is as follows.

On Monday, June 9th, Mr.. Agg,. as

Mississippi Scenic Highway associa-
ton. left WATERFOWL by automobile to
inspect the scenic highway between
Watertown ana Sterling and | joined
them at Albany. On arriving at Ster-
In, Mr.. Agg found no member of the
Il. x. V. r. awaiting him. By telephone
i. was arranged with R. c. Burchell,
treasurer of the X. +. V. R., that we
should cen e to Erie and that he, MIR
Burchell, would meet Mr. Agg with
his automobile and the proposed
change in that route would be gone
over. as A. N. johnson, state highway
engineer, already had made inspection
Of this route sometime in the past and
data was needed upon the proposed

Mr.. Agg started with Mr.. Burchell tt
make the inspection. However, unfor

M0T0RCYCLISTS UNITE
WITH NATIONAL BODY

Thirty members of the Tri-City Mo-
torcycle club met at Long View park
yesterday afternoon at o'clock. and
after a brief business session made a
tour of the three cities. Arrange
ments were made to affiliate with the
Federation of American Motorcyclists.
1t is probable that club rooms will be
secured before long. and If this is done,
Rock Island will be headquarters. A
number of runs to nearby cities will
be held during the season and visit
ing motorcyclists will be entertained.
One of the first events in which the
organization will officially take part
will be the visit here of the Chicago
Motorcycle club July IA, when a stop
will be made on the way to attend the
national meeting at Denver.
