DAYS
AT DEVILS LAKE
NORTH DAkoTA's CHIEF AMusE-
MENT RESORT Is PLANNING
BIG TIME FOR THE ANNUAL
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE
FEATURES.

Midsummer, sweltering days turn
thoughts to North Dakota's premier
summer resort and only watering
place-Devils Lake, the most beautiful
and the largest body of water in the
state.
With the Red River Valley Sanger
TEST which, after a two-day meeting in
the city Of Devils Lake continues in the
form OF a contest of choral societies on
Sunday at Chautauqua park, the North
Ike Chautauqua begins its twenty
hrst season, Sunday, June 20, has
been designated as Scandinavian day
by the Chautauqua association and
large crowds of Scandinavians from the
lake region and the eastern part of the
state will be present.
This season the chautauqua, on the
shores of the states prettiest body of
water, is held from June 29 to July 10.
Not a dull event is found on the pro-
gramme. Every day is filled by talent
of exceptional merit, and an tend
ance that will prove a record maker is
anticipated. Railway service from the
heart of the city of Devils Lake to
Chautauqua park is provided. The
Yacht n Boat club of Devils Lake
have provided a great number of sail
boats and canoes for the season, and
sailing and canoeing will prove one of
the great delights OF the summer. 1t
is a well-known fact that the waters of
Devils Lake are unexcelled for bathing,
and excellent facilities for this pleas
urable sport are afforded. On July A.,
the first regatta ever held in the state
will take place on the lake; yacht races
and many water sports being sched-
uled.
Camping is a favorite method of en-
joying the Chautauqua park pleasures
and programme, but ample hotel ac-
commodations are provided for visitors
at Chautauqua hotel. Tennis. baseball,
motoring along the pretty sylvan roads
of the lake shore, and horseback riding
are many of the added pleasures OF
summer life on the shores of North
Dakota's famous lake.
One of the most interesting features
at Chautauqua park is the biological
station of the state university which
Is established there. Many interesting
studies are conducted there, and much
may be seen that is of interest to the
average man. The station has sue
cessfully solved the problem of re-
stocking Devils Lake with fish, and is
conducting valuable experiments this
in Matching fish. 1t is estimat-
ed that within a few years Devils Lake
will again be the states greatest fish
ing resort.
On July 10. the North Dakota Ma
tional guard eslcamp about 500 strong
at the military reservation which
joins Chautauqua park on the shores
Of Devils lake. Here exists one of the
finest natural maneuvor grounds in the
United States and the soldier boys will
enjoy a fine outing for eleven days In
the woods about the lake.
