Another Midnorthern we'll on the
Wildschutz tract is expected to come

cemented into the rock, to resume
drilling it is now expected.

A candidate for public favor in the
way of a transcontinental highway is
the I. R. l. Highway from Portland,
Maine, to Portland, Oregon, says the
Modern Highway.
The international part of the name

but the appropriateness of the blood

Before the grass springs for the
second time by the tomb of Roosevelt.
history is adjusting itself to the in
evitable-the necessity of granting to
this great mar a place in American
and world history second to none in
versatility, initiative, integrity of pur-
pose and true patriotism.
Those who have set themselves the
task-shall we say the joyful task of
promoting-a highway fit to comment
crate his memory, extending from one
boundary to the other of the land be-
loved so much, should have for their
work an inspiration and an example
which should be invincible.
If perchance the course of the high
way is international in it's course 1T
simply exemplifies in that the catholic
nature of Theodore Roosevelt's char
acter, for while America was his home
the world will be recipient of his
achievements.
Here is hoping and trusting that
those who have undertaken to honor
his memory in this enterprise will push
it to a successful and early conclusion
with a broad-minded integrity of pur-
pose worthy of their patron saint.

WHAT HARD SURFACED ROADS
MEAN TO THE MOTORIST

Senator p. H. McGarey, author of
the Minnesota Babcock highway bill,
which will mean the expenditure of
500, 100000 for hard s~urfacing the
highways of that state, has the follow
ing to say of the advantages of hard
%surfacing of the highways and the saw
ing it will NEAR to automobiles:
an those sections of the United
States where they have hard roads,"
declared the senator. 'they think that
a tire is a fake and a fraud if it will
not run at least 1000 miles. On these
gravel roads of ours what is the life
of a tire? We think that 5000 miles
is a long life.
"You will find, if you investigate,
that three times as much mileage is
possible from a gallon of gas on hard
roads as on gravel or dirt. Not only
that, but you will get ten times as
much pulling power from your gas.
What / want you to think ABOUT is
that you will save one-half of your en-
tire operating expense by the use of
hard roads, and increase the life of
your car"

best in many markets and the future
of this work is attractive. Some local
tiles are taking up dairying. some
sheep farming and some prefer hog
raising. The future of each project is
in the making and we may expect to
hear from each as having accomplished
something distinctive along a%gricultur-
al lines.
In these days when the nation is
counting its and learning its
fighting strength the Northwest
Empire may with particular pride
enumerate fertile, productive valleys
where a generation ago were arid
wastes; railways and highways where
there was the bison trail to the salt
lick and the water hole; schools,
churches and mercantile houses where
there were cacti and sage brush; and
the hum of the reaper and the laughter
of children where were the howl of the
coyote and the hiss of the RATHER.
In 1908 say the first settlers dunn
their household and farm equipment
on a Wyoming semi-desert. That little
community has now sent an entire
company into the National Army, has
bought thousands of dollars in Liberty
hordS. has done more than its per cap
tia share in supporting the Red Cross,
and this year produced nearly a million
dollars worth of crops as its contribu-
ton toward feeding the nation and
those in the world friendly toward US.
The irrigation ditch created in that
Wyoming community, and likewise in
hundreds of others, is a national asset
which is perpetually and increasingly
fruitful and is permanent.

G. n. RESTORES HOME
SEEKERS SPECIAL RATES
Round trip fare from St. Paul to Glas-
Cow Will Be $35. Malta $3.50,
and Hayre SAG. 90.

A decisive step toward normally
was taken by the Great Northern
railway in announcing it will restore
h~omeseeker'S rates to Northwest
points along it's line from St. Paul.
These rates have not been in effect OH
any railway since they were abolished
Great Northern railway is the first
road to restore them.
Speaking of the effect of this restor-
alton of the homeseeker's rates, E. C.
Leedy, general supervisor of agricul-
ture for the Great Northern railway,
today said, ut means that there will
be a resumption of the influx of home
seekers from middle western states in
to the Northwest. Our organization
of travelling lecturers who take the
northwest to the middle western far
mers in the form of moving pictures,
stereoptican slides and oral effort,
cannot complete their land missionary
work until they take these farmers to
the Northwest to see the country. The
restoration of the h~omeseekers' rates
will enable the farmers of the middle
west to come to the Northwest and see
with their own eyes the opportunity
that awaits them in that fertile terri
tory"
For a little more than a one way
fare the homeseeker again a travel
to the various points and return to
St. Paul. These round trip homeseek-
ers' rates will be effective the first
and third Tuesday each month from
April to October of this year, inclu-
sive, to points on the Great Northern
railway in North Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, and Washington as far west as
Wenatchee and Oroville. There will
be no homeseekers' rate to Canadian
destinations, as "America First" is
the slogan of the Great Northern rail-
way. One these rates there will be a
final return limit of twenty-one days
from the date of sale, requiring vail
dation at the destination or any inter
mediate point.
Round trip fares from st. Paul and
Minneapolis will be: to Glasgow, Mont
$500; to Malta, $3.50; to Havre
$4,000; to Great Falls. Lewistown
Broadwiew, Conrad and Shelby $4,000,
to Columbia Falls, Kalispell anc
Whitefish, $4,000. Corresponding rate:
to other intermediate destinations.
The round trip homeseekers' rates
from st. Paul to North Dakota points
are: New Rockford, $3.50; Devil,
Lake $500; Minot $25.O0; Willistor
$27.50.
To points in Minnesota between St
Hilaire and Warroad and between
Euclid and Hayyock the round trir
homeseekers' fare from st. Paul will
be $21 90.

Montana has the right vision of the

The Montana State organization has
been instrumental in having the name

Action was also taken looking to the
completion of this pass for automobile

January 18th.
Delegates were present from virtu-

towns touched by the highway across |
