luth, Min, the head of the Great

able efforts this Roosevelt highway

The year of 1919 witnessed the or
ganization of the Theodore Roosevelt
international highway association at
Duluth, MINI. The proposal, which
was made at a meeting of the Duluth
commercial club, to lay out a trans
continental highway that would lead
through the richest and most scenic
section of North America, and at the
same time be a fitting memorial in
scope and character to the late The
odore Roosevelt, met with instant IA
vor in every northern state in the I'M
ion and the province of Ontario in
Canada.
The national association has named
three purposes for it's existence:
/. The stimulation of travel in the
territory served by the highwaq.
q. The improvement of the system
O froads incorporated as the highway.
3. The establishment of a fitting
and permanent memorial to the late
Theodore Roosevelt.
Consistent with the general purpos-
es of the national association, the
North Dakota state division and Mon
tana state division have dedicated
their efforts to the following p%rinci-
pal detectives:
First.-The pursuit of a consistent
road development program, making
possible the production of a greater
diversity of agricultural products, and
emphasizing the Buy at Home" prin-
ciple.
Second.-The attraction of travel
into our territory to increase through
out the nation a wide acquaintance
with our agricultural and industrial!
opportunities.
Third.-To attract additional outside
money to our territory.
Fourth.-The stimulation of a
greater travel to Glacier National
Park. In fact, to so feature Glacier
park as to make it one of the prin-
cipal attractions and arguments for
travelling the Theodore Roosevelt
highway through the state.
Fifth.-To diligently seek at the
earliest possible date the construction
of a road through the recently re-
named Roosevelt Pass between Gla-
cier station and Bolton.

state division of the Roosevelt high
