state and that it should be built large- ly with forest funds.
 F. K. Ausphault, chief engineer of the United Verde Mining company, and chairman of the Clarkdale chap ter American Engineers association, stressed the importance of Flagstaff standing positively, steadily and clam orously for the governments aid. These two counties get about half of the annual forest road fund. If we use our influence we can get more and the road can be finished in IS months.
 Fred Caring, chairman of the board of supervisors, assured the bunch that he and Supervisor Campbell, both of whom live in this end of the county and constitute a majority of the board, are heart and soul for the Oak Creek road and will see that the board does all it can for the road.
 Bob Taylor, John McWilliams and John Loy, candidates for election this fall to the board of supervisors, each in turn stood up and went on record as favoring the building of the Oak Creek road. Mir. Loy, who lives on the other north and south road, frank ly said he'd do all he could to put the Oak Creek road through.
 Joe Mccarthy, Yavapai county high way engineer, live wire and go-getter of Uncle Sam's money, told how he and Captain Wright, then Coconino county engineer, and the engineer of Gila county, all got together and pooled their efforts for government aid on the Flagstaff-to-Globe road, via Oak Creek. They got the govern ment mems endorsement of their plans and then Governor Campbell and State Engineer Maddock secured the diversion of Coconino county's share from the Oak Creek road to the highway east of Flagstaff.
 Harry Heap, of Prescott, president of the Yavapai county Chamber of Commerce, said Prescott is not con- tent with what they have in Yavapai, but want the added attractions of Co., conino county to pull people away from the southern to the northern part of the state.
