Roads Breed Roads

1t is universal experince that
one mile of good roads breeds an
other mile. Put a Statewide, good
road down anywhere in this
country and in ten years there
will be dozens of good roads
reaching it from all parts of the
State. Put down a system of
National Highways, built and
maintained by the National
Government, and the various
State Legislatures and county
officials would soon see the ad-
vantages of connecting all parts
of the states with those National
roads.
There are two million miles of
roads in the United States The
fifty thousand miles of highway
shown on the mapi is but fraction
over two per ceut of this mileage.
But improve these fifty thousand
miles into good roads, and keep
them good roads by proper
maintenance, and fifty thousand
miles more would grow almost
over night, and then another fifty
thousand and another and an
other. until our great country,
with it's hugh territory, would be
crossed and recrossed with good
roads, as France is today.

National Convention of
StOckmen

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 18. 1913.
The National Live Stock Con-
vention has just finished it's ses-
sions and is said, by all who at
tended, that it was the most en-
thusiastic and the most widely
attended ever held in the history
of the Association.
Thirty-fve states were repre-
sented by delegates and over
five hundred delegates took part
and attended the sessions, even
Canada was represented.
Every minute was an interest
ing one and every delegate goes
back home feeling that it was
time and money we'll spent in
coming to this conventions, in
mld-winter and yet beautiful and
sunny.
On Tuesday night the Conven-
tion was banqueted at the beau.
tiful Hotel Adams the round
up" lasted till 2 o'clock in the
morning, and no record was kept
Of the camp fire stories or the re-
lating of pioneer days but every
body was happy.
On Friday about $50 automo-
biIes carrying something like
ZOO men and 800 women left at
9 o'clock for Granite Reef for
one of the biggest barbecues
ever planned, and to see the
beautiful Salt River valley and
the Roosevelt Diversion dam. No
one will tell you that he can, in
fitting language, discribe this
trip.
All in all, this convention was
a record breaker and for love-
feasting, good will and meeting
of old friends it made the stock
men feel like boys" again.
Those attending from Greenlee
and Graham counties were: w. !,
T. Witt, Duncan; John R. Cromb
and L. +. Sweeting, Clifton; A.
T. Wilson, Double Circle; w. E..
Cureton, Steeplerock, On. M 2.

president OF the association and
of the Arizona Republi-
can worked increasingly for the
of the convention and
proved that Phoenix was all that
he had represented her to be.
