sort country. 1t is surrounded by one
of the best agricultural and stock
raising sections of the park region.
1t only wants more good farmers to
develop it along these lines.
The town itself can easily be taken
as model for towns of it's size. 1t
Is filled with progressive people who
take pride in their surroundings.
The residences are fine. Neatness
seems to be hobby. l'he streets are
dseaS sThe business buildings are
arranged for utility and attractive

Situated as the town is on the slope
of the lake beach, natural surface
drainage is provided which with the
exception of small area consisting of
about a block, makes artificial drain
age Unnecessary. The soil is sandy

water facilities will open up a region
Of exceeding attractiveness where new
cottage settlements can be located.
A Public Dock Established.
1t has been said that the city of
Detroit make things as mandy for the
summer dwellers as possible. This
has been we'll demonstrated by the
establishment of a public dock at the
foot of Washington street on Lake
Detroit. This dock and boat landing
Is free to all who wish to use 1t and
is a convenience that cannot be done
away with. 1t supplies the first and
last step in the transportation of bag
gage, supplies or passengers by water,
and has been found very handy by
those owning launches or yachts. At
present there are twenty gasoline
launches and four yachts on the lakes,
mostly owned by private parties. Mo-
tor boating has also became quite pop
ular and a number of them have been
put on the lakes. Two of them have
speed of twenty miles an hour. 1t
is fully expected that the number of
all kinds of craft will be increased
greatly during the summer-it being
estimated that by the end of the sum-

and become the summer abiding

parts of the country.
People from Fargo, Winnipeg, Min
neapolis. St Paul. ansas City, st
Louis and from the towns and cities
over North and South Dakota, Minne-
sofa and Manitoba own beautiful cot
tages on these lokes and every sum-
mer spend happy time there.
1t is especially adapted to Fargoans.
Forty seven miles from that city. 1t is
possible for large numbers OF families
to spend the summer on the lakes,
Business men can also go to Detroit
on Saturday evening and spend Sum
day with their families or fishing and
return Monday morning in time for
work. For these reasons large num-
ber of people of Fargo own or lease
cattages and spend the hot months In
this beautiful region.
Diversified Surroundings
The beauty of the Detroit lakes re-
gion is enhanced by a great diversifi-
cation of scenery. On the west is the

viii be on the lakes. There are alse
hundreds of row boats for fishing pur.
poses.
Fishing 10 Excellent.
This brings to mind chat fishing il
one of the leading sports to be in
ing Is good. 1t Is an easy matter 70
catch good string in an afternoon
and number OF record catches have
been made but Ii will be best not to
mention these as Ash stories are tick
lish to deal with.
Fishing on these lakes is bound to
improve. The people of Detroit and
the summer residents have united in
efforts TO enforce the fish laws and to
keep the lakes well stocked. Last year
100000 pike fry were placed in the
lake together with 100000 bass and
cropie fry.
There now remains little doubt but
that the state will establish Ash
hatchery on Lake Detroit For the
past three sessions OF the legislature
this matter has been nrough up. Last
session a committee OF thirty from
the senate and the house conferred
with committee from the town of
Detroit and the matter was arranged.
However owing to the stress OF other
business in the legislature the matter
of establishing this hatchery was
crowded out. but there is every rea-
son to believe that the next legisla-
ture will definately settle the matter.
AS now the lakes are ideal for fish,
ermen. People come from far AMI
wide to fish in the Detroit lakes and
they have never been disappointed
with results, All facilities are at
hand and the fisherman arriving in
Detroit can get into immediate action
after a short walk to the lake front.
On all of the newer lakes hotel ac-
comodations are handy. The town of
Detroit has seven hotels. Excellent
board can also be obtained at a num-
ber of private houses in the city. At
Nelson bay, Lake Sally and on the
channel connecting Lakes Sally and
Mellisa there are hotels, while at the
settlement at Lake View Springs and
on Lake Mellisa board Jan be secured
with private families. These make it
very convenitnt for the fisherman and
those who wish to stay at the lakes a
short time.
Detroit a Business Center.
Not only is Detroit located in re-
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1909-05-15

kages for enjoyment, rest and recupera-
zion. Another beauty about it is that
Ht is not a scenic railway, merry go
round resort. The people Of the town
have realized the demands of the
summer resident. They have bent
their efforts to keeping out this class
of entertainments-have made it a
high class resort for those people
who can spend the summer in cot
tage by the lake or who stay a few
days on one of the lakes fishing.
! Detroit has bonified population of
$4,000 people. While a town, it is in
bbeauty and facilities little city
bclean and up-to date. with this 1t is
mot standing still but improvements
are being made which are notable in
the extreme and will increase its value
las a town for homes and summer re-
screationists.
( The Lakes and Resorts.
7 Geographically located in one of the
most favored spots in one of the most
beautiful parts of the park region it
offers unexcelled advantages to the
summer resident. A six block walk
brings one from the business section
of the city to the shore of Lake De-
b troit. A few miles further by boat or
carriage is Lake Sally, a short dis
tance rurther is Lake Melissa. Still
further is Pelican lake, Lake Lizzie

SIGNAL TO MARS FEASIBLE.
FIammarion Thinks Electric Light
Would Be Better for Purpose,

Would Be Better for Purpose.
Prof. w. H. Pickering's plan Of sig
mailing Mars by, series of mirrors was
submitted by The Herald correspondent
to M Mamille Flammarion, The pro-
position has the fun approval of the
eminent French astronomer, who said:
THE project certainly is quite feas-
ible Signaling with light refectors, of
course. is the only practical method of
attempting to communicate with other
worlds, and Prof. Pickering has very
wisely suggested July as the best time
for making the experiment, because al
though Mars will be nearest to the
earth in September the two planets at
that epoch are in opposition so OBJ
viously that it would be impossible TO
reflect the suns rays from the latter
to the former.
I'm July, however, while only 9O,-
100000 of kilometers, roughly, will
separate the two worlds, they will be
so placed that IL lines were drawn
from one to the other and from each to
the sun. they would become theoreti-
cally very simple affair.
Other savants from time to time
! have studied the possibilities of such
scheme, but personally think a stiIl
bettti way of putting a system Of
mighty refiectors in practice would be
hs electric light reflectors at night, as
the luminous projections thus thrown
from the dark surface OF the earth
would be seen much more easily than a
reflected light intense enough in itself,
but neutralized to certain extent by
the bright surface OF the sunlit earth
"In either case, the signals could
certainly be seen by the Martians,
provided they possess instruments ana
other means OF perception equivalent to.
our telescopes The experiment might
be tried in any part of the world Sup
posing the signals were seen and ans
wered. the rest would be easy"

I is reasonable and the cost of cot
| tage can be shaped to fit almost any
pocketbook. This makes the lakes att
tractive to people of moderate means.
With these things IT is easy to see
why the Detroit lakes have q future
before them, bound to make them one
of the greatest summer resorts in the
entire country.
Lakes Are Navisable for Steamers.
The lakes near Detroit are formed
fnto chain by the Pelican river
which joins them. 1t is notable that
this river has its head In Becker
county, about three miles from the
headwaters of the Mississippi. The
lakes themselves are quite deep and
clear and are navigabfe TO quite large
boats. The Pelican river has also
been dredged between the first of these
lakes and with the erection of locks
this stream has been made navigable
for good sized boats which ply be-
tween Detroit and the southern lakes.
The entire chain OF lakes that can
be reached by boat extends for forty
miles and includes ten rakes. These
bodies of water vary considerably In
size and shape. They have shore
line of nearly 400 miles suited admira-
BILE for cottage settlement purposes.
The channels of four of these lakes
are navigable for steam craft and for
nearly twenty years the twin screw
steamer Lady of the Lakes, and It's
successor the Mayflower, have during
the summer, made three or more daily
trips to Lake Melissa.
This is one of the means by which
the cottagers go to and from Detroit
and their summer homes. This boat
touches at the cottage settlements.
Lying on the Pelican r1ver between
Lakes Sally and Melissa, is the village
of Shorham and the boat makes good
connections with these places. Good
roads, which being of a sandy nature
are good in all kinds of weather, also
run between all the cottage settle
ments. These make a splendid means
Of transportation. Many of the cot
tage dwellers own automobiles or
gasoline launches and make the trips
in these.
Since last August force Of men
have been at work on the channels
connecting three more lakes. 1t is
fully expected that during the present
season a new boat, now under con-
struction, will be making regular trips
to Pelican lake. This addition to the
