The winter train service to Tonka Bay on the St. Louis road, ordered Saturday by he state railroad commis sion, will build up an all-the-year round population at Manitou, Tonka Bay, Eureka and contiguous points. It will have a good effect on the char acter of houses to be built the future, as a house to withstand the winter rigors must be of a higher class than the average summer cottage. About twenty families are ready to use this service into the city at the present time. A southern Minnesota man will build twenty cottages next spring at Manitou. If assured of all the-year-rou nd train service he will build cottages for winter use.
