NORTHERN ARIZONA AND
 THE AUTO H|GH LINE
The Great Center of Attraction is In this Section and the Prospect
 Looks Good

and shows what IS being done m
 the effort to establish the trans continental automobile high line an northern Arizona. Ot course the natural attractions are here and speak for themselves, but it will take some effort and some energy to establish the line throu this section.
 The despatch says: Northern Arizona counties are workin gtooth and nail for chain on automobile roads from Gallup, Mew Mexico, to the western boundary of the territory, to open up the California and eastern auto tourests the varied charms of the Painted Dessert, Petrified Forest, Moqui villages, and the Grand and Cat aract canyons.
 Tom Norris, president of the Arizona Good Roads association, returned from the meeting of the Arizona Good Roads association meeting at Phoenix today. He is at present working strenuously to make a perfect success oi the meeting of the territorial associa- ton in this city beginnidg Sept ember 2, as the Bankers associa- ton of Arizona will convene in Prescott on the same date, and there is much to do.
 The principal work of the good roads association during the coming convention will be the issuance of call from Governor Sloan to California and New Mexico good roads associations recommending them to name commissioners, who shall meet and determine for re- commendation, highway which shall be link in the east to west transcontinental automobil high way.
 MT. Norris is planning for the publication of an Arizona Good Roads Handbook, which shall portray all the auto roads in the territory, showing small photo graphs of all turns, forks and crossroads on the several roads. The book will luther contain ex- haustive particulars as to hotels, accommodations, watering stations and other necessary details tor the comfort and convenience of the tourist. Each road will be map ped in colors and opposite each l junction or cross-road point, a photograph will be inserted to prevent any possible confusion.
 This work will cost S45oo; a | guarantee of sIooo is required be- fore the publishers in Los Aaneles i will undertake the work. Half this complement is already pro- missed from Phoenix and Prescott. IL is estimated that the book will | not be ready for sale before next | summer, by which time a great many of the projected roads in all parts of the territory will, it is hoped, have been completed.
 "The visiting bankers will be guests of the Prescott Auto club on several excursions; besides these trips the good roads dele gates and the bankers will eb enter tained with trips over the Prescott Loop and other scenic highways in Yavapai county. Mir. Norris hopes that the forces under Ter ritorial Engineer Girand will have completed the territorial highway south of Prescott, now finished to point twelve miles from this city, and will have reached, by October 2, the summit of Senator mountain, from which one of the

line and David Rabbit of Flag staff promises the cooperation of the Coconino board to this end At the next meeting of the Maya jo board, August 20, proposal to build road from Holbrook to the Petrifed forest will be considered. Bids have been submitted already for this extension. Immigration Commissioner w. H. Clark of Navajo county will meet MT. Bab- bit and member of the Coconino board, with MT. Norris, at Hol- brook soon, together with one of the Navajo board of supervisors, and they will journey across the country to Adamana, there to be met by the Apache county delega- tion. From this point the party ill journey through Apache county to Gallup, New Mexico, there to meet and enthuse the New Mexican Good Roads people.
 "One of the purposes of the Arizona Good Roads association is to have the back of its letter heads occupied by plat of Arizona, showing all the main roads in the territory. This will be put in hand with the printer at once.
 An indication of the interest developed in the east by Arizona s awakening to the need of good automobile roads is to be seen in a recent letter from the Goodrich Rubber company at Akron, Ohio. This firm has written MT. Norris that 1t will be glad to install proper signs throughout that part of Ari- zona from Gallup to the Grand Canyon as soon as permanent roads are finished.
