Z A MUCH NEEDED HIGHWAY 1
< One of the biggest things that could
be promoted for Ramsey County, Dev-
ills Lake, and for all the farms. and
towns along the way would be a
straight rroad to run from the Lake to
EStarkWeather, thence straight on north
to the Canadian boundry. ',',l. ::
To promote this highway a1petition
is out, for the purpose Of forming an
Association as authorized by the last
session of the Legislature, which shall
devote it energies demonstrating and
maintaining this road, and giving it
a name. r 49,. gs-a,s H. (
!. The Wonderland Trail will provide
Ramsey County with, what will be ev->
entually splendid, highway running
east and west thru the county and:
bringing all Remseye County. people
in direct connection with the resi-
dents of counties east and west Of
us. ~ -. - ";
This new north line to the Canad-
ian boundary would tapsa wonderfully
large and fertile territory, and bring
into: closer touch, The. residents Of
the south end of Ramsey county with
the residents .sof- the North and east
ern ends and also with Cavalier coun-
ty people. .,' /
3 The idea is to designate this road;
D., as a. main artery, give it a name, and
continually improve it.. Put UP oe--
curate sign boards, and urge people
to use it, for this. I
1t is suggested that a prize of sly
be given for the best name suggested
for this road prior to Oct. list.

Langdon is only about 65 miles from
+ Devils Lake and is the county seat
of one of the greatest counties in the
state Of North Dakota. Yet we sell
dom hear of Langdon or Langdon OF
us. Dresden and Wales are likewise
Z only Is miles away. but we have no
intercourse with these towns. Yet
we are continually going back and
forth between Cando (42 *miles), Bis
bee ESQ miles,, Rolla GO, miles,, Rol
cite (s3 miles) and even Dunseith
= 600 miles.)
Why don't we do business in thai
part of Cavalier county: which is north
s west cftus? Simply because there i:
no good connection to this country

Starkwea.her could be improved, grad
ed Up and Strengthened, and PARTIAL.
Y travelled for about $4,000, which
would be s2GO per mile. a. !. ''. - ~
Under the new law, the county com
missioners have authority to aid IL
such designated highways with coun
.=. ty aid. Such road would serve farm
ers and buriness men alike.
Eventually the road would contlnu
north-straight as the arrow flies

and gravelled highway running for oN
