SANTA FE TRAIL TO
BE GRAvELED THIS YEAR
Prowers County People Are Just
Beginning to Find Out That
Good Roads Paw.

There are 6,75O,OOO miles of road
in the United States-about 3,00O,-
600 are improved. At the present
rate of progress it will take l67
years to get the balance in shape.
1t may take longer If we have
many winters like the past one.
Prowers county plans to gravel
all of the Santa Fe Trail within the
next two years, also working out on
connecting roads as far as the heav-
ier travel justifies. The south road
from Lamar to the Holly south, are
to be graded and bridged at once
With three large trucks, each
with a steel drag, tractor and
double road grader as the main
part OF the county equipment to
help out the teams, we should be

able to keep all of our roads in
shape this coming summer.
PrOwers county has about $780,
600 to expend this year for all pur-
poses. OF this $4,000 goes to the
road fund, divided among equip
ment, repairs. new roads and new
bridges, rebuilding and maintain
ing old roads.
There are five river bridges in our
eOunty-all expensive to maintain
and to replace. 1t cost about 5000
to refiOOr the Granada bridge this
spring The Holly bridge needs re-
pairs badly. 1t doesn't take long for
the alkali to rot off the piling. New
concrete bases for the piling are to
be run at once before flood carries
out the bridge The new mixer is in
Holly now, ready to go to work as
soon as the weather permits.
The past wet weather has demon
strated that only concrete or
brick paved road is available for
use all of the time. 1t would cost
approximately 100000 to pave the
trail. The trail is the main artery of
our county. 1t connects Holly and
Lamar, the two largest towns in the
lower Arkansas Valley. 1t carries
thousands of dollars of tourist
travel into our state every year
With short spurs it, can be reached
by each of the other towns in our
county and is within reach of the
larger part of our farmers going
either way. Some day we are going
to realize that good roads pay, are
worth paying for, and we are 60
ing to invest in them. Fifty per
cent of our present available per-
ishable farm products never reach
the market. 1t wouldn't take long
to pay for good roads if we could
save this waste. The money can
not be raised by direct taxes taxes
are too high now-but by bond is
sue. Talk bonds and when you get
chance vote for them.
Prowers county only gets $4,000 Of
state road money this year-to be
divided among six state roads-not
enough, but we are used to doing
without. 1t would seem that Colo
RADIO would wake up finally to the
fact that the most magnificent and
expensive mountain highways in
the world are useless without their
feed roads. The mountain roads
are used about five months in the
year and the Santa Fe Trail all
twelve-that is, when it don't rain
or snow. just little of the money
spent ON scenic western roads
would benefit them and the real
taxpayers of the state could travel
on business or pleasure when they
pleased.

ate and house of representatives

members of both branches of the
legislature, advocates of the land

matter extensively on last Monday
night, comparing the four measures

YER man. President LOry of the
State Agricultural College, for
mer Governor Ammons, Fred D.
Stanley of Alamosa, State Engineer

pated in the discussion.
Advocates of the Booth bill
pointed out the fact that it was
prepared by committee named by
former Governor Gunter during his
administration and that it con-
tains all of the good features of the
other bills and none OF he prOvi-
si0ns which tend to confuse or de

1t provides, they showed, for the de-
velopment of idle lands by> the

operation with the Reclamation
service, under the plan outlined by
Secretary of the Interior Lane.
The Booth measure provides for
the creation of an ex-officio board
composed of the governor, attorney
general. president of the state
board of agriculture, president of
the Agricultural college, state en-
gineer of the state land board and
the commissioner of immigration, to
be known as the Land Settlement
Board and to have authority to buy
or acquire in other ways unOccu-
pied lands, developing the same by
the construction of Irrigation sys-
TENS, buildings, fences, ETC., SO
that the land may be sold to re-
turning soldiers, sailors and other
settlers on easy terms.
The bill carries an appropriation
of $750,000, which is to constitute
revolving fund and which will be
returned to the treasury with in
terest when payments on the de-
veloped lands are complete. The
fund is to be raised by levy of
onefourth of a mill in the years
1919 and 1920. 1t is to be available
for use until the expiration of 20
years, after which time all payments
must be paid into the general fund
of the state until the entire amount
has been repaid.
Neither house has acted on the
various measures yet but it is be-
lieved that the public hearing will
hasten action and that definite re.
suits will be achieved by the leg
islature within few days. The con-
stantly increasing number of re-
turning soldiers and sailors makes
the matter of growing import
ance and it is hoped to have the
plan in operation this year.
