Anthony, Kaaa., has waa her fight
for routiag the Southwent Trail be-
tween Wichita aad Canadian. All
members of the executive committee
have voted to adopt the Anthony, or
southern route as against the northern
route thru Attica aad Harper, which
route was selected at the Woodward
mooting laat November.
This iaforautlon waa given oat Sat-
urday by L A. MeAdaaw of this city,
president of the Sooth west Trail Asso-
ciation. He bad Just received the votes
of the four presldenta.
The highway thru Anthony run* due
east along a stele rood to JopUa. Mo.,
and It la quite probable that aa organi-
zation will now be perfected to build
another branch of the Southwest Trail
from Anthony east to Joplin, and on to
St. lioui*. The road from Anthony east
to. the Kaunas line Is already a great
road, and all that is necesaary to make
the extension to St. Louis is to perfect
the organisation.
Tourists returning from California
are very liberal in their praise of the
coudltion of the Southwest Trau from
Kl Paso to Clovls, thru the Pauhandle
a ml on to th* Oklahoma line. They
say it 1* fouud to lie in good condition,
giving cars no trouble at all, and far
*un*t**e* all other roads. The South-
west Trail is destined to become a great
route, and a highly popular one. -Cana-
