But the people of Dona Ana county
were not easily satisfied They do
things In big way down there, and
they wanted no halfway measures.
Furthermore. the benefits Of the good
roads movement became apparent
long before the hundred thousand dol
lars was anything like all gone. The
result was a vote to authorize an Is
sue OF another hundred thousand dol
lars OF good roads bonds, which was
carried by majority which proved a
triumph OF the public spirit and en-
terprse. Done Ana county now
ranks with the most advanced com
munties In the United States in the
splendid system of highways of which
she boasts.
This statement may sound like an
exaggeration. but IL can easily be
proved by visit to that county.

Some of the Benefits.
The benefits of this policy on the
part Of the state and the progressive
counties of New Mexico are apparent
on every hand. The value of farm
products has increased TO an almost
unbelievable extent The average
value of the land itself has more than
doubled since the movement began.
Schools have sprung up in places that
n short while ago were little more
than wldernesses. Enlightenment.

thousands Who Marvel at
the Progress Of the State,

For n long time-in fact. until
comparatively few years ago--there
was always an argument when any
body proposed liberal expenditures
for the building and maintenance OF
better roads. Usually the negative
side of the proposition won for those
were the days when road building was
regarded as a fad and pcnuriOua
economy In the expenditure of the
money Of the dear pee-pull'" the
grentests Of all the virtues.
Happily, that day has passed. II
passed when the automobile came In
to existence. Regarded at first as a

greatest blessings that ever came to

him.
Now, you can't get up an argument
when you mention the matter OF good
roads. Everybody who has eyes to
see has seen that they are the greatest
aid to good times that has ever been
Invented. They ARE no longer re-
garded as a luxury--thcy are clearly
recognized as necessity The ques-
ton Is not, shall we spend money To
Improve our highways, but how much
money have we got to spend for that
purpose.

leader Of some big league club.
Chance admits that one team is after
him already, and the field may be
widened, now that Husk owes no al
legiance to the Yanks.
One report is that Chance may
come to the White Sox. President
Comiskey processes to be entirely sat
isfied with the work of Manager Cal
lahan, and, even should Callahan be
promoted to an executive position
with the club, it is likely that Kid
Gleason would get the first crack at
the pilots job with the South Side
crew.
Either Chance or Gleason would be
good directors for the type of ath-
letes now employed on the South
Side. They would find a ready-made
pitching staff of the highest ability
and excellent material for the other
positions, which needs only the driV-
ing tactics of the two veterans to
make it show it's best stuff.
President Gilmore. of the Federal
League says the third circuit cannot
afford to pay Chances price, which
eliminates that angle from cOnsidera-
ton.
Because Chance didn't win a PEN
nant for the Yanks, or even lift them
into the first division, there are many
criticisms and charges that he failed
as a manager. Because, of his great
success with the Cubs too much was
expected.
Now the carpers are saying that
Chance was successful here because
he was handed a ready-made team
and had no work to do in order to
land pennants. But Chance took the
Yanks, a hopelessly tail-end gang,
and secured some good bauplayers.
The team is in seventh place now,
but it is playing good ball and had
an excellent chance of finishing fifth.
1t must also be taken into consid-
Grafton that the P. L. was up against

fore he had crack at the weaker
western punches.
The result was many defeats. It
is a wonder that Chances team did
not lose all it's spirit in the first six
weeks of. the season and curl up alb
jectly. But Chance forced them to
rally.
Clarke Griffith and George Stall
ings also failed as Yank managers,
though each finished higher than
Chance. They were forced to step
out.
That indicates that there is trouble
within the club. 1t points to inter
ference with the work of the man
ager, and no boss can succeed under
such conditions.
Whatever they say of Chance in
the east, he was the Peerless Leader
here on the West Side, and as such
will be remembered when his mis-
fortunes with the Yanks are for
gotten.
Roger Peckinpaugh will take
charge of the Yanks for the re-
mainder of the season. Negotiations
are on with Jack Dunn with view
to having him take over the team
next spring.
Joe Tinker, taking a leaf from Geo.
Stallings' baseball book, has decided
to work three star pitchers in rotation
in an effort to land the first pennant
in the Federal League.
Hendrix, johnson and Brennan are
all in shape for frequent duty, and
will pitch every third day from now
to the end of the season. Tinker has
only 20 games to play, so the strain
should not be too great for a trio of
boxmen.
Hendrix opened the program yes
terday. He pitched a double-header
last Saturday, but volunteered for
work when he heard the managers
plans. Pittsburgh eked four hits off
his delivery, and the victory was soft
