On the highways on May 20, which las

says the Helena Independent.
At a mass meeting of the peoule
Of the Flathead community ami the
county commissioners, this unique
plan was Matched out, according to
c. orge E. Metlen. secretary of the
state highway commission, who vas
present.
J. H. Nelson, a road supervisor in
the reservation country, evolved the
idea, and after giving it some pub
licity, induced the authorities to call
the mass meeting. Mr.. Nelson had
seen the plan tried out in the east
with splendid results, and believed
what was good for other communities
would work in Montana.
The Flathead County Motor asso-
citation, composed of several hundred
people, has thrown the weight of it's
influence into the movement, and to
make things interesting, has offered
a prize of a Good Roads Day" silver
cup, for the best strip of road built.
The entire community has been dis
tricted, and a crew composed of men

each district. The cup will go to the
district which shows the best piece of
