COPPER INDUSTRY IN WARREN DISTRICT IS
 FILMED BY EXPERT
A. L. Westgard, Touring U. s. in Interest of Better High ways, Secures Excellent Pictures Here.

To make motion pictures of the whole United States is the job A. l.. Westsard. who has travelled more miles of roads in an automobile than any living man, has now set himself.
 Thousands of reels of film have been exposed on "scenics" the coun- try over. but hitherto no comprehen- sive plan of picturing everything everything worth picturing has been followed Mir Westgard, who knows the beauty spots as no other man knows them, believes that he can show Americans things about their own country of which they scarcely dream.
 The Pathe Company, which will dis tribute the films, believes so. too. and so does the Combitone Picture Com pany. which is financing the expedi- tiOn. The pictures are to be entirely different from any hitherto seen be- cause made by the new Combitone process, invented and perfected by F. w Hochstetter formerly of the Edi- son staff now consulting photo chem ist of the American Photo Chemical Company.
 Interior Department Cooperates
 The automobile motion picture tour which is to extend for more than 9. GOO miles, take more than a year and include every state in the Union. is made under the auspices of the Ma tiOnal Highways Association. of which great organization Mir West gard is Director of TranscOntinental Highways, and with the cooperation of the Interior Department. which has arranged for Mr Westgard to take all the pictures he wants in any and all government reservations. national monuments. national parks and for est reserves.
 Two automobiles carry the party of six, consisting Of Mir Westgard. his wife and son, cook and an assistant to MT. R. C. Price. who will have charge of the actual exposures. The cars are completely equipped with everything needed for the most exact ing tour-a camping outfit, ropes, pull leys, took. searchlights. barometers, gradometer, etc. not only to make it possible to get to inaccessible points but to enable Mir. Westgard to make more of those maps and collections of data about roads. which have been his | life work
 Urges Better Roads ''We must have q better system of | roads in the United States" said Mir Westeard last night. Tt is not a question of whether we can afford to | have them, but whether We can afford not to have them.
 ''To date we have taken thousands 1 of feet of film in Arizona already. | much more than We at first intended, | but there are so many things in this | state that we could not leave out that 1 we are going to greatly exceed our l first estimate. We have shown Arizo- ! na in all its beauty and progress, | shooting every Indian tribe, the ! Grand Canyon, Roosevelt Dam, cattle | scenes, farming scenes and we are now taking film of the copper indus try. We refrained from taking any pictures of the copper industry until | coming to the Warren District, for we | felt that here We would find the best | material"
 Mir. Westgard, Roland Price, ex- pert camera man and Secretary Billy | Delbridge of the Warren District l Commercial Club yesterday visited | the properties of the various mining l companies here and secured some ex- cellent film. Pictures were taken of | the ore being brought up in the skips, | loaded, dumped, conveyed and ship ped. This film will be used in pictur- | ing the handling of ore from the time | it leaves the mines until it is made in to copper matte. The last film taken yesterday was Of a train of ore cars leaving Bisbee for Douglas.
 Douglas Next
 The party will go to Douglas prob ably today to follow the ore through the two big reduction plants at the smelter city, film being taken of every
