Badax, Feb. 22 – This time of the year our valley roads seem to be the main traveled road to Viroqua from the neighboring country around. Therefore the creek is quite alive with traffic...

SIDIE HOLLOW ROAD
Editor Censor:
I was pleased to see your article a couple of weeks since advocating the Sidie Hollow Road. Those of us on the Western section of the county know this road should be built. This winter it has furnished a means for about half of Vernon county to get to the county seat. It would be the most traveled road in or out of Viroqua if improved. In summer it would make a most delightful drive and in winter many times the only way to and from the county seat when the ridge roads are drifted in. The sheriff lately used this road to get to Chaseburg and Coon Valley...C.O. HELGESON.
