AUTOMOBILE TRAIL
AUTHORIZED TRAIL FROM THE
FAR SOUTH TO THE SCENIC
CENTER LAID OUT.

Val Lathongue, of Minneapolis.
president and promoter of the Val
Lathongue Automobile Trail Blazing
and Maintenance company, said to-
day hat the organization of the Mis-
sissippi-Y trail i'm this
county was complete, that markers
for the trail would be sent at once,
and the road fully indicated. 1t is to
follow the old territorial road
through this county, joining the
Black and Yellow Chicago Yellow
stone trail at Huron, and the Yellow
stone trail at Aberdeen. But the
feature offered for this locality is
that it makes it possible to get to
Lake Okoboji from here on one day,
and from there here in the same
time.
The whole trail starts at New Or
leans. strikes Baton Rouge, Vicks-
burg, Memphis, Cairo, st. Louis,
Hannibal, Cedar Rapids, Fort Dodge,
Spirit Lake, Jackson, Pi~pestone,
Madison and Huron, then along the
established western trails as indi-
Gated.
Each district has an organization,
and each state has its officers join
ing all the local organizations. The
president of the state organization is
a member of the national organiza-
ton, and has a vote. Careful in
spection is maintained by the live To-
cal members, and maintenance and
improvement is cared for. At the
present time the local link of the
trail will get no outside aid, except
$50 appropriated by the Merchants
association for the markers. Later
it is hoped to get some aid of the
federal government to improve these
highways.
Mr.. L~athongue is the original
blazer of trails. The idea of the
Glidden tours were improved upon
and made applicable to the better
roads development. And now they
publish maps and information for
automobiles which are authority on
route and entertainment. While
nominally his work here is complet-
ed, he says he will return some time
later to inspect the placing of the
markers.

new OIL firm
DACOTAH OIL COMPANY SET
TIES ON SITE AND HAS PROF.
ECT WE'LL DEVELOPED,

To handle better grades of lubri.
eating, stove and power oils in Mad
ison, c. c. Wagner and Fred H.
Buehler, associated under the firm
name of the Dacotah Oil company,
have secured sites and will erect a
building at once for the transaction
of business. They intend rot only to
take are of such local trade as may
be offered at a well located service
station, but will do a jobbing bust
ness with neighboring towns. They
have secured the lease of the old Val
Blatz brewing property on the rail
way right of way for their unloading
and storage station, and have the
Thompson corner at First street NE
for the service station. The work of
installing the equipment will be I'M
dertaken at once. Mr.. Buehler will
have the active management of the
business during the winter months,
assisted in the summe by his part
ner.
Mr.. Buehler has had a wide ex-
perience in all kinds of oils, having
sold such materials to the trade for
some years. Mr.. Wagner has the
means and knowledge to know what
is in an oil, being a chemist. They
say that they have secured contracts
for a specially good grade of power
oil from a perfectly good independ-
ent company. Instead of the 54
gravity oil which is being sold for
motors, theirs is to be straight run
oil of $500 Baume. And instead of
their oil being the filled oil, it is to
be the straight run, and uniform all
the way to the bottom of the re-
ceptacle.
They will remodel the old building
on the brewing property to handle
and re-can and re-barrel lubricating
oils, and install two storage tanks of
motor will unload the oil from the
tank ears with a centrifugal pump.
Their uptown office will be built
on the lot made vacant by the burn
ing of the Electric Supply company
more than a year ago. Ii is to bt
built of cement and glass, fireproof
with space to handle the regular
gasoline in two grades and lubricat
ing oils and accessories. Their stor
age here will be about 500 gallons
and it will be delivered to cars OF
First street NE, through a duplel
tower capable of delivering to tive
cars at the same time. 1t is an i'm
proved sight-indicating machine.
Not included in the initial project
but left to be a development Of late
business, is one of running a servic'
to neighboring towns. Some prog
ress toward this has been made. /
is proposed to run motor tanks t.
~neighboring towns, delivering thu
higher grade of oil in competition
with the lower grade of the STANDARD
company. Mr.. Wagner said that tn,
hen had been on this project for tive
years, and was now about TO com,
off.

REDOUBLED EFFORT
BY THE GERMANS
LOSSES OF GERMANS so GREAT
THAT REINFORCEMENTS ARE
BEING BROUGHT FROM ALL
PORTIONS OF FRONT.

Paris, March 26.-The battle con-
tinues with the greatest violence and
the Germans are making still great
er efforts along the whole front be-
tween Noyon and Chalunes, the war
office announces.
Noyon was evacuated by the
French during the night. The left
bank of the Disc is being held firm
ly by the French.
London, March 26.-The fighting
died down during the night, the war
office reports. The British estab-
lished themselves in new positions
east of Roye and Albert.
The Germans this morning began
new attacks against the combined
French and British forces south OF
the Somme.
The German losses have been so
great that the enemy has been
obliged to bring reinforcements from
all parts of the western front. The
war office has established the fact
that more than 20 German divisions
Tin the neighborhood of $4,000
mem have been engaged.
The capture by the Germans of the
towns of Nesle and Guiscard, n
nounced by Berlin today is confirm
ed in this evenings British official
statement.
ThnPn Gnnn1C Ct1nn all 1nuhf h.Yf that
the German attacking troops are dog
weary, fighting under great strain;
but this is mentioned merely as an
interesting sidelight and not for the
purpose of sounding a note of OPP
timism. Harder fighting than has
yet occurred undoubtedly will follow.
Berlin, March 26.-The Germans
are o standing to the north of the
Somme in the middle of the former
Somme battlefield, says todays Off
cial statement. Bapaumc was cap
tured in night fighting.
In the evening Nesle was taken by
storm, the statement adds. British
Americans and French were thrown
back through a painless wooded
country.
More than As, 900 prisoners and
more than 500 guns have been cap
tured, the statement says.
Guiscard and Chauny were cap
tured in the evening.
Violent fighting developed for
possession OF Combles and the
heights west of the town. The en-
envy was defeated, the statement
says.
