No reasonable objection be raised to q section of the national highway abutting upon Col Dell Potters famous fruit farm, but would not like that arrangement interfere any way with the Borderland route which is undoubtedly the best and which is destined be the great passage way for transcOntinental travel
 But, at the same time Col. Potters fruit farm must be recognized not merely because it is a fruit farm which will instruct and delight the passing tourist, but because it's is Col Potter, the foremost roads enthusiast of this state and of the foremost in. the country. He is the pioneer of the work here. To his untring zeal ceaseless agitation may be traced the present state interest in good roads.

Make this q day. There is no gain.
In brooding over days to come;
The message OF today is plain,
The futures lips are ever dumb
The work Of yesterday is gone
For good or ill, let come what may
But now we face another dawn
Make this a day.
Though yesterday we failed to see
The urging hand and earnest face
That men call opportunity;
We failed to know the time or place
For some great deed; what need to fretY
The dawn comes up silver gray
And golden moments must be met
Makes this day.
This day is yours; your work is yours;
The odds are not who pays your hire,
The thing accomplished--that endures,
If it be what the days require.
He who takes up his daily round,
As one new armored Tor the fray,
Tomorrow steps on solid ground
Make this a day.
The day is this, the time is now;
No better hour was ever here;
Who waits upon the when and how
Remains forever in the rear,
Though yesterday were wasted stuff,
Your feet will still seek out the way,
Tomorrow holds not time enough
Make this day.
