Wood county is fortunate TO be
touched by this national highway and
i'll will seem rather b ard Tor Grand
Rapids to be 9eft Off this Trail. but
they have been warned, as for in
stance, in July 1914, I published g.
letter from 7. L. Kennan OF Mil.
waukee, also my answer calling at
tention to the Central Wisconsin Riy
er route through Grand Rapids and
Marshfield- The Milwaukee Sentinel {
November 81, 1914 speaks about the
Waupaca' Stevens Point route. The
Marshfield News of October. %, 1914
also speaks about this upper route.
The Madison Democrat of May 4.
1Sl5 has got a splendid letter on
Main Roads written by Anna M. vi
las in which she calls abtendina to
tnis route proposed by me and pub
hshed last year, mainly the beautiful
scenery along the Wisconsin River.
Other counties are and have been
organizing Good RoaC Cllbs for
sometime past. The Evening Wiscor
s.n of May 18th tells us about the or
ganizing of good roads ass ociation
for Sawyer county, with headquarters
at Hayward, Wisconsin. This or
ganization proposes to Wrko in coop
GRAFTON with the different town
boards and county boSpdus of supervis
ors in the interests OF Goood Roads.
With a Good Roads Association for
Wood County, nothing in the way of
Main Roads through the State or ma
tional highways would escape the no
tice of a Good Roads Association and
the important places OF Wood county
would then have been properly taken
care of.

WHAT'S GRAND
GOING To DO
ABOUT IT?
M. & M. A. Will Send DeIegatioa
to yellowstone Trail" Con-
ference.

According to story in the Milwau-
kee Free Press, there win be a state
conference held at Marshfield next
Tuesday May 20, at which time o. T.
Peterson of Hettnger,, IN. D. will
bring up the matter of the yellow
stone Trail public highway which
will extend from Boston to Seattle,
via Chicago.
According to plans already made
this highway will run east from Min
neapois thru Hudson, Eau Claire,
Chippewa Falls, Marshfeld,, Waupaca
Stevens Point, Wausau, Neenah. Osh-
kosh, Fond du Laos Milwaukee, Ra-
cine and Kenosha to Chicago.
1t will be noted from the fore
going route that Grand Rapids is
left by the wayside. Wood county
has already provided 100000 for
state aid highways and has under
construction a trunk line between
Marshfield and Grand Rapids via
PittsVille.
The Merchants & Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION has already started action
in the matter and is trying to get
in touch with Mr.. Peterson and viii
have a delegation from this city at
Marshfield.
With the intercity trunk line al
ready under construction and the ma
tural beauty of the vicinity of Grand
Rapids as arguments, the delegates
from this city should have little trou-
BILE in convincing the men at the
head of the TRIAL" movement that
it is imperative that the Trail
pass thru Grand Rapids
By leaving out Grand Rapids, the
Trail would not pass thru the most
beautiful part of the state, for
no where in the state or northwest
is there more beautiful scenery than
right in the corporate limits OF
Grand Rapids. The citizens Of this
city should make vigorous attempt
to divert the Trail thru this city.
There are two reasons at least why
it should be done One is that the
Trail should include the beautiful
scenery here as a matter of senti-
ment and the other is the business
side, for with road reaching a
cross the continent, there will be
great deal OF travel on it and every
city and town on it will come in for
some business. y
The road which was started in 1912
and on which upward of 100000
has already been spent, has been
completed from Minneapolis to Seat
tie. The proposal now is to push it
thru Wisconsin to Chicago, and
thence to Boston.

tional church Wednesday afternoon
very pleasantly and a profitable time
is reported.
Frank PaImatier former mayor OF
Grand Rapids now OF Bedford, Mich,
arrived in the city last evening for
visit with relatives and old time
friends.
Patrick MulrOy, formerly proprie-
tor of the Commercial House Of this
city, and now living in Milwaukee,
has written one of his friends here
saying that Milwaukee is a pretty
good sized town but he is getting on
% the trails in fine style He also
said that he is grieYed to hear OF
the passing away of so many of his
old friends. We are assured by Mr.
Mulroy's friends here that he does
not miss them any more than they
miss him.

GIRLS GLEE CLUB
CONCERT fine
EVERYBODY CONNECTED WITH 1T
RECEIVED MANY COMPLIMENTS

A small appreciatiye audience lis
tened last evening to the concert Civ
en- at the High school by the Girls
Glee Club. The program consi sted OF
two parts, either of which was worth
| many times the price of admission.
The first number, Nelson's Away to
the Fields, was given in very
pleasing manner. The violin num-
Der, Greg's An den Fruhling, showed
his unusual musical ability. The
quartet composed of Ernest Smith,
Ruth Fontaine, Verna WEIGH and
George B. Gibson gave Nevin S
Good Night, Good Night, Beloved.
1t was well interpreted and their
voices blended nicely. Miss Hayward
pleased her listeners very much with
her two selections, A Song of Singing
and If l Could Make a World for
You. Edna McSwain, the accompan-
list for the cantata displayed her tech
meal ability as a piano soloist as
well as an accompanies in her nendi-
ton of Welmund's Nocturne Opera
SO. Cadman's Ny Lovely Rose, sung
by George B. Gibson displayed to
advantage the quality of his voice.
The double quartet, Verna WEIGH,
Ruth Fontaine, Dolores Ward, Ber-
nice Gill, Delma Padgham,, Lucy
Gazely,, Gladys Natwick and Ma
rion Phlleo singing iNevin's Well
known Rosary and his Southern Lula
priately closed the first part of the
program.
The cantata, King Rene's Daugh-
ter, by Henry Smart was exception
ally well given. The girls gave the
entire cantata without reference to
words or notes The soloists, Ber-
nice Gill, Isabel Werle,, Gladys Nat
wick, Verna Welch, Marion Philleo,'
and Margaret Raglan sang very well,
which is saying great dead as
much of the success of the cantata
depended upon these girls. The au-
dience was greatly pleased to have
an opportunity TO listen to Miss Mac
Beth who sang the solo part in con-
nection with the trio. Miss Macbeth
has an especially pleasing sympathe-
tic voice and her distinct enunciation
helped to make this one of the most
pleasing numbers.
Grand Rapids can congratulate her
self upon the musical talent in the
high school. This cantata is consid-
cred very difficult and has seldom
sen given successfully by high
school. All the members of the
chorus are deserving of the highest
praise. The rnedition of this can
tata reflects much credit upon. the
directoH Miss Macbeth.
