A newspaper at Galup. and another one up in San Juan county

Albuquerque serious damage, if it III left to rum its csrse.
There is. as a matter OF course, nothing but the kindlicst feeling
in Albuquerque towards Gallup. There is a desire here for co
operation and friendly relations. This city has looked forward for
a long time 10 closer business relations with the san Juan valley.
and has hoped for rail connection TO that end, without much regard
to how it comes or who does the big job. 1t should be very easy
to prove Albuquerque friendship for western and northwestern

arising out Of the motortourist traffic.
There is a disposition 70 place blame for alleged discrimination
against Gallup in the routing Of tourists. with the New Mexico Auto

any evidence of even a disposition. to discrimination.
The Chamber of Commerce should take a hand m this cOntro

find out if there has been any discrimination. If such has occurred
