smoke of burning brush heaps, the
fragrance of dew-covered honeysuck-

another new burst of life and energy

Challenging each to each;
This from her mountains side,

They traffic up and down,
But they cling to the city's hem,

Dazed and newly alone,
When they walk in stranger lands,
By roaring streets unknown,
Blessing her where she stands,
For strength above her own.

There should be just one main
travelled road between every
town and that should be a good
one. There has been lot of
money spent on road work but
the results are not seen as the
work has been so scattered.
Burleigh county owns one road
grader with a 40 horsepower trac'
tor engine and it is now adver-
tising for three more. In that
county one good road will be
fixed up between each town and
Bismarck.
In Ward county the same thing
is being done. The Mimot people
insist upon a good road from
Minot to Bismarck and when the
road work is done in this county
the Minct travellers can come this
way and reach Bismarck without
enquiring about roads every few
miles.
Every county needs few per-
manent roads where it is against
the law to- pillow over them or
fence-in a corner. When this
is stopped then this county can
boast of good roads and not be-

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS BE-
FORE co. COMMISSIONERS

A meeting was held at Wilton
last week to talk over road inn
provements. People from Wash
burn, Walton and Nettle Greek,
about sixty in all, attended and
made their choice OF the three
routes. They agreed on the riv-
er road and want it to be made
on the county line between Nc
Lean and Burleigh counties
from the Fairman farm to Viii
ton. They selected three people
to- represent them at the meeting
of the board of county commits
sioners. They were Messrs Jahr,
Danielson and Pitzer, who were
here Tuesday when the board
was in session.
The road from Washburm to
the Fairman farm needs very
little improving. It follows the
river and is a road OH which can
be seen the best scenery in this
vicinity. From Wilton to the
Fairman farm considerable work
will have to be done but the
lnDneV. spent will be in perma-
nent improvements and then the
Wilton people will always have
a good road to their nearest lake,
Painted Woods Lake: This road
is satisfactory to both towns.
When the road work is COM
pleted and sign boards are put
up, travellers will have no more
