SEE AMERICA F|RST,'
 IS THE CRY FOR 1913

America is renowned for her Grand Canyon of the Colorado, for her Tel lowstone park, for her regions of the Cliff Dwellers, for her Yosemite. and for her countless ranges of mountains, and yet these go begging while the coffers of Europe are annually filled.
 The remedy lies with the citizens of those states embracing the Rocky mountains and westward. They should cooperate. They should begin at once. They should aim at diverting a fcac- ton of the 1913 tourists traffic. They should honestly advertise what they have by way of roads, by way of ho- tels, by way of route books, by way of signboards, by way of garages, and set a fraction of the share of American tourists traffic that they deserve.

That Yuma will feel almost i'm mediate results from the splendid advertising given it by the roy al set of newspaper boosters who are now in our midst, is just as certain as the setting of the sun. To the newspaper men and women who have taken this opportunity to visit here and see for themselves the won- ders of this section, Yuma owes a debt of gratitude which cannot be ex- pressed in words All have done mag nificently, and the Arizona Republi- can among the number, in it's cur rent issue, gives a most comprehen- sive story of the celebration, even TO a verbatim account of Governor Geo. w. P. Hunts address. Its Yuma story is So good that the Examiner herewith prints it:
 'The dedicatory ceremonies of the Yuma million-dollar siphon today were most simple, yet complete, beginning early this morning with formal speeches, continuing through the afternoon with a most elaborate and creditable parade, the days program ended tonight with a formal banquet given by the Commercial Club to the distinguished visitors and prominent citizens of Yuma and Arizona.
 "The day has been full of history making events for the growing town and the prosperous valley. Never have so many people flocked the streets, nor before has such a display of the progress and public spirit been shown Every available accommodation has been taken and people flock the streets. Fully ten thousand people saw the military and civic parade and more than two thousand attended the dedicatory ceremonies this morn ing. Every train seems to bring more people
 Under smiling skies, with thou sands of eXpectant people before them, and the turbid waters of the muddy Colorado swirling eighty feet out of the mouth of the siphon, within a stones throw, Governor Hunt of Ari- zona and Lieutenant Governor Wal lace of California, representing Gov

A big banquet will be held on the night of the 18th, to which Arizona stockmen will be admitted by ticket; National Associa- tion members will be admitted as the guests of the Arizona men. Drives up and down the valley are planned, and even now gangs of men are work ing, putting in better shape the roads of the valley.
 'The general spirit of cooperation that is being evinced by cattlemen all over the state to make this a never-to-be-forgotten occasion is very gratifying to the committee. Secre- tary Sam B. Bradner, who has charge of some of the arrangements, has spoken to me of the general good feel ing that is existing among Arizona cattlemen, and the generally expressed opinion that it is a great thing for Arizona to get meeting of such na- tional importance. Secretary T. w. Tomlinson of the National Association will shortly move his headquarters from Denver to Phoenix, to be on the ground.

 "The street parade was one of the finest ever held in the state. It was an extraordinary exhibition of local agricultural products. Other features of interest in it were the industrial floats and the Indian and military sections. The Arizona and California executives headed the procession.

HIpEBoUND COLLEGE MEN

) The reason why the under ) graduate is so amazingly inc ) capable of receiving criticism,
 why he regards it as an attack ) and why the critic must be, to
 ) him, either a "sorehead" or a ) crank" is that the undergrad

 ) spontaneous coming together of I ) all the elements of the country, ) but some hard and fast eXpres- sions of social organization to ) which he must conform or ) against which he must rebel. ) Everything is laid out for him.

SAN DIEGO INTERESTED IN GOOD ROADS
 WORK
MILLIONS ARE APPROPRIATED BY DIFFERENT STATES FOR
 ROAD BUILDING

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 20 Special to the Yuma Examiner)-If there is one subject which the entire country, and Washington in particular, is interested in more than another at the present time, it is good roads. Congress showed, at the last session, that it is keenly alive to the i'm portanc of this subject The number of bills introduced calling for national highways was surprising. Many con- gressmen are staunch advocates of the idea of building great systems of na- tional roads, and the most powerful man in Congress, Speaker Champ Clark, who missed becoming president by a very narrow margin, is one of them.
 There is no further need, it would seem, of preaching the advantages even the necessity-of good interstate highways. A system of good roads was one of the things which made Rome great and aided in continuing its great ness. Even in what was then remote province, and now is Great Britain, one may walk on roads the Romans built, treading on the very stones laid by the legionaries of the Caesars. In this country we are but beginning tc profit by the example of such ancient nations as Rome, but our Department of Agriculture has been preparing for years, through its good roads bureau, for the campaign that now has the country in it's grasp. Many millions of dollars are being appropriated by the states, from New York to California and Oregon, for extensive systems of highways, and it will not be many years before one will be able to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific over perfect roads by bicycle, motor or horse-drawn vehicle.
 The city of San Diego, Cal, is very much interested in the question. Only two or three weeks ago a motor cai race was held between that city and Phoenix, Arizona, to demonstrate the superiority of that route for the west ern division of a national highway. Mayor Wadham of San Diego was so enthusiastic over the matter that he arranged for an outlaw" race with Mir. Percy J. Benbaugh, and won it It is said that the superiority of the San Diego route was fully demonstrat- ed. And now it is planned to have a Good Roads Department at San Di- ego Exposition in 1915. The govern ment experts are counted on to make an exhibit and every motorist and other roads enthusiast in the entire country will take a keen interest iii the exhibit, which should be the most complete ever made anywhere.
