Show BEST ROMS ARE NOW DESIGNATED AGRICULTURAL SECRETARY OFFICIALLY OF-FICIALLY APPROVES NETWORK NET-WORK OF HIGHWAYS Routes Throughout Nation Are Given Numbers, Travelers Will Find Them Much Help In Going About The Country Washington. A national system of highways, comprising 75,8884 miles of the country's best roads has been designated des-ignated by Secretary of Agriculture Jardine. The network, the first national highway system the country has adopted, establishes 145 routes that touch every state in the union. Of this number, seventy-nine are east and west and sixty-six are north and south. The total mileage of the system is but a fraction of the 2,866,000 miles of roads of all kinds in the United States, but the selection of the best lays the foundation for welding others into the national system later. The co-ordination of the routes is in response to a nationwide demand from motorists whose increasing number num-ber has found increasing difficulty in touring the country over roads marked mark-ed in a chaotic fashion. The United States highways in Utah are designated as route No. 191 from Brigham City to Cotterel, Idaho; route No. 450 from Moab, Monticello, in Utah, and Cortez, Durango, Alamosa Ala-mosa and Walsenburg, Colorado; No. 630 from Echo, Utah, to Ogden; No. 30 from Atlantic City, N.
