"SEE MINNESOTA FIRST

The "See Minnesota first
party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Somsen, and son, Heine,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Arbes, and
daugher, Mae, and Waller Miller
returned last Saturday night
from an extended auto tour thru
the state. This expedition was
engineered to disprove the fall
acy that all good things are in
California, took in some of the
finest scenic sections of the Mimi
esota lake region. Starting two
weeks ago in Mr.. Somsen's Cad
lilac they went to Green lake by
way of Hutchinson and Litchfield
the first afternoon, meeting good
roads all the way. At Green Lake
a stop Of four days was made
at the beautiful Interlachen Sum
mer Resort. Continuing the trip
to Glenwood the car had to navi-
gate through some heavy mud,
as the roads were not very well
graveled. A stop was made at
Glenwood over night, and the
next morning the fish hatcheries
were inspected by the party.
The next main stop was made
at Alexandria at the Lake Sum-,
mer resort. The party made
several fishing trips to the near
by lakes, with more or less sue
cess. At James lake a good
string of bass allowed them
selves to be enticed by the skill
of Mr.. Somsen. From Alexan-
dria the party went to Walker,
which is one Of the famous next
to nature" spots of Minnesota,
while Walter Miller drove the
car to st. Cloud where he was
rejoined by the other members
of the expedition. The return
trip as well as the going trip
was made without a single mis-
hap. About nine hundred miles
of Minnesota roads were covered
at the cost of a single puncture.

A WORD FOR GORDON

Sam Y. Goron's Interlake Tri-
bune was 80 years old last week.
1t is the same old reliable blan-
ket folio with it's gorgeous head
that it was when Sam started
it thirty years ago.
For 80 years, three decades,
the sturdy Scotchman of the
clan of Gordon has presided ov-
er its destinies. Were he to
write a recapitulation of his ex-
periences, reverses, discourage
ments and success in starting a
newspaper on the extreme from
tier and hanging on during the
lean years and by pure pluck
and persistency making it fin
ally, not only a financial success,
but also a power; not only in the
locality where it is published,
but all over the state, it would
read like a romance.
Sam has two boys who are
running a paper successfully in
Montana, but they will never
make the newspaper men that
he is. They have had it too easy;
they have never received the
stern practical knowledge in the
college of adversely from which
their Dad graduated.
And in all the 80 years no one
has ever discovered what the
"Y." stands for.-Sauk Center
Herald.
