ing together in this worthy work,

that is certain.
February will see the opening
of the Circle z Dude Ranch at
Bloxton. This is a more import
ant event than may appear on
the surface. Certainly it is but
a start in taking advantage Of the
wonderful climate and scenic beau
ty Of Santa Cruz County. The
guests that come are potential in
.vestors in the mines and real es-
tate of this county. It means
new money in the county.
In February, Nogales is lining
up with Tucson in making suc-
cess of the Annual Southern Ari-
.zona Rodeo. The program finish
es up in Nogales.
The brightest outlook for 1925
is in mining in this vicinity. The
situation never looked better. Four
new mills will commence opera
.tions early in the year and this
will cause number Of small pro.
perties to again enter production
circles. Important capital ara o.
tering the mining fiel IN this
county as the old year passes and
the results of their efforts TO-
ward developing prospects into
real mines will certainly be benz
officially felt in the county in 1928.
In April, this city IS to be hon
ored by having as guests several
hundred Rotarians Of the 4Srd
District. Other conventions are
scheduled during the year.
In September Will occur what
I'VE have long looked forward to.
the opening up of the through
line from Noeales to the City of
Mexico. This important event
creates new problems in this city's
relations with the West Coast Of
Mexico some of which are looked
forward to with a degree Of un-
certainty but there is no doubt
that great benefits will accrue to
Nogales by reason of the increased
purchasing power of the West
Coast, the immense increase in
passenger and FREIGHT movement
through Nogales with the develop
ment of the tourist trade as
result.
Plans are being worked for the
biggest excursion yet sponsored
by the Nogales Chambers Of
Commerce in honor Of the COM
pletion of the Southern Pacific
lines through to Guadalajara.
Many are looking forward to
this premier event of the year
with pleasurable authorization.
Now what may we reasonably
hope for in 1926? With propsR
energy displayed some of the
items are
Paving; a favorable decision Gs
to a permanent Military Post for
Nogales; Definite and favorable
regulations for interchange across
| the liue Of residents Of Nogales,
Arizona and Sonora; start made
on the construction Of the Altar
Highway; the establishment Of
Broadcasting Station in NogAies,
Sonora; two new factories; a re-
sumption Of home building; the
erection Of modern furnished
apartment houses; the building Of
q sanitarium near Nogales; the
erection of an Elks Club, pro-
gress in arranging Tor Y. M. c.

termination Of the citizens Of No

Frank Sheffield Says Anderson
ville-Arnericus Road Should
Be Made Safe or Closed

The highway between Americas
and Andersonville should be closed
until made safe for traffic, Frank
Sheffield, president of the Bank of
Commerce said to the Rotary club
Wednesday.
Il am not suggesting that this
road be paved, but as citizen am
demanding that it be made safe. l
do not suppose we can place a per-
feet road there, now, but we can
make it comfortable. Today it is
positively dangerous.
Il don't knkow who is at fault,
but l do think we should go to the
proper authorities with a request
that they close this road until it
is made safe.
eve are talking of putting up
signs, inviting tourists into this
county. Right now we had better
tell them not to come, not over this
road, which is positively unsafe in
several places.
when l went to Turpin's garage
this morning to have a minor adj
justment made on my car, l was
told that one of their men had been
out all night, trying to get a car on
the Andersonville road out of the
ditch. The road at places is as slick
as grease and know what sort of
job the mechanics must have had
tryin to get a car out of ditch
there last night said Mr.. Sheffield.
Several others present spoke
along the same line. Walter Ryan
der saying in his opinion both ends
of the Dixie highway-between
Americas and Andersonville, and
between Americas and the Lee
county line-were worse roads
than "some of the detours in Flor
ida"
"a bad road travels among tour
lists like radio in the air." Mr.. Ry-
lander said. "We have this bad
stretch and we should use every eff
fort to remedy it. 1t is because of
just such places as this that five
hundred tourists take another route
to the lone one who comes our way.
President Warren appointed Frank
Carr Glover and Frank
Lanier as a committee to go to the
county commissioners and the divis-
ion office of the highway depart
ment," or to Atlanta to highway
headquarters" and do all in their
power to remedy what several term

tenance of this road is in the hands
of the state highway department

The Times-Recorder phoned
County Engineer Wheatley regard
ing the condition of the road and
Mr.. Wheatley stated that the road
being part of the highway system
removed it from his supervision.
Mr.. Wheatley was asked if the
road was dangerous and replied that
there were two places in the road
which should be properly drained,
top-soiled or grayeled. He stated

However their hopes were
