Governor Curry Is much interested
in the project and has promised the
cooperation of the good roads com
mission if the counties of santa re,
Rio Arriba and san Juan do their
part. In santa Fe county the road
would follow the wen worm, historic
road to Santa Cruz by way of Tesuque
and p%oioaque, and which ought TO be
put in prime condition anyway. rms
road, as IL is, carries q large amount
Of local traffic and from the tourist
standpoint is Incompatible. At santa
cruz the road would cross the RIO
Grande to Espanola and thence run
ming to Chamita would follow dhe
present road along The Chama to ADJ
Il uuhl, ana thence to Coyote and Cal
lima. Just beyond Gallina it would
eross the continental divide at an al
| titudc Of only 1900 rect, ana then loi-
low the Canyon Largo TO the san Juan
river! thence 10 Bloomfield ana Aztec,
and If found desirable, on To Farm
ington. the entire distance being about
200 miles, or, to be more exact, l92
miles to Aztec, an easy days trip for
an automobile, for there are no heavy
grades on the road The hardest hill

auiu and Coyote. over the continent
~ divide and along h Largo the
road would be almost level for miles,
and all that would need to be lone
Is to cut out the sagcbrush and low
timber. From Coyote a branch road
could be run to III Nado and Tfcrra
Amarillo. while rom AbiQuiu u
branch road runs to Eel Itito and go
Calienle ana from Chamita to Aicadc,
Velarde, Embudo, Glenwoody, Ranch
as de Taos and Taos, thus opening UP
again old trade arteries.
As stated. q practical road exists
already TO Gallina. and from there on
tothe san Juan river the road max
ing would be "A comparative trille, Tor
the grade is easy and there i S no
gand. However. the old road would
: have to be fixed Up in places. With
