One of Lake Genevas Old Pioneers At Rest. 1 Probable Projects Predicted by Prophet of Possibilities. A Whitewater citizen according to the Register has been making some observations upon the probable future developments of the Badger Railway and with the development of the electric road business the extensions suggested are very likely to be made.

Going to the map in the Register office this individual showed how Lake Geneva, the terminus of the Badger line is but nine miles from Genoa Junction and how Wauconda, the terminus of the Illinois fine is but twelve from the same village which happens to be on the state line. Do you see the point? Nine miles by one road and twelve by another would give Whitewater a direct line to Chicago about eighty-eight miles away.

Q. Q. REEVE PASSES AWAY. In Business at Lyons for Thirty-Six Years. (From Lyons Correspondent.) After being unconscious since early Friday morning, G.

G. Reeve, aged 80 years, passed away at his home in this village at ten oclock on Sunday morning. Mr. Reeve had been suffering severely the past week with an acute attack of kidney trouble, but the cause that hastened his death was asphyxiation from coal gas. The neighbors at eight oclock, on Friday morning, noticing that nobody was up at the Reeve resi- dence and receiving no response to rapping at the door, forced an entrance and at once detected escaping gas from the coal stove.

Box 62. The Lake Geneva News Pub Co Enclosed find M. O. for $1.50 for one years subscription to the News to be sent to the above address. We have bought a farm of twelve acres and so far are delighted with it and surrounding country.

It is in a lovely valley with foothills and peaks all around us, twenty one miles east of San Diego, and we are part owners of the most glorous climate in the United States; have abundance of water, river bed being about a quarter of a mile distant. At present, we walk over the river bed when we go to town, the water being from one and a half, to two feet under sand, but the spring, water will be several feet above the sand. I wish we could exhibit some of ou White Orpingtons at your next poultry show. We surely would take a prize. We had twenty-one and a half dozen eggs from our hens in eight days and eggs are fifty-five cents a dozen now and will go higher.

If you have read about the boom now on in San Diego you may believe it all, it is almost impossible to over estimate present conditions there. I enclose some clippings which may interest you. Everyone is working here towards making the Panama Exposition a success and the site chosen. for it is grand, overlooking the City, San Diego Bay, and the Pacific Ocean whilst to the south and east lies Mexico with her mountains and the range that runs through Southern California. They are now planting trees and shrubs and have millions of them, with ferns, palms, roses, and other plants growing in boxes to go on planting out.

I hear you are frozen up whilst I am picking ripe tomatoes, lima beans, string beans and melons from our garden. Oh it is grand to be living here. If you care to print any of this you can do sm. Very sincerely, Katherine Gill. The clipping' referred to follows: With people pouring into San Diego at an estimated rate of 800 every day, with a probable average of 700 for the I past six months, the city is passing through a marvelous stage of substantial growth, as is shown by the value of building permits which have now passed the $8,000,000 mark.

Figures will show that San Diego is building up faster than any other city in the country in proportion to the population. On Thanksgiving Day. Invitations are out for the Thanksgiving dinner and dance to be given at the Lake Geneya Hotel on Thursday next. A choice turkey dinner will be served from noon until eight oclock P. with dancing after eight.

figure any move by the Milwaukee electric railroad company that would mean more to them as their lines are now built, than two extensions, one ten miles from Wateitown to Jefferson and the other twelve miles from Burlington to Lake Geneva. The Badger road will be built early next year and then President Kams-chulte may be ready to talk about an Illinois connection for it is a safe guess that he is not unfamiliar with the net of electric lines being pushed out farther and farther from Chicago every year.
