Warns Arizona
of Possible Loss in
Rotary Club Talk

PHOENIX - For a midsummer
day in the Salt River valley, there
was good attendance at the reg
ular weekly Rotarian luncheon.
The program consisted mainly of
talk by State Highway Engineer
w. G. Lefebvre on the highway sit
uatiOn in the state. Mr.. LeFebvre
was introduced by Chairman of the
Day William Pendleton with some
general remarks on the highways
and scenic wonders of Arizona.
The talk of Mr.. LeFebvre was in
the nature of a statement of the
work that had been done on the
highway system of the state, in
which it was shown that Arizona,
in the matter of cooperation with
the federal road bureau, had ex-
ceeded the average of the states.
But now for lack of funds, it was
faced with the necessity of letting
$350,000 of federal aid funds re-
vert and he stated that in the alb
sence of highway legislation by the
next legislature Arizona would lose
a million dollars of federal aid
funds.
Mr.. LeFebvre described the in
crease in the number of automO-
bile owners in the state; the great
er consumption of gasoline not only
because of the greater number of
cars but also because of the great
er use of the roads. He gave fig
ures of censuses taken by main
tenance Of way men showing the
increased traffic.
Previous to taking up the fixed
program, Russell Freeman was in
vited to a disquisition on the sub
ject of grapes. He believed that
all of the grapes raised in the val
ley could be consumed by the peo-
pie of the valley if they were put
into the proper shape; that is, into
a liquid shape. He introduced the
with reference to the grape. Among
the conclusions reached by him was
that there was no Biblical interdic-
tion against wine in general but
only against wine when it is red
That would not of course apply to
fizzwater, sauterne and many other
varieties.
Representative Hayden respond
ed to an invitation for an address.
Mr.. Hayden found himself handi-
capped. He could not, he said, talk
politics in Rotarian gathering
and that excluded the Colorado
question. He was not disposed to
disturb deep seated convictions on
any subject and that removed the
High Line project from the realm
of discussion. Thus limited, Mr..
Hayden confined his remarks to a
mythical winged steed.

motorists on that heavily travelled
route.
The Automobile Club of Arizona
advises that work will soon start
on re-signing all highways in Ari-
IONA, the State Highway Depart
ment having received bids from
several concerns on 5000 standard
signs. Under an agreement be-
tween the highway department and
the automobile club, all automobile
club signs will be salvaged by the
highway department. which will
use the posts and standards for the
new signs.
The Automobile Club will repaint
all signs that can be used and erect
them on roads other than Federal
and State highways.
This program means that Ari-
zona will have her roads as well
signed as any state in the Union.
and this will greatly facilitate the
movement of motor traffic over the
highways of Arizona.

Railroad is Begun

PRESCOTT - Work began on
Tuesday morning on taking up the
rails and other equipment of the
famous Crown King branch line
between Middleton and Crown King,
permission for the discontinuance

The length Of the track to be TAX
en- up is 13 miles and the construc-
ton of the road under the engin-
eering of ]. A. Jaeger, due to the
roughness of the country, was con-
sidered a remarkable feat in rail
road building. To accomplish the
ascent from Middleton to Crown
King. it was necessary to construct
IS switchbacks.
Work on road under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Jaeger began in 1899
and was completed in 1901. 1t was
known as the Bradshaw Mountain
railroad, before it's acquisition by
the Santa F'e.
Millions of dollars in value of

However, much progressive legis-
