AUTO TRAVEL HAS BEEN
HEAVY DURING WINTER

To show the volume Of automobile
tourist traffic rolling into Arizona
this winter The Sun will state that
during the month of January the state
horticultural department Inspected
7l09 automobiles, bearing license
plates of other states, entering Ari-
zona.
The southern route carried the
heaviest burden Of motor traffic, as
much of it originates east of Kansas
City and the various routing agencies
of the east obtained a wrong impress
sion of weather conditions prevailing
along the National Old Trails high
way and shot their people over the
southern route to avoid supposed
snow and ice blockatles, this condition
will soon change in favor Of the great
northern route, which carries the
heavy travel during the summer
months.
That this immense stream Ct motor
tourist traffic is spreading out over
the state is apparent to ali connected
with the Automobile club of Arizona,
where many tourists seek travel in
formation, Manager Treadwell states
that the steadily increasing volume
of tourist travel spreading out over
Arizona will prove the great value Of
Arizona's excellent highway system

The reason for this lies in the fact
that such shales are made up largely
of decayed vegetable life. in which
