Western Auto Travels

The l.. p Ranous family, early day
residents of Milbank also live some
ifteen miles from here Mrs. Ranous
leaves for Rochester, Mnn., for medi-
,al treatment this week. Mr. Ranous
accompanies her, and their son Lloyd
will have charge of the ranch while
they are absent.
Your correspondent and his party
greatly enjoyed the motor trip to this
place, having been vouchsafed fine
weather during all the six days on the
road-the more than thousand miles
by trail being made by easy stages
and camping before sunset each day.
The. trail is very carefully marked and
easily followed and there is little of
ones getting of the ,octe at any point
The read conditions were excellent,
considering the different country

&c np!nt'.ir region Particularly, an |
| there wee only q lew place. where
the conditions were really bad, and
these were places where road work
was under way.
One Of the interesting features of
the trip was the meeting with tha
other tourists when campcd for the
night. They were from all sections
Of the country, and We're bound for
all sections. Some were ont for :,
short trip like ourselves, others We're
