THE NEW FEDERAL HIGHWAY

The new federal road which will join
the dysinith-Hayward highway at
Radisson will probably lie completed
next summer. 1t will connect Raids
son with Winter and Draper and
finally meet another branch of the fed
eral road at Fifield As a great deal of
work has already been done along the
route it is hoped the highway will he
opened by next summer.
Connecting Winter and Radisson by
this chosen route has been the ambi-
tion of land men and road builders and
the work in that direction was begun
as long ago as 1911 when one and one
half miles was built east of the Chip
pewa near Radisson The money for
the road at. that time was raised by
special election and the road was made
part of the county system. Last year
it became part of the state system and
finally. when it was made part of the
federal system last month";. m V
dreams and ambitions came true
