Writes of the Country
THE LAND OF 10,000 LAKES
Early Settldrs on Verge of Passing
Through Transition Period as to
Occupation and Livelihood
IP1NE GONE CAMP, Dorset, Minn.,
Aug. 2—
This surely Is a great natural play
ground, as it will be for the •whole na
tion (pending the. development and its
familiar knowledge to the inhabitants
In our cities. 'Every nation seems to
recognize the civic necessity for relax
ation and play lor its people—to. di
version from the strenuous life which
the average American takes much too
seriously, and defines life a* a grimi
duty without slacking the tension
looks upon it as a constant warfare
with the powers of. evil that be—90
per cent are imaginary and mere bug-,
aboos. Wonder if tfaey will t»e happy/
ia heaven .where Jthere«is nothing of.
that kind.
Northern Minnesota has more lakes
than all the states in the union com
bined. In
round
numbers there ate
ten thousand of them, picturesque, see
nic. suiblime and when you take to1
these pictures of nature you cannot
frelp but think that if Vould take a
Raphael or Micfhael Angelo a thous
and years to paint one like them. Tn®y
are the best imitations leaving out the,
artistic Skill of a grealt painter, as al
so is a phonograph, a film picture, etc.
There are many of the lakes with
4nore than, -600 mil«8 off shore line and
the clearest of water, stocked with
all varieties of fish.- Certain lakes
foave certain kinds of Ash, viz. Big
Sfend ie noted fpr musktfhrage, Leech
lake for pike and pickerel, etc., while
on- land1 adjoining you will find traces
of itihe extinct Ibuffalo and moose, and
occasionally see a bUftk Ijoar pr deer,
in the regions not protected by the
game tow. Where there is such pro
tection, viz., Itasca, 'Porte an A other
places, they abound in good numbers.
In .the air we have the crane, the
Won, mallards' and wild dufeks and
geese that feed on the wild rtce fields
in the shallow waters, of the lakes.
They vie with the Chippewas in har
vest timfe, as the rice is a dlsfe highly
prized by the nktives, and soane is al
po shipped to Minneapolis and other
cities. Tie Chippewa Indian is now
confined to the CJilppewa reservation
and the fertile ground of their last
stand is found on Bear Island in Leech
lake.
The early, settlers aire on the Verge
tot passing through ji transMQf P«r.iPd.
as to their occupation and means .of
livelihood. Perhaps about twenty,
years ago ea«h.gtown man was
^^^ert in the liiiinbffr industry ^the
farmers would make a /makeshift at
tempt at farming iij enimner months,
and hi winter be employed at logging—
come out with- $1000 or $1200 in the
spring. Now since ttoat industry^ as
far qs thid part" is cdncekmeft is indent
'history, «nd they are obliged took
aftqr their fanmitig interests atid espe
ciaAfy dairying is a suotSessWl line.
All grasses and grain is indigenous to
'this part of Maine—growing voluntar
ily anywhere without any "effort. This
Obuntry needs a good amount of rain
'and usually gets it, as the sandy soil
radiates the heat li|de a furnafce and
VHries ou.t quickly., The best poitatoes.
In America are raised in northern Min
nesota. I
It is a novel and interesting sta4yj
ior one from the prairies Iowa to
®ee the different kinds of trees, white
ipine, pitch pine, jack pine, white pop
iar. balm of Gilead or black poplar,
^birck, tamaitoick, jack oak, maple (that
iield sugar). Ali the small frni'ts grow'
in abundance, strawberries, red and
felack raspberries, black berimes and'
?the jBne&t of all the blue terries, as
thick in places as hair on a dog's batok
and as large as cranberries.
When one studies the resources of
Ithis part of Minnesota one can't help
but «'ee a wonderful picture for this
Country. Just nibrth ot here some 500
or 1000 miles extends a range of hiHs
from' .Duluth west. No geologist has
•been able to And the limits of this
ta«ore»with

Off a thin layer of«oil,' and even tts
down a$ Leech lake you can find
a magnet-iibpaytag
quati-•
titieis. It is known that these iron
Meads dt Minnesota, Michigtan and
Wiafionsiii are the most extensive in
'the *wortd and the Immense demand
for iron and steel in our country will
develop this into a gigantic, industry
in ibhe ne^t twenty-five years, and if
our 'young men are. seeking a land of
promise, here It is. No matter if: you
watft, to' take up farming, poultrying.
dairying or what not, here is a oomlng
market at handsome prices for any
^thiijg that may be produced.
The climate here, eight months of
ithe jrearj, is almost ideal: No oppress
ive hot .days*,, or smothering sleepless
nights. You think you. weigh about
half as much as in the middle Missis
sippi' valley and you can exert your
self •without, any discomfort. There
are drawbacks, as they say "It is
world ail over," and one Of them is
cold winters. Ice1, freezes here 38 to
40 inches thick and the temperature is
often 44 to 50 degrees below zero. One
met .middle «£$• when the fires begin
to burn low, drefeds it, yet the natives
declare it 1b not so unbearable as it
seems, as it 1b more £ry than in the
low regions, hence hot such Chilling,
