 ROADS OF THREE COUNTIES William P. Crump and his oldest son Thomas, have just returned from ten days trip in their trusty Ford" through eastern Maricopa, Pinal and Gila coun- ties. On this trip their itinerary in cluded Superior, Ray, Kelvin, Hayden Winkeman, Mammonth and Christmas They report the roads in good condi ton from Superior east. but say the road from Mesa to Superior is dis grace to the wealth of Maricopa coun- ty. In both Pinal and Gila counties they found men industriously making and repairing roads, But no such evi- dences were apparent in Maricopa county. To one conversant with the topography of that mountainous sec tion of the state, the fact that they ate breakfast one morning in Mammoth dinner in Christmas and supper the same day in Ray speaks well for the good condition of the roads. Incident ally they distributed from Ray Junc- tion 36,000pound car of produce.
