STATE AID IS WANTED
TO BUILD NEEDED ROAD
The Road Would Be Of Great Benefit to
Farmers Living South Of
Bemidji.

There is a movement on foot
among mber of the resi-
dents of Hu bbard county, living
directly south of Bemidji, look
ing to the soliciting of aid from
the state for the making of a
good wagon road directly from
the village of Akeley to Bemidji.
AS conditions are now, there
is practically no road from the
south country by which the
farmers living in the vicinity of
Nary, Guthrie, Laporte and the
other smaller places south of
here can 60 back and forth from
their homes to Bemidji or AXE
ley. A good road should be pro-
vided for the use of these farm.
ers with an outlet to good
markets for their wood or farm
products, and also give them
excellent trading marts.
At present, there is but one
road that is worthy of the name
of a highway which can be used
for any distance into Hub bard
county south of Bemidji, and
that is from this city to Lake
George, not touching the villages
on the Nj. & L., to the east.
The route proposed by those
suggesting the road is a feasible
one, and the services of the rep.
resentatives in the legislature
from this and the Hubbard
county districts should be Sc
cured at once for the work of
assisting in procuring state aid
in building the road.
