GOLF PLAYERS ARE AFTER CEDAR LAKE

Tract For 9-Hole Course Being Negotiated For With Motion Officials Urging Scheme. Cedar Lake has seemed for a number of years to have gone almost to the bad. With frequent excursions from Chicago, dumping a class of people of doubtful- morals there for the dance halls and the saloons running wide open seven days in the week, it looked as though all chance of making the beautiful lake a respectable resort had vanished. Now, however, there is a scheme on foot to establish golf links there, which might be the starting point to reclaiming the place for better purposes. The Lake County Star says: Steps are already being taken to organize for a golf club at Cedar Lake, and It is believed it will be an easy matter with the assistance promised at Chicago, Gary, Hammond, Chicago Heights, East Chicago and other places to sell a hundred shares at SIOO per share. Many are favorable at the start. It will be a nine-hole course and be located on the Binyon land between the lake and school house. With the balance a shower bath and locker rooms will be built on the beach. It Is also expected that some cottages will be built for city people in the summer. It is the intention to make it a high class place, and it is expected to bring the lake back to a high standard. Some of the Monon officials have taken a leading part to put the scheme through.
