their own convictions, based on

there is insufficient evidence against

Mrs. Holland Is charged with pos.

Her husband already Is atoning
for the offense of still operation-he
has been sent to Folsom prison, af-

wife pleaded guilty, too. She did so
in the belief and expectation that
she would be given probation. In.

Wind Gains Down

It Ii now Friday afternoon. we
are far out over the Atlantic since
the wind calned down. The gray
ish blue OF the ocean Is the same to
the horizon, not even white
flecked wave, not q ship to wave
to. 1t Is very still, we can hardly
hear the motors, only q low even
sound like the purring Of cat, and
little noise when the wireless ma.
chine Is running. We visit one an.
the illusion that we are not NOV
ing at all, yet our speed is lis to
118 kilometers an hour. We keep
low, sometimes just skimming be-
meath the lower surface Of the
clouds, sometimes beside them. All
Vat once Count Montgelas comes out
OF his room and says there's q ship,
so we precipitate ourselves to the
drawing room. where We can see
to both sides.
Far away we see the steamer.
What are people on board thinking OF
lls, we wonder. And 50 the monotony
OF the sea ii broken, but the very
mOnotOny OF the hours Is beautiful.
Look ait the surface without limit, the
ocean which humanity began only
a few years ago to travel. yet already
memorable with stirring tragedies,
and we are floating, gliding calmly
in ideal purity. Our way Is imcom-
parable to any other. Some decide
to have game of cards, others write
mail to be thrown down on Santa
Maria island later. Tea is served as
usual. We hear that land is In sight.
We rush to the control room on the
upper deck of the ship to see. The
sun, setting directly in our course,
blinds us. DR., Eckener gives me q
pair OF green colored glasses and /
see Island San Miguel far away.
The excitement Is great. We have
not gone over land since leaving
France.

Ramsey Park Board Purchases Ne1U
Land; Recommends Wider Roadluay

Making a tour of inspection last
week, the Ramsey State Park Board
recommended the widening of all
roads and painting all buildings and
fences. Bids for painting, material
and labor were received last Friday
night in which Wickman and Bobzin
were awarded the contract. The paint
ing will start Immediately.
An appropriation of $2,500.00 not
including the regular maintenance
fund of s4,100.O0 per year for the
next two years, has been received
from the State by the Park Board for
the purpose of purchasing new land
for the park. Included in the pur-
chase is the Hanson tract which in
cfudes all land south of the road
leading to the golf course also the
tract known as the Nell land includ-
ing the land on top of the bluffs on
the northwest side Of the park.
There will be a road built along the
top of the bluffs giving views to all
sections Of the park Attorney Geor-
ge A. Barnes is now preparing deeds
and abstracts covering the tracts
which have been surveyed by F. H..
Anthony.
During this period of reconstruc-
tion,' the Board has had the stove
which has been used by tourists near
the entrance of the park, moved to
the new addition, with hopes of elm
mating camping tourists near the en-
trance, but also providing ideal
grounds for camping in the heart of
the park. New fencing will also be
done throughout the park. The Board
hopes to be able to have electric lights
put in the park this summer.
Among other matters of import
ance brought up by the Park Board
at its meeting was that of speeding
in the Park. Speeding laws will be
rigidly enforced and the Board re-
spectfully asks the citizens of Red
wood Falls to lend all help possible
in this matter. The Board also asks
that the people of the City cooperate
and help keep all dogs out of the
park. --z------~.-z=----
