FINAL PARK TO PARK
ROAD LINK FINISHED
NEW HIGHWAY MAKES MOTOR
TRAVEL JOY FROM GLACIER
TO YELLOWSTONE.

Great Falls.-With the virtual
completion of the eight-mile strip of
roadway a mile and half above sea
level through the mountains near Mel
hart, a highway to delight the most
fastidious motorist stretches uninter-
rupted from the Gardiner gateway of
Yellowstone park to the eastern ell
trance to Glacier National Park.
This strip of road marks the first
actual cooperation in the work of
highway building between the forest
service and county officials in the
state of Montana. The cost-$46, 900
is shared by the federal forest SER
vice and the counties of Cascade and
Meagher. The construction has been
in charge of the road building depart
ment Of the forest service. It is de-
clared that this stretch of road is as
satisfactory as any that can be found
in the northwest. 1t will be just as
good in January as in June. The en-
gineers have made thorough provision
for drainage.
Tt was the almost impossible char
acter Of the old roadway that lead to
the building Of the superlatively good
substitute. The proposal for it's con-
struction came from Scott Leavitt,
supervisor of the jefferson national
forest, when he made his first tour
over the forest in June, 1913.

only one has been sent back to pris-

They are not marked men either.
Not five persons in the Ford plant

And those who do know are persons

To the mind of the average man,
who believes that some good exists in

that Ford has accomplished.
