National parks, and the Jefferson
Highway extending from the mouth
of the Mississippi to it's source and on
to Winnipeg. AS you know, several
of these great national highways in
wade our territory. While many of
our automobile highways are used as
part of these trans-continenta
highways, yet we have in our state
automobile roads distinctively our
own. First in my thought are the
wonderful automobile highways
leading from Duluth to your range
cities and towns.
Much Good Done Ill
We are staggered with the thought
of the great good that has come to
the people of the state, and those
even beyond our borders, by the con-
struction and maintenance of these
elegant highways. How can you
comprehend the pleasure that the
thousands upon thousands of citizens
of this state have enjoyed when using
these elegant roads? How can we
compute the time that has been saved
by those whose business have re-
quired them to pass over these roads,
by reason OF Cnelf Sp1euulu cOnu1-
tons? 1t is not within our power to
fully comprehend the benefits already
enjoyed by reason of the passing of
the old roads that formerly led from
the range to Duluth and the main
tenance of these adequate and elegant
highways. Go to the older and more
densely populated rural areas of our
state and what T have just said in
reference to your elegant highways
here still more aptly applies to the
benefits enjoyed and now being en-
joyed by the citizens of the older and
more density populated rural districts

The Midland Trail, somewhat con-
fused with other highways, extend

of the state, where good highways
everywhere are being introduced.
With the coming and completion Of
the Jefferson Highway, and the con-
Meeting up of the Wonderland Trail,
and side trip branches, or optional
routes, nOrthern Minnesota will pre-
sent, not only to her own people but
to the travelling public of the world
an opportunity to travel in comfort
through a land of wonder and beauty,
full of pleasant surprises and great
interest, dotted with pleasant places
of rest and repose, combining timber
and prairie, mines and wheat fields,
hills and lakes, valleys and beautiful
rivers.
A Splendid Highway
The Mississippi River from La
Crosse to Little Falls is skirted with
a splendid automobile highway. The
delights of trip over that highway
cannot be excelled. From Winona to
numerous ways, pleasant for the
autOist to follow. It is a pleasure to
drive from st. Paul to Ortonville
I am now told on good authority that
the Twin City to Twin Ports High
way is at last a matter of fact. From
the Twin Cities to Bemidji by way
of Wadena, we have splendid high
way. From Duluth to Grand Forks,
by way of Grand Rapids, Cass Lake,
Bemidji, Bagley and Crookston, we
have an excellent auto road. From
the Twin Cities north through Anoka,
Princeton to Millelac Lake, to Gar
rison, to Brainerd, Akeley, Walker
and Bemidji, we have most excellent
auto highway The tourist first
has an opportunity to view the sights
Of the Twin Cities, passes along the
Mississippi River to Anoka, is intro
duced to the beautiful homes and
farms in and about Princeton, is led
along the bank of the Rum River to
MilleLac Lake, permitted to feast his
eyes on the beauties of that region,
carried through the district of the
Coynna Range to Brainerd, permit
ted to breathe in the fragrance Of the
balsom, the pine and the fir, as he
speeds north past the lakes and across
the rivers and through the forests and
is prepared for the elegant meal and
the delightful accommodations await
ing him at the City of Enterprise on
the bank of Lake Bemidji.
Cannot Mistake
The tourist may be in doubt as to
which of the many delightful trails
he should take, but he can make no
mistake for if at Anoka, he should
continue to follow the beautiful trail
along the Mississippi River, and visit
St. Cloud, Little Falls, Wadena, Park
Rapids, the delight would be equally
as great. But great as the pleasure

that comes with passing over a per-
feet automobile highway is the object
Of the efforts of the great men who
are engaged in the business of urging
upon the people the adoption of a
national and state system of good
roads everywhere
Minnesota Backward
While Minnesota is somewhat back
ward, yet we cannot think of what
has been accomplished without some
just feeling of PRIDE Of course, as
you know, we have the great Trans
