Pike traverses twelve counties from
Berrien to Emmett, and / think it will
be admitted without controversy that
it runs through the most beautiful re-
sort region in the United States.
The West Michigan Pike is in part
the northern link of the great Dixie
Trail, from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Straits of Mackinaw beginning at
Miami, Florida. This particular
stretch of road is designed to be and
will one day become the most beauti-
full scenic route in the central states
and unequaled in its attractions by
any other highway in the country.
Skirting the eastern shore of Lake
Michigan it traverses country rich
in natural beauty.
The Pike is trunk line highway
constructed under the supervision of
the State Highway Commissioners by
the various counties through which it
passes. The writer is frank to admit
LIldI JllCIC 10 oOinC VI IhC iO0oS
in the state along this Pike.
1t is far from completion, however.
Frequently during the trip we would
pass immense steam rollers at work
and the various gangs Of wOrkmen
upon the road is evidence that there
is determined effort to complete the
Pike in the immediate future. The
farmers all along the way told us sit
will be better next year." The fact
that the Dixie Highway will use the
entire of the West Michigan Pike
north of Grand Rapids gives added
Importance to this great scenic road.
We wish our readers to mark the
work entire.
The completion of the main pike
will mean eventually the improvement
of all of the roads that radiate from
the main line, and in time the entire
western and northern part of the state
will be a network of roads that can
be travelled at all seasons of the year
by automobiles and motor convey
ances. Who can estimate the in
creased value of lands by reason of
the completion of the Good Roads
System of the state?
| believe that this annual tour of
'the West Michigan Pikers," as they
are called, increase interest in the
Good Roads movement and helps to
hasten the day when the people all
over the state will demand that the
roads be placed in a permanent con-
dition for all kinds of travel. This
is a great Good Roads age and time
will prove that road construction will
be greatly increased throughout the
state as result of the completion of
the Trunk Line roads reaching from
the southland

president will appoint a temporary
chairman in each county through
which the Dixie Highway runs. The
plan is simple and requires no great
sacrifice on the part of anyone con-
nected with the enterprise.
From South Bend the route will go
through Niles, Paw Paw, Dowagiac,
Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and thence
to Grand Haven where it strikes the
West Michigan Pike, and then on to
the Straits.
The time selected for the 1915 tour
was most fortunate. Cherries were
indeed ripe" The billowcd seas of
grain, thousands of acres of fruit, the
improved condition of farm buildings,
evidence of thrift on every side, in
creased activity in village and cities
together with the improvement being
made on the roads and especially the
increased sentiment for better roads
all conspired to make the trip me-
morable one. The weather was per-
feet and the constantly changing
scenery kept one in good humor, never
firing of the trip.
At Traverse City more than hun
dred automobiles came out to escort
the Pike tourists into their beautiful
city. 1t is estimated that 1000 at
tended the meeting in the evening in
front of the Park Place Hotel. The
Traverse City Good Roads Association
contributed much to the pleasure of
the trip. The meeting at Traverse
City was opened by singing "The
Dixie Highway" to the tune of Tip
perary.
"Whene'er l thought of travelling
In my little auto-car,
I'd always dread the country roads,
Though the distance wasn't far.
But now the Dixie Highways through
To Michilimackinac,
do not mind the trip at all,
| Not even coming back.
CHORUS.
It's a long way to Traverse City,
Dixie Highways the track,
It's long way to Traverse City
| And to Michilimackinac;
But the Pikers have been boosting
For improvements every year.
/ It's long, long way that we are trav-
cling
But the distance seems near.
Those roads we rode in days of yore
/ Were full Of ruts and dry;
We'd swallow dust, "In God We Trust
To get there by and by.
But now the Pike is in full sight,
To tour the state around,
1t always takes just such mistakes
Before the truth is found.
CHORUS.
For it's the wrong building Tempo
rar-y,
When the road will not last;
Oh! it's wrong building temporary
We have found that in the past.
Goodbye, good old has-beens,
We sometimes thought you fine,
But it's wrong, wrong buildings tenn.
po-rar-y!
State reward roads for mine."
Space will not permit a detailed
statement of the various stops made
nor am l able to give excerpts of the
addresses. Sufficient to say that those
who have been over the road annually
since the first tour, all are agreed that
the steady progress made in the i'm
provement of the Pike is most salts
factory and that the country itself is
being developed as the highway is de-
veloped, each keeping pace with the
other.

drivers entered in the 500-mile motor
derby race at the Desplaines speed
way tomorrow. The mechanics of
every car brought their work up to
the highest state of efficiency.
In Resta's pit the Peugeot powder
monkeys changed two tires in q sec
onds in one attempt and followed by
changing two more in "a seconds.
Every driver in the race proved
himself sportsman when the agree
ment to allow Limberg to start in his
Sunbeam was signed. A former rule
prevented the entry of more than
three cars of one make, but this has
been changed to five cars, provided
only three are entered by the manu-
facturer. But it was necessary that
the drivers agree to let Limberg try
for the prize.
This means that ~ drivers will face

Good night! The proposition is now
up again to match Packey Mcfarland

Why this conversation should be
inflicted on the public is hard to I'M
derstand. Packey doesn't want to
fight Gibbons very badly, but posi-
bly, he is preparing for another Vau-

yertising. Once before this fight was

merely standing on mound go feet
from the home plate and throwing a
baseball in the general direction of

two arms and average intelligence all
the time. He is supposed to field his
position when time hangs heavy on
his hands and now and then back up
an exposed base.
This bit of advice is being handed

badly, and until he takes it to heart
he will never set this National league
