Mexican government is anxious 10 have
such roads along the boundary so that
goods may be shipped from east TO
west and vice versa without having
10 pass through the United States in
bond. That anxiety was recently still
further increased by the reported &C
tivity of reyolutionists along the north
erly boundary line of the Mexican re-
public and the necessity of a road for
troop transportation was apparent.
With the end of encouraging the build
ing of such a line it is said that the
Mexican government will pay royal
ty of $4,000 gold per mile TO the com
lpany constructing the road.
The road, when finished, it is said,
will extend between two hundred and
fifty and three hundred miles and the
greater part of the distance can be con-
structed at minimum of expense. as
it will be through level country and
most of the construction will be dirt
work. There will be one expensive
stretch of road building, it is said, for
some forty to fifty miles where the
proposed line viii pass through the
mountains around the upper waters OF
the Bavispe river and entail rock
work and tunneling While the gov
eminent will make this payment to
inelp in tie railroad construction, it re-
serves the right to purchase the road
at an assessed price at the end of
twenty-five years, deducting the $4,000
per mile advanced.
The surveying party is in charge
of Chief Engineer Henning, who laid
out the extension for the Phelps
Dodge interests for a road from Naco-
zari to Guaymas which they have I'M
der contemplation but on which no
work has been done.
viii Benefit Douglas.
This new road will be of benefit to
Douglas, as by making connection at
a junction to the south of here, the
Fl Tigre country and other rich sin
eral properties will be brought in stin
closer touch with this city. Then, too,
|it is thought the line will pass through
a rich timber country and this would
mean cheaper fuel and lumber for
here, country Frank Murphy once
planned to tap by railroad. In addition
to this, and of more immediate inter-
est. it is reported that the main Office
of the engineering and construction
work will be at Douglas and this win
bring frequent parties of workmen on
the line here and make This citv a
base of supplies, just as Guaymas was
benefited by the construction of the
Espee extension until Culiacan was
reached
How far south of this city it will
be, where this road will cross the
Nacozari line, the Dispatch is not yet
able to learn nor is it certain that this
has yet been determined.
This is not an Espee proposition,
but is taken up by the government
and by mining interests.

The gas franchise will come
up for election on Tuesday,
April 2Ssh. There is only a
little over a week yet and we
will print the ordinance in the
daily perhaps several times dur
ing that time. 1t would seem
that every voter of Missouri
Valley should give this matter
thoughtful attention and not
be influenced through heresay
to vote against the measure.
So far there has been no great
opposition to the matter and
we believe as the people think
more of the good to be done,
should this pass, not only for
labor and material furnished,
but for the upbuilding of their
home town, that opposition
will be even.less.
