Getting a Bad Rep

Within the last thirty days about so cars have been shiped from Williams to Flagstaff and an equal number have been shipped from Flagstaff to Ash Fork. The shipments have been made for the reason that the road between Williams and Flagstaff is impossible. The continued bad condition of this road is giving a bad reputation to both Flagstaff and Williams. Tourists have been obliged to part with more than S1,OO0 of their money to get over this stretch of road. They are carry ing to all parts of the country a story which should shame us.
 While it may be true that the 34 miles between Williams and Flagstaff is subject to drifting more than most roads, yet this will not answer as a sufficient excuse for the continued bad condition of the road. It is quite possible to put this road into passable condition. Until action is taken to aviod such a long period of disuse, we shall have to rest under the ignominy of indifference to the needs of the travelling public and our own convenience and financial in- tereStS.

German spies have made Russian war movements inef- fective; they have undertaken to stir up revolution in India i; they have intrigued in all South American countries and they will need very close watching in America. The country is full of them.
