THE LAKE REGION or NORTH
DAKOTA !.
lRy "Lefty" hYm.es.l

Typographical and climatical varia-
.tions cause continents, nations and
states to be divided into regions more
Or less different in soil, people and
methods of living. In older nations
than the United States this is more
apparent, but even in q tour OF one
of the newer states OF the Union, this
variation is noticeable.
Location.
The lake region OF North Dakota
is a good example of this regional
separation. This region is made up
of seven counties spread out fan-like
north of Devils Lake. Its hub, the
city of Devils Lake, is four hundred
and six miles from the Twin Cities,
eight hundred and forty miles from
Chicago. and about one hundred and.
TWENTY-FIVE miles. north al Bismarck.
Tie counties composing the region,
namely, Benson, Cavalier, Nelson,
Pierce, Ramsey. Rolette and ToWner
couaties, are among the most progress
sive and rapid growing counties in
North Dakota, and offer the settler
all the advantages OF soil, rainfall,
transportation, climate and pleasure
that he may wish for.
A Land Of Lakes.
The people of the Flickertail state
and in fact the entire northwest, have
come to know those seven counties
as The Lake Region" because Of the
large and numerous timber frinzed
bodies of sparkling water found
throughout the region, and the beau
tiful forests of natural timber thai
dot the region and break the regu-
larity of the rolling priaries. Here
on the banks Of the Devils Lake, the.
largest body Of water In the state,
each summer one grand affair that
is a distinctive characteristic Of the
lake region, the North Dakota Chan
