July 20~ 1928 WILMETTE . LIFE 13 .DEFIANT MOSQUITOES STAGE LAST .STAND Hordes of Little Pests Swarm as Rumbling Dynamite Blows Open Skokie Channels ' The defiant hordes of mosquitoes which have been pestering residents of the north shore for several days and the frequent rumbling blasts from the dynamite explosions over in the Skokie area, are all forceful reminders of the relentless warfare which is being waged throughout this area !n the determination to exterminate the little pest. The latter ap·p ears to be stag:ng his last stand wit'h renewed vengeance. He apparently realizes he is doomed to go, but is fighting eve ry inch of the ground. The Chicago Sa,!litary district is planning to go right ahead wit~ its operations, blasting out the remaining laterals, main ditches and final openings necessary to insure a quick and complete drainage of the Skokie area, without which Superintendent William ·Ed·wards, of the North Shore :Mosquito Abatement district, says it will be impossible to rid the section of mosquitoes. Area Is Large King Ia One of Directors For Improvement Project Work on clearing the large site for the first unit of the Naniboujou club, $250,000 summer development project along Lake Superior 125 miles north of Duluth, was started last week. Among tht.:· governors recently elected to represent their localities are : Ring Lardner, writer, Great Neck, N. Y.; Hon. Geo. E. Leach, mayor ·of Minneapolis; Hoyt King, lawyer, Wilmette, Ill. ; Charles M. Thompson, dean of the college of Commerce at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill.; Thomas Owens, vice president of D. & I. railway company, Two Harbors, Minn. About 600 members are in the club including leading business and professional men from all sections of the country, according to Mr. Charles J. Kelly, president. The Naniboujou's reserve includes 3,300 acres for about a mile along Lake Superior and five miles on both sides of the Arrowhead river, formerly known as the Brule. Holstad & Sullivan drew the plans, which provide for 150 rooms, a golf course, tennis courts, bathing houses, roads and an electric plant. About 10,000 undeveloped horsepower in the falls upstream will be harnessed and power and light developed for the' club. Members will be permitted to select sites anywhere in the reserve for the erection of summer homes each being allowed a tract of 7,500 ;quare feet. The entire area is · covered with ~im~er and is untouched. by fire, ma~ ~ng It one of the most attractive spots m the Arrowhead country. There is drainage for considerable distance and the spring-fed lakes maintain a uniform flow the year round. . Naniboujou is a Cree Indian word used by members of that tribe in the Arrmvhead region to designate their "god of outdoors," who, they said, ruled over the Lake Superior area. . r .=============:::::::======:::::::;l Harmony of House and Garden NOTHING has more appeal than the "old-fashioned garden" around a home which time has mellowed-softening the · lines of fine oid architecture. But there are many homes built in the early years of this century when styles were in a period of transition and now susceptible of improvement by modernizing. The progress of re-building work of this kind suggests that modern landscape gardening go hand-inhand with it. The result will demonstrate the value of appropriate landscaping in effecting a pleasing harmony of house and grounds. OUR CATALOG GLADLY SENT ON REQUEST Telephone Highland Park 521 This requires time. The area is large, the work could not be started until late this spring, owing to the flooded Skokie area which prevented the men getting into the field to work, but in which much has already been accomplished during the ten weeks or more they have been operating. The unusual rains of a week or so ago proved a further ·h andicap ·and enabled the mosquito tribe to stage a.nother strong comeback. A. H. Meier, entimologist from Northwestern university is now working three days a week in the district, determining the actual source or breeding places of the mosquito. Ch~rles Howe, of Kenilworth, has · also joined the Mosquito Abatement district force, as "trouble man," so to speak, and as quickly as complaints come in or requests are received he renders immediate aid without it being necessary to take one · of the regular foremen and trucks off of the scheduled routes. · The mosquito abatement project, it is pointed out, has been discussed for ten years or more on the north shore, while actual organized work along that line has been under operation for only that many weeks; therefore, the men who are engaged in the fight feel that a little patience will be as essential upon the part of the people, as the continued and determined effort, which the Mosquito Abatement <listrict is rendering, to bring about the final elimination of the foe. ~IN Landscape Gardenin8 Prairie Avenue · HIGHWOOD, ILLINOIS .You ·Can Yet Buy THE GENUINE Little Symphony Ensemble On Art Institute Program An outline of the lectures which are to be given this fall in Fullerton hall at the Art institute includes the usual program of orchestral· concerts given by the Little Symphony ensemble, with George Dasch conducting.
