NATIONAL PARK
HIGHWAY OPEN
Short Line Connection to the
Pacific Coast.
ENTERS THE YELLOWSTONE.

The Roadway Is Termed the Salt Lake.
Yellowstone Highway and Connects
With the Lincoln Highway, Midland
Trail and Pixies Route to the Pacific
Coast-BuIt on a Water Grade,
A direct, short line connection, term
ed the Salt Lake Yellowstone highway,
between the Lincoln highway, Midland
trail and Pixies route to the Pacific
coast, at Salt Lake City and Ogden,
Utah, the Yellowstone National park
and all points in northwestern United
States, is now open to auto traffic.
The highway is built on water
grade and passes between the Wasatch
range and the Great Salt lake in Utah,
northerly through the Cache, Malad
and Bear lake valleys in Idaho, to
Pocatello, Ida The Idaho-Pacitlc or
Oregon trail branches at this point
northwesterly through the watershed
Of the Snake and Columbia rivers to
Spokane, Seattle and coast points.
From Pocatello north to Yellowstone
park the highway traverses the upper
Snake river valley on the same water
grade over the Captain Bonneville trail
to point near the western border Of
the park and then skirts the park to
the western entrance at Yellowstone,
Mont
Approximately 100000 has been
spent in the construction of the high
way. A larger number of small road
associations have been working for the
past eight years toward its compile
ton. Several years ago it has desig-
mated part of joint system of state
highways by the highway commissions
of Utah and Idaho and the major part
of the construction work achieved with
state and county aid Early in 1916
these smaller organizations met with
the county commissioners along the
route and the two state highway com
missions and formed the Utah-Idaho-
Yellowstone Highway association for
the state purpose of completing few
unfinished sections, doing general re-
pair work, shortening the route in sew
eral localities, making the highway
from the Great Salt lake to Yellow
stone park first class and continuous
for use this year and maintaining and
patrolling it throughout the season.
The Salt Lake-Y Yellowstone highway
not only furnishes an outlet for park
bound traffic Of the Lincoln highway,
Pixies peak route and Midland trail
from California and eastern United
States at Salt Lake and Ogden and for
traffic off the northern route into the
park and out of the Yellowstone en-
trance bound for the northwest
branching at Pocatello, lda.) and Call
fornia and eastern points via Ogden
and Salt Lake, but it is the only d.
rect north and south connection be-
tween these central western and north
ern routes in the Rocky mountain re-
gion.
All Of the beautiful scenic mountain
GUS sections of Utah and Idaho lying
contiguous to the Yellowstone National
park are reached by this main highway
and auxiliaries.
1t also serves as the main trunk high
way and basis of general scheme OF
connecting county road systems in the
seventeen counties Of the two states
along the route.

Strange Insects With Markings That
Puzzle Scientists.

Portland Ore. - Beetles bearing
Masonic and other markings that have
proved a puzzle to the Carnegie insti-
tute have been found by Fred Steen Of
the Steen mine in the Cornucopia dis
trict in Oregon.
The insects are of the general type
of the long horned wood borer, but ac-
cording to the Carnegie institute there
is an apparent variation from any hith,

The backs are black and the mark,
ings are traced as though in white ink
Some markings form a combination Of
letters and Arabic numerals. Many
have markings "V U g." Others have
the Masonic emblem Of the square and

Only Fourteen Cases In Year.
Chicago.-For a year Illinois has had
a law permitting judges after fning a
defendant to admit him to probation
and allow him to pay the fine in in
stallments SO that he might support his
family instead of working out the fine
by labor in prison.
But since its passage the law has
been used in only fourteen instances.
Two of the defendants have paid their
fines in full, five have paid a part two
are trying to have their fines RENTED
two have paid nothing, one has just
been fined, one has absconded and one
is in Jail,

He has been reading about elephants
with hide so thick bullets will not
pierce it. A few days ago he came
to me and said: Papa, what do you
think they.woUld give me if went
over and stopped the war;? 1 said:
"They would give you almost any
thing" Would they give me a mil
lion dollars?" Sure" said L "They
would give you a hundred millions"
well, I'll tell you what to do. You
get me an elephant hide and I'll put
it on and go to the Germans and say:
Now, Germans, you must stop this
fighting or will fight on the English
and French side and, of course; with
this elephants hide on that no bullets
can go through, you will stand no
chance at all Then I will go to the
English and French and tell them l
will fight on the German side if they
don't stop. Then they will have to
quit. Won't they?." ''Of course"

Omaha, Neb., March 21.-Trans-
portation TO all members of the
Rourke family has been sent out with
orders to report at Beatrice not later
than March 81. Rourke will open
camp at Beatrice Friday or Saturday,
as it is probable several of the ath-
letes will arrive a day or two ahead
of time and Rourke and Krug plan to

All but two of the Rourkes have

two who have not signed have ex-
fered. Cecil Thompson, southpaw
hurler and Cy Forsythe are the two
unsigned men.
Rourke received a letter from
Thompson last week. The Southpaw
runs a confectionery store IN Perry,
of the firm died recently. On this &C
count he may be a little late in re-
porting He said he was satisfied
with his contract, though, and would

Rourke was packing in the trunks

"Oh. we let 'em kick the soccer balls

Topeka the golf center of the middle
west.
Clark, if he accepts the terms of
fered him, will be here about three
months and will superintend all the
grading and construction work
While the permanent course is being
made members of the club will play
on a new temporary set of green's that
will be constructed just as soon as
possible The permanent course, as
shown above, will probably not be
ready for use for a year OF more, but
even the one that the members will
play on this summer will be superior
to many in this section.
In constructing the new course, the
members are following out to some
extent the plan adopted by the thrifty
German farmer who builds a fine barn
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-03-21

before building a big house, under the
theory that the barn will help build
the house. while, if he builds the house
first, it will in no way enable him to
build his barn. Many of the wealthy
golf organizations adopt the opposite
plan to this. The first thing they do
is to erect a handsome club house and
then provide a course later on. And
as a result, most of these are never
able to boast more than their impos-
ing looking house.
But the Shawnee club is putting
everything into the course, endeavor-
ing to make it as good as possible
and if the course comes up to eX
pectations, the club house problem
will solve itself and it will be an easy
matter to build it in keeping with
the grounds

JESS IS CONFIDENT
Moran Not Man Enough to
Win, Champion Says.
Johnson TOyed With Pittsburg-
er in Paris Fight.
BY JESS WILLARD.

- New York, March 21.-My physical
condition is all I could desire and my
mind is perfectly at case. There is
not the least thing connected with the
bout next Saturday night to cause me
the slightest worry.
49, The shape I am in can only be cred
tied to the astuteneSs of my trainer,
Walter Monahan. My physical con-
eition is nigh to perfect and 1 only
need two more days of real work to
get me keyed to the proper notch.
What probably interests folk most
Is what 1 think of the coming fray
To be candid 1 do not think very
much of it as far as I'm involved
When l enter the ring 1 will be fit to
defend my title and have not the
Slightest misgivings of the world s
Championship fitting away from the
Willard camp.
Moran Can't Win.
No matter how good Frank Moran
will be on Saturday night he won
be good enough to defeat me. This is
not said in any egotistical manner but
simply because l am bas-ng my fore
cast on what l really believe is fact.
When / conquered Jack johnson 1t
was admitted on every side that
defeated the best man in the world at
that time. Moran had chance at
the title when he fought johnson IN
Paris. Those who witnessed that bat
tie declare that the big black toyed
with Moran.
For the sake of argument, l Will
admit that Moran has improved. l
also must add at the same time that
1 don't believe I've hit the toboggan
vet Weight, height and reach are all
in my favor and again, in question
of speed | think l have a big shade
With all those attributes in my IA
vor it seems impossible to me for Mo-
ran to be considered dangerous. AS
all my friends know, l am not fond OF
blowing my own horn. SO many per
sons have pestered me during the past
three weeks asking me about my
chances that 1 am merely discussing
them.
Will Soon Retire.
Another matter that may be of IN
terest is that l don't intend to tick
10 the fighting game forever but Will
retire within two years. By that time l
will have all the money a man needs.
When l started out it was with the
firm determination to try to acquire
enough money to be beyond the reach
of want in my old age. Thank God, l
am now near my goal and don't IN
tend to spend all my life seeking Solu
at the expense of enjoyment.
NY retirement may be sooner than
/ expect. for none can tell what the
future holds in store. The first bat
tie in which 1 feel myself slipping Will
be my last. Naturally 1 prefer to
leave the ring a champion for that
would establish a record in the heaVy-
weight class.
