SELLING wATEs LOTS.
shrewd Scheme of Minnesota Real
Estate specuIators.l

MINNEAPOLIS, Mlnn., August 17.-Swind-
ers have put upon the Eastern market two
additions to Dake MlnnetOnka. known as
Forest Lake Park addition and Forest Lake
addition to Saga Hill. Lots have been sold
for whatever they will bring. A tongue OF
land runs In between the north and west
aims Of the lake. On the west arm Is located
the we'll known Saga Hill addition. On the
north arm is the Forest Hill addition, which
Is also all right.
Just between the two and not connected
with the main lake save by creek, lies Fer
est Lake, a small sheet OF water circular In
form and quite deep. That lake contains
less than two hundred acres OF surface, and,
consequently, under the rule. Is not marked
at ali In the government plots, but appears as
land. Swindlers have taken advantage Of
this fact and have plated two additions
which appear as land In the government plots,
which are really water.
