 parties consisting of Hon. O. D. M. Gaddis, E. F. Thompson, George w.
 Mark, Vidal w. Garesche, George
 Kayser,s" Stewart Thompson, J. w. Gerritt and Anson H. Smith.
 At Kingman reception was held, and later in the evening one of the most enthusiastic gatherings of good roads boosters was gather ed at the courthouse to learn the proposition forwarded by ths automo- bile representatives. Many women were present and took earnest part in the meeting. Judge Root. of Needles, made report on the matter of bridge crossing at Topock and the action taken by the Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles and the Auto Club, which would indicate that results would soon be forthcoming. Addresses were made by O. K. Parker, Carl McStay. Judge Krook, E. F. Thompson and others. A resolution calling on the board of supervisors of the county to co operate with the Auto Club of Southern California in the work of signing the roads across Mohave county with the emblem of the Ma tional Old Trails Roads was unani- mous'y adopted. As this county has established signs at all necessary points along the road there will be but small expense in this connection.
 Messrs. McStay and Parker are &C., companied by their wives ard intend to make the trip to Kansas City. possi bly, the eastern seaboard, by automo- bile. During their stay in Kingman they were the guests of the City and were sent on their way rejoicing.
 The two men are enthusiastic over the work done by M0have and San Bernardino counties and the manner in which this county has sigped up the roads. It is their opinion that more than fifty per cent of the automobile travel across the country will come this way and that thousands of tourists from California will visit the Grand Canyon before another year. making the trip across our roads.
 M. G. Wagner. in his big Garford took the party to Prescott, by way of Seligman and Ash Fork Monday last and will probably accompany them as far as Albuquerque. Mr. Parker has always been a booster for this route and now that roads are being built and the way made possible they will cer- tainly recommend it highly to the automobile touri ts as we'll as to the Auto Clubs.
 Tuesday morning the board of Super visors agreed to take care of the ex. penss of the additional signs along the route from Topock to Nelson and also informed the petitioners that the roads would be built just as fast as money could be secured to do the work.
 If any one is skeptical of the good work being done by the board of supervisors of this county let him make the trip from Kingman to To- pock. On the trip down last Saturday the two machines made the sixty miles In three hours and fifteen minutes and returned in approximately the same running time. The road is fast be- coming boulevard and when con- pleted to connection with the Gold road highway will enable the autoist to drive to Yucca in one hour, a dis tance of 26 miles. A big force of men and teams are working on the road every day and the grade is fast assum- ing shape. When this work is done it IS the intention later to go over the road and resurface tho soft places. and put in cuverls to carry the flood waters at points opposite the bridges and culverts of the railroad. When this road is graded and rolled it will be largely travelled. Mohave county people may feel pleased with the good work of thelr board of supervisors in getting the road work moving along so rapidly and bringing results where former boards failed or refused. With the money from the sale of bonds authorized by the people the board will give the people system of good roads that will enable them to % to
