+. D. ROOSEVELT MAY
MAKE ADDRESSES
IN BOTH GLOBE
AND MIAMI

Attorney w. L. Barnum, democratic
national committeeman from the state
of Arizona, addressed an interested
audience upon the issues of the day
at the boxing arena on Sullivan street
last Saturday evening About 100
were in attendance. Attorney Feier
of Miami presided and introduced the
orator of the evening. Mr.. Barnum
made very forceful appeal, speak
ing for about an hour and, by reason
of his sincerity and the logic of his
arguments, greatly impressing all who
heard him.
At the conclusion of his address
National Committeeman Barnum told
a Daily Silver Belt reporter that while
he did not want anything said about
the matter which might cause the
people of Globe and Miami to be
disappointed that there was chance
that he might be abIe TO secure Hon.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic
candidate for vice. president, for two
speeches for this district, one in the
afternoon. for Globe and one in the
evening for Miami. Mr.. Barnum said
that it had been agreed that ex-
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt is to
make three speeches in Miami during
the campaign and that if satisfactory
arrangements can be made for hurry
ing the vice-presidential candidate
into Globe during the evening that he
was in favor of this being done. How
ever, much depends upon the times
and places where Mr.. Roosevelt will
speak at other points and no itinera
ry for the vice presidential candidate
in Arizona has yet been completed.

Nit SIMMS IS WINNER BY APPROXIMATELY 5000
SERVICE IS
OPPOSED TO CHANGE
IN SURVEY

From the following communication
received by the Board of Supervisors
this week, it is made plain that the
original survey, of the Clifton-Spring-
erville road will stand.
Chairman,
Boarl Of Supervisors, Greenlee
Couty,
Clifton, Arizona
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request
several months ago for a reconnais
sance of the proposed change in align
ment and location of the Clifton
Springerville road
A reconnaissance survey and re-
port has been made by the Bureau of
Public Roads which shows that the
proposed change is reasible from an
engineering standpoint. But before
going any further with this matter it
was deemed advisable by the Forest
Service to look into the situation in
considerable detail before reaching
final decision as to the advisability
of the change, and to determine
whether or not this change would af-
feet the objects in mind which lead
to the adoption of the present route.
: Three separate reconnaissance sur
veys have been made by government
engineers the first by Mr.. E. H. Jones
in 1909; the second by Mr.. H. B. Waha
in 1910; and the third by Mr.. o. N.
Powell in 1916. The latter reconnais-
xsance was made in company with the
aeounty engineer of Gfeenlee- County.
The conclusion reached from these
three independent investigations lead
to the adoption of the present location,
viz, that following along the divide
between the Eagle Creek and Blue
River watersheds. The reasons lead
ing up to the acceptance of the pre-
sent route were as follows:
Cd The primary object of the
road was to make accessible the large
body of merchantable timber as well
as fuel wood for the mining districts
and residents in the vicinity of Cliff
ton and Metcalf. If the road is chang
ed so as to pass by Eagle Creek we
would not get into the timber until
Stray Horse Divide is reached, which
is approximately 46 miles from Met
calf; whereas by the present location
the timber is reached within a dis
| tance of approximately 20 miles.
(2) Fire protection is always ar
| important activity in rorest admins
| tration; and keeping the location
along he high country between Eagle
Greek and Blue River it is possible tt
| detect a fire and transport fire fight
Fers more quickly than would be pos
| sible if the route passed through the
low country near Eagle Creek.
(3) The proposed change is OBJ
jectionable since it introduces an un
necessary amount of adverse grade
| that is. we will leave an elevation o.
J about TOO feet and drop to 1900 feet
then climb over steady grade tt
