YUMA BOWS UP ON WEEKEND" ROAD

It will be mighty cold day in Yuma when Yuma county votes for the $2,500,000 issue for paved highway from Phoenix, through Yuma to the California line. In order that there may be no mistake about the feelings of the people of Yuma, the Chamber of Commerce passed res olutions against it and in letter sent out over the state says:
 County is bitterly opposed to the issuing of S2,- 500,000 of state bonds for the purpose of paving the road from Buckeye to the Colorado river at Ehrenberg. We will vote 100 per cent against this proposition and believe that practically all of the voters in the state will do the same if they understand the matter.
 Yuma County, out of her own bond money matched with federal, is building a good hard surfaced highway from Yuma to the Maricopa county line near Sentinel. This road will be com pleted the coming winter Maricopa county has agreed to meet us at the county line crossing the Gila river at the Gillespie dam. Pima county will also join this road coming across from Ajo to Aztec on the Southern Pacific railroad. This road is financed and is now under construction.
 The proposed road would not sarve any part of Yuma county. It runs as laid 0ut through mountainous and hard mesa country that could never be developed. No Yuma people would ever travel over it. There is no bridge at Ehrenberg and it would be very costly to construct one. The road by the way of Yuma would run all of the way through a country that is being developed. The great Gila valley has wonderful possibilities. All of the irrigated section at Yuma will be tra- versed.
 "The California State Highway Commission has promised to complete the paving of the Cal ifornia state highway from Fl Centro to Yuma this coming winter. Ten miles of pavement on this road has already been laid. The surveys have all been made and they are ready to go."

A WARNING WORTH NEEDING

Tt seems to me that an era of unprecedented prosperity may be looked for, if we will make worth, first vice-president of the Wells-Fargo Nevada National Bank of San Francisco
 "One of the greatest dangers, as 1 can see it, lies in the apathy of our American citizens to- ward public affairs and legislation. Politicians and their henchmen, in and out of public office, are constantly active in evolving schemes for separating the taxpayer from his money and the rate of increase in the public debt of Oregon and California should prove warning to all loyal citizens who would attract industry and wealth to our states rather than to mark them as centers of freak legislation. The sound sense of the great American public cannot be question: ed, but our progress must depend to large de- gree upon the awakening of public confidence and the giving of expression and force to the will of the majority"
