MUST lMl'ltUVK HIGHWAY OR LOSK AUTO TltAYEL C. M, Trotter, who arrived from Omaha yestorday by auto, is of tho opinion that unless tho pcoplo along tho Lincoln Highway uotweon Grand Island and North Platto Improvo tho road conditions tho O. L. D. route through tho south part of tho state will got all tho tourist travol. Mr. Trottor drovo over part of tho O. L. D. and found it far superior to the Lin coln Highway. Mr. Trottor says tho greatest fault ilea In not dragging tho roads; that if tho Lincoln High way was dragged as thoroughly and as often as tho O. L. D. routo it would bo equal or superior to the latter. In talking with Commissioner Sprin ger, who whs in town yesterday after a road-vlowlng trip in his district, wo learn that it is impossible) to got farm ors to lcavo ther farm work and drag roads, although seventy conta nn hour Is offered for that work. In driving over tho roads in tho valley wo havo found that whore roads aro dragged regularly they are Invariably in good condition, and wo bollovo that as a general proposition dragging Is tho only solution to the good roads question. Tho autuo tourist season is at hand and cortalnly some concerted action should bo takon toward getting tho Lincoln Highway in tho Bhapo that will mrrant its continued use.
