The road meets a line at LOvington,

The great advantages of this line
from the PecOs valley to FL PasO are
its short distances, its level grades and
uniformly good roads. its water supply.
and the fact that ii is open TO travel
every week in the year. The distance
from Artesia to FL PasO over this line
is 10 miles. Other lines run 2Z5 miles
or more. The grades are level and the
road bed easily kept up. And the roads
are always in good condition On no
other auto road in the southwest Is
water so evenly distributed over SO
long a run. And water IS very neces-
sary thing to automobiles Since the
first run was made 10 I'll Paso by au-
tomobile the road has never been closed
on account of winter weather. That
first run was probably about five years
ago although it is hard to locate the
first machine which made the run. The
lower altitude of this road as compared
with many others. removes the disad-
vantages of snow and bad roads
which so often spOils an auto trip in
mountain country.
