ah highway between Alliance and
Antloch report that the larger por
tions of the road are In good condl

three miles out of the sixteen be
tween the two cities, automobiles
can travel very easily. A little drag

the weather permits will put the road
lae exellent shape for traveling.
Since the completion of the grade to
Hoffiand, It has been much easier to

many of the hills and sandy spits
'Which were encountered before the
