SPIRIT LAKE.
One OF the finest Summer Resorts in the
United States,

United States,
A week ago last Saturday, while
visiting friends in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, an opportunity was offered is
to visit the celebrated summer re-
sort of the west, Spirit Lake, Iowa,
which we at once accepted, and in a
short space of time was whirling
along over the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern Railway, to
that delightful spot. We desire to
say right here that the B. G. & N.
is one of the finest equipped and
most successfully managed railroads
in the United States, and to travel
over it is a pleasure. The road has
been for some time under the imme-
diate control and management of
MI. G. j. Ivcs, who has recently
been elected president Of the road,
and who is one Of the most pleasant
and courteous gentlemen we ever
met. MI Ives informed us that
his road would enter Dakota this
summer, Us work now is progressing
on the extension of the road from
Lake Park, Mimi, across the terri
tory Ia. Bismarck. The road will be
completed to Watertown, Dakota,
this season.
Our party consisted Of Mr.. J. l..
Hardwick, the Master builder of the
road, James Tyndall an engineer,
Wm. o. Mallahan, foreman of the
Round House at Cedar Rapids, and
ourself. In due time we arrived at
the magnificent palace hotel Orleans,
which is located in q picturesque
spot On the banks Of the lake, about
a mile and a half from the town Of
Spirit Lake. This hotel was built
by the Burlington road at a cost Of
S250,0W and is one Of the most
pleasantly situated and handsomest
structures we have ever seen. Ii
has the capacity Of accommodating
nearly 500 guests and every room
is handsomely and elegantly fur
nished. Mr.. J. w. Hutchinson, q
well known and most popular land
lord and caterer, has charge Of the
hotel Orleans, this season and is
now ready to receive and entertain
guests. Spirit Lake is one Of the
most beautiful lakes We ever saw
and aside from the pleasant quarters
at the hotel, guests will find scores
Of pleasure. boats, fishing Quilts,
and everything that viii add to the
enjoyment and pleasure of those
seeking recreation Speaking ID
