The idea was taken up with enthusi-
asm, and In few months the road
practically was completed from Garden
City to the Colorado state line Colo
RADIO took up the speedway, and the
counties along the old trail pushed
the new road through to Pueblo. There
it was connected with the fine road
that led westward up the valley of
the Arkansas river to Canon City, end
ing at the Skyline drive, one of the
most magnificent mountain roads in
the world, skirting the edge of the
Royal gorge, through which the river
flows thousand feet below.
Work was begun almost Immediately
on several stretches Of the road, and
by spring the whole length of it was
completed. Nearly every farmer along
the way contributed time to the work
and lent a. team or two, and when the
cost was figured up it was found that
it had cost the counties less than
$50 mile. For that insignificant
amount was built q natural speedway
from Hutchinson west to the Colorado
line thirty feet wide and as smooth
and springy as wooden block pave

There still live in the west men who
knew the old Santa re trail in the
days Of its glory, when mile long
wagon trains dragged slowly over hill
and plain. The prairie hooner Of
that day has given way tdthe motor
ear of thisy the bullwhacSer has be-
come chauffeur. and the old trail has
become the newthe new Santa Fe
trail--a motor speedway from the bank
of the Father of Waters to the plaza
of Santa Fe. Over the old trail these
pioneers and their sons are spreading
a boulevard fifteen hundred miles long.
1t is not merely a project this new
Santa Fe TRAIL 1t is solid actuality,
which four states are pushing to com
pletion, with Kansas and Colorado
we'll in advance. The new Santa Fe
trail is practically finished between
Hutchinson, Kan, and Canon City,
Colo, at which latter place one branch
ends. 1t is being pushed south from
La Junta to Santa F'e and east from
Hutchinson to Kansas City and ST.,
Louis.
Founded in sentiment, the real in
centive behind the new Santa Fe trail
was the big touring car. What the
preaching of twenty years had failed
to accomplish the notorcar accom-.
plished in one-the conversion of the
Kansas farmer to good roads.
The idea of the new Santa Fe trail
originated with G. H. Scott editor Of
the Hutchinson (Kan) News. He
made plan Of campaign with r. H.,
Faxon of the Garden City Telegram
for carrying out the idea. They first
called their project the Arkansas val
ley speedway and later the new SAN

Movement Grows Rapidly.

Then the towns east of Hutchinson
asked, if it was to be new Santa Fe
trail, why didn't 1t take in the whole
length of the old trail? Was there any
reason why the new trail shouldn't fol-
low the old trail to this, that or the
next town? There wasn't. So the
towns east of Hutchinson Joined in a
convention few weeks ago at EN-
poria, and it was decided to swallow
the whole morsel and build the new
trail on to Kansas City.
But" said Kansas City, IF you are
willing to stretch a point you can even
say it started at st. Louis, because
there La Lande began his historic jour
ney over the old Boon's Lick road to
old Franklin. Besides, Missouri has
already planned a fine cross state high
way over that route between st. Louis
and Kansas City"
There being no objection, Kansas
City just hooked up both ends and
planned what win be within a few
years the longest continuous road on
the American continent, 500 miles OF
almost every variety Of landscape to
be found in these broad United States.
why" Kansas and Missouri and
Colorado and New Mexico are asking
why don't the people on the other
side of the Mississippi make up and
hitch their old national pike on to the
new Santa Fe trail and run it back to
Philadelphia or New York or Boston
while we shove the other end out to
the Pacifc?''
