the Scenic Road could not BE- more
admirably chosen.
Again. we are informed that the pro-
posed route Is nearly four miles long
er than the present canyon road,
which, in the writer's opinion, is long
enough.
II is very easy to criticise the work
Of others yet one cannot help regret
ting that the work on our Scenic Road
is being done to parallel a road which
we already have instead Of enabling US
to get further into the mountains.
There can be absolutely nc fault to
find with the present construction
which is being prosecuted In the most
workmanlike manner 1t Is onlyto
be regretted that it is in a place not
as scenic as the present road to III
Porvenir and is to be four miles long
err.
The writer does not contend that the
grade on the canyon road can equal
that OF the proposed Scenic Road, but
does contend that the present canyon
road can be greatly improved with
much less work and expenditure than
will be required 10 construct and main
tain a road so high up the mountain
side. CITIZEN.

The seenle Routs.

There has been = great deal Of dis
cussion the last few days In regard to
the location Of the Scenic Route be
tween Las Vegas and Santa re.
Several who have taken the trouble
to visit the place where the work Ia
now going on. have been very mucn
surprised TO md that the road Is. be
ing constructed entirely out Of the
canyon and in many places not within
sight Of the river.
The writer took the trouble to visit
the camp and look over the proposed
four and one-half miles OF road. and
found the condition to DO exactly as
represented by others who had pre-
viousIy looked into the location Of
the route.
There is no portion Of our surround.
ing country that the citizens Of Las
Vegas take as much interest In AZ the
Hot Springs canyon. When we have
visiting friends or people whom we
wish TO have locate here In our beau
tIful and healthful city we never fail
to take them up to view the Hot
Springs canyon. which il acknowledge
cd to be n Of the most beautiful and
delightful drives in New Mexico. 50
Il seems to the writer that II we are to
have a Scenic road 1t should be built
where the scenery Is. The proposed
route is located at such a distance
from the bottom Of the canyon that
one can get but occasional long dis
lance glimpses Of the stream which
adds 80 materially TO the beauty Of
the canyon. For one who dlslikes the
sight Of water the present location Of

Mr.. Editor:
The writer has read tine commiinica-
tons lately appearing in The Optic
and has given some little thought 70
the profound economic truths, en-
bodied therein. Were II not for the
clear brains. logical reasoning and
above all the purely disinterested phil
anthropic spirit opportunity displayed
by the selfish amigos (?) Of the plain
people, what progress would the world
have made in the elapsed cons ince
the throttle Of truth was frst pulled
and the train Of thought Of the uni
verse started on Its fearsome journey
down the trackless abyss OF dlmen-
sionlcss space. The article in question
comes lust 1t this time with peculiar
a~ppositencss when the weary world IS
w~istfully longing for the PRONUNCIATION
of i new doctrine OF economic dispen-
sation.
Truly. indeed, why should the
thoughtless dealer in the product OF
Ny Lady Nicotine bark back to the
selfish east for his supplies, thus drain
Ing an already depleted community OF
