it an ideal camping place. In
these beautiful grounds, situ-
ated on the, shores Of the bay
of Devils Lake, hundreds of
people spend their vacation,
camping beneath the trees in
tents or living in cottages.
The lake is fifty-six miles
long and twelve broad; the
bay is over a mile wide.
When one arrives at the
. grounds the beautiful waters
of the bay stretch away on
one side; on the other he
catches glimpses of the cot
tages and tents through the
trees. The Indian band from
the Fort Totten reserva-
tion across the lake, which
plays at all hours, is one of
the attractions. Bathing is
another and the water being
salty makes it unusually de-
lightfu1. I shall always re-
member the excursions on
the lake with the moon shin
ing, the band playing, and
the happy throng on the
steamer. Entertainments in
the auditorium, which is the
largest in the northwest,
consisting of all kinds of in
strumental and vocal music;
lectures by noted speakers:
plays, readings, impersona-
tions, stereopticon and moV-
ing pictures, make the eve
nings and afternoons most
enjoyable. The feature caus-

DESPITE the cries of calamity

Pennsylvania Railroad evidently
believes that the tide of prosperity

EVERY trunk line in the coun-

war a failure, that free trade would
bring prosperity, that free silver
was a panacea for all the evils of
the body polite, that the army
