the country this season has eclipsed
anything ever heard of or expected in
this region. Even the gypsies who al
ways travelled from place to place in
gafly colored wagons to lure the girls
to have fortunes told are now equip
ped with power cars, some of them in
trains, painted in all the colorful Of
the rainbow itself. Automobile travel
has increased 500 per cent, and long
trips have been accomplished with
an upkeep cost that has astonished
the drivers themselves. The fore part
or this week woman was seen driv-
ing a woman passenger through Mall
VOC. The passenger was the drivers
own mother and the pair were making
q trip from Minneapolis to st. Louis
and return. It was only last week
that a car came to Nauvoo and rolled
along Lake Keokuk to go to the dam
city after it had covered distance
from Los, Angeles, Calf, and stopped
at numerous towns, and they never
forget Nauvoo. OF course the good
roads laws in some states have help
ed out this scheme of travel and
brought out good results. 1t is now
claimed that the road enthusiasts will
cause to be built, highway that will

through Nauvoo.
The sweltering weather we have
been having in Nauvoo would serve

would do more and more to make it
attractive. It also would be of untold
benefit in sanitary point of view.
