The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-02-05

Several members Of the Mercer
county delegation appeared before the
committee to speak in favor of tho
bridge at Stanton. The contention
they submitted was that the bridge
would make possible direct east
and west state Highway by intercon-
nection of highways 8. and 25.
There is no federal aid road west Of
the river that connects directly with
highways going east, they stated, and
declared that at Washburn or Elbo-
woods no direct highway connections
would be possible.

Cruising the Mediterranean
Monte Carlo to Genoa

Nothing so promotes respect for and
pride in our own wonderfully managed
railroads as Il few adventures with
European lines. From Monte Carlo to
Paris nightly sleeper is run, and
many, in the American manner,
planned to save u day by taking that
train. But il was discovered that so
few sleepers were carried that in or
der tn save day tourist would have
to wait week or two for reserva-
tons. True, we were not bound for
Paris, but the railway situation looked
difficult and we were n bit worried
until the patriarchal Master of the
Keys assured us that the hotel would
make all arrangements for us on the
de luxe train to Genoa, our destina-
ton.
Having breakfasted in u leisurely
manner we boarded the hotel bus and
rolled Off to the station. Some ticket
had been secured anu though there
seemed to be no definite reservations
the bus driver lead us To believe all
would be well. At the station an I'M
posing committee consisting of an
English-speaking railroad agent. Il bag
gage man, the head porter and AN
assistant presented themselves and Of.
fered all possible assistance. All I'M
easiness about foreign travel vanished
and with our baggage we established
ourselves on the platform to await
the train. Presently the expected ears
pulled in and u few passengers
mounted hastily and doors were
clapped shut and before our ast0nished
eyes the train de luxe resumed its way
while our efficient" troupe ran aim
lessly up and down the platform. Our
spirits wilted us we helplessly saw
faces of friends at the windows of the
departing train. Like shipwrecked
mariners we watched our hope of es-
cape vanish, and with utter despair
collapsed on the nearest bench.
Finally there was some mention of
a second train and "a lot of trotting
around to try to do the impossible, to
find any one who knew definitely when
any of the trains ran. There was u
second train and as we heard the puff
ing of the engine we dashed forward
with the four "valuabp" assistants
following us. The running around
started again and in desperation we
started putting our own baggage on
at the only door we could find open.
Eventually we were aboard and
breathed a sigh of relief as we were
placed in an elaborate compartment
for which we paid no extra fee be-
cause we disclaimed all knowledge Of
French.
But our troubles were not yet over.
We had scarcely gathered our seat
tered wits when the train stopped and
all passengers had to dsmount to pass
through the Ventimiglia customs.
There ensued great rushing and
pushing and pulling and Juggling and
stepping on toes, all accompanied by
babbling and shouting as the bearers
of Scandinavian. Austrian, French.
