Durango-Gallup Highway Assured.
Through the efforts of E. E. Young
the highway to Gallup seems assured,
1t has been the policy of those di-
recting the road buildging in New

ways first. In his recent trip to San
ia Fe as delegate to the Republican
convention from San Juan county, Mr..
houhS udu ScNeTdl COHltTeHCeS WIN
Governor Mcdonald and State Engi-
neer French regarding the highway,
and the portion of the road within
San Juan county's borders. The re-
suit is that the governor and Mr..
French appreciate the necessity of de-
parting for the usual custom in ia
vor of San Juan county and to appro-
pirate funds toward constructing the
portion of the highway in the county
Supt. Shelton has built a good auto
road from the hogback to Shiprock,
and the agent on the reservation
south has been assured of govern
ment aid for the construction of the
road across his portion Of the reser-
vation. On the occasion Of the gov
ern0r's visit TO Aztec during the fair
next week, he will submit a PROPOSE
ton regarding the appropriation. This
will probably be an offer to appropri-
ate certain sum, il the county will
duplicate it. The construction Of the
road will be Of untold benefit to this
portion of Colorado as well as New
Mexico as much traffic now taking
the Robin Hoods barn route by rail,
