The trite quotation, "Night brings out the
stars" can be paraphrased, ''The hot
weather brings out the country seekers
While there is plenty of country lying about
loose, it requires some discrimination to Sc
lect the portion which affords the greatest
amount of pleasure, health and comfort.
It requires this discrimination when one is
stranger, but after visiting Lake Elmo the
question becomes settled at once. The
visitor no sooner sees this lovely spot and
the accommodations which enterprise
has supplied, than he becomes satisfied
that he need look no farther. All that can
reasonably be desired for comfort and pleas
ureis here to be found. Lake Elmo has the
rare attraction of combining pleasant society
with absolute rural life. There is no town
with its idlers, or perhaps roughs, to mar the
pleasures of those who seek this charming
resort. hundred acres belonging to the
railroad company are at the service of the
visitors, and no fear of trespass need be in
dulged in by those who roam about these
spacious premises.
Mr.. A. B. Stickney, representing the st.
Paul, Saltwater & Taylor's Falls railroad
company, has exhibited rare Judgment as
we'll as enterprise in fitting up these grounds.
The additions and improvements the pres
ent year have marvellously added to the at
fractions of the resort. The new dining
ball is the most spacious in the State. The
building is unique and the upper rooms de-
ightful for guests. The spacious hall par
lors in the "lodge," the Office, SO con-
venient for ladies and children to make
known their wishes, the enlarged and
improved bath houses, the refreshment
stands, the boat house and telegraph Office,
the trim and safe steamer Lulu with her
covered barge, the swings, the ball alley, the
billiard room, the electric light, all combine
to make Lake Elmo the charming resort
which captivate every one who visits it.
Messrs. Flower q Guthurz, who conduct
the hotel and premises, thoroughly under
stand their business, and the visitor feels at
home from the start. They fully appreciate
the importance of neat and we'll furnished
rooms, fine beds and appetizing food. They
have called to their aid an able corps of ae-
sistants, have supplied their kitchen with all
modern appliances for rapid and excellent
work ana can feed more persons well in
given length of time than any other sum-
mer resort in the northwest.
Mr.. G. w. Babcock, formerly of the Ire
mont house, Chicago, is the steward, and he
Leon Caster as head cook, and w. E. Dupey
as assistant, Jas. n. Kelly as pastry cook,
with Jacob Raymond assistant, with Chas.
Morgan as head waiter, Mr.. Babcock is sup
piled with force which can crafty any
palate in America.
Capt. Henry Parmalee is in charge of the
Lulu and in fact of all the boats on the lake.
Chas. Parmalee, regularly licensed en-
gineer, runs the steamer and has charge of
the electric light. Mr.. Patrick manages the
bath house in excellent style, and G. E.
White is at his post as telegraph operator and
ticket agent. In the Office Mr.. Guthurz pre-
sides, with James Negley as assistant, while
Gen. Flower, with Mr.. Guthurz, gives gen
eral supervision.
