Please mail me a copy of The
News containing a description of
the famous Santa Fe Trail"
+ This is a request received today
from a gentleman down in Hamil-
ton, Mississippi, in the far South
land. He wants to know about
this road.
Hamilton is a small country
town far from a railroad and up
in the country between the Tom
bigbee and Buttanatcie rivers, in
eastern Mississippi, but not too
far from civilization for news
about this road to reach it.
The New Santa Fe Trail is at
tracing attention all over the
country, because of the magnitud,
of the undertaking and the unani
nifty of effort Of the people along
its route in making fine high
way of it. This interstate high
way, now extending from Newton
and Wichita through Hutchinson
to Canon City, a distance of SOC
miles west from Hutchinson is a
roadway plan selected for tn,
right place on the map, else SC
much could not have been accom-:
pliShed in such a short space Of
ime.-HutchinsOn News.
Again we say The Trail is q
great advertisement for this sec
tiOn Of the world.
