FROM GLOBE ID KELVIN
 OVER TIE NEW HIGHWAY
pr. Baker Tells "Friend Peter" How Much Better 1t Is To Travel
 That Way

Among the men who travel all over the state between the begin ming and end of each year is Dr. Jesse H Baker. the well known op- tician, who recently made the trip from Globe to Kelvin over the auto mobile stage that is now running between those two places. Recently a friend hearing that Dr. Baker in tended to make the trip wrote to him and asked the doctor to let him know what he thought of the trip and this is the sort of answer that was written to him:
 FRIEND PETERS, am so pleas ed with the new way of transporta- tion between Globe and Kelvin via the new Globe Kelvin auto stage route that | am writing you this let ter expressing my appreciation.
 Nov not only the long round- about. tedious more expensive route by rail is avoided but also the tire some ride in the old slow going stage does not have to be endured.
 "Compared with the old slow go- ing stage the new auto service is like a high class scenic moving pie ture film as compared with the old style magic lantern show.
 ne nOunldlH p6dhS, lH6 SUI St9 with their groWths of dark ever green, pines and hemlocks, inter spersed with the lighter green of de- cidious groWths, the view of plains and mountain range after mountain range in the distance as seen from the heights the giant sajuara as you go down into the valley of the Gila, fit by you in an ever changing panorama. The mountain breezes, flaming your cheek as you glide swiftly on your way, altogether makes a trip never to be forgotten.
 To the traveller who wishes to See the biggest and best of every thing in nature the sajuara along the GiIa near Kelvin are worth his while. For in no other place in the west does the giant cactus grow so large and in such profusion as in this region
 Almost before you know it the film has run out. The hum of the picture machine has ceased. In reality it is the motor of your auto that has stopped. You rub your eyes, you almost think you are reading the words "One moment please to change the pictures" You rub your eyes again before you fairly realize where you are it has all happened so quickly and that what you are looking at is really the sign on the depot. Ray Junction, and that the waiting train is real and not a shadow. And, presto, the scene has indeed changed, you are on the train bound for Ray. Hayden. Win kleman or down the canyon of the Gna toward Phoenix. You pass by Florence. where in the distance you have view of the penitentiarY. Then on you go soon through thous- ands of acres of green alfalfa, and fields of cotton, and pastures stocked with herds of fat grazing cattle. And after only eight hours from the time of leaving Globe you are eating dinner in Phoenix.
 And because you have enjoyed the trip and the day you are glad you are alive. And though you were sorry to leave the beautiful busy city of Globe, yet you are glad you are in Phoenix, the capital and the bustling, growing metropolis of Arl- zona. And you are especially pleas ed with yourself that you decided to come by way of the Globe Kelvin Auto Stage.
 sincerely Yours,
 JESSE H. BAKER
