TRIANGLE cos SUCCESS MEANS
VERY MUCH TO STATE OF MICH.
DEPARTMENT APPEALED TO
Mr.. Shutz Fears That Delay in Con.
structing The New Line win
lmperiI Projects Success

The delay I'm construction of Trunk
Line No. go is liable 10 have n very
serious effect upon the future OF the
triangle Ranch. In fact much OF the
success OF this venture depends up
on the securing OF road facilities
The fact that the state adopted Route
SO as trunk line was one OF the
main influences that decided the
Triangle people TO start business in
Hematite township.
When they started their ranch work
a year ago IL was confidently expect
ed that the road would be ready for
use as soon as the ranch got firmly
established. For that reason the COM
pany started in on an extensive scale.
They set apart group OF $500 acres
for Ranch No. l. Route No. 50 ira
verses this tract for distance OF a
bout four miles. The company built
about IL miles OF wire fence last year
and has material on the ground for
constructing 23 miles more the COM
ing summer.
In addition, permanent headquarters
have been established AZ point a
bout two miles distant from Route
SO on road which Hematite town
ship will start to construct this sum
mer. The ranch is located four miles
north OF Amasa and Is reached now
only by winding tote road up the
Hemlock river valley that is almost
impossible in the spring, fall and
winter.
Needs Highway to Develop
In discussing the subject with a
reporter for The Diamond Drill last
Wednesday, Mr.. Schultz said, I'VE will
be severely hampered in our devel-
opment unless we get this highway
for an outlet. When we started work
on Ranch No. l We were given to un-
derstand that Route SO would be
built right away We expected that
by the time We got we'll established
the road would be useable at least az
far as our ranch.
"For that reason we went In at a
last year. We have to haul all of
our supplies over roal that is moth
ing more than woods supply road.
This makes construction work expen-
sive and discouraging. II we had this
new road we would be able TO oper-
ate at half the expense that We are
under present conditions.
"The eyes OF the entire west are
centered upon this undertaking OF
ours. II IL makes good, Michigan VIII
reap a return from IL that Is unesti-
mable at the present time. We In
tend 10 develop another ranch furth-
er along on Route SO just as soon as
Ranch No. is on sound basis. We
are pouring money into this venture
and We feel that the people OF Michi-
gan ought 10 lend us a helping hand
In the way OF roads to get TO our
place OF business.
II fear that the people done really
appreciate what this great undertake
ing OF ours means to Michigan. IL they
did there would be no let-up on their
part until the road was secured.
have written to the state highway
commissioner and | feel that he will
do as well as he can by us but we
must have some help on the part o.
the public, also"
No Small Fry Undertaking
Mr.. Schultz statement that He
fears the people don't appreciate what
this big undertaking means for Mich
igan" is. we believe. correctly stat
ed. People don't realize what an n
mount Of money Il takes 10 put this
ranch into condition. Just think OF 3r
miles OF well constructed wire fence,
add TO u 1900 acres OF stumped land
thoroughly cleared and put under cul-
