YUMA ID HAVE ROAD
 10 MEXICAN BORDER
EXPECT TO BUILD IT COMPLETE
 THEMSELVES IN ONE DAY
Intend to Celebrate Labor Day in a Way That Will Long Be Re-
 membered Among Them.

If the Yuma Examiner can rouse them to it, Yuma county people, or at least some of them along the route, are going to have a road to the MeXi- can border and they are going to have it right quick In fact they have set Labor Day, this year, as the time when they, themselves. are going to build it, without asking a cents worth of help from the Board of Control of the territory, principally because they have asked it and couldn't get it, so get the road.
 With this laudable desire. it Is ex- pected that the board of supervisors will, to some extent, agree. Supervisor A. H. Kent is quoted as saying to the Examiner:
 "I want it understood that I am in this movement with every facility i in my possession and everything and lanything that I can do to help the mat 1 ter along l will gladly do.
 Also I wish to say that it is not possible for the county to spend any money on road that is not laid out as a county road, but we already have a county road laid out which believe
 for two thirds Of the way to the line follows the route the Examiner has 1 been talking of.
 This road leaves Yuma on Eighth street, goes to the Baptist church or
 the corner of Nick Larsen's; thence south to 9 point about one mile past 1 Nichols hall; thence west tO Gandol- IfO's southwest corner; thence south to
 Somerton. and from SomertOn on a
 route would have to be selected, but on the stretch of road mentioned the
 county could possibly help out with
 little money.
 "Of course. somebody might say that
 we would have to look out for the
 reclamation ditches. and we will, and
 this route for a distance runs along
 the government gravity Gitch, but this
 still leaves forty feet of road and that
 is amply sufficient where the road runs ialOng the ditch. We need the road bad fly. and this seems the opportune time
 to get it. By all means boost it along Dr. James Ketcherside last week placed his machine at the service of
 the Examiner to go over the route sug- gested and pick out roadway, the
 first of this week, and it seems as
 though everybody in Yuma who can is standing in, possibly excepting Pres lident Miller. of the Commercial Club lwho perhaps. has thought better of it by this time.
 Among those who have publicly promised to be there with tools and lteams ani their own good muscle, are h. A Williams. the grading contract ,tor, Jim Meadows, Rev. A. B. Tcmlin- son. who viii be remembered well ir

 Even as early as last week. con lsiderable practical organization for thu lwork had been effected But 1t sure lly will be Labor day in earnest to those lwho have lent themselves to 1t.
