kind in the world, wants three or
four men in Boone county and sew
eral men in adjoining counties, to
work for him spare time or all the
time. He can use only those who have
a rig or auto. Work is very pleasant
and no previous selling experience is
necessary. Work consists Of leaving

convenient for you to work in; what

married or single; how long you have
lived in the community; what kind of
a rig or auto you have; when you can
start, and about how many homes are
within six miles Of you in each direc-

Improving Benson-St David Road

This good weather offers a fine
opportunity for repairing roads,
and Mr. S. B. Moss, of this place,
by arrangement with the county
authorities has a force of men TAX
ing advantage of it to make i'm
provements on that section of the
Benson Borderland lying between
Benson, and the St. David bridge
across the San Padro.
The road has already been put in
good shape as far as the Heber
Martin place, about four miles out,
and the work will be continued ON
to the bridge over the new line sur
veyed and approved by the super
v;sors some time ago. The new
line, instead of cutting across the
school section recently purchased
by the Boquillas Company as form
erly, follows the section line due
south and makes right angle turn
east, at Farrelrs Sunnyside Ranch
in going toward the bridge. With
this improvement made. which will
probably be completed today, there
will be smooth travelling all the
way from Benson on to Bisbee and
points beyond.

TUCSON Man FAvORS
ROUTE THROUGH
BENSON
Sees Advantages of "Short-
Line Over Sagebrush
and Cactus Route

DR.. A. w. Parker, candidate for
Supervisor in Pima county, has
the following to say regarding the
Improvement of the Benson Cut
off of the Borderland Route, as
quoted in the Tucson Citizen:
"There is no more important
road in the county than the Ben
son highway said DR.. w. A.
Baker, candidate for county super
visor, who made trip over the
road yesterday
The maiu highway east ward is
run by way Of Benson. When
Cochise county votes her bonds,
the main road will lead from Ben
Son to Tombstone, Bisbee, Doug
las and on to Rodeo, N. M They
have the votes in these cities to
build the road over that route,
which is the main travelled road.
The road by Davidson canyon will
always be an important highway
and used by travellers to Patag ouia,
Fort Huachuca and the Huachuca
mountains, but the Benson road
is much shorter, being hf'y-one
miles in length and twentyAone
miles are already built. Sixteen
miles of the road is in c chise
county and is in good shape now.
This leaves only fourteen miles
to be built by Pima county,
"The road from Vail to the coun-
ty line is now in very bad. shape,
but can be built at very little cost,
with natural drainage and natural
road material.
"There is no more important
commercial or tourist highW ay in
the state. 1t will bring ten dol
lars to Tucson for every dollar
spent on the road"
