Boarding House season 1920
At Yulan there has been no let up in the season since it began in earnest, about the middle of July. Although many guests went back the end of July, August vacationists are more than filling the places vacated. At Highland Lake, the fish are biting better than they did in previous years and many anglers are summering at the resorts to partake of their favorite sport.
