Wool Dryinu.

Wool drying is one Of the principal
and serious operations in the wooden
industry. The more gently and uni
formly the wool is dried the better is
the result attained, for should the
wool be slightly damp in some Of it's
parts the dye does not take we'll, and
the result is an %unevenly dyed yarn,
which shows in the texture Of the
woven goods. Overdrying Is also bad.

epoch in the further spread of prog.

the history of the "Old Pueblo"
when it is no longer a one-railway
town, but puts one of the best cities
in Arizona in position where it has
the benefit of real railway competi-
ton and the services of an addi-

sally conceded to be just about the

COUNTY HIGHWAYS
TO Be REPAIRED
Road Board is Busy Inspect
ing and Preparing Accu-
rate Surveys
$4,000 TO BE EXPENDED
Borderland Route Via Demine
Forms Link in Ocean-to-
Ocean Highway.

The newly appointed County
Road Board contemplates making
extensive improvements in the
roads Of Luna county, just as soon
as the $4,000, our share of the
state road bond issue just carried,
is received. These bonds will be
offered for sale at Santa 'Fe in a
very short time and it is likely that
they will be Immediately bought up
BY eastern capitalists. At present
the board has only about $500 of
county funds to its credit, which
were turned over by the board of
county commissioners. The activ-
tiles of the new board are limited
lust now to inspections and surveys.
By the time the funds are received
comprehensive highways plan
will have been evolved and its ex.
ecution will be but the matter of a
few months.
TRUNK LINES FIRST.
The intention of the board. which
consists of DR.. r. c. Hoffman, Roy
Bedichek and G. M. Sadler, all of
Deming, is to give attention to the
trunk lines first, thereby helping
the greatest number of people pos
sible. By trunk lines is meant the
highways traversing the county in
the direction of the four cardinal
points and intersecting in or near
Deming. which is the center of popu-
lation.
ROADS RUNNING SOUTH.
To the south are two main roads,
one of them known as the Old Grade
Road, runs over an old railroad
grade and is in excellent condition.
This road leads to Columbus through
the Gap Country and is probably
in better condition than any road in
Luna county, barring a few short
stretches on which private funds
have been expended. The Hondale
road running little west of south,
as the Old Grade runs east OF south,
is in poor condition most of the year,
especially in the wet season. The
soil is adobe and the water stands
and forms great mudholes. Even
in the dry season it is a nerve'rack'
ing experience to go over this road
in a motor car. The board will
probably give this road a surfaclne
of gravel or calechi.
ROADS RUNNING NORTH.
The Silver City road is a much
travelled highway and is one OF the
best examples of good natural road
bed in the Southwest. Much OF this
road, however, does not follow th'
section lines, and just north OF th'
bridge is being fenced. This is 1
great loss, as the highway was grav
elcd for considerable distance
The road TO Albuquerque, which io'
lows the Santa Fe tracks, is a YER!
good natural road.
ROADS RUNNING WEST AND EAST
The road west to Tunis is a par
of the Borderland Route and is tn
outlet for the Red Mountain dis
trict. 1t is not in poor cond'tlon
but a little work will improve II
The road to Luxor and Carne is ais
