I Eornist Garrett and his sister, of
Wellington. Ohio, are stopping at the
Merchants Hotel. Mr.. Garrett is an
| old acquaintance of our enterprising
lumber dealer, II. B. Hamlin. Mr..
and Miss Garrett came here for their
health, and they seem to think our
healthful climate agrees with them,
and are talking some of making Wa
dena their future home.
| F. C. Rice, of Park Rapids, and
Nelson Pierce, of Usage, Iowa. who
has been at the Rapids the past week,
were in Wadena, Tuesday forenoon.
| Mr.. Rice informs US that the town
IF Todd, Hubbard Co., voted the bonds
for the Wadena & Park Rapids r. R.,
lats Saturday. The majority was
FIVE to one. The citizens of that
town are sensible, and appreciate an
enterprise that will greatly benefit
them. We hope to see our citizens do
still better than that. No man that
has any interest in the township can
afford to vote otherwise than for the
bonds. -

Johnston, of Wrightston, Tuesday.
In talking over other topics, the mat.
ter of annexing the eastern tier of
towns of Otter Tail County to Wadena
County WAS spoken of. These gentle.
are strongly for it, and they say that
there is scarcely man in their town
that is not in favor of it. Their in
terests are here at Wadena. This is
where they do their business. and
when they have county business to
transact, they have to make q trip to
Fergus Falls, exclusively for that pur.
pose, where all of this extra expense
might be averted by annexing to Wa
dena. They claim that they have
either got to be annexed or the coun.
ty seat of Otter Tail will have to be
moved nearer the centre of the coun.
ty, but they would prefer the former.
I While at Battle Lake, Tuesday, we
had the pleasure of taking a ride over
the beautiful waters of West Battle
Lake in a nice little sail boat, for
which we are indebted to O. Wakeman,
Esq. 1t was beautiful afternoon,
and the lake was calm, there being
just wind enough to carry the boat
along at 4 nice little jog. West Battle
Lake is the incest lake in Otter Tail
county, and is destined to be = great
summer resort. The village of Bat
tie Lake is situated on 4 beautiful
little hill, and in the summer presents
\ picturesque scene. lying as it does
On tho southwest shore of this large
and beautiful lake, and in the centre
of splendid farming country. There
is good fishing in the lake, and good
hunting in the forests surrounding
it. The village now has a newspaper,
