Furness of Chamber of Commerce is a mild man, ready and willing to help out the tourist who wants advice on roads, but now und then comes one that ‘makes him want to check the bet. Recently he had one in his office, all the way from No’th Ca’lina, who took up about an hour and a half of Mr. Furness’ time trying to map out some other route” for a northern trip. Growing curious at last concern- ing the man’s obdurate desire for ome other route,” Mr, Furness be- xan to probe him, He found that the man had heard, somehow, that seme- where, about 300 miles to the north Mandan, there was a toll bridge where they charge one a dollar to ‘oss. He wanted Mr. Furness to pick out some other route for him, which would permit. to keep that dollar. It was with difficulty Mr. Furness restraired himself from sending the man by way of Glendive, or some other point so far out of the way it would have cost him $30 to get back on the ‘rail.

Figures For Stark County Show Growth of Dairy Industry The manner in which the dairy in- dustry has grown in Western North Dakota counties during the last few years is indicated by preliminary statistics on butterfat production in Stark county, it was said at the state department of agriculture and labor today. From June 1, 1924, to June 30, 31 cream stations operating in Stark county received 726,480.43 pounds of butterfat for which the producers received an average of 36 cents 4 pound or $242,785.46. From July i, 1925, to, June 30, 1926, 27 of the 31 cream stations re- -ported receipts of 689,432.05 pounds of butterfat with an average price of 40 cents, 9 pound, a total of $268,- 662,31, When the additional cream stations report it is expected that the total butterfat receipts will be well excess of those-for 1925 and in ddition to this there was an in- erease In the amount of butterfat shipped direct to creameries, ~ U.

Quaint French-Canadian Vil-) lages Along Way Make Trip Interesting | (By George D. Mann.) Quebec, July 18—Montreal to | Quebce via motor is only 180 miles,| ;but in that distance one’s mind re-' verts centuries. A most road, paved the entire distance, makes it an casy five hour spin, but the! seenery of a rare and unique grand- k out all inclination’ to! You idle along through | French-Canadian — villages, with their great spires dominating the life of a most reverent, simple and hospitable people. By the sideeof the road are out- door shrines where the ‘devout, caught away from the sheltering roof of a church, can kneel and ask a Divine blessing. if you lose the sight of « graccful river, speeding 900 miles to the great open sea, affected by the mighty tide even at thie distance, you will only have reached “Three Rivers,” the halfway stop between Montreal and Quehee hy night. The American pa- per industry, plus cheap water pow- er, has changed this* quiet French town into a bustling city of 25,000! with a paper mill that ranks among the largest in the world, furnishing print paper for the great dailies of New York, Boston, London and Pari Low Power Rates Three rivers converge here with the St. Lawrence and afford wonderful and. cheap water power. Those who cook with electricity get a rate as low as one-half cent’a k, w. Indus- tries find it a most favorable place, especially to convert the vast pulp excellent} resources nearby into various kinds] T of paper, Aside from the commercial import- ance, Three Rivers is closely asso- ciated with the Stillmans. Fifteen miles up in the woods is Fifi's camp, and this little town once rocked | with the scandal of that famous di- vorce case, Beauvais, the Indian guide, is known here and several “advocats” and French “habitant” maids have been enriched by the Stillman money. From Three Rivers it is an easy morning's ride to Quebec, the “an- cient capital” of Canada, a great treasure storehouse of French culture ind American history. It has some- mes been called the birthplace of | North America, The. first white! man, Jacques Cartier, ‘visited it in 1535 but the town was actually found- ed by Samuel de Champlain in 1668, No Traffic Rul Driving about Quebec in a stan- dard gauge automobile is no easy matter. You drive as hard on the Klaxon as you do at the wheel. If you hire a “historical” guide the job is much easier. Being French, these guides are both “historical” hysterical _as they warm up to the subject. There are no traffic rules in Quebec. You just do a lot of art- ful dodging. [7 it is necessary to get gas and you sight a garage on the opposite side of the street, it is perfectly proper to dash across, jump the curb and parg on the side- walk while your tank is filled with “English” gallons, supposed to con- tain one more pint per gallon than the Yankee measure. will even wait obligingly until you hurdle the sidewalk, for the streets are too narrow in some sections to take gas and allow traffic to proceed hut the same time. Quebce has the slowest but noisiest ; traffic. in the world. You can’t see a.car coming around a corner, so you have to listen for it. The taxi driv- ers. are the. only ones who chance. They must move, as their pay is on a fee basis, Fifteen per cent of the “meter” goes to them and Oh, Boy! how they move down “Sous-le-Cap” or whiz up and dow! around the ancien? rampart und Frontenac.

The gigantic army of motor vacn- tionists will be much greater than was indicated by forccasts based, on previous years, the national routing agency announces. The A. A.
