~" TRAIL OPENED

A number Of workmen were en-
gagged Monday to open that part
of the "U' trail located in Stearns
county. Since that work was COM
pleted the crew has been working
on other roads leading into Sank
Centre. The necessity of keeping
the roads open during this winter
has been a problem for this COM
munity. Ways and means for better
work along this line during the
next winter are now under advise
ment, and no doubt, a plan for bet
ter snow removal will result from
the Investigations being made by
members of the City Council.
