over these tours, which for picturesque
scenery, good roads and generally de-
lightful automobiling are certainly I'M
surpassed.
The Journals original "Seeing

it's kind in the northwest-was I'M
equal to the demands made upon it.
The big car was always "booked up''
weeks ahead and because of this con-
gestion Of traffic many visitors to Min
neapolis were unable to take the tour.
Early in 1905 the Journal tour de-
partment made arrangements with the
Twin City Motor Livery company for
more comfortable and more compre-
hensive tours in modern touring cars.

An evening trip around the lakes is
the latest in Journal tours.
Intelligently planned and carefully
conducted tours of the open-air show
places are now an essential in the
complex scheme Of every big city. This
fact is being demonstrated all over this
and foreign countries by various NUM-
cipal and private transportation COM
panies and has been brought to the at
tention of an expectant and apprecia-
tive local public, during the last season
and this, by The Minneapolis Journal
From the first inception of the
scheme to give Minneapolis residents
and visitors convenient, comfortable
and inexpensive means Of touring the
city and it's environs the Minneapolis
journal automobile tours have been uni
versally popular. The public needed
just such a thing, The ournal

portunity.

during which it will be possible to

1t is q matter of common knowledge
among Minneapolitans that the heavily
wooded drives along the shores of the
Minneapolis lakes are the coolest and
most refreshing in all the city. Every
one who entertains visitors invariably
chooses this drive if opportunity per,

breezes well within the city's borders,
perfect roadways and rich scenic sur

divides his home from the great I'M
known Minnetonka woods, he failed to
notice the approach Of the Sunday
train. With quick instinct he caught
on to the meaning of cowcatcher as
last straw Of escape, but as a cow
catcher is not meant for dog catcher,
and poor Dicky slid under the engine.
Horrifed bystanders saw him not, but
heard his agonized bowls from under
the engine, after a few minutes Of sus-
pense they saw him emerge from under
the rear of the baggage car, terribly
cut, burnt by the hot Goals, blistered,
singed, bleeding and mighty sad look

Thus it happens that poor Dicky

There has been the same old talk
about the lack Of accommodations at
the popular Lake Minnetonka summer
resort. For the tourists and summer
residents, looking for more than tenn
pora1F quarters there are many to be
had. Of course, the best cottages and
apartments have been rented, but there
is hardly place around the lake where
some convenient and attractive sum
mer home could not be found. The up
per lake resorts have plenty Of good
places; at Excelsior there are rooms
galore to be had, and several pretty
cottages are still vacant. At Wayzata
equally good accommodations may be
found, and those who will take it upon
themselves to look for a summer home
whether large or small, will find that
the tale Of everything rented" is
much exaggerated.
