than October 1.
 That the Clifton-Springerville Forest, Highway will be the very first road building projects undertaken under the Good Roads Bill recently passed by Congress is the good news brought back from Albuquerque by Supervisor W. w. Dutton and County Engineer s. C. Redd, who returned from con ference at Albuquerque with Distinct Forester Paul Reddington on Wednes- day evening.
 The conference was arranged through the efforts of the officers of the Green lee County Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Supervisors and late on : Saturday afternoon last a telegram was received by Chairman w. T. Witt from the Forestry office at Albuquer- que makis the appointment.
 The expenses of Supervisor Dutton and County Engineer Redd were de- frayed by the Greenlee County Cham Der of Commerce and the Board of Supervisors, each member of the Board contributing, personally, and the good results obtained were even more than expected.
 For more than a year past the Board of Supervisors of this county, assist ed by the Greenlee e~-aty Chamber of Commerce, have been active in presenting the claims of this county to the Forestry Department for a highway between Clifton and Sprin- gerville and Clifton and Mogollon and the Era is pleased to announce at this time that these efforts are bearing fruit.
 All members of the Board, and es- pecially Mr. Dutton and County En- gineer Redd, have taken a lively in terest in these projects which means so much to the prosperity of every citizen and taxpayer in the county, and after the funds had been raised it was to be expected that MT. Dutton was the unanimous choice to repre- sent the Board of Supervisors before the Forestry Department.
 Messrs. Redd and Dutton, carrying credentials from the Greenlee Coun- ty Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Supervisors, left Clifton on Sunday morning and at nine o'clock on Monday morning were in session with MT. Reddington, the District Forester of the Southwest, at Albu- querque. The Greenlee County Representatives spent two hours with MT. Reddington and his First Assistant, MT. Powell, and the Green lee County propositions, both as to the Clifton-Springerville highway and the MogOllon Highway, were gone into thoroughly. In this connection Mr. Dutton states. that a few days before his arrival in Albuquerque MT. s. J. Kidder, General Manager of the Mo- gollon Mines Company, and who was recently in Clifton, had been a caller on the District Forester, urging an ap- propriation by the Forestry Depart ment for the Clifton Mogollon road
 Speaking of his trip to Albuquerque on Thursday Supervisor Dutton said: Engineer Redd and myself feel that as a result of the representations made to the District Forester along the line of cooperation by Greenlee County in the construction of the C1ifton-Springerville and Clifton Mo- gollon highways that both of these projects will be included in the recommendations to be made by the District Forester to the Departme of Agriculture.
 We were in conference with the Forestry officials for tv-o hours; went over maps and data bearing on the su63ect and at the conclusion of the meeIing we were gratified tc have tEe District Forester tell us that the cooperative plan presented by the Su- per, lsors of Greenlee county was by far the best proposition he had so far received.
 we found that Mr. Reddington was thoroughly familiar with all of the details bearing upon the subject and \when on behalf of the Board of Su- pervisors I assured him that Greenlee Iounty was willing to build its share
 the highways at an approximate
 Pst of $1SO,OOO, he said that such a
 lendid spirit of cooperation would
