Yellowstone Trail
April Sd Designated Membership Day


To finance a national highway
organization for an entire year in
single day, is the undertaking of
the officers of the Yellowstone Trail
Association, according to advices
received by Geo. C. Burke, trail
man for Milbank, from the gener-
al office Of the Trail, at Aberdeen,
South Dakota.
The Yellowstone Trail is the
best organized highway in America
1t owes the position that it has oc-
cupied among the highways of the
country, in its proud place at the
top, to two things:-First, that it
is an undivided route extending
across the United States, and it has
kept good faith with all the COM
munitles through which it passes.
Second, it has a continuous and
positive organization that works for
the whole Of the road 365 days in
the year.
The Trail officers, of course, can
only do the work of the organization
by having money. The trail is or
ganlzed like commercial club or
chamber of commerce, having
membership along the Trail. The
memberships are Of four kinds -
Organization memberhip, that is
memberships held by town thru
its COMMERCIAL club, chamber Of
commerce, auto club or other civic
organization. Individual member
ships OF one year, five years or life
the fee paying with the kind.
The Trail has big plans for 1917.
The offices are working to have
every foot of the Trail designated
as state highway through the several
states. Free touring information
bureaus are to yet to be put into
service at Chicago, Minneapolis,
Miles City and Seattle; publicity
tour by the personal representatives
OF governors Of the several states
is to be made, the whole party be-
ing guests Of the Trail Association !;
the whole Of the trail is to be re-
marked under q uniform system;
and the organized activity for
keeping the road in good condition,
is going to be maintained more
actively than ever. A new route
folder is now being printed.
! All of these plans, of course cost
money. The reports for 1916 show
that the trail association had tota
Of $66OO.O0 to work with in 1916.
The actual expense was $71OO .OC
State meetings have been held in al
states, and at these meetings it wa.
the sense of those gathered that the
fund was too small to carry on 1
work Of such proportion.

bers are its ruling force. Tn,

April 8. 1917, is the day set 70
citizens to do their part. A repor

showing exactly what each town o1

Belgian Children
South Dakota to Provide for 5000
In City Of Menin

The organized effort to save the
children Of Belgium from starvation
was represented in this city last
Tuesday when Mrs. G. S Camp
bell. Of Dell Rapids. was here to
start relief organization in the
county. The state committee of
this relief is composed Of such men
as Gov. Norbeck, ex-Gov. Herried,
A. O. Ringsrud, James Coffee, Mark
w. Sheaf, C. H Burke, with Geo
+. Douthett, Of Sioux Falls, as
chairman. Mrs. Campbell is visit
ing the several counties in the state
and organizing the work, as South
Dakota has taken upon itself the
feeding Of 5000 children in the
CITY of Menin, a town near the
French boundary, which had about
20, 900 population before the war.
The work is being done under the
direction Of the Literary Digest
company which has apportioned Ger
tain amounts to the different states,
that of South Dakota being S36, 600
According to population Grant
county's apportionment of this
amount would be 81 300. The ap-
portionment allots $l2 for child
for year, and it is proposed that
lodges, clubs and the various socie-
ties take one more Of these units Of
SIP for the saving of Belgian
child.

old court HOUSE
TO Be MEMORY SOON

First steps towards demolition Of
the old Court House and beautifca-
ton Of the suare in front OF the new
Public Building will be taken with
letting OF contracts for razing the
building bids for which are due
March q. Proposals for the work
have been called for by the Board Of
Park Commissioners. Copies of the
specifications and form Of proposal
may be obtained at the office OF the
board, room 377. in City Hall
This means that work of removing the
old Court House will be started prob
ably within a month, and will be car
ried out this spring SO that work of
beautifying the square may be done this
summer. Purchase Of the old building
by the city has now been assured
through sale of the old City Hall, and
there now is no reason why the changes
proposed for the square should not be
carried out as rapidly as possible.
Other changes in the vicinity of the
square also are to be carried out soon.
Plans are understood to be well under
way for the new library building on
Tenth street between Market and King
streets, and bids for the new building
for the Y. w. c. A.. on King street be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets, will be
asked for in the near future.

NEW YORK. March Indications
that President Wilson may be asked
to mediate in the threatened railway
strike, scheduled to begin tomorrow
railroad managers hurriedly went
into conference shortly after W. G..
Lee. speaking as president of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen,
suggested the step.
The Brotherhood chiefs followed
the example of the managers and also
went into an inofrmal conference.
Lee made his statement in talking
with newspaper men and the quick
ness with which the railway man
ayers went into conference led TO the
belief that it was being favorably con-
sdered.
From the railway managers con-
ference shortly came unofficial"
word that Lees request for President
Wilson TO mediate amounted to ap-
prOximately the same thing as the
managers suggestion yesterday that
the Goethals eight~hour commission,
appointed by the President, settle the
whole controversy. The opposing
camps were apparently much nearer
together than during yesterdays

WASHINGTON, March 16. - Rus
sias revolution directly touched the
fate and future OF this nation, officials
held today.
II the revolution does democratize
Russia, these officials pointed out the
nation will be enlightened; il will
have more schools. more railroads,
more public buildings, better living
conditions and the vast resources of a
pioneer country will be opened
Moreover, IL will stimulate a rapid
ly growing trade with the United
States that promises TO be even more
enormous, officials held.
Also. II the revolutionists succeeded
as they have to date-and can estab-
lish a broad gauge. strong central
government It will mean a stronger
war against Germany. II, however,
they arc slow and unable to meet the
titanic problems, then Germany will
roll up a new offensive strike hard
at the Slavs and perhaps force a
separate peace. Such an outcome
doubtless would have the effect Of
drawing this nation nearer the war.
AS the revolution stands. Il is a papu-
lar move, aimed at the corrupt aris-
tocracy. There are the official views
here.
