Promised For

Twenty-one million dollars were
spent In improving the Theodore
Roosevelt highway during the last
year. according to Information given
out by P: ]. Barry, one OF four repre-
sentatives, who have spent the week
in Grand Forks.
While this work was. Of course. not
done directly by the association, it
is pointed out that much OF it was put
through as a result OF tho Roosevelt
Highway associations agitation and
efforts. !.
It. is because the highway .associa-
ton desires to e more improvements
made along it's route that Mr.. Barry
his associates are here to line up
the support of the interests which de-
rive benefits from better roads and
the added tourist trade they will bring
to the city. .
In addition to Mr.. Barry the party
consists OF T. j. Luche. r. A. Wright
and r. Wilson. These men have can
vassed a number OF local business
firms and have received encouraging
support, Following a brief absence
during the holidays, the party will
return and continue their efforts in
tinuing on west until the entire, dis
lance has been covered.
The Theodore Roosevelt highway
extends from Portland, Maine, to
Portland, Oregon. 1t follows the
southern side OF the Canadian border
o of the way, he exception being
a strip of about three hundred miles
through Ontario, Canada thus max
ing it an international proposition.

veal it is expected that 1922 will see
considerably more progress made
along the route. The association will
continue to encourage grading and
paving improvements and tourist tray

Montana's future greatness Will be
