Lincoln Highway as the Tourist j Will Find It in 1917 Detours j for Road Work Must Be Made i Officials of the Lincoln TIirhway association foet certain that a phe- i nomenal volume of tourist traffic is to be carried by the great transcontinental transcontinen-tal road during 1017, and are desirous of acquainting prospective travelers unfamiliar with tho route with a true idea of conditions to be encountered on the long drive. As a result of the splendid support given tho Lincoln Highway association associa-tion in its work of securing the improvement of the cross-country road by the press of the entire country, tho Lincoln highway is probably the first thought of those planning a long tour during the coming season. It is not to be expected that the Lincoln highway for its entire length of 3300 miles from New York to San Francisco is a paved boulevard, but in fair weather it will bo found to be traversable in comfort for its entire distance and well marked all the way. There is one condition to be encountered during the coming season which it is hoped the motorists will accept in the proper spirit, even at the cost of some discomfort to themselves. This is in connection with detours which will have to be made where road improvement Is going on. There is to be more actual work on the Lincoln highway in 1917 than ever before a splendid tribute to the success of the Lincoln hiehway idea but because of it the traveler will frequently have to leave tho highway proper where the road is closed for this purpose.
