 Dr. Drum will organize the Border land Route association to pull for the southern route for the transcon tinental highway. This organization will be formed upon the arrival oi the route man at Fl Paso and mum. Der of Douglas highway boosters will attend the meeting. While Mir. Drum will go over the highway in person. Mir. Grindell suggests that it will be q good idea for Risbee and Douglas to have representatives at the El Paso meeting, and has made the sug gestion 10 the Commercial club that this organization have one or more representatives at the meeting, going with the Douglas party.
 The headquarters of the Border land Route association will probably be at Fl Paso, that being the largest city on the proposed route, and the president will probably be selected from the boosters of that city. The route will be divided into districts and there will be vice president fol each district The first district will embrace jurisdiction over that part or the route between Dodge City and Plainsview, Texas, the second be tween Plainsview and Fl Paso, and the third between Fl Paso and Phoe- nix, embracing the territory between Fl Paso, Deming. Lordsburg, Silver City. Rodeo. Douglas. Bisbee, Tucson Florence and Phoenix. Under each vice president will be a superintend ent of roads.
 It was first stated that the chair man of the transcontinental tours club would send a representative, but the latest information is that Drum himself will make the trip, which IS good news to the boosters of the Bor derland Route.
