eled and put in splendid condition"
Collins, J.. e. Riggs-"We have
made a survey of the road, and find
| that by Strengthening it We can save
a half mile in distance and bring it
! through the city. The report hat Col
Inns would not be on the highway has
aroused us, and, with it on the trail,
you can depend that we will do all in
our power to improve it"
Brady, F. F. Lewis-"Despite bad
crops of recent years, Brady residents
are not discouraged. They will be
found among the workers for the
Sunshine trail"
Conrad, l.. A. Sollid-"I see this as
but the beginning. There will be a
time when a road will lead north from
Lethbridge to Calgary. to Dawson. to
Fairbanks. Taft and Anchorage. That
trail will be the Sunshine trail
Cusses Tco!e County Roads
Sunburst. P. r. Gorham-"We don't
write about Toole county roads,
There's government regulations on
what goes through the mails. But
/ every ~able-bodied man who can use
cuss words talks about our roads. We
want better roads and will work Tor
them"
Sweetgrass. Douglas ParkAr-'We
have always believed that what We
needed was a good north and south
highway through Toole county. We
will back this one"

and to Lethbridge and Great Falls"

the province several tractors drawing
modern road graders. They have Gu
costs in two. To have an all-weathel
road, it must be graded high. Neither
the provincial roads nor those of thu
American side have been graded hlgl
enough. We are now e~ndeavoring t.
}, have the dominion highway require
ments lessened so that we may b.
eligible for the 40 per cent road ex
pense fund of the dominion govern
ment.

You as a people have established your
selves. We have yet a long way of de
velopment to travel. l note that Mon

Alberta has about 10000 cars. To

traffic, shuts off business from com
