 along. It is the best stunt that has come up here lately for the common good of all, and I will certainly boost it all can.
 GANDOLFO BAR-ANGELO MAR HESSI-Count us in for anything that we can do to help the matter on. We are all living here; we are all neighbors; we should help one anoth- CT. In a case like this where it is for the common good, everybody should heln. Bv all means go ahead with 1t and get the farmers in the valley in terested.
 Now the Examiner couldn't see ev- erybody in one day. But we are in this to fight it through to a successful ls- sue and we will keep hammering at It every day until all are interested ana all are enthused to the proper pitch, for let it be known that once Yuma starts out to do a thing it will be well done.
 It seemed to be the consensus of opinion among the business men to- day that President Miller, of the Yu- ma County Commercial Club should call a mass meeting of the Yuma cit izens and that live committee should he appointed with Road Supervisor Joe Smarr. H. H. Donkersley and all men who KNOW how to build roads and let these men wait on the merchants and secure pledges of teams or men after they have worked out their plans of just how to build the road and just what will be needed per mile in the way of equipment and teams.
 All the preliminaries must be work ed out beforehand.
 It is no time for one to stand back and stand in the light of great and coming good for all.
 Let the committee wait on the board of supervisors and let the committee and the board of supervisors decide on the route of the road.
 It was suggested to-day by several to the Examiner that the route should be out past Bill Thomas place to Nick Larsonfs corner, then to turn and go Nichols hall and from there by any route that is deemed most favorable.
 The idea is to get ONE good road through the valley. Once the farmers get to using one good road, there will be an immediate call for OTHER good roads. and the trick is done.
 The idea is to boost and boost NOW. Now in order to make this matter plain to all, the idea as put out by this
 paper was simply this: The people of Henry county. Tenn, have undertaken to build twelve miles
 of pike in four days. The way they
 are doing this is by cooperation of the farmers along the route, three hundred teams having been pledged, with la |, borers to work for the stipulated time As soon as it was found that every
 body wanted the road and was willing
 10 do his part of the work, it was not long before the plan was forming for all to join in and do within few days
 what would take the average con tractor several months to do at a large cash cost.
 } Now the farmers of the Yuma val | Hey and teh people of Yuma have been l wanting a good road through to the } Mexican line. They asked the board t of control for it and were told that it } was purely a Yuma county matter. { Now the Examiner wants to mak: 3 suggestion and it sincerely trusts 3 that the Morning Sun and the farmers 7 and merchants will take the matte, 7 up and help carry it to a successful l conclusion.
 The Examiners suggestion was sim
 ply this:
 Governor Richard B. Sloan has sci
 aside Monday, September 4, as Labor < Day.
 f So far Yuma has made no effort tc r pull off a celebration on that day, and .- there is not likely to be any. l Then, let Chairman Shanssey of the j. board of supervisors call general Il holiday for that day; let Mayor Ewing T do the same in Yuma; then let every | body iii Yuma and the valley turn out = ond in ONE dav hIIi1d tho rOa1 Tn tbe
