WHY OVERLOOK
ORC BLANCO
A Criticism by a Well Known
Citizen on the Work of the
Highway Commission
To the Editor of
"The Daily Mornin


''The Daily Morning Oasis .
Dear Sir:-I have read in
Sundays issue of your paper
the extended report of the High
way Commission, with the de.
tailed estimates of cost of con-
struction necessary to com
plete the projected road system
OF the county, and l have found
it very interesting reading. In
teresting from it's omission as
much as for what it included.
The commission has provided
an extensive program of con-
struction that will give a grea;
part of the county a fine road
system, even going SO far as to
give highway across from
Patagonia to Tubac, a through
route for which there is little
need, except such as might in
cidentally follow giving the Sa.
lero region outlets to both. the
Santa Cruz. and the Sonoita
But there have been overlooked
the Montosa country,
northeast from Tubac, which is
a very promising region with
considerable activity, and the
Orc Blanco country, where al
ready one big enterprise is in
successful operation, and
projected. / refer to
the Montana Mines project at
Ruby, now working a large
force of men and running a big
concentration mill, and the
Austerlize property which has
been taken over recently by Il
large operator, with abundant
capital, who has projected ex-
tensive development and opera
ton.
The Orc Blanco country is
one of great Importance, and
its development will prove an
important factor in advance
ment of the welfare and pro-
gress of the county of Santa
Cruz. It's future depends to 6
great extent upon cheap trans
portation, for. which good roads
are an absolute necessity. II
is region of great low grade
ore bodies. If concentrates car
be hauled to a rail connection
cheaply and effectively mining
enterprises will thrive over
there. Unless there can b.
given cheap haulage to mine
products enterprise will Ian
guish. For that very reason
the county should do every
thing to provide a cheap anc
easy outlet for the Orc Blance
district. To do so means fos.
tering a number of very i'm.
portant enterprises, with de.
velopment of extensive trade
all of which will come to No.
gales direct. = =
When the first bond issue
was made, as a preliminary
estimate of expense County
Surveyor Glore, made an esti-
mate of the cost of such pro.
posed system. In his estimates
there were put $4,000 for q
road to Orc Blanco from the
Santa Cruz valley. With the &C.
tive assistance of the Montana
Mines Company, and severa
thousand dollars of their money
the old Orc Blanco road has
been reconstructed as far as
Montana Camp, at a cost to the
county of but $4,000 $1,000
less than the apportionment in
Engineer Glore's estimate). II
is the only road where work has
been done under that first bond
issue that has not absorbed al
the estimated cost rut up by
Mr.. Glore, and a great deal
more. And beyond Ruby there
are roads that need reconstruc,
ton, to do which would facili-
tate traffic toward the central
part of the county, and to No
gales.

The following excerpts from a let

127th Company, 166th Depot Brigade,
Mr. and Mrs. w. H: Cooke Of Dickin-
friends Of the family:
eve are in camp and are starting
through our first steps. l stayed in
Livingston for few days before COM
ing here. There the ladies' club made
me a comfy case which contains al
most everything in the line Of toilet
articles together with a repair kit.
"On the road we were fed by the
Northern Pacific with box lunches.
We had lots of fun. Whenever the
train slowed down at a town we got
off and shook hands with the pretty
girls. In Spokane the train stopped
for an hour, and we took our flag and
pennant and formed a column four
abreast and marched through the
streets. The Red Cross gave us a
lunch and by that time we were ready
to board the train again. We arrived
in camp at $3.50 a. m. and had to roll
out and march up and report for roll
call, go through a temporary inspec-
ton, get out our blankets and go to
bed. .5b55
There is sure some crowd here,
and there are more coming every day.
We are not very far from Tacoma.
Some Of the bunch went to the city
today, but I stayed at home because
the M. p. ladies were giving BAN
quet to those who wished to attend
and we were all invited.

with Our Boys
At Camp Greene

Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. c., Oct.
the government intends to
train the boys Of the two North Da-
kota regiments, the 164th U. S. in
fantry which was formerly the "First"
and the Hashed-up Second, so that
they may be used in almost any
branch Of the service, seems certain
after a study of the drilling during
the past week. Therefore .semaphore
with arms or flags has been
but specifically. Now the boys are
in signalling practice.
Drilling and long hikes have not
been essayed yet. Drill grounds are
at a premium and the only drilling
given is to platoons. Plans are now
finished to grade off and level a great
drill ground near the First North Da-
kota company streets, but at present
the only drilling is confined to pla-
toons, a fourth of company.
Censorship rules have not as yet
been applied to the camp but a camp
censor soon will be established and all
outgoing mail will be scrutinized.
The rules means that the folks back
home will not be able to learn mucn
of the work their boys are doing. For
instance, the new bayonet drill is be-
ing taught to squads now. It differs
greatly from the old regulation bayo-
net drill, but any information on how
it differs is prohibited. The censor
ship in this respect will be respected
by the boys, many of whom have
likened it to slipping the signals of a
football team to opponents. They
don't want the Boches to learn their
tricks. Meanwhile they are plunging
into the game Of learning to be mod
ern day soldiers.
'Talk of your national guard stuff, -
exclaimed Grand Forks Company M
sergeant who had been on the border
last year. "Why say, we're in the
army now, and believe me these boys
are going to see training that will
make the border stuff look like a
rookie on dress parade"
Another new stunt which the boys
are being put through is compulsory
athletics. Right now they are being
taught hurdling in preparation for
further training in the line of getting
over barbed wire entanglements. The
Y. M. C. A. is aiding the boys to
get into excellent physical condition.
for they plan field meet next
Wednesday afternoon when the most
proficient men will have an opportun-
ity to show the results of two weeks
training.
Camp Greene, at least the section
set apart for the First North Da-
kota, was, when the troops arrived
but little more than fairly level
stretch on the North Carolina hill
sides. There were no streets graded
although they were laid out. Now
after ten days the boys have trans
formed the place into tent city o1
we'll graded streets, bridged drains
and ample cutters to carry off rair
water. Many of the boys have antici.
pated the action of the government
and have foored and boarded up the
walls of their tents.
