Winning Road Essay Calls for State Highway in Big Hole
In a winning essay by Mrs. C. W. Francia at the Old Timers picnic in Wisdom the Big Hole Road association argues for a state maintained highway to ease travel from Dillon and Butte to Salmon and Bitter Root. The piece cites 1882 settlement routes, harsh winter conditions, and rising costs due to poor roads, noting improved highways could boost tourism, trade, and access to schools, with the Ajax and Martin mines and local scenery as key interests.
