them on marrow roads On hillsides
where here were gullys on one side
of the road. Several steep and long
hills were encountered and climbed
without trouble, one was fully q half
mile in length aud in coming down
this hill on the return it was neces-
sary to use both brakes. At one
point where q new bridge was being
put in, it was necessary to run with
highest speed possible through 9
stream Of water about ten feet wide
and six inches deep and then climb
the bank with the combined assist

The entire trip was enjoyed as an
outing and it also affords one an op-
tportunity of realizing more of the
grandeur and value, Of the prosper
ous state OF Minnesota and how well
adapted it is to various voeations of
life. All long the way and II nearly
every town improvements of some
character are being made. Very
few poor farm buildings were seen,
but many new, neat, attractive and
modern farm houses, were noticed
which demonst strates that the state
is continually growing richer. The
most Of the towns have nice, clean,
broad streets, electric lights, water
work., and telephones. At Mountain
Lake the roads were being success,

drew quite a circle around i. This
was due to our condition. The ma.
chine having considerab BILE luggage
fastened about il and together with
ourselves was almost completely
covered with mud, naturally aroused
some curiosity among those inter
ested in such travelling. Eleven
gallons Of gasoline was consumed in
the trip from Warrington 70 St.
Paul and about fifty during the en-
tire trip. The trip from Worthing-
ton to st. Paul can be made in about
fifteen hours or less il one knows
the road and the roads are good. We
believe no more pleasant trip for an
outing could be taken from, this
section Of the state. &; n ). Il !,
