The present season at White Bear
lake promises to be Il gay one, and peo-
pie in general VINO are interested in
making that the most charming as well
as the most accessible resort for st.
Paul people This season are already
moving out. 1t is safe to say shat the
present is the earliest season in this re
speet that Minnesota has seen for many
years, and the week that has just closed
found most OF the cottages around the
lake either occupied or arranged for.
The great majority OF people who own
their summer residences at White Bear,
the island, Mahtomedi, Dellwood and
Lake Shore will move into them this year
themselves. while last summer many of
them were rented. and more were unnc-
cupied during the entire season. This
week there are more cottages already
occupied than there were all through
the season last year. This change may
be'attributed largely to the fact that
last summer the worlds Iair proved 10
be SO large Il drawing card. as we'll as SO
complete drain on the already de.
pieted finances of great many people
that moving out of the city after the
fair had been done" was a financial
impossibiIity. Money may not be much
more plentiful this year, but people,
especially those with families, are be.
coming all the time more CONVINCED
that the best thing from an hygienic
point of view is to take the children of
the family at any rate awayfrom the
city and from the chances OF disease.
The place 10 go is always problem,
as, if the father or other members Of the
family who have to be in the city dur
ing the day are to enjoy any of the
privileges of living at the lake, the
place selected must lie fairly near at
hand, and one that can be easily reached
by train.
Now that the lake that is the particu-
lar property of st. Paul people fur
nishes all these requirements has long
been conceded, even by the people who
like 10 ruStica;e on much larger scale,
and that avery large number of people
will take advantage Of living within
twenty-five minutes ride of such
charming place this summer, goes with
out saying.
So much for the prospects at the lake
for this summer in general way. But,
TO be more specific: Several families
are already at their homes on the island,
and the other people are putting their
cottages in readiness to move out
n the course of few days.
ccmmodious summer homes building.
Among these may he mentioned the one
that j. l.. Stack is putting up. At Nah
tomedi. the most quiet and homelike
spot on the lake. nearly all the cottages
are already occupied. while Wildwood,
the giddy younger sister, is preparing
10 give her patrons a very enjoyable if
rather Quieter time than she gave the
crowds who spent their spare hours on
her shores last year. The merry-go-
round, the toboggan slide, the roller
coaster and all the other attractions will

running trains out to the lake and will
soon put more freQuen!,ones on the line.
At White Bear proper things are jog.

Lake Shore. f. w. Ramaley, who is i'll
charge of the pavilion this year. is pre-
pairing for big seasons work. The
Minneapolis Base Bali league has leased
the base bali park in Ramaley Park, and
is building Il grand stand to accommo-
date 5000 people. This will be COM
pieted and grounds opened next Sun
hay.
On the whole the season promises to
be very gay one. especially when one
thinks OF the exceedingly dull time that
We spent at White Bear last year.
A great deal of the gaiety will center
