TOURING ON THE INCREASE
The favorable reports on the condition of the Arrowhead Trail and the incomparable scenery along the route made by motor parties traveling over this highway have given a great impetus to travel over what has come-to be generally recognized ?~s the shortest and most scenic route between Southern California and Salt Lake. The Touring Bureaus of the A. T. A. at Redlands and Lbs A.ngeles report a steady increase in the number of parties traveling northward. The largest single party of the week left Redlands Sunday, June 24. It consisted of A. M. Patterson and his son and their families, seven strong, traveling in their touring car, accompanied by Dr. A. C. Marshall and wife of Burlington, Iowa, in their own car. This party is making a leisurely trip east by way of Salt Lake City, trying out some of the trout streams and detouring into scenic fields en route.
FEDERAL AID IN UTAH ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Utah's share in the federal appropriation for highway construction for the next five years is slightly more than $854,000. The State will appropriate a similar amount, making $1,708,000 available. Five projects are to be taken up this year, covering 264 miles. Appropriations have been made to meet an expense of $1,200 par mile-for gravel and surface roads and $12,000 per mile for concrete. The five roads to be built under the federal aid plan this year are: Castle Gate to Duchesne 44 miles; Thompsons to Blanding, 132; Ogden to Hooper, 10; Beaver to Milford, 33; Tremonton to Snowville, 45. This years work is to be proceeded with at once, and it is believed some, of these roads will be completed this fall.
INVESTIGATING COAST CONNECTIONS
A. W. Henderson, secretary of the Pike's Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway Association, of Colorado Springs, left Redlands Monday evening upon his return home by way of Salt Lake City. Secretary Henderson has spen* some time among the cities of the Pacific slope investigating the various automobile routes connecting with the intermountain highway division of the Pike's Peak road. He states that reports received by him before leaving Colorado were to the effect that there would be no decrease in automobile touring through che west this season, but that an actual increase might be expected.
