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.
