COCHISE TOWNS HAVE
 ORGANIZED TO GET
 GOOD ROADS SYSTEM
Commercial Bodies In Northern Part Of County Form AssoCia-
 ton To Carry Out Highway Work And Attract Auto Traffic

Representatives from the commer. cial organizations of Benson, Cochise, Wilcox, Bowie, San simon, Solomon vile and safford, met at the Southern Pacific Hotel at Bowie, Ariz, last week and organized the Northern Co ohise County Good Roads Association. As its name implies, the organization will work for better roads for this sec tion of the county. The great develop ment of the agricultural resources of this section in the past two or three years call for established and well worked public roads. The great de- velopment of through auto travel also calls for this work to be done in a con sistent manner, so as to develop through lines of travel.
 The first work of this organization will be to establish and work a road commencing at the Borderland Auto Route at Lordsburg, N. M., thence fol lowing the Southern Pacific Lines to Tucson, there to again unite with the Borderland Route. also to establish and work a road from the former road at Bowie, to connect at Solomonville with the auto route now being built from Lordsburg, N. M., through Cliff ton and Solomonville and Stafford thence along the Arizona Eastern Rail way to Globe, the Roosevelt Dam and Phoenix in the case of this last it will only be necessary to build a short road from Bowie, to Solomon vile.
 in no way will the expenditure of a like sum do so much to call the atten- ton Of the world to the resources of this part of tine State, as to make it possible for people to come and see; the completion of this route will in- duce thousands of people from the east to pass through this section and see for themselves that Arizona is the richest state in the union, and having seel they will tell their friends in the east These roads will make it possible for auto travel to go by one AbAAc anu return D4 tue OAllHIf lAut seeing in one trip the wonderful mining development of southern Co., ohise county, and the agricultural de- velopment under irrigation in the northern part of the county and in the Gila Valley And in the case of the road from solomonville to Bowie will promote travel and trade betweeh Graham County and Northern Cochise County.
