WHITE BEAR LAKE NOTES.

The event of the week at White Bear
has been the granting of the franchise Tor
an electric line through the village to the
Twin: City Rapid Transit company. This
line, ifit comes around by the south shore
from Wildwood, as NOW projected, will
give pa ssehgers "a Gompiete Tour -;of the
lake by steam and electric line, as Well
as communication with ST. Paul and Still
water, and with Minneapolis via ST Paul
by electric line. The people of White
Bear are consequently watching with
great interest the development of the
plans for establishing the new line.
Another event likely to arouse interest
not only a White Bear but in st. Paul
and throughout the entire county is the
action of the property holders at Bald
possible the tapping of that beautiful
lake by the city water commissioners for
the use of the SANITY City. The Bald
Eagle gentlemen will probably follow the
good example set them by White Bear,
and organize a, permanent improvement
association to protect and advance the in
tersts of their lake. They are already
seeking the assistance: of the White Bear
Improvement association in their efforts
to turn away the attention of the water
commissioners from Bald Eagle. 1t would
seem as though this were one point on
which the two associations have an in
terest in common, and where their united
forces could work tremendously and
effectively to- protect the interests of this
section of our fair state from serious and
permanent injury. However, this may
be, the gentlemen about Bald Eagle are
taken determined stand in opposition to
what they believe would be a permanent
injury to Bald Eagle lake.
A delegation of thirty Catholic Fores ers
