Whitehall Boulder Highway Gain Promised at Beaverhead Meet
A Whitehall chamber delegation asked Beaverhead officials for support of a Whitehall to Boulder highway. They argued it would shorten travel from Dition to Helena, provide a water grade, and avoid crossing two continental divides, while not being a strategic Alcan link. The group planned to approach county, Boulder valley, Helena groups and Army regioners and congressmen for backing.
