The New Mexico Good Roads Com.

ton a little more than u year. During
that time II has accomplished some very
substantial results in the way of good
roads, with which comparatively few
people are familiar. The commission
is composed Of the Governor and Com.

official nj charge of construction work.
Territorial Engineer Sullivan, has
furnished to the Bureau of Immigra.
ton, an interesting summary of the
wark accomplished thus far. The com.
mission was created by the legislature
Of 1909, but did not get into actual
operation until May of that year. Since
that time it has inspected over 1000
miles Of road. 1t has surveyed about
500 miles and has actually construct.
I'd about 100 miles of road. II has
five construction camps in various parts
of the territory in which all the availa.
bic ~eOnvicts are being used.
The policy of the commission is the
establishment of II system of highways
throughout the territory by permanent
construction, using materials that will
stand the wear and tear for u long
time. The sandy stretches which are
frequently encountered are being maca.
damized with what is called a sand.

wear, ~pulverizes and cements together
making a splendid roadbed. Bridges
and culverts are generally built Of rein.

are being protected by concrete posts
construction that will result in per
manent roadways which may be main
tanned and Kept in good order at the
least possible cost, and this system car
ried on from year to year for a few
years will give New Mexico one of
the best public road systems in the
west.
The New Mexico Scenic Highway
has been completed from the Colorado
line almost into Albuquerque, the con
struction camps being now well on the
way towards the Bernslillo county line
Two other important roads now under
construction are the Lincoln. Roswell
line, and the Silver.C City Mogollon road
both of which are badly needed, and
which will open up large stretches OF
country heretofore very difficult of &C,

Whore Earn Grow Sharp.

A French balloonist has recorded the
clearness with which sounds coming
from the surface OF the ground can be
heard at a high altitude At the
height Of 5000 feet the ringing Of
horses hoofs on a hard road was
clearly audible. At 1000 feet the
spiashing sound made by ducks in a
pond was heard. The barking Of dogs
and the growing Of cocks could be
heard at seven or eight thousand feet.
These sounds penetrated through a
white floor OF cloud that hid the earth
from sight. says Harper's Weekly. In
the perfect silence Of the air the In
vestigator was startled by what seem
ed stealthy footsteps close at hand. II
was ascertained that this noise was
caused by the stretching OF the ropes
and the yielding OF the silk as the bal
loon continued TO expand.
