Fogs and damp weather “are almost unknown. The refractions and dry- ness of atmosphere make the region a very healthful one. This is evi- denced by the fact that the city ot St. Paul received the highest award at the Paris Exposition of 1900 as the healthiest city in the world. “Although there is plenty of warm weather during the summer, the heat is not excessive. Obser- vations conducted at St. Paul,extend- ing over a period of more than twenty-five years, show the mean summer temperature as 70.6 degrees. During the hottest week of the season the thermometer registered on an average from 85 to 90 degrees. The dryness of the atmosphere prevents the heat from being oppressive, and the nights are always refreshingly cool. “To beat alake in Minnesota is to be where the very best varieties of fish abound, for the lakes of Minnesota, without exception, teem with game fish and are kept well stocked with fry from our state hatcheries. Pages could be written describing the wondrous charms of Minnesota’s beautiful lakes whose clear and cool waters,pebbly bottoms and shady shores present an alluring picture to the tired and worn city dweller while the darting bass and pike,which are found in every lake, afford an irristible attraction to the enthusiastic fisherman. A peculiar fact is that Minnesota lakes and summer resorts are not confined to one part of the state alone, for one may visit at any amount of lakes near cities, on electric line, with modern hotels and every late improvement, or you can go far from the city, or even from habita- tion, and pitch your tents on the wild shore of a beautiful northern Minnesota lake, or beside the rush- ing brook in a primeval forest of the north, and find yourself “alone with nature.” “In close proximity to almost all Minnesota lakes, hardwood timber is found in abundance, and the camper who wishes to rough it and enjoy the pleasures of genuine camp life, finds fuel easy to get, while innumerable springs gush forth an abundant supply of clear and cold water. “You should spend yeur vacation in Minnesota because it is a place of beauty, of health, of joyous out- door life, of fishing, of hunting, of accessibility. Its lofty hills, grace. ful slopes, verdant nooks, . crystal streams, limpid lakes, innumerable pleasure resorts, boating,fishing, out- | Possesses Many Attractions, , Flled With All Varieties Easily Accessible, "Among the many summer resorts famous in the large cities, as well as many of the southern states’ are: Osakis, Alexandria, Grey Eagle, An- nandale, Walker, Cass Lake, Detroit, Ortonville, Taylors Falls, Fairmount, Lindstrom, Chicago City, Glenwood, Battle Lake, Clear Lake, Clitheral, Sylvan, Wright, Minnetonka, South Haven, Otter Tail, Dorset. “Information relative to any sum- mer resort in the state will be fur- nished upon application to this de- partment. “While Minnesota’s lakes, with their excellent fishing. are a drawing card for summer tourists and follow- ers of “Isaac Walton,” through the summer months, fall, with its unex- celled sport in the forest and field, is another important feature in Min- nesota’s natural pleasures. Go in any part of the state, and you will find abundance of game in the fall of the year., On the prairies of southern and western Minnesota the stubble fields at fall time furnish ex- cellent sport, for in these parts the turtle dove, snipe, prairie chicken, pinnated, white breasted or sharp tailed grouse, woodcock, uplandl plover and golden plover are found in great number, while later on the fall geese and ducks are found to some extent, particularly the latter, who pay their annual visit to the lakes and streams of this reigon, while many geese and brant make their feeding ground on the western wheat fields. “In the timbered portions of the state, viz: eastern, central and north- ern Minnesota, the quail, partridge, ruffle grouse and pheasant make their home, and in the dense thick- ets, which ate found in many parts of this region, the partridge are found in abundance, while quail and grouse are taken in limited numbers. Many ducks of all varieties are also found in the rice beds of the many lakes and streams, and some geese are in evidence, “In the great woods to the north still timidly clinging to their favor- ité haunt, though now on the fringe of civilization, the white tail deer are found in abundance, while moose and bear are occasionally seen, but the elk and caribou are practically extinct. Stringent laws protecting the game and fish of Minnesota have been passed by our legislature, and a state commission, assisted by a corp of competent wardens, keep these laws strictly enforced, and the good work is already in evidence, for it is now conceded beyond a doubt that wild game in this state, particularly deer, prairie chickens and partridges, are becoming more plentiful each year, while the successful propaga- gation of all kinds of fish in our state fish hatcheries fortells the fact that Minnesota’s lakes will never become destitute of fish. “Fur bearing animals of nearly all varieties are found along ‘the lakes and streams, even in the highly developed portions of the state, while further to the north, in the sparsely settled districts, fox, wolf, and all other fur bearing animals are found in great numbers, and trapping is followed - quite extensively by many of the settlers with profitable results, In the deer country, the wolves are a menace to the deer, and the state is paying a liberal bounty for every wolf killed. “A fair idea of the vastness of this area, where big game abounds (which forms but a small part of Minnesota’s park region), may be observed by noting that it is zreater than New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. “Comfortable hotels in hundreds door sports, will make you phy- sically and mentally, stronger, purer nd nobler. of picturesque nooks, upon lakes teeming with bass and pike, in nearly all parts of the state, and accessible to well equipped lines of railway, bid the traveler welcome, while deeper in the wilderness, by rushing brook to which the trail of deer are well defined, you can find the cabin of the pioneer or hermit, hunter or trapper, and experience tells us that the “latch- string is always out” and a hearty welcome invariably greets the ears of the visitor. Itisa chance for you to lay aside your business cares, forget about your busy office in the congested city, or your stuffy school room and the busy hum of work, and spend a vacation in Minnesota, for a vacation here is one long to be remembered, and one that brings you health, rest and strength. From early in the summer until late in the fall the Grand Old State of Minnesota offers many charms to the summer tourists, and the volume of visitors from distant states, who come here each year to enjoy the natural pleasures of the state, grows | greater with each succeeding year, but so extensive are the state’s re- sources along this particular line, that it will continue to increase for years to come.” PRESBYTERIAN SUPPER AT THE RINK TONIGHT An Excellent Supper to be Served and Everything Will Taste Just Like ““Mother’s Cooking.” 7.

So many able instructors cannot but inspire confidence and make certain the success of the school. The subjects to be offered during the term will include all studies required for First and Second grade certificates, and it is believed that everyone can be accomodated. With the increased number of instructors, and the larger term, better and more thorough work will be m:ds possible than any time in the peste More individual asssisstance cn thus be rendered and more special help. Advice and instruction im particular cases can be offered, as'de from a thorough drill in all the elementary subjects as required. A review with such assistance as is state teachers’ examination. August 3rd, 4th and 5th, must aid materially in improving one’s scholarship and standing and thus result in obtain- ing a higher grade of certificate and more efficient work done in the school on taking up the work of the year. The summer school will be held in the high school building where stu- dents will have access to the school library and books, free, if returned in as good condition as received. During the six weeks’ term there will be many lectures and the course of study will be interspersed with ex- cursions on beautiful Lake Bemidji and tributaries, and there will be many gather ngs of a social nature which, with the very pleasant en- vironments, will make the school an ideal one. It is hoped that every teacher will take advantage of this excellent op® portunity for self-improvement, Moir-Burns Fight Tonight.
