work. About three years ago Mr..
Beasley, principally at his own ex-
penSe, constructed a horseback trail to
high Rolls along the route through
Dry canyon, but detoured somewhat
from the present road through Box
canyon By the practical application
duced Dr., Gilbert then one of tie
county commissioners, to push the
matter officially, which he did with
such success that the county board.
HaXby, Of ClOudcrOft, and ]. J. San
derS, Of TularOSa, decided to under
take the construction of the road.
County and State Construction.
Arrangements had also been per-
Iected by which the county should
build a portion Of the road and the
state the balance. Preliminary sur
Veys were made by Messrs. H. LaSalle
confronted with the problem of finding
someone who would undertake to do
the work. After about a year Of
search for such a person, V. D. Dodg-
en-, of this county, agreed to under
take it, and accordingly a contract was
made with him December 1, 1911, for
the construction of the Box canyon
portion of the road, commencing at
High Rolls and running westward
three miles, for the sum of $4,000. The
contractor was given a year in which
to complete the work. How well this
portion of the work was done, is veri-
fled by the fact that the road was
completely finished, surfaced and lev
eled by october p, 1912, about 10
months after the beginning of work.
No Accidents of Importance.
It is also significant that no acct
dent happened of any Consequence, and
yet for the most part the large force
Of WOrkmen- were at labor on steep
mountain sides, where a slip meant
instant death. The casualties were
confined to the death of two horses.
one by falling over a precipice. and
from a dynamite explosion.
In the excavations for the road 400
pounds OF dynamite was used in about
5000 charges, In the construction of
$1,000 were expended, these walls be-
ing built principally on the sharp in
ward turns, where there was some
probability of water from the mountain
sides affecting the road.
Building One Section Now.
The state has undertaken the con-
StrucuOn of the lower portion OF the
road through Dry canyon, work begin
ming ION this section several months
ago. This work is in charge of G. D.
Morrill,, of Silver City, as superintend-
ent, and is not being done under con-
been graded from the intersection with
the AlamOgOrdO and La Luz public
highway, eastward about three miles
or about two miles in Dry canyon
over a mile of grading is yet to be
done before this portion will connect
with the Box canyon end. but with the
force Of men now at work Superintend-
ent Morrill, thinks that the road will

coming summer season.

along the route each can be seen from
the other in the far distance.
Part of ROrderiand Route
This mountain highway will especi-
ally appeal to the automobiles and
primarily for his benefit the idea OF
such a road was first conceived. When
opened for operation to the summit.
where it will connect with the Cloud
croft and MescalerO road and thence
on to Roswell, the route will prove
one Of the most popular auto roads IN
the west and will be selected by a
large number of autoists en- route from
Kansas City to FL PaSO and through TO
the Pacific coast. 1t is expected that
it viii be made a link of the Border
land auto route. The road is being
finished up IA feet minimum width and
Is feet at all curves and turnOutS- The
steepest grades on the route are along
the Box canyon section, these being
made necessary in order to get over
several perpendicular bluffs, but at no
point on the road will the grade eX-
coed y percent, there being only four
places on this section where this per
cent is reached, and the longest Of
these is only 800 feet The mean ascent
is approximately a seven percent grade
through Box canyon and probably less
able that these Grades will not bs ex-
ceeded on the route from High Rolls
to the summit
4 Protecting Railing.
At points where the mountain side is
PERCEPTIONS, a railing will be run SUI
pact of a heavy machine. The up
rights will be set in concrete and will
be constructed in a most durable man
ner. The route for the road has also
been selected with a view of avoiding
watersheds in the mountains which at
certain seasons Of the year are most
destructive. To provide against the
force Of the water from the small
ravines down the mountain sides,
drainage bitches are run to the low
est points and 'culverts constructed
over them. BY these means, there is
no possibility of the road being dam
aged by freshets or snow.
The @ImPOssibIe' Accomplished
Years ago when the question: of a
county highway to the summit, up La
Luz and Fresnal canyons was dis
cussed, some Of these devOtees Of the
most direct route who had the temerity
to breach the possibility of a road
through Dry and Box canyons were
laughed at; the task seemed so stu
pendous at the time that it seemed
almost visionary to persist in such an
idea. The road was built up the two
former canyons as It now runs. but
few active spirits like c. z. Beasley.

WITH GREAT SUCCESS

The availability and economy of the
automobile in the service Of travelling
statesmen making limited routes has
been so amply proved that a great
number will be sold this year for that
purpose. An officer Of a motor car
company says that manufactures,
wholesalers and jObbers who have
equipped their short circuit men
with cars have been enthusiastic III

covered ar a far less cost and that

THE TWO METHODS IN
BUYING AN AUTOMOBILE

ct is my experience that the easiest
sale is not to the man who writes his
check the quickest" says a local auto
salesman. a good many statesmen are
delighted when they get this class of
customer, but have found that he is
invariably less than half sold and that
the work must be completed later. The
questions he should have asked about
the car he has overlooked, but they
must be put some time and the pros
pect that they will be strung along for
days and weeks by phone and in per-
son makes the sale eventually harder
one than it at first looked to be-
"On the other hand, the pleasure car
or truck prospect who wants to know
all there is to know before he buys is
invariably the sort Of man who can
give a lucid and logical reason for his
act When he buys he knows why
not sentimentaIIy why, but mechani-
caHy why. So that the probabilities
all favor his needing little attention
after his John Henry once adorns the
dotted line"
