NATIONAL HIGHWAYS.

There has been q great deal q
agitation In faror Of national high
ways. one proposition 10 discussed for
seven great roads out Of Washington
esfy--to be constructed with national
and state aid.
This part Of the northwest IL es-
peeisIly interested IN two propositions
--one for line from the twin cities
TO the cosst-another from winnipeg
70 the gulf-both through Fargo.
Either Of these would prove q great
benefit 70 the autoists and travellers
IN al kinds Of vehicles-as well as .
big inspiration to better highway con-
structfon everywhere
The east and west line Is proposed
from St. Patti and Minneapolis via St
Coud, Fergus Fails. wahpeton. Fargo.
Grand Forks. Devils Lake. MiDot and
On west Il would run through the
best agricultural region o. the north
west and aside from the benefits that
would naturally result from SITS con-
sfrnction 70 people along its route
eaaherners would make auto tonrs
across the continent. They would
ride through North Dakota for mere
than 500 miles from wahpeton 90
Buford and see the country at close
range.
The proposed line from Winnipeg
TO the Gulf Of Mexico would run for
hundreds Of miles through the most
fertile lection Of the United States
the famous Red river valley. The
line would include Grand Forks. Far
&c. Wshpeton and go south via South
Dakota. Nebraska. Kansas. Oklahoma
and Texas.
Tsxas Oklahoma, Kansas and Neb-
rasza have siready been holding
meetings 70 encourage such a prop
ssition. TIE Dakotans and Mani
toba should assist in boosting the
movement

cultural America between the Rockies
and the Mississippi.
With q little state, and possibly
later national. aid the road could be
made one Of the most famous in the
entire country. u would be popular
for tourists and Of great advantaee
to actual residents for hundreds Of
miles on either side Of the great high
way.
