living to the south, south west and
west. The roads through the White
Mountains are not such as to invite
travel over them. But Springerville
should be better known. 1t and the
surrounding country is one or the
most beautiful in the state of Arizona.
It's people are real folks and have
real resources. Better acquaintance
with the other parts of the state, and
conversely a better knowledge of
Apache county by the people of this
and other similar sections, would tend
toward development and better un-
derstanding generally.

In 1920 of the total number of cars
passing through Springerville 5256
went west and 2097 travelled east.
This year, according to the statistics
kept by Mr.. Becker. the tourist travel
was on the increase. When it IS con-
sidered that the Springerville-
Northern Arizona route is a seasonal
one, it can be imagined what the pos
sibilities are in tourist travel
Springerville is a stopping place for
tourists. Mr.. Becker has prepared a
free camping ground, with free wood
and free water. Nightly there are
many automobile touring parties in
the enclosure The business that
this innovation makes for the hote.s,
the stores and garage must be tre-

who sees it at close range. 1t is close
ly knit and kindly.
The Automobile
Gustave Becker, at an early date,
saw the possibilities of the automobile
and tourist traffic. He sensed the
approaching era of travel by motor.
He prepared for it, knowing that some
of the country's greatest attractions
were to be found in Northern Arizona.
He believed then, and does now, in
good roads. He is consistent II his
highway beliefs, for he is big tax
payer and realizes that roads must
pay dividends. And the roads through
Springerville have paid dividends.
At an early date-1911 or 1912-he
constructed a garage in SpringerVille.
Since its establishment, a record has
been kept of tourist traffic through
the community. All cars, of course, do
not stop at Beckers Garage but the
number of machines that are not reg
istered can be reduced to a minimum.
Some statistics, kept by Mr.. Becker,
should be interesting to Southern
Arizona good roads people. They re-
late to the increase in the trave
through Springerville The table
following first gives the veal
and the second figure is the number
of cars passing through the town. If
Becker has erred it has been along
the lines of minimizing the number.

The progress of Springerville aad
Apache county has been largely his
tory of the life of Gustave Becker IN
Arizona. He has had a leading hand
IN all of it. He has been through good
and bad seasons. He has seen the
transition of the region from the bare
valley to prosperous farming and
cattle and sheep growing section. He
mas accumulated weaf=l until it is
said of him that he is probably one
of the wealthiest men of the south
west.
Gus Becker is of German origin
But this did not prevent his family
from contributing its quota-four to
be exact-to the service of the United
States during the great war. For
Gus Becker is American to the core
He is also Arizonan. in spite of the
rather isolated position of his com.
munity interests from the balance of
the state. He has raised his family
so that it become the envy of the man

noon at the Boyce Aten post Ameri-

praisement of its worth and an esti-

raised.

H 0 " { CIRCUS
IS GREAT SHOW

Howe's Great London Circus and
Van Amburg's Wild Animals arrived
in the city about 8 o'clock this morn
ing and the business of unloading the
big show and transporting it to the
circus grounds was Immediately in or
der. The size of the circus came as a
surprise to the majority of people who
watched the unloading with interest
as many had an idea it was of the
smaller variety.
The parade was long and one of the
most flashy ever staged in the city
and the animals We're without doubt
of the most magnificent specimens. The
more than 200 matched dapple gray
horses and scores of beautiful "ring
stock" created most favorable com
ment. All the heavy cages and dens
fairly screamed with bright and flashy
colors while the uniforms and horse
trappings were of a kind uncommon
to the circus.
This is the first time Col. Howe has
ever brought his circus west of the
Mississippi river and he is most op-
timistic over the reception the big ag-
gregation has had to date.
"The business which have played
to since opening the season in Albu-
querque, n NJ, has been phenome-
nal" said Col. Howe, this morning. at
