were 245 teams employed and
AL men.
Besides these large under
takings, the county was alive
with the men working their
teams alone, men with shovels
and men. laboring in groups Of
three or four.
A careful accounting of the
entire labors of the county shows
526 teams and 1924 men on the
roads that day. And the work
was not even then done for, as
late as June "a, half miles were
being built by volunteer workers
to "show folks that they could
do as we'll as any other section
even without a prize"
Ran Into Thousands
The actual work accomplished,
if paid for by Anoka county at
the ordinary wages usually Of
tered for this kind OF work
would amount to thousands of
dollars. And she accomplished
this by offering to spend five
hundred dollars upon the three
prize winning sections! Has the
result been worthy of the eff
fort? The people of Anako coun-
ty are emphatic in their view
that it has and they are already
laying plans for three days of
work next year with prizes sew
eral times as large and far more
numerous.
Why not try it in your local
ity next year?

advertising which it has re-
ceived from it's labors will more
than repay the people for the
work which they did.
The second prize went to Nor
ris Lake where the farmers of
the towns Of Burns, Oak Grove
and St. Francis united to i'm
prove half a mile of road con-
Meeting two main highways. Be-
fore this work was undertaken
the road was practically impass-
ible on account of steep hills
and deep sand. With the prize
money expended in surfacing
the work done Good Roads Day,
it will be fully as good or bet
ter than the two roads which
it connects.
Third prize went to the vii
lage of Andover. At this point

teams and machinery for the

day.
On one road, sixteen miles in
length and extending across the
county between the city of Ano-
ka and the village of ST. Fran
els, every man was at work,
save three, and one of these was
i'll. On this road the men trav-
eled to the city limits of their
market town to begin their
work. The county had planned
to improve a mile Of road there
and the club having the volun-
teer work in charge at that
point, the Round Lake Farmers
Club, offered to do the grading
there if the county board would
take the money which would
otherwise have to be paid a con-
tractor for the purpose, and put
it into surfacing. Thus, with
out winning prize at all, this
club very cleverly made double
value for their days work on
their road.
But to relate in detail all that
was accomplished in Anoka
county on Good Roads Day
would take more space than can
be devoted to this article.
Eight Miles in Contest
Sixteen half miles were en-
tered in competition for the
prizes. Fourteen of them were
worked Good Roads Day and
the other two, together with
five which had not been entered
in the race on account Of lack
of available machinery, were
worked on preceding or subse-
quent days.
On the fourteen which were
worked Good Roads Day there

What Anoka County Did
for Itself Good Roads Day

best half mile of road. The i'm
provement might consist Of sur
facing, grubbing, turnpiking,
grading or, in fact, any sort of
improvement which the work
ers might decide upon. The
form of road work to which the
prizes were to be devoted and
the location of it was left en-
tirely to a vote of the workers
upon the winning half miles.
Under this plan the county
could not lose for it was bound
to get results from the expen-
diture of the prize money of the
volunteer work. By the same
token the people Of the county
who entered the contest could
not lose for they would get the
benefit of the work which they
did if they did not secure a
prize. If they gained a prize
they were that much better off.
The idea appealed at once to
every section of the county.
Three men of recognized ability
and prominence in the county
were selected as a committee to
decide upon the merits of the
work done. Ten days was al
lowed in which to select the
half mile in each section where
the people wished to work. The
district engineer examined these
localities prior to the work and
the entire committee looked
them over after the work had
been done.
Calling for Volunteers
The organization work was
undertaken Systematically. A
paper was circulated in each 10
cality setting forth the plan
and calling for volunteers. Each
man was asked to indicate
whether he would furnish men,
teams, equipment, money, etc.
Thus, upon the eve of good roads
day those in charge in each
place knew exactly what they
could count upon. There was
a scramble for town machinery
and tools. In some cases the
town boards divided the town
equipment and in other cases
the first ones to ask for it re-
ceived it all.
Those who were unable to
work contributed money and
hired substitutes. The money
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1915-07-28

was used to buy dynamite, etc.
Before daylight upon the
morning Of Good Roads Day men
were out working upon the high
ways. The cheerful ring of
axes and the sudden roar of ex-
ploding powder blowing stumps
from long neglected highways
Weakened the dilatory to rea-
lization that the people of Ano-
ka county were in the market
for better roads and that they
were willing to work for them.
Boys in This Army

team or to handle a shovel car

ers were still at it making bet
ter roads.
The last team and the last
man trudged YEARLY homeward
at ten o'clock that night. No
body knew much about the work
that had been done except in
his own locality. Few realized
the magnitude of Anoka coun-
tvs accomplishment. All that
was a matter of checking up
for the engineer and his COM
mittee upon the following day.
But each man knew that he had
put in the best days work of
his life, not for himself alone,
but for the benefit Of his neigh
bors and of his county.
During the next three days
the writer Of this article trav-
eled over every main road in the
county gathering data and ex-
amining the work done. 1t was
indeed a revelation Of what en-
ergy and enthusiasm can do
anywhere.
The village of Cedar, located
in the center of the county and
possessed of one of the livest
commercial clubs in the state,
received the first prize.
How Cedar Won
This is what Cedar did on
Good Roads Day: She grubbed,
graded, filled and turnpiked ev-
cry street in the village. She
had a train load of cinders on
hand and surfaced these streets
with cinders. Every man, wom-
an and child in the village and
farmers from the surrounding
territory, within a radius of
five miles, were at work that
day. The result of that days
labor will not only be benefit
to the village Of Cedar but the

ways.

(From The Inland Motorist)
In our last article for the In
land Motorist we outlined some
thing of what might be done in
volunteer work on June Is, Min
nesota's state good roads day.
Many of the suggestions there
presented were made use of in
various parts of the state and
the results have been success
Tul far beyond the expectations
of the most sanguine.
In order to show what can be
done by means of cooperation
along this line we have selected
one small county in the state
and will give a brief resume of
the results.
Commercial Bodies Work
Anoka county has a number
of active commercial clubs,
Farmers clubs and kindred or
CARNATIONS which take a keen
interest in the betterment of the
county. The members of these
organizations have been inter-
ested for a long time in the bet
&erment of the highways of the
county and there is seldom a
meeting of one of these clubs
without a good roads sneech on
the program.
Anoka county is exceptional
ly fortunate in having a county
board composed of far-sighted
and intelligent men high-mind-
ed enough and public-spirited
enough to bring to the duties
of their offices more than the
ordinary amount of time, care
and labor.
At a glance they appreciated
what might be done on Good
Roads Day by means of con-
certed effort.
Prizes Hung Up
The sum of $500 was set aside
by the board for the purpose
of encouraging volunteer work
on a given day. This sum was
divided into three prizes which
would be awarded to that sec
lion Of the county which devel-
oped the first, second and third
