SOUTHWEST GOOD
 ROADS ASSOCIATION
 IS UP OH ITS TOES

Following the meeting of the Vice Presidents of the Southwest Good Roads Association, held in Clifton or the 18th inst, at which time ways and means were devised for adver- Using signs to be erected at eastern points, directing the western bound tourist to the best and shortest route through central New Mexico and Ari- zona to the Pacific Coast, over the dam to dam route, meetings were held in Hillsboro and Hot Springs, N. M, on the 18th and 17th inst, to discuss means whereby Sierra coun- ty may arrange for federal aid on that section of the Black Range Road
 The proposed Southwest All-Year National Park, to include the Indian reservation to the east of Hot Springs and the Eelephant Butte Dam and lake near this town, is looked upon Sierra county, and in Grant county, as a most promising development in the populariZing of the Dam to Dam Highway west to the Roosevelt Dam. If the park is established, and it is considered to be virtual cer- tainty, the government will build d highway from the eastern parts of the park to conect with the Elephant Butte Lake. The road would cross the White Sands, and the lava beds lying between Hot Springs and Tula rosa
 It has iong been considered neces sary to open route direct west from Tularosa to the dam, but because oi the nature of the county, and its isolation it was conceded that il would be many years before the state could, or would, enter upon such .
 project. Even though the project of establishing park is matter for the future, the proposal has with out doubt increased the interest o people in many counties of New Mex i .ico and Arizona in the Dam to Dan i Highway.
