Th difficulties of a sparsely populated community in keeping up aa extended mileage of main highway for through traffic are exemplified by the highway in Wyoming, particularly in Carbon 'and - Wweeiwsiar . . count las. Here, during 1(17, the highway was in a deplorable condition. The cost of adequate improvement was too great for the relatively few. resident taxpayers. But I am glad to say that ths Wyoming state highway commis- sion has extended the needed aaeist-sne- e and that thi part of ths route will present no difficulties to the tourists W other- trans-stat- e trace lore of the eomtng year.

Tripe of inspection over the famous Balt Lake desert country hav been made, covering the ground where it Is proposed to reduce the mileage between Sait Lake City, Utah, and Ely, Nevada, The Lincoln Highway association has secured a contribution of $120,000 for this construction, near th line. Pains hav been taken to complete the most thorough preliminary investigations bsfore undertaking actual work at this point. ' Du to numerous restraining circumstances arising from th war, and ths additional dutisq placed upon th officials of tho highway association In connection with th assistance which th national organisation is giving to th Council of National Defense, it is impractical at this tim to make a definite statement s to when this desert improvement workisto he under-- : taken. Every local endeavor was used during the last year in keeping the Utah and Nevada sections of ths highway in- - the - best - possible condition - for travel, and about $1(0,000 was spent for this purpose from the meager road funds available. The drive In California la on of the-f- t nest in the world- Much- oL it is ooncret and a considerable mileage of ooncret has been added during the current year at- - a. cost of about $lf$.600.
