 T had heard much about the roac from Globe to Roosevelt" said AGr Gray, but I had believed these aC counts to be too highly colored. , had never heard all of the truth ana am no longer surprised that the peo ple of Globe are so proud of this road. Scenicaly it is superb. vista after vista opening to enchant tho eye. As a road it is smooth and well { built only passing through washer three times, two short ones and one long one which would make travelinc bad in rainy seasons. it is the mosi winding road l have ever seen anC is no place for a timid driver or pas. senger. gt is narrow in many places. too narrow for cars to pass anc sbounds with sharp curves SO that one cannot see an approaching car It appears to be a dangerous road for one who has not previously trav. eled 1t and I am told that there have been numerous accidents which have not proven serious. l am only sur. prised that serious accidents have thus far been avoided. It Is a magni- flcent trip but one feels it is some what perilous.
 There were q cars 10 make the ! trip 10 Roosevelt and they were run on schedule. Our car reached the dam after a two hour run and re- msined an hour at the dam. Though familiar with pictures Of this vast project 1t surprised me when l saw ' 1t in actuality, looked down from it's fo,, fnso inc canon haIo,u ar rrron the
