nest cooperation OF every state
through which the highway passes Il
that the National Parks Transconti
mental highway is organized and in
co%rporated under the laws II the state
OF North Dakota, with Governor l.. T.

North Dakota Conception.
1t will be seen thai the National
Parks Transcontinental highway is
absolutely OF North Dakota concap
ton, born in North Dakota, raised
in North Dakota, and fathered by
North Dakota officers.
1t has a loca! vice president in al.
most every county from Boston, New
York to Seattle, Tacoma. Each OF
the governors OF the state through
which this highway passes is a pa
iron OF this Northern route with in,
tere.ts 90 conferred that the Red
Trail from cast TO west stands SIDE
by side with the Lincoln Highway,
the Old Trail, and others OF from ten
to 81 years standing.
The marvel then is this: That this
association has, within less than six
months, made possible a highway OF
national proportions. 1t has opened
for the tourists q northern route to
the three great national parks, na!Ge
ly, the Yellowstone, Glacier, and Ra,
nior. It skirts the great eastern lakes,
takes in the Dells of Wisconsin, the
lakes Of Minnesota, the bonanza
wheat fields OF North Dakota, noun
tain ranges Of Montana, Idaho and
Washington, thence connects vita the
Pacific Highway to the Panama Ex-
position.
Advertises States.
1t has advertised the states through
which it passes, and especially the
state OF North Dakota, by It's issue
Of 1900 pieces of literature and cor
r~espondsnce.
Yet another chapter. It took the
Lincoln Highway Il generation to
build q continental roadbed. The Vel
loWstone Trail spent two years and
has only a system from Minneapolis
to Terry, but the National Parks
Transcontinental Highway has had an
existence for less than six months
and now revels in a highway of $500
miles, with every bit Of the way
marked in red and white for the tray
elerS' safety.
The Commercial club of Fargo, N.
D., has published and distributed,
through their secretary, J. p. Hardy,
five thousand (5,000) guides, which
places the traveller on terra firma dur
ing the entire trip from coast to
coast.
Added to these aggressive efforts,
is the fact that the association is
raising from $4,000 to 100000 to
build q steel bridge On concrete piers
over the Little Missouri river at Me-
dora, the bids OF which will be open
ed on August %.
The cooperation and determine
tion OF these good road enthusiasts
and tourist traffic boosters from the
far west in doing so much with SO
little is among the live wire efforts Of
a live wire people. .r,
