Especial to the Copper Camp
PHOENIX, June 12.-Picking the
toughest, meanest and toughest por-
tiOn of the Borderland route leading
southeast from Tucson to the Mexi-
can border, the state highway depart
ment forces started work last year at
the summit 21 miles south of Vail.
Inch by inch, yard by yard, mile by
mile, they forced their way northward,
converting a twisted mountain road
into a broad, sweeping thoroughfare
with a maximum grade of per cent,
and then-the funds gave out.
When the Pima county highway
commission saw the high character of
the work, and realized the Importance
of the route, it was decided then and
there to devote $182,OO0 from the
county bond issue to complete the job
from the Santa Cruz county line into
Vail. To do this, the entire engineer
ing and working forces of the state
highway department which were at
work at that point were taken over by
the county, incidentally affording as
splendid an example of highway CO.
operation between state and county
as could be found anywhere in Ari
zona
This construction is now in prog
ress under the general direction of l..
E. Barker, county highway engineer
for Pima county A. w. Jenkins,
whose engineering experience in Ari-
zona covers q period of 80 years, is
managing the job. He is being aided
! by G. B. Little, assistant. engineer, and
J. B. Chadwick, foreman of force of
men which is regarded as one of the
livest punches of road builders in Ar
zona. To keep track of the cost, Pima
county has placed an auditor in the
camp, c. H. Weaver being named for
this responsible position.
county and the state highway depart
ment, the latter has undertaken to do
the work at cost plus $40, the $40 be-
ing added to meet certain legal re-
quirements and to secure the use of
$4,000 worth of state equipment
This equipment is a portion of the
$1,500,000 worth of caterp.llars, trucks
and other highway machinery and sup
plies turned over to Arizona by the
federal bureau of public roads in the
allotment of surplus war materials.
The equipment included also several
tons of T. n. T. and blasting caps.
The explosives were delayed how
ever. Had they been received when
first promised by the government, the
saving would have been $4,000. Eight
and a half miles of the toughest con
struction are now finished, and the
forces are still working toward Vail
The Arizona copper camp., 1920-06-12

From Vail to Tucson the road is in
frst-class condition, except for some
short curves whose alteration will not
be very expensive
The new road will be used extens-
lively by mining interests operating
out of Vail. Further south it passes
through a country which is undergo
ing a remarkable transition from graz
ing to dry farming. This section is
destined to- become one of the most
prosperous agricultural districts in
the state.
The Borderland route will be espe-
/, cially valuable when the work is car
ried through to the Santa Cruz line.
1t is understood that Pima county is
willing to do this when Santa Cruz
county makes provision for complet-
ing the line into Fairbanks. The road
from Fairbanks to Tombstone was
completed last year by the state high
way department, and from Tombstone
south to the border is well improved.
There is no question that eventually
the Borderland route will be the most
important military road in the state,
connecting as it will the ports of en-
try of Douglas and Nogales, and pro-

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
MT. A. W. Krouse, Conn: Western News, Canaan, Conn,

MT. A. W. Krouse,
 Conn: Western News,
 Canaan, Conn. s- . Dear Sir:
 Connecticut's Pilgrim Memorial Fund campaign, now completed, ex- cept fora few churches, some of which have large quotas, has reached point where we can characterize it as an overwhelming success. Every district in the state except one nas exceeded the quota expected of it., and the total so far goes tremendous ly ahead of the $66O,OOO which was set as the goal when the work was started in September. N
 This has not been done without good organization and hard work on the part of the members of the team. But all of them agree with us that what they have done would not have been possible except for the excellent preparation and assistance given them by the newspapers of every dis trict of the state. No campaign of this character ever carried out in Connecticut has had, so far as we know, such cordial and effective sup port from the newspapers. A good judge of publicity, not connected with this campaign, has said that ''the editors of the Connecticut newspa- pers have backed the work of the Pilgrim Fund up one hundred per cent."N We think that they have done even more, for the results have been more than one hundred per cent. These facts simply stated are per haps the best expression of our thanks for what you have done for us.
 We wish it to be understood, ho H.. ever, that we do not take this as a personal matter. You have recog- nized the merit of the undertaking in which we have been engaged and have backed it up as a matter of pub lie service, and we wish to add th.s testimonial and our thanks as fur- ther evidence of the fact that the newspapers of Connecticut never fail to give their support and service to every worthy cause.
 Yours very truly, William S, Beard, Dean.

DEATH RATE DROPS
 WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands of Armenian children already have been saved by the Near East Relief taking over the Armenian orphanages, according to de- tailed reports, which have just reached the headquarters of that organization. These institutions had been run by the Armenians since the beginning of the war to care for the children whose parents had been murdered by the Turks. Because of lack of food, clothing and medicine, the death rate among the children in these lnstitu- tions averaged us high as twenty or thirty day in some cases.
 When Armenian funds became in- adequate the Near East Relief took charge of the orphanage. Since that time the death rate has been greatly reduced. Given good food and care the children are quickly returning to normal physical and mental condition.
 It is estimated by persons who have made a survey of Armenia that 120, 1000 children will die during the next year unless they are given food and care. Near East Relief Is the only organi- zation now operating in Western Asia and 1t is making an appeal to save these Christian children.

WORDS FROM HOME
Statements That May Be Investigat- ed. Testimony of Canaan
 Citizens

When a Canaan citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your cont- dence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. Inves- tigation proves it true. Below is a statement of Canaan resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had. James O. Snyder, Bragg St., says: "My kidneys had been out of order for some time and often had diffi- culty in passing the kidney secre- tions. My back pained a great deal, too. When l stopped over, could hardly straighten up. After using a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procur- ed from Farnum & Co.'s Drug Store, had no more kidney trouble"
 A SECOND STATEMENT
 Eight yesrs later, MT. Snyder said: "I am again glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. I am now en- tirely cured of kidney trouble"
 l Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Snyder had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfrs, Buffalo, N. Y.--adv.
