 Senate

Senator Mark Smith has sent to the Daily Review a copy of the bill which he has introduced into the United States senate. providing for an appropriation of five million acres of land, 10 be used and held in trust for the construction of roads and bridges in the new state. As the sur veyor general is not state officer an amendment will be proposed to supplant the surveyor on the commis sion by the state engineer. Senator smith says that he had received some encouragement in the senate for this measure before it was introduced. Following is the bill:
 A bill granting lands to the state of Arizona for construction and main tenance ol roads, highways and bridges.
 Be 1t enacted by the senate and house of representatives Of the Unit. cd States of America, in congress as sembled, that for the purpose of con structing and maintaining and assist. ing in the construction and main tenace Of pubic roads and bridges in the state of Arizona thzre is hereby granted 10 said state five million acres Of the public lands within the limits Of said state.
 Section 2. That such lands hereby granted shall be selected and located, subject to the approval of the secre- tary of the interior, from the unrc- served. Unappropriated and non-min- eral lands within the limits of said state by a commission composed of the surveyor general governor, and commissioner Of public lands Of said state. and shall be selected in tracts Of not lass than forty acres. and such selections shall conform to the public surveys made by the United States, or by such state under the approval of the secretary Of the interior.
 Section 3. That such lands may be leased or sold, as may be provided by the laws Of the state Of Arizona, but shall not De sold until after ap praisement and advertisement for not less than four weeks in a newspaper published in the district where such lands are located, and shall only be sod to the highest bidder at such sale, and at price m. lesI ssan one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre

 PROPER ROUTE
Boosters for South Trail to Meet Mir. Drumm in Fl PasO Next
 Sunday
GIVE ROUTE A BOOST

T. A. Hughes will represent the Warren District Commercial club at the Fl Paso meeting of Borderland route enthusiasts, to be held upon the arrival Of Mir. Drum, of the trans continental tours club. who Is en route from Dodge City, Kansas. to El Paso by automobile. It was expected that word would be received by the Commercial club last night as 10 The exact date or Drums arrival in the Fass City. but nothing wis heard.
 It Is regretable that the Times of El Paso will be notified today when MT. Drum will arrive. The or iginally scheduled date was Sunday, and if this still holds, Mir Hughes will probably take tonight's train for Fl Paso.
 At Fl Paso a Borderland Route as- sociation will be formed, and the War ren District Commercial club will be a member of the organization. From Fl Paso Mir. Drum will be piloted to Deming by Fl Paso Borderland route boosters, and the party will be met at Deming by Bisbee and Douglas boosters. and brought to this city From Bisbee, Mir. Drum will be pi loted to Tucson by J. J. Bowen, oi the Commercial club good roads com mittee.
 Dr. N. c. Bledsoe, chairman of the club good roads committee, has re ceived a letter from John s. Mitchell. president of the Ocean-to-Ocean High way association or California, relative to the request that the Times path finding car ben scent over the Bor- derlsnd route
 In the letter is another echo of the noted good roads meeting at Phoe- nix, where the northern route was agreed upon and saetioned by dele gates from Arizona, New Mexico and California The letter says:
 Thank you very much for your telegram Of the 18th inst. note your request to have the Times car. with the ocena-to-ocean highway organizer make the trip via Bisbee. There are many reasons why the route you sug- gest would be most ideal, and there is no doubt in my mind but that route is going to cut a very import ant part in good road develoT ment throughout Arizona, and you may de pend on my help in every way possi- ble to secure that result. But l am unable to direct the Times car to make the trip via the Borderland route. foy the reason that I am bound by instructions of the Phoenix con vention to send the car via Phoenix, Globe and Clifton. l am sure you will understand my position in the matter, and at the same time l hope you will appreciate the fact that no one realizes more than l do the many advantages presented by your route"
 It is regTettable that the Times car may not be sent over the Bor- derland route, but at the same time the admission of the president of the highway association that the instructions of the Phoenix rather than the feasibility Of routes. is the ruling influence Of tho nathinders. is appropriate and material for the support CTS of the BOrderland Route.
 The policy of the Ocena-to-Ocean Highway association was shown by
