Wealthwood, Cutler, Midland, Gar
rison and Vineland. The scenery is
picturesque from either of these points
and the time may be pleasantly
passed in fishing, boating, exploring
the wilderness, studying bird and
insect life and in many other ways.
Life on the lake shore possesses a
fascination which tempts one to envy
poor Lo. The wild grandeur of the
country is indescribable.
OF lakeside hostelries the o. A.
Haggberg place here at Isle is among
the best. The house is situated on an
eminence which slopes gradually
down to the water's edge, where a
substantial dock and a boat house
sufficiently large to accommodate
three launches have been built An
excellent table is set at the Haggberg
hotel and the host and hostess are
very accommodating people-they do
their utmost to make it pleasant for
visitors. At this time there are about
a dozen guests at the house, most of
them from Minneapolis, and they are
having glorious time.
At Cove there is a very pretty sum-
mer trysting place conducted by Mr..
and Mrs. Adolph Olson and another
beautiful place on the south shore
kept by Mrs. Rogers.
AS to the Luella-This vessel is IS
feet long, has draft of five feet and
an average speed of 10 knots. Her
engine is of so horse power and she
can carry over SO passengers. She
was built for the Lake Superior trade
four years ago and is a staunch, trim
and safe boat. Her passenger cabin
is comfortably upholstered, which
adds to the pleasures of a trip
aboard. The Luella is owned by the
Mile Laos Transportation and Con-
struction company, Duluth corpor-
alton with a capitalization of $50, 900.
j. L. Travers, whose headquarters
are at Wahkon, is the company IS
agent. He is genial, accommodating
gentleman of much business ability
and push. Mr.. Travers tells US that
the company which be represents has,
since it commenced business in June,
1909, expended 10000 for construction
and equipment. This includes two
barges for handling freight, pile
driver, dredge and construction of
piers. The company recently COM
pleted $4,000 dock at Wahkon for
the 500 people, and the railroad COM
pany intends to shortly run a spur
from it's main line to this dock to facil-
itate the handling of freight by the
Transportation Co. Mr.. Travers
says that while his company is not
now making expenses, he foresees a
time when the stockholders will re-
ceive good interest on their invest
ment-he is confident that the country
around the lake will develop rapidly
and the venture consequently pay.
The captain of the Luella is M.
Madsen and the engineer E. N. Jen-
sen, both accommod ating gentlemen.
Charley Malone has beautiful
place on the east side of Isle harbor.
It is 10 acres in extent and stretches
back from the lake front. Surround
ing his residence the wilderness has
been converted into pretty park
with big shade trees dotting the
grounds. A couple of cottages are
located near the shore for the accom-
mediation of summer visitors who de-
sire to rent them. A deep, narrow
channel separates the main land from
Ethel CASUALLY called Malone's)
island. This channel is a fine place
for fishing and the island-5O acres in
extent and wooded-was at one time
used by Mr.. Malone as a sheep pas
ture. The last flock which Charley
pastured there, however, was deci-
mated by the Indians. He says that
the noble red men, or their squaws, in
their ignorance of right and wrong OF
course, started a butcher shop on the
island. One of the attractions at Mr..
Malone's is his deer stockade. He
has buck, doe and fawn, the latter
born in captivity. One fine doe was
ripped open and killed by the buck.
Had it lived he would now have six
instead of three deer. The animals
are so tame that they will lick one IS
hands through the interstices of the
stockade palings. Mr.. Malone has a
herd of nine milk COWS and cultivates
a portion of his land. Last year he
raised 1,500 bushels of Burbanks and
most Of them are still in the pit. q

part of the country who has had more
experience with the Indians or bette,
understands them than Charley
Malone. His narratives of persona
