REPORT ON THE NEW ROAD

The committee sent out by the Du-
range Exchange and the Durango
| Motor Club to meet with the Del
Norte committee and make arrange
ments for the celebration on the 2lst
of this month has returned to Duran
go. Those interested made the trip
in the West, Sloan and Bradford
autos. At Pagosa they were joined
by Fred Catchpole, who had with him
number of the road officials.
The committees met on top of the
highway and discussed the details of
the celebration. Then most of them
went down to Del Norte where a
meeting of the committees and the
citizens was held on Monday.
1t was decided that it would he
more convenient to hold the celebra-
ton a short distance from the top
owing to the fact that it is difficult
to find room enough for parking all
the cars at the very top. A more suit
able place would be in one of the
pam just btlOM Tie lDD.
As to the highway the committee
found the road on the south side in
good condition, barring a few places
which can easily be repaired and ex-
cepting the narrowness of the road
in many places, which, of course will
make it inconvenient for cars meet
ing. However, cars will not be per-
mitted to meet each other that day.
Persons will be stationed along the
highway to look after that condition
of travel.
Saturday the road from the top
down toward South Fork was in a
very muddy condition, making it al
most impossible for cars to pull up
thru the mud without assistance.
However, on Tuesday the committee
found those muddy roads in hundred
percent better condition than they
were Saturday. 1t rained Saturday
and but little or no work had been
done in the way Of dragging. Altho
it rained again Sunday, the crews
went to work dragging and repairing
Monday and by Tuesday many miles
of that bad road had been made fair
ly good. Only a few very bad places
remained Tuesday. At the end of the
week, the crews making ordinary
progress, the road will be in good
condition and we believe that they
will be in fair condition even if they
have showers every day 1t is the
drainage and dragging that will make
those the finest mountain roads in
the world. Archuleta county is work
ing with Rio Grande county and the
officials may be depended upon to
have the road in good condition by
the 21st.
We want the people of the San
Juan to have the facts in this mat
ter as far as it is possible to give
them. No two persons get the same
impression in travelling over the road,
and reports will naturally vary ac-
cording to those impressions, but It
is perhaps proper to state that in
many places the road is narrow but
no where steep. No car not in good
condition and no timid driver should
undertake the trip. A good car and
a good driver need have no fear.

Instead the train pulled on to the station at Thirteenth street. The president shook hands with those within reach, waved his hat to the crowd and after a minute halt, the train pulled on. No speech was attempted. A detachment from the naval reserves was on hand with cannon to fire the presidential salute of twenty-one guns. One shot was all that was discharged, for immediately after the train was on it's way and
