| balance of his fleet as soon as business de
| mands it. Capt P. S. Davidson will COM
mence his improvements on the popular
Belle of Minnetonka" this week. He will
put her in thorough condition, repaint and
finish her up in splendid style and make
such changes in her machinery that she
will be the fastest boat afoat. He says
that if necessary he will within sixty days
build a mate to her so as to make connec-
ton with every railroad train that touches
the lake. Gen. w. D. Washburn, who owns
the "City of st. Louis" is expected
