 first dozen men of the district who drove automobiles and how they start ed the good roads movement Tn the county that resulted in the thousands of dollars being spent here to buiid highways in the face of every dlii1- culty.
 A. J. Elrod, the principle speaker oi the evening, followed him. The Wasn- ington disciple of good roads toih how the people of the extreme north west country had put the skids under Sam Langster, the pioneer road build CT of that section, because he built a road that cost s1700 mile. (Co- chise paid s17,OOO mile for some parts of the road over the Divide.) Later Langster built the famous Columbia river highway, the pride of the north west now, and one of the great roads of the world.
 Describes Trip
 This trip of ours is not joy ride, declared Mr Elrod. Tt is a hard trip. Some days we drive from in the morning until the next morning to keep up with our schedule. Utah and Idaho are wild for good roads. They received us with splendid enthusiasm all the way down through these states. Every mile of our route from British Columbia down to the border.
 we are not trying so much, to dc VII r0 COn- meet good roads in one unbroken chain Every one is in favor of good roads nowadays.
 "Bisbee can do anything she sets out to do. You have already demonstrated that Qaughter). And with your l5O million valuation you will one day have as good roads as any county in the country.
 "Our proposed route extends from British Columbia down through Wash ington, Idaho and Utah to Phoenix; thence to Globe; thence to Tucson, Tombstone, Bisbee, Douglas and Fl Paso. We'll go on east and back up north to New York by selected route.
 Gardner Speaks
 We propose to organize the Ever green Highway National association by states.
 "The rail lines that pass through these western states were surveyed when the country was undeveloped. They never dreamed that such cities as Bisbee would be built out here. They wanted the easiest grades and the most direct routes. Our highway seeks the most beautiful and pictures que routes and the population centers.
 You Arizona folks ought to get ac- quainted with Utah, your northern neighbor You are strangers now. Our highway will bind you together"
 A. H. Gard>er of Tombstone ex- pressed regret that the visitors had been unable to stop there where a dinner had been prepared for them. But to show how much in earnest the Tombstone folks are in their desire for good roads he pointed to the delega- tion that had swallowed their disap- pointment and come down here e meet these Evergreen highway folks.
 California Gets Tourists
 Dick Ryan, county engineer, made a stirring and forceful talk. He took occasion to pay his respects to the Warren District Commercial club. "li this commercial organization decides to back you in your project" he said to the visitors, you can count on its support clear through to the finish. '
 Captain Howe spoke at length on the publicity features and benefits sure to accrue from such a highway 000,O0 annually in this western coun- try, S20O.0O0.000 of which went to Cali | fornia. Washington, wanted her share. It had the attractions. good roads would bring the visitors and tne advertisers. And nowhere in the world were there wonders that excelled the petrified forest and grand canyon oi Arizona.
