back to Salt Lake City.
Wish to advise that all along the
way the towns-folk are very enthus-
iastic regarding the benefits to south
ern Utah such an automobile road
will be, and better still, are doing their
utmost to improve the condition Of
the road so that tourists may enjoy
safe, quick, and pleasant travel thru
delightful scenery.
Tourists may be assured Of hearty
welcome and genial company at all
points where they may choose to stay
over day or two; and also every as
sistance in case Of need
The roads from Salt Lake to Marys-
vale are well known, but it may be a
matter Of surprise TO learn that autos
can run at all times to Panguitch, and
when snow is off, even as far as Glen
dale, Utah. From Glendale rather
sandy stretch is encountered, but Kane
county people are busy improving the
condition Of this section of road. They
have already prepared two bridges to
make the crossing of Long Valley
creek, and had some fifteen teams out
there making a road higher up the
mountain side, so that better grade
might be secured. The citizens Of
Kanab are united in the work Of Sc
curing the goodwill Of such tourists as
may arrive early in the season. They
are determined to be placed on record
as desiring lasting and pleasant
memory Of visit to Utah's most
southern point.

Mr.. Harris, supervisor of the Kali
bah Forest reserve, has had his men
busy all fall and winter and he as
sures me that autos can now speed
along a stretch of fifty miles Of the
forest at a clip of thirty miles, but
suggests that instead tourists go at
four-mile pace, and would be better
pleased if tourists would camp out and
so be able to secure view Of the
Glorious wonders Of Nature in the
Kaibab Forest.
Mr.. d. Wooley har arranged to
care for tourists by pack mules and
also wire bridge, possibly others will
also be located at this point to care

Pipe Springs, Arizona has couple
of real friends in Mr.. and Mrs. John
son, and tourists are always welcome,
good meals and beds, and fine time at

Hurricane won a prize for clean
city, and the whole town should be
awarded first prize for their activity in
preparing this road for the tourist,
At the time of my visit fifty teams
were at work east Of Hurricane hill
while at the foot of this hill the con-
victs were busy making new grade,
and doing splendid work. Governor
Spry and the prison authorities and
Mr.. Beers are TO be congratulated
upon the continuing Of this splendid
work south. Mr.. Charles Petty is the
able secretary of G. c. Road. st.
George townfolk are also busy getting
ready to welcome visitors to the Utah
tropics. II is almost uncanny TO drop
into this neat town and see the trees
in bloom in February, and get peaches
in April.
Kanarraville, is neat small town
and are calling a city meeting soon
TO clear the streets.
Cedar City can be relied upon for
sound work, and activity when you
want conditions improved. The great
est surprise to residents Of Utah will
be to know that in Cedar Canyon
"Dame Nature" seems to have lavished
her charms, and TO have shyly hidden
them only to reveal their wonderous
beauty to those who are willing to stay
oysr day to search and linger a
while. This applies to quite a num-
Der OF utah's Canyons, but the pity
is some seem TO want TO hurry along
