Auto Train To Traverse Length
of Winnepeg To Gulf Mer.
1dian Route.

Bookings, S. D.. Aug. 24.-The vic>
president of the Winnipeg to Gult
Highway association met at Brookfnes
n in spite Of the heavy rains, the at
tendance was most satisfactory. and an
interesting meeting was held.
PRESIDENT H. F. Brownell, Of this city.
called the meeting to order.
Practically every county crossing the
state through which this route passes
was represented. Reports from the vice
presidents show liberal amounts of
money raised for Ia work md. the
amount of new grade built and roads
repaired during the season was little
less han phenomenal. All along the
route interest is increasing and an
other l2 months will show the Win
nipeg to Golf route through South Da-
kota the best conditioned highway in
the northwest.
The association in selecting this
route have used rare judgment as ii
not only connect up the best towns In
the state. but nature has done much
for the route so that by comparison
with other routes that might have
been selected the amount of work and
improvement necessary are reduced to
a minimum.
The meeting voted to adopt the sub
stant1al signs now in position as a part
or the sign system and recommended
the use of a particular iron sign, which
was shown at the meeting, details OF
which can be had by addressing En-
glneer Solberg, or Secretary A. A. Har-
RS, OF Brookings, S. D. These signs
to be used where thought advisable in
localities where signs have not ALREADY
been erected.
Matters of general interest of the
route We're discussed at length. The
Importance of this route not onlv to
the towns through which 1T passes. hut
TO the rural residents adjacent as well,
was enlarged upon. 1t is predicted tina
the time is not far distant that COM
petition for the privilege of having the
offlclal route pass along certain farm
tracts will become so strong that in
cases where the present route was not
properly cared for that some nearby
n~eighhorhood realizing the immense
value, would improve their roads to In
duce slight changes in the officia route
from year to year.
h spirit of hearty cooperation
pervaded the meeting, enthusiasm
reaching its highest pitch On the sug-
gestlon or an auto excursion from
Sioux City to Big Stone lake.
1t was the opinion of all county rep
resentatives that a good delegation of
cars could be induced to join a tour Of
that Kind as the excursion advanced
~northward.
Saturday. August 81, is the day Sc
lected and all vice presidents were
urged and agreed to make a special
effort to secure good representation
from their locality.
Parties adjacent to the line who may
choose to do so, will be warmly well
coined. The schedule below will en-
able all to make their time calcula-
ions.
