AT a meeting of the directors of
the Sank Centre Community Club
Monday evening it was decided to
entertain 20 newspaper men from
Chicago, Milwaukee and the Twin
Cities who are making a bus trip
over the National Parks Highway
from Chicago to the Yellowstone
National Park and return, as
guests of the National Parks High
way Association.
Those to whom invitations have
been extended include: Chicago
Motor Club, Auto Club of Illinois,
North Side Motor Club, Chicago
Tribune, Herald Examiner, Daily
News and Journal, and Sentinel.
st. Paul Pioneer Press, Consolidat.
ed Information Bureau and St.
Paul Assn. Minneapolis, Civic and
Commerce Gateway Bureau,
Journal and Tribune. The party
of nineteen will make the tour in
one of the Royal Blue Line tour
ing buses, equipped for comfort
on long trips. Night stops will be
made at Madison, Wis, Winona
and Osakis, Mimi, Mandan and
Medora, N. OAK, Miles City and
livingston, Mont.
The schedule as first drafted
called for the entertaining of this
group of publicists at dinner at
st. Cloud at 80 P. M, as the in
vitation of the st. Cloud Civic or
ganization had been condition
ally accepted. Sank Centre put
in a strong bid for the honor and
Secretary Tracy of the National
Parks Highway Association final
ly yielded over protest of st.
Cloud. The revised schedule will
materially shorten the stay in the
Granite City and make the stay in
this city much longer. The orig
inal schedule only called for Is
minute stop in this city. The par
ty will arrive in Sank Centre at
600 o'clock p. M, Tuesday, Aug.
30th. They will be served fried
spring chicken dinner at the Com
munity Club rooms promptly at
$50.
1t is the wish of the officers of
the Club that as many Club mem
bers as possible partake of this
dinner. The. cover charge will be
S1.00 per plate. The program will
be adequate. Those who desire to
attend the dinner must make their
reservations either with John III !.
Hanson, Secretary of the Club, at
the Merchants National Bank, or
with V. G. Wedge, chairman of
the clubs banquet committee.
Sank Centre people should be
particularly interested in the sue
cess of the National Parks High
way. This trail is from coast to
coast and more people are brought
into Minnesota over the National
Parks Highway than over any 9th
or trail. Naturally these visitors
touring the Northwest must pass
through this city.
In the early spring of 1926
Federal Highway No. 10 S., was
routed over the National Parks
Highway through Sank Centre.
This route was first located from
st. Cloud, through Little Falls
and on to Moorenead. The Off
GERS of the National Parks High
way got busy with Highway Com
missioner Babcock to the end that
ne recommend that Federal High
way No. 10 be split into a north
and south route at st. Cloud !.
That is how Sank Centre happens
to be on Federal Highway No. 10
S. The two routes converge at
Moorehead and traverse the bal
ance. of, the way to the coast over
the National Parks Highway.
Sank Centre is one of the few
cities in Minnesota to have the
privilege of entertaining this dis
tinguished party. They will leave
Sank Centre later in the evening
and will be taken to Osakis where
they will be overnight and break
fast guests of A. R. Ruggles, pro-
prietor of the Idlewilde hotel.
The tourists leave Chicago
Aug. %. The purpose of the tour
is to acquaint the newspaper men
and traffic superintendent of the
many advantages of the National
Parks Highway Association over
those and other routes reaching
from coast to coast.
It is expected that Mayor l..
w. Whitson, W.. M. Parker OF
the Community Club and Asa M !.
Wallace, will meet the tourists at
st. Cloud and return with them in
the bus to, Sank Sank Centre. Sew
eral gentlemen from Osakis will
meet the party at Sank Centre and
convey them to that town where
they will spend the balance of the
night.
