Near Davis Downtown Evanston | from the summer heat of the towns Rail Leaders Inspect Arrowhead Resort Area A group of Evanston and Winnetka men headed by President Fred W. Sargent of the Chicago and North Western railroad last week made a seven-day trip to Duluth and through the woods and waters of the Arrow- head country of Minnesota lying be- tween the north shore of Lake Superior and the Canadian boundary which is developing into a great mid-continent summer playground. In the party which traveled in Pres- ident Sargent's private car were Mr. Sargent of Evanston, A. C. Johnson of Winnetka, vice president of the North Western in charge of traffic; Frank Walters of Evanston, vice pres- ident of the North Western in charge of operations; Rush Butler of Winnet- ka, a famous railroad lawyer; and other of Mr. Sargent's associates. The Arrowhead country contains Lake Vermillion and hundreds of other lakes and streams as well as the Superior National forest and much virgin timber. Residents of the dis- trict are bringing it forward as a great | summer resort territory luring hun- dreds to its cool waters and away and cities of the Mississippi valley. Public Service Engineer Taken by Death Last Week Frank E. Goodnow, 43, Electrical Engineer for the Public Service com- | pany of Northern Illinois, and a mem- ber of Mayor William E.

The plan for the elimination of this trouble, put into effect during the 1925 season by the American Automobile association promises splendid results, according to the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club, and will be ex- panded for the 1926 season. It in- volves the issuance of a detour map and a weekly bulletin covering the en- tire country. The bulletin itself is to be based on daily telegraphic reports from state highway commissions from county authorities, from A. A. A. clubs, road scouts, and individual members. The detour. bulletin will show not . only the location of detours on the primary highways but will give the length of the detour and the condi- tions to be encountered. In some in- stances tke condition and the length of the detour is such that it is more economical to select alternative routes. It is also true that many motorists have discovered for themselves that they cannot always depend on local in- formation, for the reason that com- munities will in many instances give a biased report so as not to lose motor tourist traffic, even for a few days. Hence the importance of a national clearing house for accurate detour in- formation. This information will be available every day to the 3,000 clerks engaged in the business of routing automobiles over the counters of 800 A. A. A. clubs. Milk for Hot Weather! Milk--fresh and pure-- is the very best summer food. And it must come, as ours does, from cows that are thoroughly healthy. Drink More Milk! PHONE 137 PR. WINNETKA PD SANITARY [Ef DATRY CO
