BOOSTERS FOR
COMMUNITY MEET

Warren Commercial Club Holds An.
ss5s, nual Meeting and Transacts
Important Business.
The annual meeting Of the Warren
Commercial Club was held at the
Club Rooms on Monday evening.
There was a large attendance Of
members and a great deal Of en-
thusiasm was manifested for COM
munity betternent-
Julius J. Olson, who had repre-
sented the Club at a meeting held
in Brainard for the purpose of es--
tablishing the Scenic Highway in
Minnesota, gave a report Of what
had been accomplished at said meet
ing. The location Of the highway
was definitely determined at the
meeting and steps taken to have
same legally laid out. This work
has already been done and the road
is now established in the various
counties through which it will pass.
It will take the traveller through
the beautiful lake region in central
Minnesota, then through the cream
of the rich Red River Valley agri-
cultural lands. then through to the
picturesque Lake Of the Woods and
the Rainy River region, and then
make circuit of the great iron
range and timber country in eastern
Minnesota. Thousands of cars will
no doubt pass over this grand
scenic route every year as soon as
it is put in good condition for travel
and tourists fro ma distance find
out what it hos to offer them
Seekers after health and pleasure
can make no more beneficial or en-
joyable trip than on this highway.
The road will pass from Crookston
and through Warren, Argyle and
Stephen in Marshall county. Having
been fortunate to secure the road, it
is up to the county to put it in
shape for travel. One condition i'm
posed on the valley counties in order
to secure the location of the road
was that same must be graveled in
IN order to be passabe at all times and
in all kinds of weather. The road
/ through our county is already built
IN accordance with required specif-
cations and needs only to have the
gravel applied, which should be
done the coming spring. It will re-
qulre considerable money to do this
gravelling and it is hoped that Ar
gyle and Stephen and also the
County Board will cooperate in this
great enterprise which is bound to
be OF vast benefit to the county as
whole.
