again we'll demonstrated and equally
we'll appreciated.
WITH THE TRAVELLERS
Well, we're back, and glad to be here
Thank you, yes, we had splendid trip
enjoyed every bit of it, even the parts
that we growled about when we were
out there. No, we do not want to live
out there. Nothing like Minnesota in
all that we saw. By that we do not mean
that we did not see some very wonderful
country, but take it all, by and large,
there is no other state that stacks
up so high all around as our own. At
least so far as we saw on our trip. We
did not stop long enough in either
Oregon or Washington to be able to
pass judgement on them. What we did
see was very fine and we would not be
surprised to find that they are quite as
good places to live as Minnesota. But
the states to the south of us and Golden
California can not rival the North Star.
California is truly wonderful, and it's
people, are wonderful in their achieve
ments but there is so much dust and
dryness, rattlesnakes and desert and
heaped up mountain land that to us it
does not seem to average so high as does
Minnesota. We think it is beautiful
place to spend part of ones time,
especially if one has plenty of money,
but we think it is really easier to make
a living back here. 1t is country for
the rich man to invest in, not for the
poor farmer. 1t takes big capital to
get a start and often years of no profits
must be endured before one can make a
big strike.
New Ulm's summer vacationists who
have sought pleasure and recreation in
seeing America first" this summer have
all returned to their duties Of the coming
year. The western expositions were the
most appealing lure for American pleasure
seekers but tho the European scrap
deferred many, who havein past habit
ually introduced the American dollar to
the willing natives of the Old World
from following their accustomed route,
yet the western tourist exodus was
scarcely above normal.
DR.. and Mrs. Reineke and son,
Harold, returned from their western trip
last Sunday. The Reineke party took
what is known as the central route,
which led them through the wonderful
scenery of Colorado and Utah, through
Denver, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake
City, to San Francisco. Their stay at
the exposition was limited to week;
thence they left for short visit to the
oil fields at Taft and Bakersfield, more
Familiarity known as Fryburg because of
the high-fying temperature. Their story
of the oil business is told in another
column. Then they went down to Los
Angeles, the land Of perpetual summer,
where they spent several delightful days
visiting points Of interest, the beaches,
the missions, Santa Catalina Islands,
and the orange country. San Diego and
its miniature exposition came next, and
from there side trip into Mexico where
governments change with every edition
Of the daily papers. They returned by
the southern route, through the wonder
full Grand Canyon AM" scenic Colorado .
routes.
The Fritsche party, which consisted of
DIR. and Mrs. Fritsche, and daughter,
Elsa, and Miss Vera Stricken, left for the
coast on the Northern Pacific, made the
return trip by way Of the central route
and returned Sunday night, August Is.
On their way west, the party stopped at
Mandan, for visit with Max Pfaender,
formerly Of this city, who has charge of
the U. S. Experimental Station at chat
place. This is the governments chief
station where experiments are conducted
in dry farming. From Spokane side
trip was made into British Columbia for
q view of the beautiful mountain lake
country. While in Spokane, DR.. Fritsche
renewed acquaintance with Mr.. Rudolph
Kiesling, former New Ulm man, who
was at the time picking and packing
cherries for the market. Crossing the
Cascades the party came to Seattle,
where they visited with two Of Dr..
Fritsche's nephews, sons Of DR.. Stamm
of st. Paul. After an interesting sight
