teams, traction engines, scrapors, road
drags and all other necessary parapher
nalia, will simultaneously bo at work on
the highway between Norfolk, Neb.,
and White River, S. Dak., a distance of
nearly 250 miles. Tho most of this
routo is in naturally good condition,
having boeh evidently intended by the
Almighty especially for automobile
travel, and tho work of tho "crows"
will be devoted to tho few places where
it is needed, tho idea being to mako
the entire routo as nearly a perfoct
boulevard as possible. Culverts and
bridges will bo placed in where necess
ary, "high centers" will be eliminated,
grades will bo widened and "chuck
holes" abolished. The work is in charge
of tho leading businoss men in each
community, a "boss" having been
selected in each town through which
the routo is to pass, whose duty it is to
organize nn army with which to make
the road perfect in his district on that
