MINNESOTA LAKES

Minnesota is very naturally the

the central states. Its attractions are
even sufficient TO draw visitors from
Gar beyond the borders of the region
mentioned. New York to the east.
Tennessee to the south and Colorado
TO the west. all are easily within it's
zone OF attraction. Minnesota has a
larger water area than any other state
or territory of the United States. Five
thousand six hundred square miles of
water. exclusive of Lake Superior, are
included within the boundaries If the
commonwealth. This comprises. ap-
p~roximately. 10000 lakes, large and
small. ranging from one to thirty
miles In diameter. OF the entire num-
her only ten "r twelve may be called
large. The large majority are found
IN the Lake Park region. which is,
foughl speaking, central Minnesota.
This region is ideally situated for

MANAGERS LOOK
FOR BIG CROWDS
July and August Expected to
Be Busy Time at the
Resorts.
FISHING is GOOD
FISHING IS GOOD

Resort managers in northern Min
nesota say that they expect such Il
rush during August and the latter
part of July that the accommodations
will be X to the utmost. While
the cool weather of the early season
kept some pleasure lovers at home,
the resorts have been we'll p%atronized
and business is picking mp rapidly
now that summer weather has really
set in.
Fishermen have enjoyed the cool
weather and are nov planning to go
to the lakes oftener and in larger
numbers. The hottest days will not
keep them from the lakes. Ever
though it be too hot to remain on the
water for long, they will be found in
shady hooks or up the lake or river
kets close at hand.
The game has lived up to the gem
eral average in most sections and in
mar -'aces fishing is said to he bet
ter than for many seasons past. A
few RECORD catches are reported. but
the biggest ''hauls'' will not be made
until later in the season, when the
midsummer anglers get busy.
While the cool weather has been
delightful for river trips. the genuine
summer time heat will not burn up
the enthusiasm of motor boat and
canoe parties who will be making
many plans for as many excursions
from on.
Present indications point to one of
the best seasons all around that the
northern Minnesota resorts have en-
owe in many years.

toward the summit Of the divide,
which separates the Lake Park region
from the Red river valley. being near

$50 feet higher than st. Paul.
All through the country south of
Detroit are found glacial morainic
hills and embosomed among them are
lakes, lakelets and ponds. a most
diversified topography is the result
Rugged hills roughly bearded with
trees; little wales v~ariegated with

Elevation and Climate.

Minnesota occupies the most elevat-
ed plateau between the Mexican Gulf
and Hudson Bay. the average eleva-
ton being about 1000 feet above the
level of the sea. Fogs and damp
weather are almost unknown. The
rarefaction and dryness of the at
mosphere make the region a very
hnalthful one. This is evidenced by
the fact that the city of ST. Paul re-
ceivcd the highest award at the Paris
exposition of 1900 as the healthiest
city in the world. and has since main
tanned this reputation.
Although there is plenty of warm
weather during the summer. the heat
is not excessive nor dehilitating. OBJ
servations. conducted at st. Paul. ex-
tending over a period of more than
th%irty-fve years. show the mean sum
mer temperature to be 70.6 degrees.
During the hottest week of the season
the thermometer registers. on an aver
age. from So to 90 degrees. The dry
ness Of the atmosphere prevents the
heat from being Oppressive: the nights
are invariably cool and sleep refresh

BURNED.

Fargo, N. D., June 26.-The big
stables of o. M. Strate in the northern
part Of the city, on Seventh avenue
North. were burned to the ground.
The loss is estimated at $1,000 though
it is believed to have been we'll COW
r by insurance.
None of the live stock in the stables
were injured by the flames as the
twenty-five head OF horses housed in
the barns were rescued from the
burning building. The origin Of the
blaze is unknown, though It is rum
ored that a cigar stub might have
started the whole fire.
Through the efficient efforts Of the
city fire department the fire was kept
from spreading to greater extent than
1t reached. Firemen Flynn and Loden
We're both badly scared by the flames,
though neither was seriously hurt.
The fire had a good start before the
department was notified and was hard
to conquer. 1t spread to one or two
adjoining buildings in the neighbo:-
hood. A residence belonging to M. A..
Baldwin and occupied by George
Stephens was damaged to some ex.
tent. The house is located Just west
Of the stables and the loss there is
estimated at about $500. Mr.. Stephens

neighbors rushed in and removed the
furniture before n serious damage
was done.

Better Move to
North Dakota

The climate of North Dakota is
healthful and invigorating. There is
a wholesome freshness about the at
mosphere that gives tones and spirit
to man and animals. It Is cold in the
winters. it is true. but there is a uni
formity in weather conditions and an
absence Of sudden and extreme
changes Of temperature that more
than compensate for the low temper
atures. The climate is far less trying
to persons Of moderate or feeble
health than that Of Chicago or New
York: It is an actual fact that less
clothing Is required for persons en-
gagged in ordinary occupations than IN
the more humid regions Of the east
sud south.
sprin~ usually opens in the latter
part OF March or early part Of April.
Seeding commences as soon as the
frost IL out OF the ground % a depth
Of ~ or eight inches. and as the
froet. at q greater depth. disappears,
tho resultant moisture assists material
~ In nourishtng the roots Of growing
crops. Breaking can be done until
Jply and harvesting commences about
the middle Of August.
The summer in North Dakota is
ds0ghtfui and healthful. For the
most part the days are bright and
sunny. warm but not hot with a pleas
ant breeze blowing V e the prairies,
while the nights are always cool.
Autumn is perhaps the most entoya-
bio season. the heat Of summer days
gradually tempering off while the cool
Of the night naturally increases. Some
times this weather continues until
December. While the Thermometer
undoubtedly registers lower in North
Dakota than in Pennsylvania, Ohio
or Indiana. 1t must not be supposed
that the Inhabitants suffer more from
the cold. As a matter Of fact 10 de-
sreee below at Mandan or Dickinson
is attended with far less discomfort
than 10 degrees above in Philadelphia
or New York. az. owing to the dry.
clear atmosphere. the cold is not so
penetrating as 1t Is in a more humid
climate. Railroads in this state ex-
perience less difficulty in operating
their lines than they do in territory
farther south. Tornadoes or destruc.
tive wind storms. often called cy-
clones. are so rar as to be almost
unknown.
Malaria is not known In North Da-
kota and many persons suffering from
consumption have been materially
benefited by moving to this state.

Patrolman Iverson Of Lester park
does not belong to the regulars.
The hook. line. pole. reel-in fact
all ordinary fishing paraphernalia--
are things to De laughed at. he says.
This blue coat also SCOTS at long,
tiresome. tedious tramps to far away
trout streams where hours are spent
in an atmosphere OF absolute uncer-
tainty.
Two good strong hands and a grip
which is acquired by training in the
police department are all that are
needed. says Mr.. Iverson, provided
YOU know where the trout are.
Patrolman Iverson knew. Yester-
day under the railroad bridge at Les
ter park. Mr.. Iverson dipped his
hands down in the cool recesses Of
a Swallowed pool and pulled out a
six-pound trout.
And the trout was very much alive
much so that at times Mr.. Iver-
son had to apply the giant grip in
order to prevent 1t from backsliding.
The fish measured twenty inches, tip
to tail.

feet alibi, She had made every ar

was ready to declare that for almost
an entire week she had been with his
mother. The motive is perfectly clear.
The woman was in straitened circurn-
stances. We can prove she was hard
pressed for money.
She tried to murder him to collect
the $4,000 on his insurance policies.
Why, the very fact that even now she

Mr.. Arnold charges openly that Mrs.
Grace took the journey to Newman to
prove her abb when the body was
found. 1t had been given out, he says,
that Grace was preparing to take the
trip arranged by her to Philadelphia,
so that his failure to appear at his
office and other accustomed places
would arouse no suspicion and cause
no comment other than that he had
gone on a business trip to the Penn
