FINE NEW COUNTRY
TO BE OPENED UP

ga Marquette county route, the Ish-
peming Iron Ore editor says:
Marquette county is going to build
a fine road through wonderful coun-
try in the region to the. north of Ish-
peming. It is going to connect with
the Baraga county trunk line high
way. In the Yellow Dog, Huron
Bay, Big Bay and Lake Independence
sectionsthere are wonderful bits Of
scenery that are going to be much
praised by tourists in the years to
come. There are also valuable hard
wood tracts which, when shorn Of the
timber, will be fine for farming pur-
poses for sheep growing and dairy
purposes. The highway is, going to
cost more than a million to construct,
and the State Of Michigan is going to
help along substantially in the cost,
as it will be trunk line highway.
Seventeen miles Of it will be of con-
crete, north from Negaunee to Dead
River, and thence on to the city of
Marquette. There are rivers and
creeks and lakes along the way.
County Road Engineer X. 4. Sawyer,
who is superintendent Of the road
commission, has recently returned
from Lansing where he went to OBJ
tain Marquette county's share Of the
$50, 0,000,0 900 we voted for good roads
last spring. And he finally succeed
ed in arranging for it, not without
some effort, however, because many
other counties were also seeking
monies from this state fund, rhd
some of them had an idea they were
about all there was to the state Of
Michigan. Some people are made up
like that, you know. But Mr.. Saw
yer, able as a road expert and talk
ing well on road subjects, held for
his rights and obtained them. So
he came home well pleased with the
result Of his trip, and the taxpayers
Of Marquette county were mighty
fortunate in having such an able rep
resentative looking after their road
appropriations.
This new highway, when complet-
ed, as it will be within the next five
years, will be the finies scenically in
the northwest. 1t will be a great
drive over which every visitor and
resident will want to 60, and going,
will want to 60 again.
And we want to repeat our sug-
gestion that the beautiful woods lin
ing this and other highways in Glow.
erland be maintained, kept clear Of
underbrush so as to lessen the dan
ger Of fire, and made to welcome the
thousands who will travel over these
splendid ways. Also preserve the
wild life, the deer, beaver, grouse
rabbits, song birds, everything that
will be, rare in other portions Of the
United States. Make these things
permanent assets of Cloverland
This isl the time to do it. These
hills and valleys, lakes and rivers
deer and beaver and other animals
and the birds, coupled with our glor-
ious summer air will attract thou
sands and thousands Of people to this
region. Don't underestimate the
great travel that is to come our way
or its value to the people of this re.
gion.
