Stevens Point retains the Yellow

the federal road and the appropria-

Would Mean Big Loss.

Mr.. Cauley says that the arrange
ment of the federal road through
Plover and Grand Rapids would mean
the loss of $4,000 federal money
and $4,000 state money to Portage
county during the next five years. In
addition, the federal trucks and all
other travellers would stop at Grand
Rapids instead of this city.
1t is declared that Stevens Point
business men will need to do some
lively work if they do not wish to be
left off the federal highway. The
distance from Amherst to Marshfeld
by way of the Bear Lake and Plover-
Grand Rapids roads is between nine
and ten miles farther than the route
over the new Yellowstone Trail road

More Important Than Trail
The federal road with the appro-
priations planned for it is far more
important to the city than the Vel
Iowstone Trail, Mr. Cauley declares.
The proposed route through the
center of the county to Grand Rapids
would take in some of the more sparse
ly settled parts of the county and
would be of the least advantage to
the county as a whole.

this vicinity in the Commercial club
rooms Saturday afternoon, the prices
of milk and cream were raised, the

IL 1-2c; gallon, 35c; quart Of coffee
cream, SOC; gallon of coffee cream,

FAKE SOLICITORS

Beware of solicitors. When a soli-
citor calls upon you and you are not
acquainted with him or his PROPOSE
ton, send him to the Chamber OF
Commerce and Agriculture and let
them investigate. There are many
who take advantage of susceptible
humans by appealing with a bull and
con story and some of us respond by
giving or buying.
An incident happened this week
which illustrates this. A party named
Frank Schneider, presumably from
Ouray, Colorado, who was on his way
to Rochester, Minn., for medical treat.
ment, stopped off at Glasgow. After
he had solicited the court house and {
few downtown business houses fo1
some easy money he was sent to Mr.
Jones, secretary of the club, for in
vestigation. Mr.. Jones advises tina
he probably needed medical attention
but it was certain that his ailment dit
not hinder him from getting the mon
ey. He stated that he had been max
ing town after town for many years
