 Nowadays it is the fashion to con ceive large plans about national and interstate roads With the coming of the motor car and the consequent widening of mans daily travel hori- zon, it became necessary to provide him with roads, and the varied and continuous agitation for routes. and highways is the result Organizations with milions-on paper-have been formed. pushed forward affiliated, severed instructed and resurrected, until there are now maps containing veritable networks of proposed routes.'
 Open the Year Round
 There is one fact about the Bor- derland route that absolutely cannot be cited in connection with any other route. And that is the open-the-year- round prOpOSltlon by NlfJue oL lIllS fact, the Borderland route in it's va rious phases and under different guidances has been much before the public, since routes became fashiona- ble First as a link in an east to west national highway, the Border land became known to roadmen. It was in turn the Rocky Mountain Passage way for the routes to the sunset of a dozen different associa- tions. the National Old Trails ocean to ocean highway association, being the last This. itself, was an af- filiation of a number of different as sociations all hoping to pave a smooth way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. But since the change in plan of the N. e. T. o. o.

highWaydom. And the life raft was built in this way. It was proposed to form an association right here in the states through which the Border land route passes-an association whose first object would he to be diff ferent from any of the Hurried and presently moribund organizations now in existence. The new body would refuse to bite off more than it could masticate.
 The agitation for the Tri-Statc Bor- derland route association was immc- diately taken up by The Republican. which has never failed to support highway improvement within and without the state. One of the first things put forward to assist the new association was the proposal for an Fl Paso to Phoenix road race for next fair time. q race that would meet the classic Republican cup race over the western lap of the Borderland from Los Angeles and thus mark with an indelible pencil the two lines of the highway converging in the capital city of the state of Arizona. Some time before The Republican had been i'm strumentaI in running a motorcade from Phoenix to Tucson. along the State Highway" which in time will he a part of the route across the state
 The Borderland route association as proposed does not contemplate the inn mediate smoothing of every bump in the road the pavement of the thous- and or so miles electric lights and starters at every curve or palms and shrubs along the wavside. It simply proposes to agitatc, in such ways as it can. the question of expcuding the proper share of state and county money on the one route, so that the worst of the washes. the bridges and sandy spots can he repaired.

For the most part these have been young men from Prescott. some bent on seeing what military camp looks like, others with half q mind to enlist r, the latter class the visit was q lesson What they saw must have impressed them and will make the reorganization work to be resumed at the conclusion of the encampment just that much easier.
 Captain CoykcndalI is the recruit ing officer and his efforts have all ready resulted in the lining up of pretty nearly enough men to make the company. His work is being directed along the line of securing only such cnlistmcnts as will be q credit to the organization when per tectcd and he is moving with eau ton. He promises that when the company is finally mustered in it will be a body of young men of which every man. woman and child in Prescott will be proud and which will one day be the pride of Arizona.
 In furtherance of the movement of rcorganizing Company l., the Pres colt Chamber of Commerce on Thurs day evening lent it's moral support in the passage of q resolution ap- proving the proposed company and promising to assist Colonel Harris and Captain Cokkcndal in every way possible within the power of that organization.

 As to the present condition of the route, it is in general very good. From Fl Paso to the Arizona line. the road is pretty fair, being the auto boulcvards of the Pass City, Dcming and Lordsburg. Tn Arizona the road is in spots better and some places worse than it is in New Mexico Tn the main. however, the route is good The condition of the lap between Tucson and Phoenix could scarcely be improved without the installation of many culverts across the washes which cut the road badly in places.
 Through the valley of the Salt, tho road passes through it's best and worst stages Smooth as velvet in some stretches it invites dressed up travel, and dusty or muddy as back woods trails at other points it for bids everything but farm wagons and weather clad motorists.
