say had been received with interest
and, In many cases, with enthusiasm.
New Mexico had already gained much
eommendation from the nation on ac-
count Of the Scenic Highway and
when completed II would be as fea-
t,lre Of scenic interest second only to
the Grand Canyon of Arizona. In no
way could the territory make more
certain of getting her deserts in the
matter of separathe statehood than by
turning her attention to the solution
of such vital industrial problems as
that involved in the building Of the
Scenic Highway.
Mr.. Abbott took occasion to say
that copy of the Las Vegas Art
Souvenir had been sent him and that
he had read and examined 1t carefully.
He remarked, with emphasis, that IT
was the best thing of the kind that
he ever saw and that the people of
the city ought to appreciate it accord
ingly.

with applause The gentlemen was
followed by Col. r. f. Twitchell, who

had had with President RIPLEY OF

The official had said that when the
Scenic Highway was completed 1t

liable assets the western country
possessed and had signified an inten-
ton on the part OF the railroad com,
pany to advertise It's attractions to

Canyon of Arizona.
Col. Twitchell spoke, also. If a
conversation he had had with Giffor
Pinchot, the eminent forester, in
which that gentleman had referred

argument was that where roads We're
built through the reserves, and the
people grew familiar with the coun-

serve the forests, they would more
readily understand the problems that
must be met and the importance of
the forestry movement. and would
cooperate with the reserve officials
to attain the desired objects.
Another point dwelt upon by Col

Mr.. Blood traced the efforts OF the

Mr. Pierce spoke in the highest terms
of the morale OF the convicts engaged

One of The Best Advertisements New Mexico Ever
Had Addresses BY Visiting Expert and a
Number Of Las Vegas Clubmen at CONNER.
cial Club Last Night

A meeting of interest and, perhaps,
OF great moment to Las Vegas, was
held at the Commercial club last
night. Hon. Jas. w. Abbott, special
commissioner for the Rocky Mountain
division Of the department OF good
roads, was present and addressed the
considerable number Of business men
present in The most eulogistic terms
regarding the Scenic Highway. Col.
Twitchell, F. II. Pierce, F. o. Blood,
and r. J. Taupert took part in the
discussion that followed.
Mr.. Abbott did not arrive In the city
until O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Despite the lateness of the hour, he
took the first car for the canyon.
There he was met by +. Fl. Pierce and
driven over a considerable portion Of
the highway. In making his address
to the club last night, he left no room
for doubt but his second impressions
were quite as favorable as his first.
He made the unqualified statement
that not elsewhere in the United
States was there mountain road
with a maximum grade Of only five
per cent of as high a standard as the
Scenic Highway The gentleman said
that the splendid road would be an
advertisement, not only for the part
Of the country through which it ran,
but for every part of New Mexico. He
referred to the satisfactory solution
of the problem of convict labor and
said that in this respect New Mexico
had been a pioneer among the states
and territories.
Mr.. Abbott described his lecture
tour of the last few weeks in the
west in the course of which he had
told thousands Of people In the Pa
cific coast states and In Arizona Of the
remarkable success attained by New
Mexico in The building Of an unparal-
leled highway, and had illustrated his
talks with stereoptican views of the
road made from the finest slides and
colored to represent nature. Wherever
he had been since his last visit to
this section he had sounded The
praises of the Scenic Highway. He
had talked to experts about the mat
ter, had praised the far seeing action
of the New Mexico legislature and
had written many articles on The sub
ject. Everywhere what he had to
