THE FOURTH At
LAKE lIETIGOSHE

Quite number Of people from
Bottineau. Rugby, Omemee, Souris
and other towns, spent the Fouth at
aautiful Lake Metigoshe. The editor
and family sought the shores of the
lake OF Saturday evening and SO great
were nature s charms for us that we
did not get away until the evening of
che fifth. Within ten or fifteen min
utes of our arrival we had caught
three fine fish from the dock in front
of the hetel. The rain which came
ON while we were eating a delicious
supper prepared by Mrs. A. {. Sims,
who is managing Hotel Metigoshe
this year, effectuallly put a stop to
further operations on Saturday
evening.
Sumo day dawned bright and clear
we speak for our own knowledge when
we say dawned for the first streaks of
light were Just appearing in the east
when we arose to drink in the beauty
of the char ming scenery of crystal
lake seen dimly through the hazy
dawn and gradually growing in beauty
as the sun unfolded at every step
some new delight. All day Sunday
teams arrived bringing a host of
pleasure seekers, most of whom re-
manned to spend the Fourth. At mid
night fusilade of cannon crackers
and display Of fire works was begun
TO usher in the nations birthday. The
early rising fisherman gave the sun
rise salute in a similar manner A
ride up the lake in the yacht Idylwild
brought us to excellent fishing grounds
where our party secured fine strings
of FISH. When we returned to a de-
lightfu1 proximity to the platters of
fresh cooked fish and other delicacies
which awaited us we found many new
arrivals. By noon the crowd was very
large and everyone seemed to be en-
joying themselves. A ball game be.
tween teams picked from the crowd by
Bro. Falkenstein and the editor was
called at o'clock. Landaker and
Daley were the battery for Bro. Fal-
kenste in 8 forces while Winkenweder
and Fraser did noble work in the same
positions on our side. A. s.. Nero,
Robt. McBrayen, J. j. Weeks. G. II.
Dale. Lars Ertresvaag and James Nc
Brayen were the other members of
the Falkenstein team. M. E. Hayes,
F. Bauer. Claude Hurt, E. B. Goss.
Rev. l.. F. Powell, r. J. Scully, Jones
and Haskett were members of the
victorious team. N. r. Snyder um-
pired the game to the satisfaction of
all concerned. The game ended at
seven innings with a score of 10 to 6
in favor of The Courant team.
Quite number of people came
from distance to spena holiday at
the lake and every one of them are
enthusiastic over our summer resort.
Several, including Mr., We'll. superin:
tendent of the Imperial Elevator Co.
and Mr.. Hall, Of Rugby, have bought
cottage lots in Metigoshe Park and
will return shortly to spend several
weeks there. A number of cottages
will be built very soon. The i'm
provement in service and the excellent
stage and livery facilities are doing
much to build up fine summer resort
at North Dakota s most beautiful lake
