Malcolm MacKinnon, of Rockford, 111., secre tary of the Grant Highway Associa lN.v tion, was present and delivered an address se'.tin; forth the plans for the develorment of a direct route of t avel and eventually a paved road all the way from Chicago to the Pacific Coast, which will also serve as the 1 sst and shortest route from the east to the Black Hills and Yellowstone 1 ark. Later in the week Mr .Mac Kinnon met with the business men of Cody and Gordon and arrived here Sat urday to make this city the basis of operation in the western part of the state and eastern Wyoming. He said the marking between Valentine and Gordon would have to be by driving three-foot iron pipes, because of the number of cattle on the trail. The cattle would knock down signboards and longer poles. George Jarchow of Cody has agreed to superintend the driving of the iron poles. This movement has already set this part of the state to thinking about the roads, and the opinion is prevalent that there will have to be pavements cn the main roads between this city and Valentine in order to make them usable for trucks and in order to give the sort of transportation the further developments of this cattle raising country requires. Already Ainsworth is taking steps for the building of a concrete road northward to the Nio brara, a distance of more than twenty miles, and Valentine men predict that when one community gets a road of this sort built it will be only a short time until the ranchmen and towns people all over this part of the state 'will be insisting on the same sort of improvement along the line of the state roads. Secretary MacKinnon will be the speaker at the noon-day meeting of the Chadron Community Club on Wed nesday of this week. f John M. Gordon. True Voice: John M.

The war may be over, but it hasn’t been over long enough for some peo ple to regain their former manners. That’s how it was with Jenks, the waiter. “Look here,” said the irate diner, “there’s a fly in the butter!” “That isn’t a fly,” said Jenks; “it is a moth. And that isn’t butter; it’s margarine. Otherwise your assertion is correct.”—Pittsburg Sun. • Stuart Advocate: W. H.
