CASS GOUMTY IS HOT LAGGING li BETTER ROADS

Dov;agiac Is Now Connected With Wiles by An AllPaved Highway. DOWAGIAC. Mich-. Nov. 25 Dowagiac and Cass county citizens are watchin?: with eager eyes the opening of the celebrated South Rend-NTles-Dowapiac concrete road which means much to this community. Not to be found lagging In respect to good roads. Cass county will be found by tourists next summer in far better shape than In previous years. South Benders and people who pass through the gateway to Michigan will have an all-paved road to this city when 9C0 feet of concrete road Is paved next spring. The work would have been completed this fall had It not been for the state highwaj' commission ruling that all concrete road work should be halted until next spring. Welcome Crowds to Iake. Cass county, with its 112 lakes, some of which are the most prominent in Michigan, stands ready to welcome the flow of people that are expected to Invade this vicinity next summer. The road to Indian lake from this city is being put into excellent condition by graveling the surface. It will present a smooth surface and will be good enough to compare with any of the graveled roads in this section. The Dixie highway between Dowagiac and Pokapon was opened for traffic Saturday mornin?. This road has been closed all summer while paving was in progress, with the construction of a fine new concrete bridge over Pokagon creek. As soon as spring opens work will be started on the road from this city to Decatur, which will mark another episode In the pavement of the Dixie highway. Resorts Boinjr Improved. All pleasure resort keepers at the' lakes are beginning to realize what the opening of the South läSend-Niles-Dowagiac road means to them, and consequently are making preparations to care for the summer travelers and pleasure seekers. New amusements are being installed ?.l many places, while new boat landings and additional equipment is arriving for the expected demands. Besides the interests circled around the lakes, the visitors will find Dowagiac a beatitiful growing little city. The name "Round Oak" stands out foremost In business circles, as a manufacturing concern of more than ordinary prominence. The factory now employes hundreds of men, with not enough help to fill the demands- The plants art running full force and making every effort to cope with the demands for their make and grade of stoves, ranges and furnacesWeekly Concerts IVature. With the name "Round Oak" comes the greatest musical organization of non-professional players In the state. Each Thursday night of every week people flock to Dowagiac from the surrounding lakes to hear the concerts of popular and classical numbers played by the Round Oak band. Within the next few years Dowagiac will have one of the finest High school buildings to be found In any city of this size in the middle west. Visits are being made to nearby schools by school officials daily, getting ideas how to construct a modern building to copewith the needs of a fast growing city. The Reckwith theater, one of the finest playhouses in southern Michigan, offers diversion for those who desire the latest in the "movie" world. A new federal building has recently been erected here which is the finest in Michigan west of Kalamazoo. A mail service unequalled makes the stay of the summer visitors here a most pleasant one, with hourly service either east or west. The Michigan Central railroad makes Dowagiac one of its principal stopping points. Hourly service can almost be had either east or west, with fine interurban connections at Niles for South Bend.
