FROM SHOREHAM

CtidALls I111llls, ulIS#ltS-11 SEA-
son at Shoreham, which is about six
miles from Detroit, Mimi, and which
is most popular with the people of
Fargo, may be said to be fairly on.
and the big hotel of c. w. ziebelI,
which is named Shoreham, is fairly
well filled with visitors and more are
promised.
Shoreham is a beautiful place locat-
ed at what might be termed the juno
ton of Lake Sally and Lake Melissa,
the two being connected by q narrow
channel, through which the boats pass
and in addition there is a postoff1ce
which is much patroniZed in the sum
mer months. Here is kept a little store
by the Richmond hotel people and they
supply all of the c%ottagers for miles
about, although the storekeepers of
Detroit ere also very attentive in this
respect.
Shoreham is very much of a Fargo
resort, and there are hundreds from
the city there during the season, many
of them owning fine cottages, some of
them being almost palaces.
There is an auto line that runs from
Detroit to Shoreham many times a day.
end the new boat line began opera
tons last Saturday, carrying passen-
from Detroit to Shoreham for the
sum of 25 cents. the auto lines asking
getting for the same service the
sum of 81. The boat service, which is
called The Pelican Valley Navigation
Co., is partly made up of Fargo men,
for which w. w. Smith is the presi-
dent, while Col. Morton Page is the
vice president, admiral and vice adj
miral as they are dubbed, with Com
modore West of Detroit as the active
head of the company. At present a
neat little craft is plying the water,
but a handsome new boat is building
and will soon be launched, Colonel
Page being expected to deliver the adj
dress at the launching.
The boat will make the trip between
the two places in about an hour for
the round trip. while, the new boat will
be leased out for pleasure parties Of
from thirty five down to as low as five
at very low rates.
Saturday night the first dance of the
season took place at the Shoreham
fair. Among the participants or sim
ply lookers-on were Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert X. Keller and daughter, Miss
Madeline, Mr.. and Mrs. Tubbs, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Teaehout, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wick Wood, Mr.. and Mrs, Eaton,
Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Burbank and sew
eral others, all of Fargo, and Mr..
South of Casselton. The music was
charming and was much enjoyed.
Within the past few days the cot
tages have been filing up and there
is every eason for believing that they
will all be filed before the season is
many days older.
w. ]. Lanes cottage is open for the
season, his relative, Mr.. Lampman.
RothWell of Fargo at present occupy
ing it.. Mrs. Rothwell and the children
have been here several days and Mr..
|RothWell was down for over Sunday.
Mr.. Lampman lis. something of a
naturalist, and has already discovered
Where the dragon fly came from. He
was sitting under a tree when he no.
ticed a shell-like substance which was
|clinging to q log, and he paid particu-
lar attention to it. Tt was a dragon
fly being born or Matched into the
world. The first that he saw of actual
life was a small red eye and then he
saw the insect bursting from It's co.
shell and come forth a fully ma
tured dragon fly. "Teach', says that
mosquito hawk, for he claims they are
death TO these very bothersone in
sects. There is no truth in the story
that he intends to import several OF
them for Island park. but he may.
These dragon flies i first class feed
for bass and are sometimes fished with
when they can be had, and they make
good bait.
The fish are biting, is a familiar
phrase that 500 starts all of the peo-
Iple from the hotels and cottages for
the water. Really the fishing has been
excellent, for sone very fine strings
have been secured, Teachout and
young Mr.. Edwards taking seventeen
fine bass in one morning, and this is
no fish story.
DIR, Mcintyre of Minneapolis, for
rnerly of Mayville, was a guest at one

MFR. Keller is getting into the expert
driving class. Miss Keller expects In
the near future to take lessons from
