MAY HAVE NEW HIGHWAY
Golden Belt-Unisn Pacific d Propos.
ed Through Abilene

Golden Beit-Unien Pacific 10 Propos-
ed Througis Abilene
r. X. Brooks Of Winona was here
meeting the leading motorists In the
interest Of a new highway to be
logged, marked and given publicity
through log books, etc. He repre-
sents the Union Pacific Highway
which now extends along the Union
Pacific from Oakley to Denver ana
Cheyenne. The Golden Belt turns
north at Oakley 10 Colby and fol-
lows the Rock Island to Limon when
1t, too, is along the Union Pacific to
Denver. The distance from Oakley
to Hmon is about the same either
way but the southern route claims
the better road.
Little interest has been taken In
the Golden Belt for three or four
years and the marking Is delapidat-
ed. The Union Pacific highway
bunch, Mr., Brooke says, has raised
several thousand dollars for road I'M
proyement and advertising and pro-
poses to mark and promote the new
line following the Golden Belt from
Kansas City to Oakley and thence
along the Union Pacific to Denver.
He claims that Abilene territory
loses much travel by reason OF east
bound tourists going east from Col
BY over the two other roads that
enter that town, when they should be
brought to this route. A meeting
will be called soon to inaugurate the
new highway. The marker VIII DE
the U. P. shield with a yellow band
or the letters &c. B." It is claimed
that fasteners from their familiar
ity with the Union Pacific will be
attracted this way by the new name
to a greater extent than Golden
Belt" which is less known outside
Of Kansas.
