White Bear.

The bright. warm weather in the lat
ter part of the week was suggestive Of
lake breeZeS and mosquitoes, and per
consequence, number of families who
had not yet taken possession of their
summer homes embraced the oppor-
tunity to do so. 1t is a noticeable fact
that never before in the history of
White Bear has. there been such a de-
mand tor cottages, and there are but
few left unrented. Harry McClung,
who owns cottage just be-
yond the bridge, says that he
has had no less than half a
dozen different parties after his house,
the first party applying way back in
February; but the Meetings. will not
rent this year, and expect to move out
about the first of the coming month.
The hotels, too, are filling up, and will
be in full blast in week or SO. "How
far is it across the lake?" is question
one often hears. Distance OH the water
is a hard thing to determine by any one
not accustomed to it. A visit to the
surveyor generals office in st. Paul
discloses the fact that White Bear
has just ten and half miles of
shore line, including, of course, the
penipsular. From the southern eX-
north Shore, near White Bear beach,
there is stretch of three miles and
quarter. This will make a good course
for the White Bear Yacht club. The
distance from the Williams house to
Mahtomedi is two miles and a half,
while the lake at its widest point meas
ures two miles and quarter. The
county line dividing Ramsey from
Washington county strikes White Bear
a few rods east of the point of the island
and cuts the lakes almost in halves.
Leamon tells the following fish: story,
and apparently believes it himself. He
says that some few seasons ago Mrs.
Tarbox was fishing and had caught a
! good string but all unusually voTa-
cious pickerel getting tired of being
dragged through the water in company
with other scaly victims, closed his Jaws
upon the string by which they were
held captive, and away they went free,
their movements, being all bound to-
gether. And now Leamon steps in and
says that half all hour afterwards Mrs.
Tarbox had a tremendous pull on her
line, and 10 and behold, she had
CAUGHT HE SAME PICKEREl,
again, with all the other fish tied to
him. There is, as yet, no law in Min
nesota compelling man to believe
everything he hears. Next Thursday
evening at 7:3O o'clock the White Bear
Yacht club will hold its first regular
meeting at Ramaley's pavilion. The
first regatta will take place some time
in June. The following is partial list
