Prof. II. G. Solberg has been invited
and has accepted an invitation TO de-
liver an address at the meeting OF the
Chicago to Yellow Stone Highway As
ISOLATION to be held at Winona October
9Th. and 7th. At this meeting II is
expected that steps will be taken
TO secure recognition for the Black
and Yellow Trail as a national high
way from the American Highway AS
ISOLATION. The highway from the Twin
Cities through North Dakota to the
Glacier national park Is working hard
TO get this recognition instead OF the
Black and Yellow Trail, and II has
the backing of the Hills and the
Great Northern road. However, II has
few scenic advantages compared with
the highway through this section and
II is thought that the Black and Vel
low Trail will win out.
