ON CLOVERLAND TRAIL
Editor Bennett Tells OF Ills First
Trip Over This Highway

we have at present not the least
intention or aspiration TO pose as a
pathfinder or auto pioneer, having lost
all such desire during the days OF the
building OF the county trunk road in
strenuous and expensive attempt TO
reach Marenisco and Gogebic lake.

series of deep mud holes
But nevertheless we drove car

a fish hook; that is TO say, not really
a fish hook but hook OF trout flies
and reel and line. With the idea
that we might possibly be lucky
enough to find these lost articles, dear

OF the year, we started our from Iron
wood about $50 Tuesday morning.

accompanied by him, we started out
to look over the road east OF the
Meet for short ways" and simply
kept on going until we reached Iron
River at about four thirty In the af-
ternoon We remained in Iron River
until six o'clock. and then drove back
to Watersmeet, the return trip be-
tween the places being made in two
hours and a quarter, with no fast driy-
ing even on the best of the road.

know is how are the roads. and TO
tEis we will say that they are very
good. especially when YOU consider
that the roads have just been finished.
