PROPOSED MILITARY R0AD
 THROUGHOUT YOF PHOENIX . TO PACIFIC NORTHWEST

by a railroad; in other states, as in Washington and Idaho, supplying longhoped-for means of uninterrupted communicatiOn between two gcand sub divisions separated by mountain bar riers. To southwestern Ida aho and northeastern Oregon the construction of an al-year auto road is an enter prise promising more beneficent re- suits, perhaps, than the coming of a railroad from south to north.

In Idaho and eastern Oregon the lakes and woods of Wal Iowa county, Lake Payette the canyon of the Snake river, rivaling in grandeur the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, Sho- shone Falls, Niagara of the vest, the City of Rocks. ice caves and lost rivers.
 Over this route, too the tourist from the north may travel through the fall and take his choice from among the varied offerings of the many winter resorts extending across the continent ] from Los Angeles to Palm Beach and select his own time to return without being compelled to load his car upon a steamship.
