A Lively Time at Plum.-The Camp

From all accounts, the trip of the

citation through the valley, was a sue
cess, and pleased all who participated,
but the camp at Plum was disappoint-
ment, in fact dispatch was sent to this
city notifying some who intended going
up not to do so. Later, conditions were
more satisfactory and the trip was
taken. We are informed, the camp
was down Plum Creek, nearly a mile
from Plum Lake, at what is known as
the Bradley logging camps. There is
nothing beautiful about the spot, it is in
old pine choppings and on sand heap.
The creek, in its normal condition, will
hardly float boat. From the camp
there is no direct path or road to the
lake, but it is necessary to take the
road which makes det0ur to some
where in the neighborhood of Sayner's $
resort before it touches the lake, which
makes a walk of several miles and then
there were very few boats an6 no con-
veyances. The correspondent for the
Evening Wisconsin says in reference
to the camp:
MANY of the excursionists have left
for their homes. There is not little
disappointment over the fact that the
camp was not located on the shores of
Plum Lake as was expected. Instead
it is from one-hah to two miles away,
and no boats are to be had when the
lake is reached. The Association has
promised carriages to take the people
to the lake and boats in plenty after
reaching there, but thus far they have
not materialized."
Notwithstanding, the editors and those
who accompanied them have enjoyed
themselves. From Rhinelander sixteen
went over to Eagle River and spent
Sunday on the lakes about that city.
and on Monday drove over to Plum
Lake. H. H. Wright took the whole
crowd, at different times, over his log
ging road to Trout lake and gave them
ride on that beautiful sheet OF water,
and the different resorts threw open
their doors and extended the same cor
dial hospitality that was shown the edi-
tors in different cities along the valley.
1t was a mistake not to have placed the
camp on the beautiful banks of Plum
Lake, but no matter where the editors
were placed they would have their fun
and enjoy themselves. They had Indian
pow vows, minstrel and other enter
tainments, dancing, etc. They even
ran daily paper, issued by Bert Will
Iiams, of the Ashland News, William
Kies, of the Madison Cardinal, and Ray
Starks, son of G. G. Starks, of the Ber-
lin Journal, and as the following speci-
men locals, taken from the special to
