 CONDITION FOR SUMMER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 There was meeting Of good roads enthusiasts at Wickenburg last even ing. Chairman William Stephens of the board of supervisors being the delegate from Yavapai, he leaving on the train yesterday afternoon for the Yavapai-M -Maricopa border town to take part in the proceedings. A large attendance from the Salt River valley was expected, including some of the supervisors. The session was follow ed by banquet. given by the Wick enburg Board of Trade. Get that? i Wickenburg Board of Trade That certainly is going some for a town the size of that burg.
 Or course the "eats" were merely incidental to the gathering, the real object of the "get together" being a discussion of ways and means for the improvement of certain sections of road between Prescott and Phoenix, some of them lying within the boun- diaries of this county and some being within the confines of dear old dry ! Maricopa. At a meeting held in Phoe- nix last Friday the same topic came up for prolonged discussion, but no definite conclusion was reached, so the invitation of the metropolis by the Hassayampa was accepted to meet. eat and talk with the live spirits there last night.
 Wickenburg wants Yavapai to put ! in travelable condition that section oi road between the metropolis of the north and south, known as the hill road, from Wickenburg to Morris town, part of which is in Yavapai. And then again Wickenburg and Mar icoHa jointly and severally desires that Yavapai aid in putting certain and sundry sections Of the north and south highway in repair. arguing that as this county receives the benefit of the summer travel from all parts of the south, it is up to it to come for ward without hesitation and dig in its l pocket for that express purpose. i Which after all, the prayers and the songs being over, seems fair enough. If Prescott and the resorts contiguous thereto, are to lure the willy summer tourist to these greatest of all pleas use retreats in the state, they must pro vide highways paved with something else besides good intentions.
 But whatever the result of last nights meeting, the local board will make manifest its contemplated action after MT Stephens returns and the county dads, one and three, hear his report.
 Regarding the meeting, the Phoe- nix Republican of yesterday says: Good roads men will leave on the evening Santa Fe train for Wicken- burg, for the purpose of meeting with the Wickenburg chamber of com merce in a big discussion anent the north and south highway, its present condition and possible repairs. Rep resentativcs of the boards of super visors of Yavapai and Maricopa coun- ties and the chambers of commerce of 
 Prescott and Phoenix will be present.
 After the meeting, a big banquet will be given by the good roads men of the northern town.
 "The repair Of the PeoriaWicken burg stretch of the Phoenix Prescott, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon highway, is going to be a matter of grave import to the vacation motorists of the | southern counties, and especially Maricopa. It is to get the worst parts of that road fixed before summer travel starts, that the meeting is being called tonight
