October 25, 1954 \ Dear Sir: Your article on locating of U.S. ( highway 281 is so ludicrous it is . plain silly. Your statement that by laying 281 on top of highway 18 . would mean more gas tax is as tounding. The fact is: The opposite is | ; true. ,. | - The Black Hills traffic would ; in all cases still have highway 18 1 to travel the identical route you; , are touting. There is a strong j < probability that if highway 281 j ■ goes the east survey, highway 275 , could be extended to Fairfax, S D., by Butte and Omaha. Ar. oil road exists there now. Ne- , braska would have a direct con nection via O’Neill from Omaha to the Black Hills, an all oil mat road, except 12 miles from the; Eagle south to about seven miles ; ; north of O’Neill. i Probably with the highway 28, going to the east, ONeiil and Ne- i braska would get more traffic than it now gets. With a more direct route from Ft. Randall to highway 12 and 281, we would be in a position to show the beauty of northeast Ne braska and to tap the vast reser voir of traffic which goes to visit Ft. Randall dam. Army engineers on opening day at Ft. Randall estimated two mil lion people lived in the area to be attracted to visit this giant pro ject. Ft. Randall (World Alma nac) is the world’s fourth largest dam and backs water 150 miles. With Ft. Randall dam and Gav in’s Point (which is to be one of the world’s greatest recreation areas), you have two great attrac tions with adjacent, convenient roads, combined with the natural beauty and historical attractions of northeast Nebraska. Knox county saw the beguming of the first crossing of Nebraska by white men in 1739, has memories of Louis and Clark, a Mor mon settlement, the old Ponca and Santee Indian reservations. Maid en’s Leap, Devil’s Nest region ( where Jesse James made his headquarters when the state of Missouri became too hot for him). These with the natural beauties of Niobrara state park (Nebras ka’s most visited park) would combine to attract great tourist traffic into Nebraska—'instead of forcing them as now to travel in South Dakota. This tourist traffic is a great thing for any state. You put pay ing traffic on the roads. Tourist cars do not tear up roads like l tnicks do. They improve them! Gov. Sigurd Anderson of South j Dakota states 45 miles of South; Dakota’s best improved roads are paid for by tourist traffic. Why don’t we put highway 281 where we will get our share of it? Governor Anderson says 4,000, 000 pounds of South Dakota j wheat go to feed tourists, 500,000 ; pounds of South Dakota butter, 250.000 dozen South Dakota eggs, and so on down the list. Cannot O’Neill and northeast Nebraska use some of this busi ness? To get this business, we must j locate roads so they will be con venient to the tourist. You can not put this off on a ’round-about way. Tourists are the customers. You must accommodate the cus tomers. The best thing for O'Neill is to ; have two roads—one drawing traffic from the dam, one from the i Black Hills. Get out your map and, look. 1 Please think!
