lake, then on Rainy river, to the distributing fort where the 

 trading commodities were relayed on to the different posts on 

 the extreme frontier by smaller parties, who returned in the 

 spring with the fur. 



The "Pork Eaters" or "Goers and Comers'' packed the fur 

 into convenient bales and started eastward to Montreal, to 

 remain there until another spring should send them back 

 again. 



SUMMER is almost here. Do you know where you are go- 

 ing to spend your vacation? It is not necessary to spend 

 a great deal of money in order to take advantage of a 

 few weeks in the woods. Nor is there any other state able 

 offer greater attractions to the lover of nature than ours. 

 Minnesota might be divided into eight distinct recreation 

 listricts. In the May issue of the North Woods, an attempt 

 be made to list the summer resorts, and comment on 

 lese districts. The association will also be glad to furnish 

 information available to assist members in planning their 

 vacation trips. 



A classification of the districts, beginning at the northeast 

 >int of Minnesota on the north shore of Lake Superior, is as 

 llows: 



Pigeon River Country; 

 Vermillion Lake; 

 The Boundary Waters; 

 Itasca County; 



Cass Lake and Leech Lake District; 

 Lake Park Region; 

 Man Trap Lakes Region; 

 Mille Lac District.
