CANADA TO MARGI GRAS CITY


(Rv FRNnUDlrK }. WRIGHT. prcsi-
den. Of Jefferson Highway As60catIon)
In New Orleans on November l. and
+ 5 Of last fall. after six months Of sys-
tematic agitation, more than 400 good
roads enthusiasts fr0m eleven states
west Of the Mississippi river met and
organized the Jefferson Highway assO-
citation. Now q ribbon Of concrete and
rock and grayelis rapidly unrollinS be-
tween Winnipeg, Canada, and New Or
leans, La, which latter city aspires to
be known as the winter capital OF
America.
In less than six months Of its official
existence, the jefferson highway has
become second in importance among
Americas great new national high
ways. The Lincoln highway is natural
ly and rightfully given first place, con-
meeting as it does New York and San
Francisco, and spanning the entire con-
tinent from east to west. The Jetfer-
son highway, on the other hand, ira
verses the great agricultural center
and connects the Dominion Of Canada
at Winnipeg with the Gulf of Mexico
at New Orleans. 1t crosses the rich
AGRICULTURAL states Of Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas. Oklahoma, Texas
and Louisiana, with a possible branch
! through the Ozark mountains in Arkan-
sas.
Thomas Jefferson is justly entitled
to the honor which the Jefferson high.
way is expected to confer upon his
name. The great north and south
highway traverses the Louisiana pur-
chase territory with the exception OF
| 4 short dip into Texas. made to provide
! a level route around the mountains Of
! Arkansas. This diversion makes the
jefferson highway a farm land, level
country route from beginning TO end.
The actual work Of grayeling, rock
ing, matchmaking or surfacing with
concrete is now being arranged for
with surprising energy. Single coun-
ties in Texas and Louisiana have
voted 100000 and 100000 bond is
sues. Counties and road districts in
which it would not have been supposed
that ten per cent of the voters would
approve of bond issues for building
roads have won their bond issues cas-.
| lily because of enthusiasm for the JET
ferson highway.
Highways must be built on tn,
ground as we'll as on paper before the
