This commission has definitely es-
tablished State Highway Number One,
from Sioux Falls to IroQuois. This
route was agreed upon and endorsed
by the people of the counties through
which the highway passes. The organ
izations which took the responsibility
of endorsing this highway were the
commercial clubs and automobile clubs
of the cities and towns along the route.
In the absence of disputes or rivalry
our commission gives due considera-
ton to the wishes so expressed. State
highways may traverse only one
ty as a connecting link with other
state highways, or may pass through
several counties as cross-state high
ways, of which we now have several.
Before these are officially established
they must be approved by the state
highway commission, and a certificate
of such approval must be filed with
the county auditor of each county.
These certificates were properly filed
in case of Highway Number One. In
establishing state highways the COM
mission favors the shortest practical
route possible, and we wish the CO.
operation of the public in the aim that

Since different state highways have
been created by different conventions
in various parts of the state, so also
have different systems of marking
been adopted. We do not intend to
change the emblem part of the mark
ings, such as yellow, black and yellow,
white and yellow, or all white. How
ever, we do feel that it is high time
that this commission adopt a set of
rules governing the position of the
markings at the intersections, turns,
or forks, of all the roads, so that the
traveller who understands one under
stands all the different markings in
the state. We do not approve Of
boards with arrow points painted on
them or signs fastened on posts or
fences. The experience with these in
other states has been very trouble
some. Smart Alexis would destroy
same by shooting them to pieces or
reverse them and send the traveller in
the wrong direction. We have but
one rule, and that is to paint the en-
blems adopted by any particular road
association on telegraph, telephone or
fence posts, where such posts exist.
Where nothing exists that can be
plainly marked with paint, then the
setting of posts with the upper part
painted with the sign adopted, is the
only solution. Your commission has
requested all highway associations in
the state to mark by painting.
On a straight trail where the driver
travels beyond the crossroads to con
tinue straight ahead, mark with two
posts each one hundred feet from the
corners on one side or the other and
parallel with the trail to be travelled.

/ Mason City, April 9.-While nothing
definite can be learned on account of
the reticence of those interested, it is
believed that an adjustment has been
made between the fifty or more bank
ers holding the accommodation notes
issued to William Colby and the Colby
Motor Company and the indorsers of
the notes Mrs. Mari walch and her
son William Walch. While no one
notes aggregate between $2SO.0o0 and
notes were secured by William Colby
while he was promoting and maintain
ing the Colby Motor Company bust
ness. Later, when an effort was made
looking toward collection. it was set
forth that Mrs. Walch was not mental
~ able to transact business and a son
was appointed administrator.
Now there is on file with the coun-
ty recorder blank mortgage given by
Mrs. Mari Walch and her son William
on 1850 acres Of Cerro Gordo real es-
tate, valued at $176.00o. The mortgage
is given to satisfy 50 per cent of the
value Of all notes given, the holder of
the notes to release all further claims.
{. H. McNlder, G. D. Ellis, John A.
6enniff. Isaac Swiegard and J. E. E.
Markley are the trustees. IN addition
to this land turned over as It is. the
holders of the notes have organized the
Standard Motor Company in place Of
the Colby Motor Company and expect
to realize something out Of this.

The study Of geography should begin

method Of beginning than by figuring
out on the map the tracing Of the ac-
tual road the children pass over COM
ing and going to the school from their

ing the best road maps Of any state

ties which will be finished in about
