FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO EXPEND

In Arizona Gazette
Arizona has 1880 miles of the
best state highways in the world, /"
said P. T. Robertson of Yuma, presi-
dent of the Arizona Good Roads as
sociation on Saturday in Flagstaff.
The mileage stands as monument
to the indomitable spirit of progress
of Arizona and the courage with
which the state has overcome each
obstacle.
;'The total mileage includes 1,498
miles of the federal aid, per cent
system" he said, and the roads
form an unbrokene chain running ap-
proximately the length and the
breadth of the state"
interviewing the president of the
association can never become a
sterotyped thing, provided the presi-
dent always remains p. It. Robert
son. He believes in demonstrating
his theories concerning good roads,
and in showing his interviewer the
roads in question. After a ride out
Oak Creek canyon, through miles of
rolling, sloping hills covered with
giant pines, it was an easy matter
to see that he is a non-sectional
president Of the organization, and
that Coconino and Mohave county are
as close to his heart as his own be-
loved Yuma.
Mr.. Robertson had negotiated the
Oak Creek canyon Hill on his trip 20
Flagstaff for the convention, and
knew each foot of the way around
the treacherous curves. The only
difference on the trip Saturday lay
in the fact that it was a daylight one
and that on the way up the hill as
he came to the convention he made
it at night with one headlight on the
blink.
No wonder the traveller raves over
Oak Creek canyon 1t is bitterly hard
on the nerves of a squeamish woman,
as it bursts so unexpectedly into view
on the trail, ana as the car poises
directly over a 800 foot sheer drop
into one of the most amazing can
yons ever conceived by the Creator,
one wonders if the descent will be
made around the curves or if one will
be transported more swiftly in a roll

tor had planned to keep one feature
of the world as His own, it must
have been the Grand Canyon. No
words have ever been dreamed Of in
the language Of the human race which
can describe the emotions felt when
the canyon comes into view; no man
or woman or child can ever carry
away the impression that they have
seen the gorge, for with the shifting
Of light and shadow, with the darting
prisms Of light, with the impenetrable
shadows, it is changing, ever chang
ing, and has been so since the be-
ginning of its creation. So will it
change until the great scheme of the
Creator is divulged and the, world
made over.
Arizona is a wheel of surprises and
Flagstaff is the hub. From the little
city, with it's wealth Of traditions,
with It's unstinted hospitality, and its
spirit OF progress, radiate more per
feet roads to more perfect spots of
interest than in any other section of
the country, and when the bridge 20
Lees Ferry is an actuality, the coun-
try to the north of Arizona will open
up her gates and let the traveller
through, to view, with others, the see
mic wonders of the country's greatest
state.

There may be a repetition Of this act
before he is finally seized in the
sharp mandibles of his enemy and

Regardless of the question why is

Mules of all colors indigenous TO

the field and the town girl was
watching them.
"Do your mules kick much?" she

"No those mules are not the kicky

Unquestionably Young America is

is a certain teacher at the Virgil

be overdone.
Only the other day, when one Of
the boys was getting a bit too gay,
this teacher cried out in exaspera-
ton, Il just wish / could be your
mother for one short weekl"
"Very well, I'll speak to father
about it, was the boys prompt and
