Both Upper Highways 13 and 10
have formed associations for the
purpose Of collectively boosting
their highways in order to secure
tourist traffic and business in
their sections. This has led the
live fellows from this section, from
below Amigo up to Watersmeet to
also get going and at a minimum
cost Just raise thunder" in sys-
tematic handling Of our resources.
At the Amigo meeting c. A.
C@mes and Mr.. Custer of the
Northwestern railroad were in at
tendance and gave us the assurance
mat when next year rolled around
the people of this section would
nave no kick coming on train ser
wee Just what the Northwestern
has up their sleeve is not known,
but we are led to believe that this
section Of the Ashland division will
nave super train service; and there
might be something to it that an
oiled or dustless roadbed for added
comfort in travel might be a pos
SIolIlty. Anyhow the highways and
The railroad are going to be work
VIII double our advertising advan-
tages.
The new association is a peculiar
one in formation; it pulls no
money for membership or anything
else from the pockets of the resort
or business men. All it wants of
You is to become identified with it
and get into the boosting harness
with your personal representation
and muscle.
