IIeSlueHI II. T.. JOIeS OF Cne MOn-
tana organization of the Roosevelt
Memorial Highway Association, an
nounces that meeting of the board
of directors of that organization will
be held at Chinook on Wednesday,
November 18th.
The purpose Of this meeting is to
take up those matters now pending,
and outline course of procedure for
the year 1921. One of the more i'm
portant features of the meeting next
Wednesday will be the making of
definite arrangements for the issuance
at very early date Of the elaborate
guide book for the Highway as pro
posed some several months ago by the
national Association.
This guide book has been explained
from time to time in the different
newspapers of the northern part of
the state, and when completed will
constitute absolutely the most unique
effort of its sort ever yet accomplished.
The state organization has contracted
for 5000 of these booklets. The COW
ers and map insertions for these have
already been received by Mr.. Jones.
The state organization will super.
intend the printing and publishing of
the descriptive matter which will ac-
company these. AS has been explained
heretofore, each and every town on the
highway will be allotted a certain
amount of space, explaining the local
advantages, industries, etc., and to
this will, of course be added complete
log of the road from town to town,
thus combining service to the tourist
and an advertising medium for the
community.
The data for this particular part of
the undertaking has been completed
and the matter will be sent to the
printer just as soon as the meeting at
Chinook has convened.
There are other different matters
to be taken up, such as for instance,
the possibility of securing the services
of a field man for Montana whose duty
it will be to traverse the highway in
montana on a tour of inspection Of
the road through this state. This of
ficial will point out to the proper auth
critics in each and every county those
strips of road that need particular
attention, to the extent that they be
placed in condition for tourist traffic.
The road has been we'll marked
through Montana by Mr.. Orval Mason
of Glasgow.
Since the inception of the organizs..
tion almost year ago, the Montanan
unit has established a record, in that
greater interest in the construction
and maintenance of the highway has
been manifest in this state than in
any other that it traverses.
The meeting of the national direct
ors of the association will convene at
Duluth on November goth. To this
meeting the Montana organization will
send one representative. At this time
the plans are that there he started the
most intensive campaign of consruc-
tion and advertising that has ever
been waged by any highway associa-
tion in the United States.
The officers are confident that with
the interest now manifest coupled with
the enormous scenic advantages of the
territory traversed, the Roosevelt
Highway is destined to ultimately be
the greatest of all national highways.
