Leland is a fine place of summer resort, the scenery be- ing beautiful and diversified, the atmosphere pure and healthful, and the fishing not to be excelled. A first-class hotel is needed. The population of the village is 434. It con- tains three churches-Catholic, Lutheran and Congregational-two saw mills and a blast furnace, the iron ore for which is brought across the lake from Escanaba.
