AUTO TOURISTS BEING ROUTED
OFF OF SANTA FE TRAIL; CITY
LOSING THOUSANDS Of DOLLARS
Rivalry Between Routes West of Albuquerque
Blamed for Slump in Tourist Travel Here;
Entire State Suffering; Chamber of Com
mrcee Urged to Get Into Action.

Albuquerque is losing hundreds
of dollars daily through auto tour
lists being routed off the Santa Fe
trail.
Due to the rivalry between the
north and south routes west Of Al
buquerque, the city is losing a
great part of the tourist travel, and
because of poor routes over which
many tourists are being sent in
order to avoid Albuquerque, the
entire state is losing hundreds of
tourists who would otherwise spend
several days in New Mexico, Leo Il.
Leaden, road scout between Needles
and Trinidad stated yesterday.
Hundreds OF automobile parties
going west are routed through the
southern state route at points as
far east as Dodge City, Kansas, Mr..
Leaden stated. With road dangers
thrown in their faces if they take
one route or the other, many tour
lists decide not to risk the roads,
and route themselves around New
Mexico, missing the state entirely.
The southern route west through
New Mexico does not bring the
tourist into either Santa Fe or AL
buoueraue and as a result these
two cities are losing thousands OF
dollars this season, due, according
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1922-08-18

to Mr.. Leaden. to the rivalry be-
tween New Mexico cities which has
resulted in arrangements being
made as far east as Dodge City to
send tourists over a road which
will insure them taking a certain
route west of this city.
Tourists Are Suspicious.
"The constant rivalry and dis
cord over the roads in the state
cause the transcontinental tourist
to become suspicious and pass up
the entire state" Mr.. Leaden de-
'clares, and although he has taken
the matter up with the chamber of
commerce, which is advised of a
situation that is resulting in ]
slump in tourist trade for the city,
no action has been taken to coun-
teract the results of the rivalry.
Recent reports indicate that the
tourist travel in Colorado amounts
to as much financially to the state
as the combined development of
four of its other leading resources.
"A great many of these tourists
would rather go through New Mex
leo than through Colorado" Mr..
Loaden stated, but they become
suspicious and decide to make the
trip through Colorado"
Mr.. Leaden stated that close
check of the tourists has been
and 1t has been positively shown
that Albuquerque is getting only
about one-half of the tourist travel
which would naturally come to it,
and that the entire state is suffer-
ing through tourists being routed
over poor roads which make them
anything but boosters of the Sun
shine state.
The suggestion has been made.
it is understood, that the chamber
of commerce here take an active
part in frightening out the diff
Guilty. possibly through booking q
peace conference between the
north and south route cities and
re-esta blishing friendly co-opera-
tion which would result in all
routes getting a square deal, or if
necessary meeting the issue square,
ly and seeing that westbound tour
lists are at least provided with un-
prejudiced road data as far east as
Kansas City or Chicago and st.
Louis, IL necessary, so that they
may have a fair opportunity to
select their route.
1t is probable that action of
some sort will be taken on the
serious question at the next meet
