Springerville, Ariz., where he operates
a garage and general mercantile bust
ness, G. Becker has the following to
say about the number of patries that
have passed through his town on their
way to the Pacific coast:
'In 1911 we noted less than twenty
five parties during the entire season."
wrote Mr.. Becker. Not more than
in 1918 Last year the number rose
rapidly, the seasons total being around
$50. Thus far this season we have
registered 712 parties. while at this
time in 1914 the total was $50"
Another interesting fact communi-
Gated by Mr.. Becker is that the cars
passing through Springerville average
four passengers. He further says that
| little complaint is heard about the
| roads.
/ What bad going they strike is ac-
copied philosophically.' he writes.
Most of them are good travellers and
realize that a trip of so many miles
cannot be made over superfine high
ways"
