Gray's Peak, 21 miles from Clifton
 The altitude of Clifton itself is less than that of Fl Paso-yet these high CT attitudes are reached on no grade sleeper than seven and a half per cent and most all of it is six per cent.
 The road opens up an absolutely virgin territory, never touched by the woodsman's axe and full of game of the sort that men cross a continent to hunt.
 For Ell Paso AutomobiIists
 Its completion will make possible a circle automible tour from Fl Paso. through Silver City, Mule Creek and Clifton north to Springerville and back by way of Magdalena and E.lc- pbont Butte dam or vice versa, and it will also enable the transcontin- ental motorist to visit this virgin forest il he prefers it to the southern route through Douglas and Bisbee or over the northern route across the states of New Mexico and Ari- zona.
 It will also enable the Fl
 Pasoan to go out this way to the
 Grand Canyon and California across the Painted Desert and the
 Petrified Forest on a perfect hiqh-
 way.
 Greenlee county of which Clifton is the county seat, has already built good road-another piece of ex- pensive work over the hills towards Solomonville, to connect with the southern end of the Gila valley west of here, and Graham county is now building out from Solomonville to meet it. The road is already pass able and daily stages make the trip and clip many miles from the dis tance over the road south by way of Duncan to Solomonville The Greenlee end of the road is IS miles. all completed. By this road it is but 46 miles to Stafford, county seat Of Graham county and metropolis of the Gila valley
 Costly but Saves Mileage
 Just as the Mule Creek road has cut the distance to Silver City to 7o miles from 105, the new road to the west cuts the distance to Stafford all most half
 It is expensive building these roads, but hauling is also expensive and the Greenlee county people say it is cheaper to build expensive short roads than it is to haul over 1ess expensive longer roads.

TO WORK FOR

Lawn Party Monday Night
Gives Promise of
Success
Money to be Raised to Place Teacher
On New Grounds-Hope to Get
Several Tennis Courts

Large numbers of the younger peo-
pie of the city will go to the Union
Station grounds Monday night to
present their claim for tennis courts
and to offer their services toward
getting them. The ground around the
Station near the big Alexandria"
sign has been kindly offered as a
playground site by H. A. Gentry of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad Company, provid-
ing a teacher be placed there to sup
ervise the children's play.
For the purpose of raising money
for the salary of such a teacher a
lawn party is to he held on these
grounds next Monday night at 6
O'Clock. The Citizens Band will fur
msh music and electric lights will
be installed for the occasion by f. A.
Feldtkeller of the Alexandria Light
and Power Company. There are to be
many other features.
1t has become generally understood
that tennis courts will be installed
and the devotees of that sport have
taken an active interest in this por-
ton of the work, for the installation
of these would mean that they would
not have to go to Washington or to
Braddock for a game then. They have
come together and will be there Mon
day night to see what may be done.

Executives. They were members at
one time. and not so very long ago,
but President Harrison doubted the
nropriety of such mass action under
the new TRANSFORMATION act, and is now
pursuing an Independent course.
It is for this reason that the South
ern does not at this time find itself
involved in entangling alliances, and
If is presumably for this reason that
President Harding has not found it
necessary to bring any Of the South
ems representative to the White
House carpet in his efforts to restore
peace to the transportation world.
The Southern is ready for peace at
any time. while it looks very much as
if a number of the executives will
have to back into a peaceful position
IF the President finds it possible to
do anything for them.
