Minnesota. Roads In Good Con-
dition. No Tire Trouble.
The Record man, accompanied by
Mrs. Streeter and those two high
lived young ladies', Misses Beverley
and Berhl, returned Saturday even
ing from three weeks vacation trip
by auto that included northern Mimi
esota and the Twin Cities. The trip
was a pleasant affair indeed; road
conditions were good, and not even a
single puncture or blowout marred
the trip. Miss Genevieve Braddock,
Of Minneapolis, accompanied US on
the return trip as far as Braddock,
where she will visit friends for some
time.
We left Braddock on Sunday even
ing July 18th, Immediately after the
Linton -Braddock' game. jamestown
was reached that night. The next
morning muddy roads were encoun-
tered to Valley City, but the days
trip was highly successful, Little
Falls, MINI. being reached by sun
down. The next day Tuesday, found
US at Pine City, Mimi, where H. N.
Turner, formerly of Linton, is con-
Quoting modern, up-to-the-minute-
movie house. 1t is about a $4,000
investment, and he is doing very well.
The two families then went a short
distance north of Pine City to occupy
a summer cottage on Cross Lake be-
longing to j. Adam Bede, who once
'lectured in Linton on a chautauqua
program. Cross Lake is about six
miles long, and is only one of the
many fine lakes in that part of Mime
sofa. Our cottage stood on the shore
Of the lake, and a fine, sandy swim
ming beach was only few steps
away. Children could wade out a
hundred feet from shore, and this
proved most interesting to the two
little ladies'. They ''went swimming"
two or three times daily. We had
access to a motor boat, and made FREE.
quent excursions on the lake. Fish
ing is generally excellent there, and
many were the tales that Mr.. Turner
told us of the pleasure he had in store
in that respect. Several attempts
indicated that the fish were wise to
US, and that part of the trip was
rather failure. Little Miss Bever-
ley, aged seven, managed to hook one
small fish, but her dad couldn't con-
meet at all. The weather was most
ideal, and it only rained once during
the two weeks.
That part of Minnesota where we
visited is great potato country, but
this years prospects are very poor.
Local people claimed this to be one
Of the worst seasons Of their history.
The people there are generally we'll
to-do, and money is more plentiful!
than here. But they will be some
what pinched this fall.
Cross Lake is an ideal location for
an outing. Cottages are not too
thick there to be comfortable. but the
lake is nevertheless deservedly popu-
lar. Several Twin. City business men
have summer homes there. Lieut..
Gov. L. L. Collins, Of Minnesota, was
having cottage constructed while
we were there. Rent is only ten
dollars per week for the finest kind
Of cottages. Mosquitoes seem to be
unknown. M
On Monday, August 1st, we left.
Cross Lake for a visit to the Twin.
Cities. In Minneapolis we met Arth-
ur Heinrich, who was reporting to the.
military training camp at Fort SHELL
ing, and we took him out to report 4
Two days were spent visiting the
Braddock and Grain families and 9th
er Minneapolis friends. Wednes-
day morning we left for Fargo, and
reached there about 2 p. M, Miss
Genevieve Braddock accompanying
US Thursday afternoon we drove to.
jamestown spending Friday and Sat-
urday there attending the annual
meeting of the North Dakota Press
Association. The final leg Of the
journey was completed Saturday even,
ing, all members Of the family some-
what tired but happy. @
Last year we made much the same.
trip with similar success. On neither
journey have we ever had occasion to
even change tire on the car. "A
very satisfactory record.
