 FROM BORDER SOUTH

MORALES. Dec. i-Plans for the construction of highway 1000 miles long. the longest ever built in Mexico were announced here today by Gen. Angel Flores. commander of all Mexi. can troops on the west coast of Mex. ico.
 The new road. General Flores said, will be built betkeen Nogales. Sonora. across the international boundary from here to Topic, capital of the state of Nayarit The road. the gen eral said. will cost between seven and ten million dollars and will follow the main line of the Southern Pacific de Mexico along the west coast Of Mex ico.
 The project. he said. is part of plan to relieve unemployment in that country He estimated that building of the road would give employment to 10000 men now out of work there.
 General Flores said that the new road would touch Hermosillo, Mazat- Ian. Guaymas, Sinaloa and other cities in the states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Nayarit The new road. he said, will provide good highway to many fish ing ports along the coast, and also pass through farming and mining dis tricts which now are hard to reach be- cause of the lack of roads. Steam shovels and other equipment already have been ordered for use in building the road.
 i General Flores were here on his way from Mexicali 10 Culliacan. He had been in Mexicali investigating re- cent revolutionary movements in that vicinity. Besides his army command. the general has supervision over all the government projects on the west coast of Mexico.

ROY CASDNER'S
TRIAL STARTED

iHOENIX. Dec. selection of the jury and taking of testimony intended 10 establish the fact that a United States mail car was robbed at Mari copa. Ariz.. io miles south Of hera. where Roy Gardner. escaped convict ed mail robber is being tried on an indictment charging him with the Maricora robbery.
 Most Of the testimony this after noon consisted of tine reading of af- iidaviis from Salt Lake City To show that certain registered articles sup posed to have been stolen at Marico- DO were mailed there.
 The only witness who mentioned Gardner was L. R Templin, q local locksmith. who said he had made key 10 fit a Pullman car door lock at the request of Gardner on october 21 On cross-examination Templin said Gardner was the man for whom he made the key but he could not tell lupon what characteristic of Gardner he based his identification. A. E. Kelly, of Tucson. special agent for the Southern Pacific com pany. testified that the lock identified by Templn as the one for which he mad made a key, had been taken off of the mail car that was robbed at Maricopa.
 The defense in questioning prospec- tive jurors today indicated that 1t would base its case largely or plea of insanity. while the prosecution in- dicated that it's case would be built up principally on circumstantial evil dence.

 On the Benson road the plans are being perfected by County Engineer Sid Smyth to put the mile through St. David in good shape, the surfacing of that stretch now being in very bad shape and is the only piece of real bad road between Tucson and Rodeo on the Bankhead However, as it is a small amount of work, comparative ly speaking, County Engineer Smyth will have 1t done in a short while af- ter he starts on 1t.
 Work in Benson. on the state high way. in charge of Contractor Ecker- man. is coming right along.
 The streets, other than the highway through Benson. are badly in need of repairs and repairs are now under consideration.
