The excursion given by the condnctors of the E. J. & E. arrived in Zurich on time Sunday. There were seventeen couches filled with jolly excursionists and Lake Zurich was the destination of three-fourths of them, as there was a good program provided for them by the management of the park. The people of the village made preparations to give them all the accommodations possible and treat them in royal style, but the weather seemed against carrying out the program, for when the train arrived the rain was the hardest and there was nothing to do but stay in the cars. They spent the day at Waukegan and Fort Sheridan.
Most every day brings some railroad promoters here, either looking up the right-of-way or trying to get property owners to sign frontage. The latest one is a trolley line running direct from Chicago to Fox Lake. They claim they will come out of Chicago over the Lake street elevated to the terminal at Oak Park and then come across the country to Des Plaines, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Lake Zurich and Wauconda. Now, if all the railroads come out way that has been promised, Zurich will be quite a railroad center, at any rate, let us hope that something in the shape of railroad comes so that we can reach Chicago without driving five miles to catch a train, even if it is only an auto-bus line.
