has been signed by Joe Tinker to play
second base for the Cubs. Knabe
once starred With the Philadelphia

Tinker declared that Me had
watched Knabe's playing this year

entitled to chance to show his
wares. "Knabe Ii still there as ma
jor Lacquer and expect him.t prove
that pretty conrlusively," said Tinker.

There isn't any question as to the
legality of the board of supervisors
expending a portion of the highway
fund for the construction Of that part
Of the highway which runs through
the reservation, What the supervi-
sors are now endeavoring to do is to
save the county the expense of such
construction since they have been
assured by some Parker people that
cur beneficient Uncle Samuel will
come forward and build the road. If
Parker has to wait for a special act
OF congress for an appropriation to
construct the highway out Of this
town We will bet doughnuts against
nickle's worth of lard that the pres
ent generation will never see the
read constructed.

THE ONLY LOGICAL ROUTE.

After a full investigation OF the
various routes for the county nigh
way leading from Parker this paper
is convinced that there is but one
route that is practicable, and that is
the river route. While this route Is
some fifteen miles further from Bous
than the route along the Santa Fe
railroad, it is not only less expensive
to construct and maintain, but its
adoption by the board of supervisors
would result in serving all of the
mining interests located east of Par
ker The adoption of any other route
means the elimination OF the mines
for the reason that there is no avail
able fund by which the county could
draw on to construct a road along
the river except the road fund, and
the amount that could be secured
from the road fund would not be suf-
ficient to build half mile of a
serviceable highway.
The only difference between the
river and railroad routes is that the
former will develop our mineral re-
sources and the latter will shorten
the distance for auto tourist travel.
1t is inconceivable to us that anyone
having the best interests of Parker
in mind should favor the railroad
route
The only other route being consider
ed Is the one leading to Black noun
tain, and this route would not serve
all Of the mining interests as would
the river route. The river route
would make the distance from Os-
borne's Well to Parker practically
the same os 1t is over the Balck
mountain route, while the adoption
of the latter route would Iengthen
the distance from the Empire, Billy
Mack and other mines about fou1
miles. Besides the Black mountain
route would cost more to construct
and maintain than the river route
The Post feels confident that
when the matter Is fully understood
by the business men and merchants
Of Parker that they will be unani
nous in favor of the river route.
We don't know single mining maj
who favors either the railroad or
Black mountain route, and as Parker
is practically dependent upon the
mines and their greater development
We fail to see the advantage of any
