BIG SCHEME FOR
ROAD development
How Marion County Can Secure Final
Relief Over the Dixie Highway
Problem---Daylight Ahead for
the Taxpayers of Marion

Fifty thousand dollars to get rid of the Dixie Highway
thru Marion County.
That is the proposition now, and singulary appeals
to and to ali tax-fearing
The proposition is for Marion County to advance
$4,000 to the State Highway Department, which will
add thereto $3.50 900 of State and National funds maxi
ing fund of $2OOOOO which is estimated will build
AZ miles of hard-surfaced road, the Dixie Highway
in Marion county from the Franklin county line to
the Hamilton county line via Suck Creek.
This road will then be the property of the State and
will be maintained by the State by of the automo
bile accrung JAM /, 1920 and thereafter.
vided under recent enactment of the legislature.
Marion County will then be relieved of the maintenance
of foryseven miles, which, far, has been consuming
nearly one-thrd of funds of county in fee
BILE effort to maintain it.
The bridges will also be kept up by the State and
siderable money saved for the county thereby
there many bridges the route, of them of
considerable size and requiring many feet of expensive
lumber for re-flooring.
To this fund proposed either pledge the
State the $4,000 due annually from of funds for road
purposes in default of that borrow the money thru
the four banks of the county, issuing time warrants
therefor and fast of money for the Pike Road Fund
i'm take up those warrants and thus the inter-
est
Another point When the $50 900 Is paid off by these
warrants, of the Pike Road tax would automatic
ally cease and the taxpayers would find abate
ment in their of this much and could heave sigh
of relief For like the Kilkenny cats there wouldn't be
much of any pike road left to keep up.
And still another advantage The present road equip
belonging county could then be used in build
ing the other roads of the county which sadly in
need Improvement there practically being improve
ment to them in years.
tbs great scheme and will make revolution in road
building in Marion County
I'm opinion it is splendid opportunity for the suf-
and forever and the fifty thousand dollars thus
SPENT consider would be cheap ridance. Every
payer should interview his member of County Court
garng this and urge him accept this method of get
ting the Dixie Highway completed'and disposed of.
The Court will it's July term consider the matter and
we hope will accept the proposition and order the money
secured
The proposition formulated at meeting of Dixie
fore the State Highway Commission in Nashville last
week and is subject, however, to endorsement by the
federal road authorities too late federal
aid this year under general except by special arrange
ment.

HONOR OLD FRIEND
Black Hills Pioneers Name High
Peak for Roosevelt.
At It's Summit Cairn Fifty Feet
High, Constructed Of BoWiders Of
Native Granite, Has Been
Erected.

On July 4 the Black hills pioneers
honorcd the memory of the late Colo
mel Roosevelt by naming for him the
highest peak in the Black hills. Timed
10 take place during Homecoming
week for DeadWOod and other Black
hills communities, this ceremony was
"A manifestation Of the affection which
all the residents Of that section of the
country felt for Colonel Roosevelt.
The peak which will hcnceforth be
known as Mount Theodore Roosevelt
was called Sheep mountain or Round
Top. 1t Is detached cmincnce with
an elevation of 6,0pO feet, three miles
from Deatwood, Is miles from Wyo-
ming and 80 miles from the Montana
state line. 1t Is on the Black Hills
forest reserve, and will be the center
OF bird and game refuge also leli-
Gated to the memory of the cX-presl-
dent.
All that section of the country has
been intimately associated with vari-
Gus periods in the life of Colonel
Roosevelt The peak which now bears
his name oyerlooks the foothills and
valleys of the northern Black hills
where the colonel hunted buffalo. In
sight from the summit are his cattle
range and his trail to Dcadwood, as
well as sections Of Wyoming and Mon
tnnn whore he trailed cattle In his
cowboy days. Glimpscs of The Belle
Fourche, the RedWatcr and other
streams flowing down the valleys at
tract the spectator. The peak and the
territory around it are now embraced
in the Belle Fourche irrigation project
which Colonel Roosevelt advocated
when president. This is making an
arid prairie over into fertile farming
country.
The people of Dcadwood built at the
summit of the mountain Cairn 30 feet
high of powders of native granite. I.
A. Brown of SpcnrtiSh one of the colo
