The improvements Being Made at
White Bear.
1t may be set down as fairly improbable
that there will be any more snow this sea-
son. although perhaps it would be unwise
to make any very emphatic or confident
weather predictions concerning the change
able climate of Minnesota. But really, the
present indications are of an early opening
of the summer season at st. PauPs beauti-
frl resort Of White Bear, and the really per-
spring weather of the last two or three
DAYS is calculated to make the. cottage
holder OF the dwel1er in hotels begin to
think about getting out his summer clothes.
. his fishing paraphernalia, his palm-leaf fan
and hammock, and steering in the direction
/, of the lake.
And speaking of hammocks, it might not
heiout of place to remark that those for
lake use which are fashioned on the model
of the new-fangIed tricycle., to hold double,
! are growing more and more into favor, and
will be largely in demand, although,
after all, the hammock has yet to
be discovered which is so contracted In its
dimensions that it will not hold two persons
I If the night be dark.
To return to the subject, the White Bear
I season will open to-day. The Duluth road
will put on its summer schedule of trains,
tFfhe hotels will open wide their portals, the
Fsteamboat will blow its whistle, and
keyerything will proclaim that the season is
open.
AMONG THE HOTELS
there has been the usual spring activity this
gear, and guests Will find everything in
eood,shape to receive them. Leip's hotel
land cottages at Cottage Park have been
thoroughly renovated, and will undoubtedly
be as popular in the future as they have
been in previous seasons. A band will be
in attendance through the season as usual.
The South will be well represented at this
resort this summer, several families from
New Orleans having already secured ac-
commodatiOns there. Leip's enclosed park
will be let to private parties for games,
etc., but no entrance fee at the gate will be
permitted.
The Chateaugay hotel has been enlarged
by the addition of new wing with twenty
rooms and four new cottages. A large
number of the rooms in the house have
been newly furnished and decorated, a
liberal application of paint and paper hay
ing been made.
The Williams house has also been nicely
cleaned and fixed up, and will undoubtedly
do its full quota of business.
MANIToU ISLAND.
The company which purchased Manitou
Island has made good start;
bridge to the mainland, club house and
two cottages, and stable with accommodate
tons for twenty horses having been built.
The work so well begun will be continued
this year. The club house will probably be
much improved the drive-ways around the
IL LII 0f o,,I 4bO
lawns carefully dressed. The cottages
built last year belong to E. F. Drake and
Judge Palmer. There are now in process
of construction a number more owned by
S. l.. Cary, Conrad Gotzian, G. L. Rogers,
C. P. Noyes, Senator Mcmillan and
others. Among those who have taken
lots on the island with the agreement of
building this year are ]. L. Merriam, W.
r. Merriam II. G. Thompson, +. B. Bass
and F. B. Clarke. Lots are also owned by
r. NJ. Newport, W. B. Dean. r. E. Peet
of Philadelphia, Gen. McLaren, III. NJ.
Knox, ]. Q. Adams, J. P. Gribben. and
others, some Of whom will undoubtedly
build cottages this year. All the island
cottages will be models of convenience and
elegance, and in the aggregate will repre-
sent an investment of a large amount of
money. The club house will be operated
this season for the first time. 1t contains
no sleeping accommodations, only arrange
ments for boarding cottagers.
There is considerable improvement going
on in and near the village of White Bear.
Ramaley has sold large number of his
lots, and expects that fifty or more cottages
will soon be erected. Of the houses burned
last year all will be rebuilt eventually, al
though DR.. Bryant'S is the only one that
will be erected right away. John Getty,
Messrs Brice and Murray and James Muir
ray are building nice cottages, and G. B.
Cobb, the station agent, is putting up an
imposing brick residence.
The fishermen who do not wait for the
formal opening of the summer season have
already been visiting the lake this year, and
have brought back substantial results, in
the shape of long strings of fish, The lake
is several inches higher than usual, and the
black bass are biting very freely.
