as to whether the little force was able

to consider unconfirmed reports that

theory, asserting that all their re-
ports indicated that both commands

Southern Route Inspected

WlIQ a view OF OOCalnlu& uFSt
hand information as to the con.
dition of the southern route of
the proposed Ozark trail connect
ing Springfield and St. Louis, E.
L. Sanford, recently elected vice
president of the Ozark Trails
Association to represent Mis-.
souri,, and W. H Seed, highway
expert representing the Greater
Springfield committee, made an
inspection tour of the route Sat.
urday, Sunday and Monday.
They returned to Springfield
Monday.
Leaving Springfield Saturday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the two
good roads advocates made brief
stops at Mansfield and Mountain
Grove, arriving at Houston late
in the afternoon. They spent
the night there, leaving Sunday
and stopping at Rolla, St. James
and Union. They arrived at ST..
Louis Sunday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock, and after a few hours
stop, left for Union, where they
spent Sunday night. The trip
from Union to Springfield was
made Monday.
Vice President Sanford ex-
poets soon to make a similar trip
over the northern route and
another subsequently over the
proposed compromise route from
Salem east to Iron Mountain,
thence over the old Telegraph
road into St. Louis. The pro
posed third route would elimi.
nate several of the towns at the
extreme east end of the southern
route.
The tour over the southern
route was made with a view of
ascertaining definite knowledge
of the condition of the roads in
order that he may be able as a
vice president of the Ozark Trails
Association to offer such sugges.
tions to good roads enthusiasts
along the route as may be desired
and that he might better pro
mote the building Of roads in
Missouri.
While several bad stretches of
road were encountered on the
southern route, Mr.. Sanford
said, boosters along that route
deserve much credit Tor the pro-
gress made during the past year
in the improvement of roads
which make up the highway.
Every effort to promote the
completion of the southern route
will be made by Mr.. Sanford
and other good roads boosters,
by Nov. Is, at which time the
official route of the Ozark trail
connecting Springfield and St.
Louis will be designated by
President w. H. Harvey of the
trails association. - Springfield
