In the Lake Regions OF Wisconsin,

the Chicago, Milwaukee ana st. Paul
Railway, are hundreds of charming To-
calities pre-eminently fitted for sum-

been fished out. These resorts range In
variety from the full dress for din

familiar to many Of our readers as the

Nearly all Of the Wisconsin points Of
interest are within a short distance
from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none
of them are 80 far away from the

declarations.
II cannot bc denied that In many
branches Of business there II a better

a large number Of trades there has
been much substantial improvement.
This can he accounted for on entirely
natural grounds. The period Of bust
ness prOstratIOn has had two results:
first. II enforced rigid economy all over
the country; and. second. It resulted
either In the payment Of debts or the
failure Of debtors. Incidental to this
was the reducing OF all property values
to the point where, speculative or ticti.
tlOus estimates were removed and prop
crty was reduced to valuation based
upon demand for actual use.
The payment Of debts by solvent
creditors all over the country removed
a depressing burden and has demon
strated the remarkable elasticity that
chnracterlzes business universally, but
especially IN the United States. II
