CLUB TALKS OVER
ROADS AND MEMORIAL
Committee Will Attend Cooley Trail
Meeting Attention Given to
Green and White Trail

The Commercial Club got onto a
peace basis at it's meeting last Fri
day evening and began turning it's
attention once more to matters of
special interest to the city and COM
munity.
A letter was read telling Of the
new east and west trail which is be-
ing projected from Grani Rapids,
Minnesota, to Sisseton, S. D., and the
club was invited to send repreeen-
tative to a meeting which was held
in Little Falls yesterday afternoon,
at which permanent organization
will be affected. This should be an
important highway and It is named
in honor of Geo. G. Cooley, of the
Minnesota State Highway Commits
sion, and a pioneer in good n ad
building in this state. Cnas. A. Lee
was appointed to attend the meeting
as the representative of the Morris
club.
The suggestion was made that the
old East and West Highway between
here and Minneapolis sh ,uld be re-
vived, and the trail extended to Far
go, as this is by far the best road
between Fargo and Minneapolis ex-
cept for some small stretches that
should be improved. If this highway
were improved in few places, and
the trail extended as suggested, and
renamed and advertised, it would
h1oiT0 0Sf nj of r. " oil
through Morris. A committee was ap-
pointed to take up the whole matter,
including the calling of meeting of
representative Of the cities along the
trail. The committee consists Of P.
L. Spooner, G.. w. Geenty, Harry Oh
son, G. A. Dushek, and J. L Morrison.
The desirability of having COM
mittee whose function it should be
to censor the subscriptions taken in
the city by itinerant solicitors was
brought up, and committee consist
ing of S. A. Siverts, w. F. Cooley and
N. Vinje was appointed to determine
what procedure should be followed
and recommend it.
There was considerable discussion
of an appropriate memorial for the
boys who have died in the service of
their country, either on the battle
field or in camp, and also of some
suitable testimonial to those who
have served with honor to themselves
and the community in this great war.
What other cities are doing was
talked over, and the scope of the
effort was discussed. The whole sub
ject was referred to a committee cen
sisting of F. A. Hancock, e. J. Jones
and F. R. Putnam who will consider
it in all it's phases and report to a
latter meeting of the club.

but who has been a victim of the old
grab" system which has served it's
purpose, but is now obsolete and
should be superseded by the modern
comprehensive system which will
bring a good road to every farm.
In order to bring this about, we
must be prepared to issue bonds,
similar to the drainage bonds now
being issued. A County Highway
Commission should be created, which
will have in charge ALL OF THE
ROADS in the county except possibly
the State Roads, and which will work
out complete system for the county.
Then provision should be made for
issuing bonds of District for the
construction of such roads within the
district, etc etc.
If some system be worked out for
the construction of such highways as
I have outlined, it will mean more
pleasant farm life, greater prosper
ity, and the addition of millions of
dollars to the value of farms in the
county.
Sincerely yours,
For Good Roads.

STEVENS COUNTY FAIR
RANKS WELL In STATE
Is Near the Top When Compared
With Other County Fairs of
Minnesota

The Stevens County Fai, is con-
sidered one of the best county fairs
in the state and probably ranks about
third in the amount of premiums
paid. Our county fair is nearly as
close to the top as it can get with
out actually leading the whole list
of county fairs in Minnesota.
State Auditor Preus announced last
week that the state aid for county
fairs was ready for distribution and
that checks were being sent out.
VIM. Cooley, Sr., treasurer, is expect
ing a check as Stevens county's share
any day. Each fair receives an
amount from total of 100000, ac-
cording to its rank, based on the
amount of cash paid out for prems
iums and no fair is allowed in ex~
cess of $500. The amount which
this county will receive should be
$1,4OO.
The success of the Stevens county
fair has been phenominal from the
start owing to the combined efforts
of our farmers and business men, who
have at all times displayed spirit
of cooperation and patriotic effort
in it's development from year to year.
Secretary Wollthan and the board
of directors have labored faithfully
to make the fair one of the leading
ones in the state and 1913 fair was
as good if not better than any other.
Our county fair is a fine example
of community development made
possible by the unselfisk and loyal
effort of everyone in the county. The
good work should continue in the fu-
ture as it has in the past.

It's the first white bread we have had
since we left the states. We will

ter we get settled. The German
bread looks like a ginger cake and
is very heavy and sour. 1t is made
out of all kinds of grain and they
put in a lot of potatoes. It has a
very poor taste to it and one can not
eat it without something on it to kill
the taste.

"GOOD ROAD TO EVERY
FARM" IN THIS COUNTY

Editor Norris Tribune:
Now that the great war is over,
and the nation is again turning to
peaceful pursuits, one of the old, old
questions again presents itself to the
public mind-Good Roads.
1t is idle to take up time discuss
ing the desirability of good roads.
Every one comedies that there is no
public improvement make no ex-
ception-I say there is no public i'm
provement which would add so much
to the enjoyment and profit of the
people of Stevens county as would
complete system of good roads.
Of course we are all in favor of
the plan of the State Highway Com
mission for a system of hard" trunk
line highways throughout the state,
and which would give, if the present
plan is carried out, to Stevens county
a good hard" State Highway east
and west across the county, and from
Southeast to Northwest through the
county.
We are, believe, all in favor Of
this highway, but we should go much
further in our plans for good roads,
THERE SHOULD BE A GOOD
ROAD TO EVERY FARM IN STEW
EMS COUNTY.
BY Good Roads, I mean such dirt
roads as have recently been con-
strUcted in this county as Estate
Roads good grades, of ample width,
with good drainage.
These dirt roads are all that can
reasonably be expected for a general
system of highways for q long time
to come, and moreover, they will be
amply sufficient for all general pur-
poses as lateral highways. All who
have travelled these estate Roads" in
this county the past few years, will
agree that they are excellent.
But, of course, these few roads
still leave 80 per cent of the farms
without a good road, many with
mighty poor roads, and some without
any roads.
A plan should be devised for con-
structing a COMPLETE system Of
FARM good road.
At first this seems like great
undertaking, but like many other
problems the difficulties are more
imaginary than real.
During this war we demonstrated
that Stevens county could Gas it did)
purchase Government Bonds, Thrift
Stamps, and make donations to vari-
GUS war activities, to an amount ex-
ceeding 100000. A few years
ago had anyone told you that inside
of 18 months securities to that
amount could be sold in this county,
you would have said it was impossi-
BILE.
And yet it was done.
1t was done because, after all, it
does not take such an immense sum
from each individual to make up this
amount. The point in this is: you
never know what you can do until
you try it.
Let us apply this to good roads.
believe that our system of good roads
should embrace the construction of q
good road to every farm in the county
i repeat this because l think we
should be satisfied with nothing less
We don't want to be satisfied with
a plan of roads which still leaves q
large percentage of the farms 'in the
mud" with a poor road or no road
If a good road is good for one
farm, it's good for every farm.
know that our system in the past
has been rather the "grab system, ,
by which I mean that it was gener,
ally understood that Town or County
Morris tribune., 1919-01-10

Officers would first of all see to it
that there was a good, or a pretty
good, road to their farms, then they
would construct "some-kind-of-a "a"
road to the farm of that man who
fought hardest for it, and left those
who said nothing to take what was
left. Of course, every farm, whether
it had road or not, helped to pay
for the roads which the other fellow
got.
That's the old system, and
haven't anything mean tn say about
it because I believe it's now either
dead, or so sick that it will never
recover.
We are going to take q more COM
prehensive view, just and equitable
view, of this road question, and take
steps which will insure a Good Road
to Every Farm"
What about the cost?
Not so serious, after all. The
plan should embrace the building of
a good road on all four sides of
EVERY SECTION in Stevens county.
That means "a roads "a miles long
running north and south through the
county, and "a miles long running
east and west through the country
SIS miles of east and west road, and
576 miles of north and south road,
a total mileage of 1852.
The average cost of such a road
would perhaps be less than 100000
per mile, including culverts. (The
State Roads constructed IN the coun-
ty cost from $5OO.OO to $15OO.OO per
mile, depending upon the lay of the
land.)
At 100000 per mile, the total cost
of this comprehensive system of roads
for the county would be $1,152,-
10000.
This, of course, should be paid by
the taxable property of the county
but let us see what it would mean to
each 16O acre farm if the total cost
| should fell on the farms.
There are 16 townships of Sc sec
tions each, in all 576 sections, OF
| 1894 farms of 100 acres each.
Divide the $1,152, 100000 by 1904
we have an average cost of $4,000
to each 100 acre farm.
Is there farmer in Stevens county
who would not be glad TO pay this
price to have a good, we'll graded
we'll drained highway on two sides
of every quarter section Of land he
owns?
When we stop to think that fol
the sum of S50O.00 per quarter sec,
ton, we could construct such roads
as our state roads now are, around
every section of land in Stevens coun,
! ty, so that every farmer could trave
north, south, east or west on good
dry dirt road, the wonder is ths
steps are not Immediately taken t.
bring it about.
Think what it would add to the
value of these farms.
The cost would be trifle ovel
$500 per acre.
What would the added value pei
acre actually be?
Ask the man who now lives upo1
one of our State Roads what h
would give to retain that road if i
we're about to be taken from him
am not pleading the cause of tht
automobile road-the hard" roat
contemplated by the State Highwa!
| Commission a1th0u0h believe in
that proposition, and sincerely HOPE
that everything will be done to bring
that about.
But I want particularly to plead
the cause of the average farmer whC
is entitled to a good road to his farm
who would be willing to pay for it
