9 Rev. Herbert Case and wife and
daughter Esther returned Sunday
evening from FIVE weeks auto tour
of the Black Hills. They visited
their daughter, Mrs. Clifford A. VII
son at Hot Springs, who was former
ly teacher OF shorthand in the Man
kato Commercial college,. Also theiI
sons who are on the editorial force
of The Rapid City Daily Journal at
Rapid City. After some days spent
at various towns in the Black Hills
where MI. Case used to be the Metho-
dist Episcopal pastor they visited
wyoming. Going out over the Black
Sundance and the Devils Tower in
and Yellow Trail and coming back
lover the Custer Battle Field High
way through the Badlands, they re-
port this was the rainlest August
known to the old settlers in the
Black Hills so that many tourists
will not believe it is q dry climate
west Of the Missouri river. Most
Of the way the trails are grayeled, or
dragged and kept in excellent con 4
dition. There is a friendly spirit or
rivalry in the towns along the trails
to furnish every convenience at the
tourist park for the various tourists
who may pass through, Many even
furnish gas or fuel for them to
cook with. Several have plunges or
OF q the tourists. Some of these
plunges built with cement sides and
bottom make every Mankato tourist
wish that Mankato would build
Swimming pools likewise, not only
for tourists but for the use of her
own people, too. Travellers were in
luck when the price of gas was
lowered by Governor McMasters.
