Great local automobile and road IN.
terest has been aroused by the an
nouncement of the Transcontinental
Touring Club OF America that their
Route Book covering the Borderland
Route, routed by that body, is in the
hands of the printer and viii shortly

busy season on the beautiful border
land route-giyes promise OF unpre-
cedenped travel and activity through
this territory this winter and viii uu-
doubtedly arouse considerable local
enthusiasm.
The various vice-presidents along
the route are in receipt Of letters
from the club headquarters in Chi
cago asking for detailed road reports
for the information Of tourists and
they in turn are prodding the local o..
ficials and enthusiasts 10 the upbuild-
ing OF the roads OF the community as
well as the enthusiastic support Of
the organization. that the tourists may
not only be drawn this way hut in
duce many others to follow them.
Transcontinental touring during the
fair-yeather months OF this year has
increased at an almost unbelievable
stride and Il is cefplin that winter
viii find undated activity. Fear OF
road difficulties has deferred many
from making the Transcontinental
trip over the Borderland route aud If
needs but the proper making of roads
on the Borderland Route as promised
by local officials to remove this final
obstacle.
Until this year winter transc0ntin-
entail touring has been impracticabie
because the northern and central
routes are impossible at this period
of the year. However, the TIDE II
trancontiuentai touring viii not re-
cede this winter because it will be
diverted by the efforts OF the Trans
continental Touring Club Of America
along the beautiful sunny Borderlann
route.
1t devolves upon local enthusiasts
and public spirited citizens to put the
roads of this community In the best
possible condition for this expected
travel, IL for no other reason than the
good impression it will make for the
locality on these tourists Of means
and influence, while they owe i 10
the community and the touring CLUB
to cooperate with that organization
in sny way they can.
Unprecedented cooperation Of this
nature. as well as extraordinary ae-
tlyity in all parts Of the country has
awakened a WIDER interest in Trans
continental touring than ever before
and promises to turn millions Of dol
lars as well as many desirable set
tiers and investment seekers into the
southwest who have hitherto made
Europe their haunt. Much splendid
literature has been probably circH-
lated in the east and tie organization
of at least two more gatioual touring
and road building bodies has caused
marked advancement in long touring
interest as well as bringing that point
nearer when a beneficial national leg
islatiOn may be expected
