nouncernent that he would see that the
road was built, was received with as
much enthusiasm as the announcement
of the senate's passage of the irrigation
measure. Good roads is a vital topic
in this valley at the present time and
governor Mills displayed his sagacity IN
selecting as the principal topic for his
address Friday afternoon, the possibHi-
ties of good roads for Dcna Ana county
and Las Cruces
Compliments Militia.

referred TO the splendid educational in

Dr. Wright Speaks
Rev. Caspar S. Wright followed gov
ernor Mills and spoke on behalf OF
the Ell Paso chamber of commerce. L
convey greetings from Texas and from
Ell Paso to your excelency," he said
I'VE are not ashamed Of our city. We
love il with all our hearts and we
want you to love it too. New Mexico
is our sister and we are minded that We
cannot do without you and We present
ourselves to you as a great city of
great state which is at your command.
Eylar on Roads,
Judge A. s. j. Eylar of FL Paso. who
has done more as county judge for the
cause of good roads in the southwest
than perhaps any other man, made
characteristic talk on his favorite topic,
good roads. Eel Paso county pledged
itself through commissioner Freudep-
thai to build a road TO Anthony and

that road" judge Eylar said, " and i
stand here to tell you that we have
completed five miles Of it, graded Is
miles of it and are working with the
best equipment and road makers the
county has ever had to finish the re-
mainder When it is built it will be
the show road of FL Paso. We are not
going to plead with you to build road
to meet it. Things have gone so far
that you can't help it. When one goes
to Anthony on an asphalt roadway and
there strikes a sea of sand the blue
haze of profanity will stir the rocks
of the Organs until they come down and
line up to be crushed into roadmakins
stone Tell the mossbacks that you find
the example of Ell Paso county too
strong to repel You might as well do
1T now as later. That is what Ell Paso
county did for we had faith in the fu-
ture of this valley to dress IL up in q
brand new road and 1 am sure Dona
Ana county will do its part
