Bottineau entertained the
newspaper men Of the state at
the lake which is beautifully
situated among timber dotted
hills, and where are to be found
several hundred summer cot
tages. Boating, bathing,
dancing and social informing
ling. interspersed with bust
ness sessions of the association,
and a banquet on Saturday eve
ming, made up a program of
interest and pleasure. The
writer. found the Bottineau peo-
pie, the proprietors of the two
lake hotels and the summer
residents pleasant and con-
genial and ready to leave
nothing undone to contribute
to the comfort and pleasure of
the visitors. We were so for.
tunate as to be quartered at the
Commodious Weeks cottage
which nestled costly among
the trees on the lake front.

Lake Metigoshe is a beauty
spot, that has to be seen to be
appreciated, and one that is
certainly a Joy to residents of
that section of the state. It is
really surprising that more peo-
pie from other sections do not
spend more time there.
Threatening rain and poor
roads interfered with the at
tendance at the meeting but in
spite of that fact everyone there
enjoyed themselves fully, and
were we'll repaid for their trip.
The people of Bottineau were
most ho%spitable, especially
those having cottages at the
lake, and turned them over to
the use of the press boys. The
Bottineau Commercial Club,
aud the newspaper men of Bot
tineau county left nothing un-
done to make the stay a pleas
ant one and they are to be con.
graduated on their success. 1t
was one of the most pleasant
meetings we have ever attend
ed.

The Courant this week pub
fishes a number of comments
of the publishers of the state
who attended the summer
meeting of the North Dakota
Press association at Lake Metz
goshe. Many of the comments
have been abbreviated, their
length not permitting repro
duction of all the editorials in
their entirety. To the people
of Bottineau, and Bottineau
county generally, these express
sions can be nothing but graft
flying. 1t may open our eyes to
a fuller appreciation of what
we possess i'm Lake Metigoshe
and the Turtle Mountains gen
orally. That it will call the at
tention of thousands to the ad-
vantages of this region as a
summer resort goes without
saying. We believe, in view
of such profound appreciation,
that all will agree that the snm .
mer meeting of the N. D. p.
A. was we'll worth while.

Too much praise cannot be
given the citizens of Bottineau
for the manner in which they
took care of the visitors. No
to wn of its size ever went to
greater expense or worked
harder to show hospitality or
provide amusement. 7 h e
members of the commercial
club are deserving of especial
mention.
Those of the visitors who had
never seen Bottineau's summer
resort before were impressed
with it's beauty. All of them
will speak. a good word for it
at every opportunity.

It is the largest fresh water
lake in the state, being about
four miles in length and about
a mile wide. It has an irreglar-
" shaped shore line.
The shores of the lake are
bea utifully wooded with trees
of the ash, birch, oak, elm and
poplar varieties and affords
ample shade on the hot sum
mer days. Several beautiful
wooded islands dot the lake
which adds to it's beauty.

Last Friday and Saturday the

held on the shores of the beau

is located about fifteen miles

no better place could have been

Much credit is due to Bros.

The city water tank blew
up with a loud report last
Monday night and as a result
our water system is somewhat
on the bum, although the
regular service is not disturbed
as yet, owing to che fact that
the bottom six or eight feet of
the tank was unchanged. 1t
has been known for some time
that the tank was in bad shape,
the hoops having rusted down
so thin that they were unable
to stand the strain any longer.
Steps are under way now to
erect a new tank which will

It goes without saying that
we enjoyed ourselves IS we be-
lieve everyone there did as
nothing was left undone by the
good people of Bottineau that
could in the least manner cater
to the comfort and enjoyment
of their guests. While the
bad roads kept some of the ed

We, speaking now in the
plural as we'll as editorially, re-
turned Monday from an outing
since Thursday in North Da-
kota's only mountain range,
those morainic hills called
Turtle Mountains" We join
ed with other scribes of the
state in a meeting of the North
Dakota Press Association and
an outing at beautiful Lake
Metigoshe among the wooded
hills of the Turtle Mountains
in Bottineau county. Friday
and Saturday. and viewed for
our first time that wonderful
indenture of Natures handi-
work called, by it's Indian dis
coverers, beautiful Waters
Surrounded by Woods or
'Metigoshe.'
Although born and raised in
the state, we never knew be-
fore that North Dakota pos
sessed a natural summer re-
sort like Lake Metigoshe with
it's seventy miles of wooded
shore line, gravel beaches,
clear deep water and beautiful
islands. The people of that
part of the state, although ex-
tremely hospitable and most
thoughtful of the comfort of
their guests, have neglected to
let the rest of us know but
have quietly enjoyed the sum
mer months there year after
year, boating, swimming and
fishing. Their cottages dot the
shore line of several of the
beaches.
The editors were entertained
by the Commercial Club of
Bottineau who certainly show
us all a good time although
the weather was decidedly
against them. Their autoes
conveyed us to the lake, four
teen miles, and their cottages
housed US while there. They
furnished US a place to meet,
bands and vocalists to cheer US,
boats and launches to splash
about. the lake with, a dance
hall, and even dragged minis
tiers of the Gospel out through
the mud to pray and preach for
us. They met US with a brass
band and a hail storm, gave us
a h of a good time and sent
us home prouder than ever of
our wonderful state and her
good people and with a broader
knowledge of both.
Metigoshe is a summer re-
sort for our state to boast of.
Bottineau is a wonderful little
city that has many things to
boast of, among them being:
a live commercial club, the
state school of forestry, a fine
military bani and one of the
best male q%uartettes in the
state.

Bottineau had made plans
for a mighty good time for the
ne wspaper men, an d they were
probably more disappointed
than the guests. However,
we believe everyone had a good
time just the same. 1t is the
first time the press meeting
has been held outside of the
larger cities, and the Bottin eau
Commercial Club is to be con-
graduated on their efforts in
entertaining the editors in Just
as good a shape as the large
cities have done.

Nothing was left undone by
the Bottineau Commercial
Club to make the 1915 summer
meeting of the N. D. p. A. one
of the most enjoyable ever
held. The picturesque beauty
of the Turtle Mountains with
the wooded hills and valleys,
winding roads and the numer-
Gus silvery lakes made it an
ideal spots for a meeting of this
kind.

The Omemee base ball team
wound up last week. They
played 10 games winning 10,
loosing 6. Editor Matt John
son heralds the Omemee team
as twice consecutive champions
of Bottineau County, but we
cannot see how he figures it.
Last year One NEE met defeat
at the hands of Bottineau in
two out of three games and the
Bottineau team dropped but
three games out of twenty-five
played. We concede the One

eau county this year, but claim
the same distinction for our
team for last year. Bottin,

planned much for the enter

they were not able to carry it
