county. 1t was decided that the
vice presidents in each state with
competent engineer would &C
over the line in their respective
states, commencing Monday the
18th. and meet at OrtOnville for a
Joint meeting on Saturday the
32nd, when the proposed route
should be designated and the
method of marking or indicating
the road should be decided upon.
The name of the associa ion
which has control of this section
of the Yellow Stone Park Trail
between Granite Falls and Aber-
deen is the Minnesota South Da
kota yellow Stone Trail Auxilli
ary Association. 1t was found
that the road must be established
at an early date as under the
laws OF the state of Minnesota
the commissioners in connection
with the state road department
establish state highways about
the end Of March and it was
thought advisable to have the
road designated so that the coun.
ty commissioners in question
could take prompt action which
would insure work being done
upon the road this season. In
South Dakota, owing to the un
certainty of the law governing
road work for the coming season,
it was thought necessary to have
the road designated at the earliest
possible moment so that steps
could be taken by the super
ylsors in the townships through
which the road might run to do
as much work as possible on this
road this season. The road will
be part Of national highway and
naturally will bring great deal
OF travel over it. 1t was also de
clded that as far as practical that
the road would extend through
all Of the towns along the Chica
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Rail
way Company. This line of road
will give a good highway between
the important towns in the coun
ties through which the road
wonld extend. A vote of thanks
was extended to the Commercial !
Clubs OF Ortonyille and Big Stone
for their royal entertainment.
