Stevens Point Holds Trail from Grand Rapids -

Work for Fine Roads.

 

            A meeting of the original signers for the Yellowstone Trail was held at the Delavan Hotel on last Friday evening.  An association was formed to carry on the work and prepare for a trail day.  The first steps taken was the marking of the poles along the trail with a yellow band.  These were painted the latter part of the week, from this city half way to Weyauwega and half way to Amherst.  Work on the road has not been started as yet but it is expected to be under way before very long.  Every person in this vicinity interested in good roads is invited to join this association.  The membership fee will be one dollar, which puts it within the reach of all.  Another meeting will be called within a short time to form further plans.

 

Stevens Point on Trail.

 

            A delegation from Stevens Point went to Marshfield on last Tuesday to defeat the action of Grand Rapids of diverting the trail from Stevens Point.  The people of Grand Rapids were very anxious to have the trail pass through that town but the Stevens Point people were alive to the proposition and sent a large number of their best men to hold it. Local associations are being formed in every town and city on the trail and it is hoped that later these may be united into one organization.  The towns of Fremont, Weyauwega and Waupaca will, it is hoped, form a county association from the three local organizations now working. The date of the local trail day will be announced at a later date.
