Representatives. query, sthat the
marking Is completed TO Miller. IN
Hand county. ss's
t'I found q little work being done
between Watertown and Henry, con
tinued Mr. Schlosser The road is
Just passable. "A lot Of dragging will
make it q very good highway. TN
fortunately found no one at home
at Henry. The excitement OF the
chautauqua had scattered It's citizens
in an advertising campaign.
Henry 70 Raymond.
From Henry to Clark the highway
is in 4 very bad condition, and Clark
county certainly has some work on
hand to get her share of the road in
shape for tlayel. The local commit
tee at Clark are alive to the situation
|and we are prom sed good accouar-
ing III a very early dsste. NJ
The machinery for doing the work
is Ia sight and the material for the
fills to be made SO very handy that iii
they once set the spirit Clark coun-
ty will have good roads. We have,
however, to sympathize with our
neighbors for the many sloughs Ito be
filled In bridging the county.
From Clark to Raymond the high-
way is very good Ins many places,
In fact, it Is perfect, and very little
up.keep expense will make this flne
stretch Of road. The boys In Ray.
mond are alive and besides being de-
lighted with the marking will keep
up their end.
Fine From Raymond to Redfieid.
From Raymond to Doland, on to-
Frankfort and through to RedfieId, a
better highway is hard to- And, and
in the pink Of condition. The mayor
|of Doland is certainly to be counted
"a booster for better roads and In his
enthusiasm he is supported by the
solid backing of his prosperous little
city.
Working out both ways from the
city the work is kept ,ip by constant
dragging and unless this can BIZ pro-
vided there is little use spf the ex-
pense Of first work. No one can fail
TO miss the routing while passing
through the city as the markings are
spicuously displayed on the inter.
section corners in the middle Of the
street.
AT Frankfort there is unusual In
teTast manifest in the good 1oads
movement, and attention is being
given not only the Twin City Black
Hills route, but an other lines mepg-
Ing in this little city. We are par
[ticularly pleased to announce a live
wire in immediate charge OF this
division, in the person of Henry Mot
ley. Some additional markings are
to be erected here to avoid any com
fusion in going in or out Of the city.
AS already stated the road into
|Redfield from the east is in fine con-
|dition, barring only few very short
|crossings. For the most part no
Stacking up even In these instances
would be necessary.
Redfieid Warmly Commended.
West OF Redfeld to Zell, a good
deal Of work will be necessary. In
fact some entirely new road Isl to be
built, and the equipment is now on
hand with which to begin the work,
the county commissioners having
Just purchased two large tractors. one
additional grader and a dozen or
more dump wagons with one elevated
grader, and a company OF men and
teams engaged to spend the entire
RedfeId boosters talk about doing
business as usual, war or no war.
The city is Just teeniing with hustle
in their large building projects. On
this ons particular point I will be
glad to say word later. as the rnu.
