HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT IN
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
New Mexico State Record.)

New Mexico State Record.)
CONSTRUCTION is progressing very
well on the two Federal aid road
projects in Chaves county," said Les
lie A. Billet, state highway engineer,
after spending the past week in the
eastern part Of the state looking after
road matters.
Mr.. Gillett found that the work
on project No. 8 across the Mescalero
sands on the Roswell -Tatum-Loving-
ton road in the eastern part Of Chaves
County, is well along. The heaviest
sub grade work was finished. 1t is
necessary to excavate the sand first.
A heavy plating of "Caliche" is
placed and this is surfaced with
crushed rock. The rock crushing
plant is set up ready for work. This
project is being constructed on force
account under the supervision of ]. A.
Klassner, for many years with the
Santa Fe Railway.
Project No. 12 from Roswell to
Commanche Springs is also moving
forward quite expeditiously, accord
ing to Mr.. Gillett. Two bridges have
been finished and the excavation for
the third is under way. The grading
is coming along very well. The con-
struction camp has just been moved
to tie Roswell end Of The road. These
projects are important sections IF the
etate highway which stars at tne
Texas line east of Tatum and runs
through Roswell, Alamogordo, Las
Cruces, Deming, Lordsburg to the
Arizona state line.
Mr.. Gillett also spent some time in
the second district and with engineer
W. D. Jones went over next years
Federal road aid program in Roose-
welt, Curry, DeBaca counties. 1t is
planned to get state highway No. 10
from the Texas line at Texico to the
Rio Grande in good shape. It will
be necessary to do much work on the
east end to about ten miles west of
Ft Sumner where this highway
strikes firm foundation. 1t is the
purpose to apply the Jones method Of
letting the wind clear out the sand
during the winter and spring. This
has been found effective and econom-
ical in dealing with sand problems in
highway construction. New Federal
aid projects will be located in this
section.
With the work in progress, the pro-
jects decided upon, and the proposed
projects, Mr.. Gi,lett expects to have
this highway in good condition across
the central part of the state. This
highway connects at Belen with the
Canine Real and gives western out
let by way of Los Lunas and Gallup.
Mr.. Gillett is well pleased with the
progress in building the main high
ways through the state.

PARKER GOES TO CHICAGO IN
INTEREST OF CAR SHORTAGE

R. j. Parker, general manager of
the Santa Fe Western Lines, left
Amarillo Monday night for Chicago
to confer with the federal manager
of the Santa Fe system and the
regional director of the Central
Western region, of which the P. &
S. F. railroad is a part, regarding the
present shortage of both box and
stock cars in this territory. For some
time past the office here has been in
wire correspondence with Chicago,
Galveston and Washington regarding
conditions in the Panhandle and
South Plains country, in an effort to
secure an adequate supply Of equip
ment, particularly for loading wheat,
and while the conference which has
been called is a general one and
many other sections Of the country
are as BADLY off for freight equipment
as the Panhandle and South Plains,
Mr.. Parker hopes to be able, because
of the distressed conditions which ex-
ist, to convince the authorities that
this section is entitled to, and should
receive preferred attention.
z At the announcement Of the wheat
season, the southern district of the
western lines of the Santa Fe, which
district includes southwestern Kansas
northwestern Oklahoma, the P. g. S.
F. in Texas and the A. T. q S. F. in
eastern New Mexico, had a surplus
supply of upwards of 1900 box cars
which had been repaired and made
fit for grain loading. This supply was
considerably in ,.,cess to any that
had ever before been accumulated in
anticipation Of the wheat movement,
but the enormous crop soon exhaust
ed it, since which time the lines in
/ the territory in question have been
forced to depend for a supply upon
the release Of cars received under
load and the return Of equipment
from the primary markets and ports.
Release of cars has been slow, par
ticularly at the ports, because Of the
difficulty of securing vessels in suf-
ficient numbers to transport the
grain overseas. Galveston, however,
is now taking one hundred cars Of
wheat daily, with additional bottoms
lin ight which will afford further re-
lief, and with the assurance Of both
the shipping and grain boards that
every possible effort will be put forth
to rcmove the congestion, and per-
nit the free flow of grain to Calves
ton, together with the fact that Gen
eral Manager Parker is making
plea for special consideration Of thi'
section, it is believed some relief will
be afforded in the very near future

ACCIDENT PREVENTION DRIVE

By the afternoon of October 18th
approximately $4,000 railroad men
in the Central Western Region will
have resolved to go fourteen days
without sustaining a personal injury
to themselves or being the cause of
anothers injuries.
The Fortnight beginning at 1901
a. M, October 18th, has been desig-
mated by the Director General Of
Railroads as the National Railroad
Accident Prevention Drive" and ac-
cording to a statement issued today
by Mr. H. A. Adams, Regional Sup
ervisor Of Safety for the Central
Western Region, the lines under his
jurisdiction are endeavoring, through
their officers and employees, to elm
mate accidents to a greater degree
than was shown in the June No-Ac-
cident Drive, when "a reduction Of
over rs percent was effected.
Every individual employe has been
reached by some member of the SAT-
ETY. Department, or representative
from the Safety Committee which
has some employe from its particular
class of service as its representative
in Safety Matters.
Just imagine: Over 1000 Safety
committees, made up of approximate
ly $4,000 committeeman, an average
of II men on every committee, meet
ing in regular session one day out Of
each month to discuss and correct
hazardous conditions and unsafe
practices reported by the employees
themselves. This gives you an idea
of the great activity of the Safety
organizations on the railroads under
Federal control.
How do the employees themselves
take it? Here is what one said: "An
employe, to be just to himself, his
family, the public, and his fellow man
in the advocacy of Safety Work on
our railroads, should not hesitate to
make the same contention for the
elimination of dangerous physical
condition or dangerous practice
that is obviously menace to life
and limb, and to property, and which
can be corrected, as he would make
for an evident shortage in pay
check"
It is believed that the National
Railroad Accident Prevention Drive,
to be carried on over the entire
United States, will cause great riv-
airy among the roads and the men to
90 the entire period without cas-
ualty. Everyone will be on his met
tie to prevent actual suffering or
grief as a result of railroad acci-
dents, and reaching the goal will
make this campaign we'll worth while,
thereby establishing a precedent that
can and should be maintained.
Officers and employees of railroads
and through them the general public
will know each day what is being ac-
complshed during this specialized
period of accident prevention by
daily telegraphic reports.

BURLESoN TALKS BACK

Burleson divided his critics into
two classes, those who were honest
and those who were actuated by ul-
terror motives. The former, he ad-
mitted frankly, included the bulk Of
the people, because they have not
understood the difficulties under
which the postal service has worked.
The latter were said to be those af-
fected by the economies made for the
benefit Of the people-the express
companies, which suffered in the de-
velopment Of the parcel post; the
railroads, which objected to space
payment for carrying the mails; the
owners Of pneumatic tube systems,
which were abolished, and the news
papers and magazines, which fought
al increase in the second class pos
tai rates.
In his first public account of his
stewardship after nearly seven years
in office, Mr.. Burleson said the aver
age tenure of postmaster generals
had been only two years.
"When the entire world was re-
adjusting itself to war;" he said,
"when our splendid railroad system
broke down completely, is it any
wonder that there was some slight
disarrangement of the postal service?
Yet there were people who com.
planned they didn't receive their mail
with regularity and dependability.
| don't blame them for complaining.
1t is human, but il was unjust"
"As the only government depart
ment with nation wide organization,
the postal service was called upon by
all other departments to aid them in
war work." Mr.. Burleson continued,
"and this in spite of the fact that tens
Of thousands Of trained postal en-
ployes had been called to the colors
or been put in cantonments to give
service to the mail.
For the treasury, Mr.. Burleson said
his department distributed tens Of
thousands of tons Of Liberty loan
propaganda, sold S2 per cent Of all
savings stamps, sold and distributed
new tax stamps, which included the
auditing of fifty thousand accounts.
The postal service also distributed
millions of questionnaires and acted
as recruiting service for the war
department, aided in making the food
conservation measures effective ind
played a leading part in administering
the espionage act and registering
alien enemies.
Exclusion of seditious matter
from the mails was very unwelcome
task" Mr.. Burlcson said 81 was
denounced for repressing free speech,
an autocrat and Prussian, but ]
moved on in the even tenor of my
way, performing my duty with mod
GRAFTON, exercising no arbitrary pow
er whatever, but enforcing the law
as written. 1t is great satisfaction
that in every case where my action
was contested the courts have up
held me-"
Declaring he was not going to be
harsh, the postmaster general turned
to individual policies for which he
had been attacked. In reducing par
eel post rates and increasing the
weight limit Of parcels, he said, he
turned deficit into a surplus, but
encountered opposition from the ex.
press companies, which came within
one vote in the senate of repeating
the law.
