and that he had no doubt hut
that they would all come thru
in fine shape.
Mr. Ayers here diverged from
the Texas proposition as to the
Old Spanish Trail particular-
ly and the road question in
general and gave synopsis of
the road situation as it exists
in the United States today. He
touched upon a number of
states with reference to the
road situation. He said that
California had commenced her
road building campaign by
voting another bond issue of
$18,000,000, and then another
issue of $10,000,000, thus creat-
nig the fabulous sum of $73,-
000,000 for road building pur-
poses in that state.
The speaker was eulogistic
in his praise of the scenery that
abounds along the roadsides
of this historic trail. He said
that he was absolutely con-
vinced that once this historic
route be completed, that it
would become the most travel-
ed sand f most widely tourist
highway^ in the entire coun-
the only tourist route in the
country with the beautiful sun
shine illuminating its Moun-
tain peaks and sun kist valleys
every day of the year. The
speaker emphasized the fact
that this was a great asset,
and that there is nothing that
the nothern tourist appreciates
more. And then again, he said
that the beauty of the scenery
is not surpassed any where.
Beginning at Boerne, he says,
the elevation is approximately
1200 feet and thence westward
it rapidly begins to increase
until we reach the Davis Moun-
tains where we have an ele-
vation of . 5300 feet. This
covers a stretch of about 470
miles of as beautiful scenery
as car« be seen any where.
It will be the only ocean to
ocean High Way in the United
States. Mr. Ayers stressed the
fact that once tourists began
to travel this route, they
would at once realize the
wonderful delights it has to
offer to them, and as he stated
before would soon become the
most traveled high way in the
country. He also stressed the
fact that most of these tourists
carry cash and are willing
spenders, and when they leave
your town, they seldom leave
it without having left some of
their money in your town, thus
making the highway a great
asset to every town thru which
it passes.
The Old Spanish Trail Club
is getting out a magazine that
will come out by tne 15th of
this month and Mr. Ayres stat-
ed that it would be sent to all
of the members of this club.
Mr. Ayers, at the conclusion of
his address, read the Creed of
the Trail. This creed is very
beautifully and artistically got-
ten up and it is the intention
now of the club to present each
member of the club with a
copy of this creed.
•At the close of Mr. Ayers’
address. Judge Coke R. Steven-
son made a few but very point-
ed remarks upon the creed of
the Old Spanish Trail and
especially did his remarks ap-

ORGANIZATION OF A NEW I AN EVENING ON THE

BEAUTIFUL LLANO.
The Ancient Order of the

This Ancient, honorable and
high class order has not here-
tofore had an organization in
Junction, but we have a pro-
gressive bunch here who are
always on the alert for any-
thing noble and uplifting;
hence this Order of the Grotto.
Its motives, principles and
handiwork are secret and we
are unable to give our readers
any insight into its mysteries.
We are advised that it has al-
ways been one of the most
sercret of all orders and frowns
upon any publicity whatever.
Anyone desiring further in-
formation is respectfully re-
frerred to one of the above
named charter members.
tance out of town on the South
Llano road. He made mention
of the fact, that in order to
maintain the beauty of our
country, beautiful by nature,
it behooves, and in fact be-
comes the duty of each and
every citizen to aid in this
good cause by protecting the
scenic beauty of our county,
and that any one seeing any
person or persons depositing
waste and rubbish at any place
other than has been provided
for by the commissioners' court
of this county, should so re-
port said person or persons to
the county attorney.

FASTER SUNDAY IN
MATCHLESS JUNCTION.
On Sunday morning April 4,
1920, the beautiful sun rose in
all its splendor over the beauti-
ful little city ol* Junction, on
1 he Llanos, and this to us was
one of the most lovely Easter
mornings we have had the
pleasure to witness.
This was the day of all days,
when the citizenship of our
little city were anticipating at-
tending one of the churches,
some to see and others to be
seen in their beautiful Easter
atire and others to hear the
pastors on this Easter occasion
speak the word of God, but
alas, to a great many this was
a disappointment, for the wind
was coming direct from the
north and was entirely too
cutting for palm beach and
other more beautiful and even
lighter fabrics.
On the court house lawn,
where the attendant had left
a spray on all night, near a
tree, icicles had formed some
eight or ten inches long and
the beautiful green grass
around the tree for some ten
or fifteen feet was covered with
ice, and in the sunshine of the
morning and up until a late
hour in the day presented a
beautiful picture to those who
love to look at natures handy
work.
We took a picture of the tree
and its surroundings, and some-
time during the “good old sum-
mertime’’ we will run it in the
Eagle so all our readers may
see just how lovely this picture
realy was.

A GOOD THING.
The majority of the members
present accepted option 5
benefit certificate.
During the course of the
evening two barbecued goats,
prepared by old "L” and coffee,
bread and pickles were enjoy-
ed by the membership.
More members attended this
rally than has been in atten-
dance for two years past.
It is certainly to the interest
of all Woodmen to investigate
the new rates.
The lodge invites you to be
present the first night in
May.
