NEW BLOOD ENGAGED

That even adyctisers may bring ben efits and that tis indeed an ill wind that blows no one good has been dem onstrated by the action of the Old Traik Association in selecting a north erly route through Arizona after hay ing been given the financial support of the South. Hardly an advocate of the Borderland Route did feel sucn action as hard blow to the projected highway but it now appears that i. VIII be the means Of uniting tn ecitie5 affected for joint effort to secure a transcontinental highway
 The south has ever sought the sup, port of Phoenix for the Borderland Route hut the capital city has remain ed at best warm until the present time Now comes the invitation from Phoe. nix to unite for mutual protection The action of the Old Trails Associa- tion is bringing about an awakening This is shown by the following tele- gram received yesterday morning by the Commercial Club;

 Secretary MaTicopa Auto Club, Deal' Sir:-Your night letter of tho bth received this morning.
 Action along she lines you suggest has already been taken up by this or ganization and last Saturday letters were sent to Senators Smith and Ash urst and Representative Hayden ask. ing their opposition to any measure which did not provide for the trans continental highway passing through the most populous sections of Arizona and calling attention to the leaving of the map Douglas, Pisbee, Tombstone, Tucson, Florence. Phoenix and Yuma. We shaH be glad to have and will warmly Welcome concerted action along this line
 We of tbe south have frequently sought the support oi Phoenix for the BOrderiaud Route, the only feasible all the year around route and if the ac- ton of the Old Trails association win unite you W ith us, give us your warm support instead Of opposition or neu- trality that action will not have been without good fruit.
 The Rorderland Route taps the most ropulUus portions Of the state and gives the tourist th chest idea of re sources besides being scenicall fine. II rasses through Douglas with its tv . great smeiters, through Lowell and Bisbee. the Warren district, with the great Copper Mines, over the divide, through the most beautiful canyon in the south of the state to quaint and historic Tombstone. Across the San Pedro to Pima county a through the beautiful CatalInas. over 9 magnificent scenic highway 10 aid Tucson, thence on to Florence. thence 70 Phoenix and through the rich Salt River Valley and then on to Yuma.
 The route we have advocated pass. es through the two richest countries t'achise and Maris0pa, through the chief cities Of the state, Bisbee, PhOe nix. Tucson. Douglas and Yuma. Nc other proposed route does this. W. trust Maricopa can see the adyantag} of it. the second county in wealth and population, poiuing with Cochise, tho leader
 Our letters to Washington dwell or the leaving off Che highway of tht cities mentioned as we'll as Clifton Norenci. Globe and Prescott If f D, impossible to put all of hese cite. on highway certainly the most i'm .portant counties should not be so left off. The fact that a stete highway i' included in the Porderlaud route is further argument
 The club sincerely trusts that the ac tfon of the Old Trails Association will bring ali Of us into cooperation art
