Cranes Own the Islands.

In Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, there is a picturesque Island which takes Its name from tbe fact that It la uninhabited by man and given over to the cranes. Generations back these birds decided upon this spot for a summer resort. As time went on and the surrounding islands populated no man had the heart to disturb them, until now Crane Island is pointed out from passing Inuits ns one of the curiosities of the Northwest.
