How two young men, students of law, and churchmen, brought up in the civilized and enlightened town of Putnam, could go directly from church with the intent of setting fire to lum- Der yards and houses, destroying the property of unsuspecting men and en- dangering life, is a question for psy- chologists to answer. To the ordinary man it seems unaccountable.-Mid Middle town Sun.

find that on April Is we wrote
to Mr.. Francis Lester of Messilla
Park, N, M, as follows;
i sincerely hope you and your
friends may attend our convention
and let this question of the west
ern end of the road for which we
shall stand be definitely adopted. "
On April I6 we wrote Mr.. c. H.
Akers, OF Phoenix, Ariz., as fol-
lows:
Sincerely hoping that you may
bring a large delegation from
Phoenix and surrounding country
to our convention, and there lei
the people OF Arizona get together
and definitely settle the question,
and rest assured that whatever
action majority OF your people
take will be ratified and approved
by our convention.
This is exactly as provided for
by the constitution of our asso-
citation.
As indicating the temper and
disposition of the late convention,
it may be permissible to add that
had the Southern Arizona or
the Borderland people been as
enthusiastic in looking after their
own interests as were the North
ern Arizona delegation, the results
undoubtedly would have been
different. Col. Walter Williams,
Dean of the school of journalism
of the State University of Mis-
souri, member of the committee
on revision of the constitution,
while signing the report of the
committee on the settlement OF
this question as the constitution
required, did not hesitate to ex-
press very strongly his prejudices
in favor OF the Borderland Route.
This was but natural, as over this
route marched the great Missou-
rian, General Doniphan, and he
felt, as every other we'll informed
person feels, that Doniphan

Dear Sir:
When charged with double
dealing" and unfairness, as the
officers OF this association have
been by some of the people OF the
southwest, it is a little difficult to
retain our temper and suppress
the temptation to reply in kind.
However, the only answer we
shall make is to quote from cores
pondence had with different iudi-
viduals in that part OF the country
prior to our late convention.

nix, Ariz., as follows:

your association received.
hardly know how to express our
deep appreciation OF this unso-
licited action OF your organiza-
ton. | sincerely hope that the
future will fully sustain the good
opinion and good will expressed
in these resolutions.
The only trouble we have had
in trying to make a map of the
Old Trails Road has risen from
the fact that the road through
Arizona and California was left in
the air by the action of our con-
vention last April. The resolu-
tions adopted at that convention
contained the following clause:
from Santa Fe west on the most
historic and scenic route to the
Pacific Ocean. The constitution
adopted at that convention says:
from Santa Fe along the line OF
the most historic and scenic route
to the Pacific Ocean as decided
upon by the several states" Now
the only way left to settle this
matter definitely and for all time
is for the people of Arizona q
mean of course the Good Roads
people, to get together and agree
The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1913-06-06

upon a route, and our convention
of April 20 and 80 will undoubtedly
ratiiy and approve such selection.
Article 4, Sec. I, OF our con-
stitution, provides that any meet.
ing all members present from
each state shall be permitted to
cast only 20 votes, provided that
no state shall be allowed more
votes than the number of its mem
bers present.

1t is highly important that a
good delegation should attend
this meeting.
The situation could not well
be brighter for the attainment OF
our purpose than it is at present.
We are assured OF success and
that too much earlier than many
think, if we get together and
stand together with full unanimity
and enthusiastic purpose in the
attainment Of our great project.
Hoping to meet you and many
of your people at our annual

Highway. Black, OF Kansas, took
the same position and argued it
strenuously. President Lowe,
who has gone to almost unwar-
ranted lengths in advocacy of this
route, when deciding that this
question was now settled, def
nitely and for all time by the
action of this convention, said:
Anticipating that this question
would come up for settlement at
this convention, | was very care
full to write repeated letters to Mr..
Francis, of Messilla Park, n. NJ, /,
MIR. Grindell, of Douglas, Ariz. J,
Mr.. Akers, OF Phoenix, Ariz., and
others urging them to be here in
force SO as to settle this question
finally. Now, as indicating my
personal view in this matter-and
| want you to take this for what
it is worth-I want to say that
our first convention adjourned
without having designated any
road west of Santa Fe, and we
got out a map OF the entire road
marked tentative and followed
the Old Canine Real from Santa
Fe to Ell Paso, and then by way
of the Borderland Route, through
Phoenix and Yuma to Los An
geles. We stated emphatically,
however, that this was done with
out authority, so that nobody
could be mislead or imposed upon
by it. But it did indicate the
kind of personal feeling we have
had in the matter, and tell you
frankly, | did it because of the
historical nature OF that end of
the road, and the history and SEN
timent attached to it. / knew
Doniphan we'll, and loved him as
a father. | did sympathize very
much with the idea of that route
on historical grounds, and on per-
sonal grounds as we'll, and be-
cause | had been led to believe
that it was the most feasible and
practicable route. But our con-
stitution settles that question.
The people Of Arizona have come
here and, pursuant to the pro-
visions of that constitution, this
question has been turned over to
them, and they as members and
stockholders in this convention
have decided by majority vote in
favor of the Grand Canyon route. ;"
And thereupon the president
announced that the motion amend
ing the constitution definitely,
locating the western end OF the
route was declared adopted.
The charge that the convention
was packed" is utterly unwar-
ranted, as the delegates attending
from the west were stockholders
and members of this association.
They had a right to attend its ses-
sions and to take any action
which they saw fit. They were a
live, wide-awake bunch, abso-
lutely frank and fair in their de-
meanor, and won their contention
in open and fair contest. They
are entitled to the highest respect
for the manly manner in which
they presented their claims, and
from information received since
the convention adjourned, we are
much inclined to the opinion that
no mistake was made in thus def
nitely locating the western end of
this road.
1t is settled definitely and for
all time, and it but remains that
we shall now unite and stand as
one man in favor of the entire in
tegrity of the road as adopted at
this convention.
Yours very truly,
]. M. LOWE.

and vouches for the truthfulness of
the strange tale. He had a pair of

gave her four eggs and also put four
under the rooster. The hen did not
