SAND DUNES.
| heart of Western Sahara Is To Be
Reached BY Gravel Road

The heart of Indianas sand dunes
is to be pierced by a gravel road. An
old trail thirteen miles in length that
once linked Miller and Chesterton
was last used by the Detroit Chicago
stage coach line fifty years ago.
The route will become the roadbed of
modern highway and before a year
has passed automobiles will speed
over the stretch the post horses once
used.
Since the last stage went over the
trail, during the civil War, very few
vehicles have travelled over it. The
trail has almost been forgotten, even
by the old settlers. for the route leads
, through Indiana most lonesome ter
rltorT. In the forty square miles be-
tween Miller and Chesterton there are
less than a dozen farms. Yet several
hundred people find their living in
the dune country. They fish, ship
sand, and pick berries, but most Of
them make their living by trapping,
for here is one place in this part of
the country where the smaller fur
bearing animals abound.
To the north of the dune country
lies the lake, a stretch of three or
four miles of land and the meander-
ing Grand Calumet river. the south
bank Of which marks the beginning
of the black soil country which ex-
! tends southwark to the Ohio. 1t is
the strip between the lake and the
river that is almost primitive in its
character.
Part of 1t is densely wooded Then
come almost impenetrable marshes,
the shores of some having sand bluffs
200 and 500 feet high. Nearer to the
lake are the sand dunes. Ne road
viii ever pierce them because of their
nature. Travellers have declared tho
sand plateaus to be the nearest
American replica of the Sahara. On

morrow it may be small mountain.
