tude of this section is between 8
and a thousand feet. The grass
is very good and the surround
ing country supports large herds
of stock. The road is very fine
passing upward through the Blue
Canon, an ascent of 1000 feet.
We next made a drop of 1000
feet from the high plateau on
which the old capital of the
of the southwest is located. 1t
is advisable to get in low" and
go down the plateaus on COM
preston, as the slightest acct
dent here would cause destruc-
ton, There is much fertile land
along the Rio Grande, which sup
ports a large Mexican popula-
ton and produces large crops of
alfalfa, Mexican beans, corn and
other small grain.
Just after leaving the small
town, Pecos, on the right were
the ruins of old Pecos church
built about 1910. These ruins
are among the oldest in America.
The country surrounding Santa
Fe, with its cliffdwellers and
other ancient ruins offers an IN
limited study of archalogy.
We next travelled through a
wide mesa country hemmed in
by mountains. We now begin
to leave most of the snowelad
mountains. For some time we
travelled through the Arkansas
river valley. In this locality sug-
ar beets are the big cash crops
and to provide for the CONVEX
sion into sugar. Large factories
are located at various points. If
you remember, it was Trinidad
where the clash between miners
and federal troops occurred in
1914. The next distance of III
miles is to be made without food
unless carried with you. Our
next trail was called the day
route, and it was on this run we
bought water, as it was necessa-
ry to carry several gallons. At
ter leaving Great Bend we trav-
elled a level prairie road at the
crossing leaving Great Bend, In
dian graves surround the site
where fold Fort Zaroh used to
stand.
We talked to many farmers.
They say that there was very
little grain planted last year.
What was did no good. We were
told it had been raining there for
a year not missing three days in
succession. At last we reached
the outskirts OF Chillicothe, so
we boys tired the cars, ran
into town at the rate of 20 miles
per hours, not having seen the
speed limits. So there is where
we tipped a sore headed Mayor.

Curry made trip from Phoenix,
Ariz., to Tallulla, ILL.,, in a Ford
automobile. We were accompa-
MED by l. L. Sibley, of Albion,
Mich, and Eddie Cook, of Mag
"a Falls, N. Y, who had been
spending the winter in California
They were also making the trip
in a Ford. They spent the night
with us in Tallulla. We met
many people going to various
places in the West. We passed
several large cars. Seemed as
there was something liking or
too much one about the large
cars. Eddie and l were the boys
so we did a boys part. We were
caught in a hail storm in western
Kansas. The hail stripped most
of the leaves from the trees,
killed many sheep and damaged
wheat considerably. We were
water bound one-half day. We
run through water more than
two feet deep for more than a
quarter of a mile. We boys wad-
ed in front in order to give the
driver an idea where the road
was. We gathered many SOU
venirs and took many snapshots.
We left Phoenix for Tallulla
May 10 and arrived June 3, be-
ing on the road 16 days, but we
were not travelling every day.
We etc 'at hotels, but slept in
our car. The distance travelled
was 2,156 miles. We used 119
gallons of gasoline and z gallons
of oil. The gas cost from 16 to
As cents per gallon. Oil averag-
ed something like % cents per
gallon. The best we did in one
day was 286 miles. Some of the
road was very rough with many
hills and many short and dan
gerous curves. The tall timber
ed mountains are called Bill Will
liams mountain. from the famous
scout, who is buried near the
summit and who gave his name
to the town.
After leaving the mountains
the country gradually changed
from semi desert and grassy
mesatype to wooden uplands,
pine covered mountains and val
legs. The San Francisco peaks
reach an altitude of 1890 feet,
at the base of which nestled the
town of Flagstaff. The roads
were in good condition. Along
the road a picturesque, extinct
volcano is seen to the North.
The crater seems to glow as if
it were still alive. The !peculial
effect is the result of large de-
posits of sulphur about its ruins,
! We enjoyed the beauties Of
petrified forests. here huge
trees lie in a beautiful petrified
state. Centuries ago the hot
volcanic springs which bore dis.
solved silica. When the water
receded, the silica crystalized in
to a flint like substance. We
next entered Datel National For.

Workers Should Pocket The
Corruption Money

Based on the standards Of right
and wrong that have prevailed at past
Berkeley county elections, party work
ers3 would be justified in pocketing the
money that is given them to use for
vote buying. On the face of it, this
may seem ike advocating the misap-
preparation Of funds.
But remember the money that is
given to the workers is given with the
understanding that the worker is to use
it to corrupt voters, to make q criminal
OF himself through the purchase of
votes, to tear down eur government by
attempting to oVerrule the will of the
people by The use of money Would he
not be justified in taking the money so
that would not 60 to other workers to
use illegally? And would not the evil
effects be less ifhe pocketed the money
after taking it than to use it in buying
votes? If he cares 20 return it to the
candidate after the election, well and
good, but he had better take the money

After few candidates got stmg
in this way they would not be so ready
to provide means of corruption.
But regardless Of whether the
workers take the money or leave it, one
thing is certain and that is that they
had better not use it for vote buying on
November Z for, on that day, every eff
fort will be made to get evidence on all
violators and to secure their conviction

least suspected, both among the buy
