East; Goshen is the car center for the
roads around Goshen are fine. Wa
wawasee Pake is the finest sheet of
water in Indiana and the Pns are
such splended big fellows that fish
chasers love to fish here. Vawter
Park hotel sets up a good meal for
the tired automobilist, price 50c daily
7 5c on Sunday and auto-fans and
fish bugs meet to eat and tell whop
pers about catches, losses, punctures
and r?rfect scores. Dr. Will McGar
vey is the "boss" of this hotel and
"Doc" certainly treats us fine when
we go there.
St; Joseph County's real good rid
ing is right here in town and in Mish-
awaka; there are attempts at good
roads in the country but the smooth

riding over any continuous stretch Is
on the pavements in the cities. Thre?
stretches of road out South Michi
gan, Edwardsburg Road and Port
ago Avenue have been Improved and
car folks can do much to cons?rve
theso roads by not riding In the ruts
though no signs to that effect are
posted.
'Misiiawaka has added another mile
east to her already splendid paving
equipment and the first which Is also
the most lasting impression of the
two cities is received by travelers
from the East who come over the
Second street and Vistula pavement
there is an eight mile strtteh of pave
ment through these cities which rests
and puts "p'P' into the arms of the
Motor tourist and it's now a joy to
meet the east and wesl approaches,

for cities are now Judged much moro
Intelligently by what autoists see
passing through them than by the
appearance of the station, which is
fortunate for South Pend, but that
is another story.
North and South Koads Had
North and South travelers are not
so lucky, the road to Xile.s is a fright
on the north side of the river and
while the Portage Avenue drive is
much improved by tho three mile
stretch of new gravel it is hardly
feasible for the tourist though a good
road. For a taste of New England
motoring go straight out Portage av.
altruist ten miles, find school house on
corner at left, go straight ahead
through a new looking road bearing
left toward Puchanan. This is a hilly
country and the views are Fupurb.
Parron LaJte is the blue gill center
for folks hereabouts and the blue
gillers now use motors to get there.
Reed, tho landlord of the Hotel, takes
splendid care of South Benders when
An At t motive Resort.
Miles Inn, twenty miles northeast
through Edwardsburg via Stevens
ville. is an attractive resort on Chris
tiana Lake. The Edwardsburg Road
is developing a rut fast on- its first
three miles but It's a good wavy road
from there on to that place, but
after you get to Edwardsburg it's the
real, old, back-country, article deep
heavy sand. A short distance east of
here you can turn north and go to
Eagle Iake or to Painter Lake. I
haven't tried the grub at these lakes
but have heard 'tis good. Leave Ed
wardsburg on the Cassopolis road and
go to Diamond Lake, drive around
the lake and if you have a stout car
and plenty of punch left in your arm
muscles head due south, jog west a
few times and follow the Christiana!

Creek through its windings and you
will cross some very picturesque
country. You can follow these roads
into Elkhart. This circuit is a big
half day's ride. A whole day can be
devoted to -it and enjoyed.
Go east on Jeffersor. boulevard past
Sunnyside; between three and four
miles the sand is deep, but not so
bad as it looks; keep straight on past
MIshawaka cemetery. This road
leads to county line bridge, which
cross, turn left at top of hill into
Elkhart roi.d; go on to Elkhart's main
down town district, go out north on
J the principal street, cross bridge, turn
left and ask for Kawardsnurg roau
v.'hich Is a few blocks west, a grocery
on northeast corner marks this turn.
This road is heavy near town but im
proves as you proceed north. It
lea.ds right into Edv.-ardsburg nine
miles from Elkhart. Mrs. Sherman
at the Sherman House In Edwards
burg Is very senial and will cook you
up a splendid dinner at a very' reason
able charge. You are twenty miles
out now and I presume hungry. The
trip home can be made via Niles
twenty-one miles or via Granger
fourteen miles; this makes your route
pass over the macadam roadway
which commences at Stover school
house five miles from South Bend.
Good livening Trip.
The Edgewater trip Is one taken by
some South Benders each evening.
The eating hero is tho beJt yet, as
Rose Hillman Is cook and the very
best things in the country are served
at this club. The roa.1 is closed for
one-half milo above Berrien Springs
so most cars go via Puchanan these
days. A trip into the Fruit Country
is a drastic change from South Bend
The writer was over there June 16th

The Premen, Nappanee. Milford
Goshen. Elkhart, MIshawaka circuit
is as fine a day's trip as anyone
would ask to take s( miles of pretty
fair average caing through delight
ful country. To make this trip go to
Mishawakiw. pass center, turn right
on Union Ft. pass Dodges' factory on
left, keep on south through Woodland
and Wyatt to Premen. Go east on
principal east and west thoroughfare
in Premen through Napane to Mil
ford Junction; from there, follow rail
way east to Syracuse forty-three
milef!, where you have choice of two
roads to Goshen. Hit the L. S. & M.
S. paralell road west of Goshen; It's
three miles shorter to South Pend if
you turn west at the eighteen mile
corner than if you go through Elk
hart. Take in Elkhart and come back
on the north side of tho river starting
out on Lexington av. This Is some
ride. If you include Elkhart you'll
have over ninety miles on your auto
meter. Indian Lake is a pretty ride north
of Niles about twenty-three miles
from South Pend. Go over the vir.
duct at Michigan Central Station In
Niles, keep to the left out past the
stand pipe; follow this road through
to Summerville, Mich. Here turn left,
cross the Dowagiac Creek and Jog
north again. Follow this road until
you reach the east and west trolley
line; pass trolley station; one-eighth
of a mile takes you to Wicst's Resort
on beautiful Indian Lake. If a fish
erman is smart he will take some
minnows along to Indian Iake. The
Leeper Park Water Works pumping
station has the right sort. If they
are biting at Indian Lake, you'll get
yours,
