hence there will be a GOO -sized
village at this point. Al
ready there are several substantial
frame buildings the largest Of
which is owned and occupied by
Arthur i. Snow. Mr.. Snow con-
ducts a store and hotel and he car

business. He also dickers in real
estate and is glad to inpart IN

with a ready response. Tourists
are assured of good ac-
commodations and courteous treat
ment at Mr.. Shows.
There is a saw mill at South
Harbor but it is lying idle this
summer. The proprietors, John
son, Fosslund & Bergman are also
owners of the mill at Isle Harbor,
six miles east, and they do not
deem it advisable to run both mills
at the same time. In the near
future, however, both mills will
be run to their fullest capacity.
On Tuesday morning we en-
barked in the sail boat Petrol, the
best craft of its kind on the lake,
Jason Carter, captain. We laid in
a stock of canned goods, expecting
to make Garrison and circle around
the north and eastern shores Of the
lake and fetch up at South Harbor
again Thursday afternoon. But
contrary winds prevailed and after
rounding Mo-zu-ma-ni Point we
made for Lawrence post office in
the town of Isle Harbor. The en-
trance to this harbor is a regular
archipelago. Six islands were
within sight at one time varying in
size from one to ten acres. All of
the islands are heavily timbered
and one in particular is covered
with giant elms. The water in
places was very shallow and our
boat grated against the rocks oc-
casionally. Thousands Of snow
white gulls, about as large as
mallard ducks, we're resting on the
reefs that ran between the islands.
By noon we effected landing at
the wharf near E. F. Sargent's
store. MI. Sargent is the post
master at Lawrence, and does a
thriving business in general mer-
chandise. He treated us hand
somely and offered to place every
thing he had at our disposal. Mr..
Sargent has some enemies but
Dare and the writer voted him a
royal good fellow. Hawkinson &
Mattson's store is located about
60 rods west of the post office.
Frank Hawkinson is one of ma
lures noblemen, and few minutes
after our arrival we were partak-
ing Of an excellent dinner in his
kitchen. Here we met e. w.
Chase, Clarence Vinton and
several other sturdy settlers. The
boys were having lots of fun with
Clarence. Heretofore he has enjoyed
the proud distinction of being the
only simon pure Democrat in Isle
Harbor, but he says he has re.
formed and his Republican neigh
bors refer to him as the reformed
Democrat" About 2 P. NJ. We
boarded the Petrol and after beat
ing around the harbor for an hour
OF more finally got out into the
main lake, Skipper Carter looked
wise and said by close lacking we
might make Garrison in the course
of five or six hours. An hour OF
SO later while rummaging around
to find something to stay the pangs
of hunger, Dare, who is blessed
with a voracious appetite, made
the. alarming discovery that ou1
stock Of provisions were missing
Then we remembered that a gang
Of youthful Chippewas had taker
possession of our craft while We
were dining at Hawkinson's. The
thieving papooses had confscatec
our supplies! The Petrol was

Carriers Bay, the extreme south
eastern portion of the lake, which
was reached by $3.50 P. NJ. Here
is located Malone Island, which
contains about II acres. 1t is the
largest and most picturesque is
land in the lake. Mr.. Malone has
pre-empted this island. erected {
