LAKE MZlVlVETOVKA
LAKE RESIDENTS seem to snow little
inclination to change their lake home
for city abodes, and never before has
there been such decided sentiment
cottage colonies all along the shores,
but few families have moved in, and
the greater number of people who have
done so were guests at the boarding.
houses and at the hotels. Along the
most populated shores, such as Mime
tonka Beach, Ferndale, Orono, Wild
hurst Fairview, Linwood, West Point
and Excelsior, only one or two of the
cottages have been closed. This is due
IN great measure to the excellent lake
service which all the railroads around
the lake are keeping up and which will
be continued until the end of the
WGnth and if necessary, longer. From

ony is smaller by about four parties.
At Mlnnetonka Beach nothing seems to
indicate that people are even thinking
OF going into the city, and from the
Pineos down to the Williams and An
son Brooks cottages residents are still
out. West Point has nearly it's full
contingent, for only one cottage is
only three families have gone in, and
the Excelsior and Linwood people are
still conf ortably settled with the ex-
ception of one or two families. More
people have moved in from Cottage
wood than from other points. Around
the upper lake people continue to en-
Joy the beauties of the lake in it's fall
dress, and at Spring Park, Phelps
Island assoc Point Howards Point
Birch Bluff and other resorts the houses
are open. Traffic on the lake, of
course. has abated somewhat, but there
are still steamers which make the reg
ular run every day. The Acte and the
Plymouth meet all trains coming from
and going to the city. The Puritan,
the Victor, the Hebe and other lower
lake boats make occasional trips and
the Comet still plies between upper
lake points.
The land known as Bickford 8 Point,
marking the long point off Solsberg s
Point and Meadville Park, has been
purchased by Victor Welch. The cot
tages which are now on the point will
probably be moved next spring on lots
further back, and the property will be
an attractive spot for new summer
homes next season. Henry Hutchins,
who owns great deal Of the lake shore
property around the point, is also inter-
ested in building up the cottage colony.
The land will be properly graded and
laid out into lots.
