Old Trails Route is its name now.
Board of Agriculture approves Curtis Hill's recommendations.
Dedication plans definitely decided on in Sedalia Friday.
The State Board of Agriculture has approved as a whole the plans for the formal opening and dedication of the Missouri Cross-State Highway October 20 and 21. These plans, presented by Curtis Hill, state highway engineer, have been announced.
The St. Louis and Kansas City motor parties will meet in Columbia the morning of October 21 at 10:30 o'clock. Here the tour and dedication will end with the ceremonies and a barbecue in time for the persons attending to take the afternoon and evening trains for home, or get an early start in their automobiles.
The name of the cross-state highway has been changed to the "Old Trails Route." This was done to distinguish it from other cross-state highways that may be built in the future. Also the name has significance, in that the highway covers the Santa Fe trail and Boon's Lick road.
Between Rocheport and Marshall there will be two lines. One will pass through Glasgow and the other through Boonville. These two roads do not interfere with one another and the fact that Glasgow is on the upper side of a great northern bend in the Missouri river and Boonville on the lower side of a great southern bend enables many more persons to reach the road conveniently than would be the case if there were only one road.
The St. Louis party will leave the Planters Hotel at 8 o'clock Friday morning, Oct. 20. They will stop at Cottleville, Warrenton and Mineola Springs, and arrive in Fulton at 5 o'clock, where they will spend the night. They will arrive in Columbia at 10:30 o'clock the next morning.
The Kansas City division will leave the Midland Building in Kansas City at the same time the St. Louis party leaves the Planters Hotel.
When they reach Marshall they will be divided into three equal sections. One will go to Glasgow and one to Fayette by way of Slater and Gilliam, and the third section will go by way of Arrow Rock and Lamine to Boonville.
These sections will meet again at Rocheport, and come to Columbia together.
Boonville Loop also.
