 stale. but his kick is against the mana. gers of the Old Trails Association for misrepresentation. Now, even in this Tom is wrong. The Old Trails As sociation did not misrepresent the matter one iota. They told the south ern people just what they told the people of the north-that the states west of Santa Fe would have to get to- gether and adopt some route that would be feasible, historic and scenic. Everything in the matter of the selec- ton of the route was to be absolutely | in the hands of the members of the as sociation from these states-New Mexico. Arizona and California. When the call for the meeting was sent out the people of the south re- ceived the same notices sent to the members in the north The northern people got busy and they got the route, so far as the Old Trails Association is concerned. If Col Weedin will please take note of the methods of the people of Phoenix, he will learn that no other locality can really tie up with them, because they are favoring only routes that eventually lands tourists in that town. Florence is not on the latest map that they are preparing, the route passing through Springer vile, over the mountain to Globe. Roosevelt and Phenix. They are ask | ing and demanding that boards of trade and chambers of commerce all over the south take action to nullify the action of the Old Trails Associa- tion, but their individual acts to put the other towns out of commission must not be held against them. They can agree with Springerville. or they can agree with El Paso, over the rout. ing of the transcontinental line, but none of the towns that they give the go by to should >quall, because it is PheniX that is asking the favor and demanding it at the same time. But no one need worry about the route. It is where it always will be, along the most historic and scenic route on earth, The Santa Fe-Grand Canyon. Needles National Highway.
 Ray P. Wheelock returned from a visit to his old home in Michigan, as we'll as having taken in the good roads meeting at Kansas City.

Wheelock was one of the best } boosters at the Old Trails meeting, and his good work showed to advant. age in the making of the big map that was on exhibition in the convention hall.
