FINE ROAD WORK
NOW BEING DONE

Road work in Barnes county is be-
ing pushed to completion. Several
different projects are under way. The
owell-Curren Co., have just started
on the 71a mile contract near
Sanborn and are running two graders.
Walt Mcdonald is pushing his job
near the Noltimier school house, and
has about IA miles yet to go. The
work of running the road under the
500 line east of town is going forward,
and the Tower City road is graded and
ready for the gravel. With favorable
weather these various jobs will be fin
ished by winter. The Stevens Con-
struction Co. Of St. Paul have the con-
tract FOR grading the North Star trail
from Fingal to Valley City, and are
already this side of Cuba. This is said
to be a very fine piece Of work. Ow-
ing to the heavy traffic over the Heinz
es road, it would seem to be only a
question of time when this road will
have to- be hard surfaced. No dirt
road will stand up very long under the
heavy demands made on this road. The
Rogers Wimbledon road has all been
put in fine shape, and also from Hast
ings to Valley City, the road is all inn
proved. The road from 8the south
county line into Kathryn was COM
nleted this spring, and the Witten-
bach company is now doing some
county work in the Rogers vicinity,
cutting down some heavy grades near
the 500 tracks. The county also
Strengthened out the line north from
Fifth avenue, and fixed the approach

One of our golf bugs who has the
habit of going out early to play few

got out to the links at $3.50 a. m. and

body count the number of people who
use the links in one day. It certainly
