Possibilities of Friction.
The matter of transcOntinental high
ways has within it great possibilities
for local friction and antagOnism. One
year one route is heralded as the only
transcOntinental highway to pass
through New Mexico. Another year a
few energetic citizens, filled with the
o enthusiasm Of local pride, capture an
organization and change the line Of
that route through another locality,
and a great victory has been accom-
plished. The next year still another
change is made. and so it goes. The art
of building tranScCntinental highways
with a 12-inch ruler, a map, a lead
pencil. and an office table, is an ap-
parently new profession. say about
five years old. But it has produced
greater experts in that short time and
more enthusiasm than any other in
