Galveston Tstors Speak In Hiah
Terms Of Accommodation Here.
Baskets, babies and bright eyed
children feature one or the family
gatherings OF tourists at Highland
Park tourist camp site.
John Williamson, longshoreman
from Galveston, Tex, according to
his story to a Free Press represen-
tative yesterday got the idea at the
close of school this spring, that
about the healthiest outing he could
give his wife and seven children
would be to take REQ Speed wagon,
load on camp equipment and 60
north for the summer. Mr.. VIII
hanson explained that in order to
help defray part of the expenses of
learned in his early boyhood back in
the highlands of Scotland. That was
basket weaving. That Mr.. William
son is an expert at the art of basket
making was evidenced by the dis
play of fancy baskets setting in
front OF mis- work tent. Some of the
material worked into these baskets
Mr.. Williamson explained comes
from China and others from India.
"Mankato surely knows how to
treat strangers" said Mr.. Williams.
Highland Park camping site is the
best between Mankato and Calves
ton, Texas and the people Of Man
kato are the most hospitable. l had
intended to leave here last week,
but you see there was an increase in
the family of my married daughter,
Mrs. Mcpherson, who gave birth to
a bouncing baby boy few days ago
The lad gives every evidence of
some day becoming q brawny Scotch
American, and may some day take
to the sea with his grand dad. We
intend to leave here for Texas next
Monday and will live in the open un :
til we reach home"

Anyone who contemplates an auto
into Wisconsin and is going by way
OF Winona and La Crosse, should
cross the Mississippi river at Wi
roma, drive to Galesville and from
thence on to La Crosse travel over
forty miles of paved highway. That
is what makes auto riding a real
JOY. The ride from Winona west
to Mankato is pleasing. Southern
minnesota is beautiful country
and there is no evidence anywhere
OF depressed downtrocden aeon..
The farms are a delight to the eye
Some of the villages could be
frightened up by the use of paint
and brush.
