WILL ATTRACT MANY TOURISTS

The Route Book Of the Transcon-
tinentaI Touring Club Of America
has just issued from the press. 1t
presents the lure of the Southwest
trails in new and attractive man
ner. The object of the book is to
attract that class OF motorists who
have been in the habit Of touring
foreign lands and who hold the be-
lief that on the Continent are better
roads, scenery and accommodations.
A complete log Of the route is given
from Dodge City, Kansas, to San
Diego, California and a generous
space is allotted to Deming and the
many attractions Of this section.
| Why the Borderland Route was
adopted is told in the following eX-
cerpt from the preface:
However, the tide has already
turned, as statistics show that last
year over 5000 automobile parties
visited Colorado and enriched that
state by over So, 600, 600. The trans
continental movement has but just
started and will grow to an almost
unbelievable volume by the time of
the Panama-Paciic eXpositions on
the coast in 1918,
1T is the purpose of this club to
care for this travel and direct it
through fertile territory, combining,
not alone the scenic and historic
attractions, hut the hest roads and
those more progressive communities
where may be- grasped opportuni-
ties Of finance and commerce as
well.
Thus it is that the Iransconti-
mental Tourist Club Of America has
selected the BorjerIand route and
the Panama. Pacific Trail as the basis
Of this route book, for American
touring for American motorists and
to keep one of the prime objects of
this organization is to provide IN
this country the millions which are
: annually spent abroad, to further
p build up the roads of this continent
I and to aid in the expansion anC
progress of the wide-awake.
p Last year Europe alone was en-
q riched by many millions of dollars
:. spent in communities a5utting tn,
q highways.
