THE WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

July 01,  1904

 

                                         Ready for Summer Guests and Many arriving.  The Opening

 

 

     To those who love to see things slicked up in fine shape we advise them to take a ride out to the end of the electric line and look around the grounds at Grand View Hotel., Chain o’ Lakes.  The improvements are too numerous to mention entire but are all for the good of the place.  The hotel has been supplied with many things needed in every department; among the noticeable things is a modern large range for the kitchen. They have electric lights everywhere and having leased special long time privileges they take current from the Veterans’ Home to light the rooms in both hotels and all the cottages.  The grass has a fine growth this spring and the sloping hillside toward Rainbow lake looks as pretty as an emerald.  They pump water for drinking and culinary purpose from a very deep and inexhaustible driven well in the sold sand and gravel.  No better water can be found anywhere, in fact, there is an abundance and all are pleased.  They use electric power for pumping which does away with wind mill power entirely.

 

                                                            The Opening

 

   Was fine and although ye editor was unable to be present on account of the convention at Fremont, all who were there report a most elegant dinner and a grand social at the Grand View auditorium.

    On Sunday there were many from the city present to partake of the dinner from 6:30 to 7:30.  being present we can vouch for its excellence.

     John Caughell makes an ideal manager.  The improved condition of things under the new ownership and direction of Messrs. Caughell, Lord and others of the W.E.L. & Ry. Co. certainly should ensure abundance of patronage.  Every person interested in our city should be pleased to see it and feel that it is really part of Waupaca.
