returning from the annual outing.
the editors have seen and done many
things in the eight days. The trip was
planned for recreation and was all of that
and more. 1..
The Eastern Minnesota carried the
party to and from Duluth in most salts
factory way.
At Duluth the editors boarded the mag
nif1cents new steamer Huronic belonging
to the Northwest Transportation COM
pany, of Toronto, and operated by the
Northern Navigation company. All en-
joyed the steamer comforts and the de-
lightful ride around the north shore OF
| Lake Superior. There was short stop
at Port Arthur the second day out and
then began the southwark journey. Supe-
rior was in fine, entertaining mood and all
were happy.
Early on the third day, too early for
most of the editors, the boat went
through the locks at the Soo There was
time later in the morning to see other
boats being raised and lowered. How the
| inha bitants of the twin Soos get time
from watching the locks to watch Mr..
Clergue's enterprises and their own is
marvel.
| On the Beautiful St. Mary's.-
From sault Ste Marie the edit ors went
into the beautiful St. Mary's river. Their
| uoHNo
before the first five miles had been COW
cred. The drive about Mackinac necessi-
tated a repetition Of the vocabulary or
each member of the party. With the ex-
ception of a slight carriage accident all
was perfect. No one was injured.
Friday morning the Huronic reached
Sarnia and all left her with regret.
After lunching at Hotel Vendome the
editors were given a ride through the tun-
mel in the open cars Of the Grand Trunk
railway company Aft er a car ride around
Port Huron all went back to the attract
i've souvenir shops of Sarnia to wait for
the sailing of the steamship United En-
pire. She proved to be comfortable,
trustworthy.
Where Neptune Had His Fun.
The first night back ION Lake Huron was
somewhat rough. Within two hours the
editors had begun to absent themselves
from the saloon on one pretext or an
other. Almost every passenger was sea-
sick Those who came nearest escaping
were proud Of it and those who were the
sickest were proud of that. The betw!xt
and betweens had little to complain or,
so everybody was satisfied.
Returning to the 500, the party was
met by a committee from the Commercial
Club and the newspapers and driven about
the city.

to the Canadian steel works after dark
The editors and their near relatives
learned how to make steel rails, and sa1o
it was better than fireworks. On the ferry
back to the Michigan 500, Mr.. Rosevea1
explained the different processes. Rous.
