CALIFORNIA MUST
HELP BUILD ROADS
CALIFORNIA MAN SAYS NINETY
PER CENT OF THE TOURISTS
GO SOUTH

L. A. Mares, chairman of the Cali
fornia state branch of the federal
highway council, has sounded a note
of warning in connection with the
"See Tahoe First movement, accord
ing to a special dispatch from Sacra-
mento to the Reno Gazette, declaring
that the prestige of all northern Cali
fornia as i tourist region will suffer
if reliance is place upon exploitation
alone. Mares holds to the view that
the thing needed above all others is
a connecting road across the State
of Nevada. Unless some definite love
is made in that direction soon, Mares
fears that the Lincoln Highway will
be lost to northern California.
In an interview at Sacramento,
Mares stated that during a recent dis
cussion with the president of the
Goodyear Tire Company, which is es-
t%ablishing a factory in Los Angeles,
he was informed that a movement
was well advanced to divert the Lin
coin Highway to the southern gate
way to California, despite the fact, as
pointed out by Mares, that the natural
route was much inferior, the eleva-
ton reaching a maximum of 5000 feet
as against 6750 by way of Reno and
Lake Tahoe.
Ninety per cent of the westbound
automobile traffic is today diverted
from Salt Lake City south to Los An
geles," Mares declared. "If this con-
dition of affairs is to be changed it
must be by the construction of a
standard highway across Nevada to
the California line in the vicinity of
Like Tahoe. The road over the des-
ert to Los Angeles is composed of a
granite sand, which makes a superior
natural road to the one which must
now be used to reach the Tahoe re-
gion from the East, and this adds to
the tendency of travel to go that
way"
Mares points out that the state Of
Nevada, with a population of only one
person to the square mile, cannot un-
dertake the building of this road, ane
declares that northern California
must put her shoulder to the vince
and help in every possible way. HI
believes that with the proposed
amendments to the Townsend bill, a
present before congress, which pro
vides for mor liberal aid to tn,
sparsely settled Western states, an
with the united financial assistanc,
of the automobile and good road!
clubs of northern California, it SHOULD
be possible to secure the construction
of the Nevada link.
Asked to what extent he though
northern California interests SHOULD
or could aid financially in the con
struction of the road, Mares estimated
that approximately a half-million dol
lars would be the least sum WORT
talking about. He added that i
should be easily possible to raise thii
sum among the good-roads booster.

That Water System Again

( For the Reporter:
While not wishing particularly to
criticize the somewhat pessimistic
view taken by orr anonymous friend
in last weeks issue regarding the pro-
posed new plan OF water supply, one
cannot help realizing that there are
some matters to be taken into consid-
Grafton. viz, the safeguarding of our
health and property. which are not
readily reduced to financial basis
Health experts tell US that more dis
eases may be traced to impure drink
ing water than any other cause. We
cannot all have access to adueducts
or wells, and even these sources are
not always free from contamination
and are absolutely yalueless for fire
protection Consequently many of our
citizens, particularly in the more
thickly settled districts, although pay
ing the present established rates for
city water, are compelled to purchase
from dealers, an additional supply for
domestic purpoSes,--a primitive, in
convenient and expensive method;
particularly in the school-room. where
the allowance Is often necessarily re-
stricted, causing real hardship to the
little ones.
In regard to the necessary increase
in the rates, cannot fair estimate
be made? We understand that an es-
innate has been made as to the cost
of the new system.
BY obtaining the gross receipts I'M
der the present plan of operation can
not it be determined. at least approx
imately, to what extent these rates
must be increased under the new
plan? We respectfully request fur
Their information in regard TO this
phase Of the matter.
Our town may, some day be num-
bered among the most important of
Names cities much has been done
in the past in the building of streets.
sewers, fine public buildings, etc. of
which we may well be proud. Let us
unite. then, in our generation. to do
our share, to install a water system
which will be adequate to supply the
needs of the future city of Skowhe

Mast EuTONS TALKS
CONDUCTED BY
fIas WIZ FELTON,
Mexico an ungolved Problem


In addition to all the difficulties
that are bothering the United States
OF America, we can see very plainly
that Mexico is one of the things that
Is bound to give trouble.
In the first place, they have no
settled government down there,
Whether it is Carranza or Villa; it
is only revolution. To my mind they
are Very much alike. They are trou
ble-makerS.
Also it now transpires that Car
rama has been dealing and decker
Ing with Germany within the 1asl
few years. He is the sort of person
that you cannot trust his word. If
Germany had come out ION top" we
should have had to do some serious
lighting down there.
We understand Villa to be a
bandit chief, always ready to play
his part with a sorry lot of bandits
behind him to gack up his schemes
and plots. Nevertheless he is a
bandit that is not in league with
to play fast and loose, as the op
portunitY Offers
We ali understand that this coun
try and Mexico is only separated by
the Rio Grande river, sometimes q
little river, then again a big one.
There is, therefore. no difficulty
in going over and unfortunately Villa
doesn't mind raiding across for sup
plies and cattle. horses included.
Carranza makes secret treaties.
but keeps a fair face to the United
states, while he is making secret
treaties with such as Germany and
JaDan.
How soon the clash will come |
am not prepared to say. Maybe no
body can fix a date al this writing.
bHt YOU can safely say it will come
Ia'c"S as soon as the crisis reaches
this country
