park and overflowing a-comiderable portion of the north side around Burrows’ Camp. ■We were pleased to run across Hon. I. D. Dunn at the park and to‘Spend considerable time with him. He is still quite active except for his failing ’eyesight and hearing, but he takes a great delight in that very beautiful spot that be platted and named three years ago. It Jtaa been developed a great deal since he started the park plan and to warn a quite busy place duringe ihe.rcampiog Reason. On thesouth -side ofthe rivpiSnßid-«he east side of the stone koad there are five cottages built on hwdjsMtf by- William Fitzgerald. Theyj are owned °T>y parties named: Lawton, Haas, Miller, Gill and Cfildagb, * Crawfordsvilie and Hammond and are occupied a considerable part of the summer. Qn-Mie Dunn pint a store was built and is being conducted by Mrs. Mary F. Coffin. So splendid a trade did'she enjoy last year that she is now having a large addition built for an icecream parlor. Her store is well stocked and tidy in arrangement. Just west of the store is a modern garage, built of cement blocks and with an all cementfloor. It belongs to Frank Slight sgte is well equipped with auto repairs -The next bulldios so - the west is C| cottage built two years ago by Pan Jay, the bead of the Kokomo phone Co. A short distance further west is Slight's cottage and next comes the Kokomo ciuli house, owned by 25 Kokomo parties. It is a good sized building with porches the full length front and rear. On the river bank-is a large boat bouse' and underneath the cinb house is space tor storing the boats during the winter. The cottage is arranged with a view to space eodn : - omy and the beds hinge at the upper end and fold up against the wall, leaving the floor space entire during tile day time. By means of wires and curtains the sleeping apartment may be divided into three parts or left all in one. Upright lockers are along the end of the living room and the dinings room. In the rear is an ice house and' (garage. Ice is put up to last during the «»«■««' va accommodates three large machines. West of the club house is a cottage owned businessmen, at Kwxorao, among mem ■—■■an —r!*«* r Til fiil ini* r — J — emo°D b j»c'k'iul*tin, Fred Byers, Fred Haas, fi. R. Thompson «ni othefs. Messrs.

rison and Thompson, both grain deal-' era, were enjoying the fimt spring "camp and spending it largely fishing. Mr. Morrison cast his hook into the river and M a second the cork was pulled under and a little jerk with the pole landed a fine goggleye, weighing 1% pounds. The two men had a live fcox of channel cats and goggleyes, fine ones, too. 1* S. Burrows, who runs the saloon across the river in Porter county, has several cottages on that side of the river and has just built one on the south side, oh a lot purchased from Mr. Dunn, in his first addition to the original pleasure plat. It is a ready-to-erect sectional cottage of four rooms and has been completed ready for occupancy. The cottages all find ready renters at good prices. Mr. Dunn was pleased to receive an order a few days ago frotg Hon. J. R. Guild, of Medaryville, for tw*o lots in the first addition, directly In the rear of the large picnic ground, which he has decided to reserve for public gatherings. 'JWi tjuira wirr'pPODßpiy erect a coii tage there tills year. The lots in the new addition sell for $75 each. A 60foot street wepteates them from the front lots. which sell for $l5O to S2OO. It is quite that a number more cottages-will be erected this year. It js certainly one of the mast beautiful spots in Indiana and no better summer outing spot could be imagined. Rensselaer people could build a club" house there at a small cost and thus provide for a splendid The Kokomo club has spent SBS forj ieaektmembengSEbich tyclud§s the. dues sfopTlhree TfSars and this hksniit up all the buUdlnff*. purchased the large during the entire'-sutomer, which is one ot the campingid^lightpOn tbfe return trip to Rensselaer we gathered up T.

The trip proved a most enjoyable one and we can reebinniend Dunn’s Pleasure Park as a fine spot for auto parties to go to during the summer, ’
