Milbank Cut from Yellowstone Trail.

During the past two months of
bad weather the Yellowstone Trail
roads thru the county have been in
poor condition and in places prac-
tically impossible. The weekly
bulletin which the Yellowstone
Trail association issues from their
headquarters at Minneapolis has cut
this city from the routing entirely,
sending the tourists straight west
from Big Sto1e City Is miles to
Marvin and from the west straight
east. This is deplorable circum-
stance, but the association is not to
be blamed and surely the tourists
do not want to be mired in mud
holes for hours.
The road has dried considerably
in the past week and with the holes
filled up it will be in good condi-
tion and it is hoped that the city
will be put back on the map with
out delay.

Local Bureau TO Join State Fedora.
ton.

At meeting of the directors Of
the county farm bureau it was
voted to join the state organization
and a drive for membership was
started.
This decision was arrived at
after considerable discussion and
will be large step forward. The
affiliation with the state federation
automatically affiliates them with
the national organization and each
member will derive the benefits
from both organizations.
The farm bureau now has a MEM
bership of 32l and drive will be
started to add many more members
to the list. Every farm owner is
eligible to join and should do 80 if
he is not a member now. Further
information and details Of the drive
can be had from the county agent,
Mr.. Swift.

MILBANKERS HELP
REPAIR co. ROADS
STORES AND OFFICES CLOSED TUESDAY AT
NOON AND CITY WORKERS WENT ROAD
BuII FOR BALANCE OF DAY

Businessmen, clerks, hiredmen,
bows, retired farmers and everyone
turned out big for the first Good
Roads, lay Of the season last Tues
day. More than 100 men were
mustered in from Milbank. nearly
SO from Marvin. a larger number
from Albee and the other towns Of
the county. The worst holes in the
main travelled roads were filled and
it is now possible to travel to any
part of the county.
The Good Roads day was started
by the Booster association to help
pvt the roads in shape. 1t was
heartily entered into and supported
by the businessmen of the city and
farmers of the country. Trucks,
scrapers. teams and wagons were
loaned to the crews. Five large
automobile trucks hauled the gravel
from the pits along the roads out
of Milhank. The Marvin crews
had about 100 wagons. scrapers and
teams to help with the work.
The Yellowstone Trail is now re-
ported to be in good condition all
Of the way thru the county. The
bad holes west of the city were fill
ed, one of which took seven big
loads of gravel to fill.
The road to Corona was marked
with signs. pointing the way to
Milbank, with mileage distances to
all of the cities along the trail. 1t
is the start of the effort to send the
King Of Trails road thru South
Dakota north along the lake instead
of sending tourists east to Orton.

sofa X. T. The bad places along
the road were also filled in. The
Hartford Beach road, the north
road to Twin Brooks, the Yellow
stone Trail east and west, the road
to Albee. and the King of Trails to
LaBolt were the roads worked up
on. Some of the crews went long
distances out IN the country, others
found plenty of work within few
miles filling in the low places.
Marvin crews worked all day and
the ladies of the town and country
Joined hands and furnished picnic
dinner for the workers at the
Kinkey grove outside of the town.
Ice cream was on the bill of fare
and every one enjoyed it immensely
according to reports of the men
who shared in the labors.
In some cities the good roads day
is an annual or semiannual event
and it would not be bad plan to
do the same here. The spirit with
which everyone entered into the
work shows that the necessity of
good roads is recognized and until
we have hard surfaced roads we
will have to spend a great number
of hours keeping the roads in
shape.
