WESTGARD WILL
VISIT this CITY
He HAS REACHED CHICAGO ON
HIS COAST TO COAST TOUR
AND IS EXPECTED TO CONE
HERE EARLY DURING COM
ING MONTH.

Fargo is IN the map so far as one
OF the routes that are being planned
Tor a coast to coast automobile road.
On Tuesday afternoon, June II, A.
u. Westgard, American Automobile
association field representative, left
New York in a pathfinder touring car
to lay out three new transcontinental
trips on he line Of the trail to sun
set" which he has already covered
three times. Mr.. Westgard made rapid
progress to Chicago, arriving on Mon
day afternoon, June IL.
On his way from New York, Mr.,
Westgard took notes Of the detours
necessary at present particularly
those due to new construction and re-
pair work in New York state. From
Chicago west he is taking complete
road notes to be issued in the form of
new strip maps covering that import
ant route in detail. After working
his way from Chicago to Milwaukee,
St Paul and Minneapolis, he is now
laying a route across, North Dakota
and Montana into Washington, ex-
pecting to reach Anaconda, Mont. in
time for the good roads convention
on July 8. From Anaconda he will
proceed to Seattle which will COM
plete the first leg of his long Jour
ney, and for the first time provide
complete notes from New York to
oedltlS py Lne most direct route.
The interest Ia this undertaking liz
best Indicated by the fact that from
the very beginning Mr.. Westgard has
been met by not only representatives
OF A. A. A. clubs. but also by rood
roads associations. representatives of
boards of trade and chambers OF COM
merce. etc. A great deal Of connpetf-
ton has arisen between different
points on the line for the honor OF
being included in these t~ransconti-
mental routes, which will be standard
lied and popularized within the next
year. To get a transcontinental route
through a city or town means addi-
tional business and prestige. En-
thusiasKn has run very high, and on
several occasions interested parties
have sent delegations to meet and
pilot Mr.. Westgard over important
routes.
