Invitations will be sent out by the Great Falls highway committee calling for a state wide conference in that city within the near futu. . The ultimate plans are expected to result in four and possibly six roads across the state, north and south.1AmtheRooldMilwilJulhelneithlt;yeitalfrcpiccesticCr1frlt;rem:At the Kalispell meeting, the Northwest Montana Better Roads association was organized, with Scott l^eavitt as chairman and R. S. Skinner secretary. The purpose of the organization is to urge the immediate offer of aid for road building, meaning that countieB can issue long time bonds and obtain permanent highways for just half the cost were they to be built without federal aid.The entire state baa been organized, except the northeast section. The southeast section has headquarters at Butte; the northwest section at Kalispell. A meeting similar to the others recently held will be called by the state highway commission in Great Falls in July, according to Herbert Templeton, member of the board. .The good roads organizations of the various counties will meet in this city to work out a state-wide system of roads upon which all counties will base their highway construction.It is probable that the one trans-state highway will go by the Yellowstone trail. The second probably will follow the Great Northern railway in the north, passing through Glacier and Belton, giving access to Glacier park. *-—o — -inB1sastV.teIICaptain of Montana Rifle TeamAdjutant General Phil Greenan has nominated R.
