Blythe Rancho, and Ehrensberg, 27j miles from Los Angeles. It would be necessary to take the ferry here across the Colorado River. This river cross ing would be one of the features of the race. The car that arrived first would have an immense advantage.
 Once over the river the cars would pass twenty miles of excellent road. The worst part of the journey would be behind The next points would be Quartz, twenty miles from Ehrensbers, Salome twenty miles beyond. Buckeye thirty-fi miles farther, and then the goal at Phoenix, sixty five miles away.
 VI ASAN DIEGO
 President Bullard of the automobile club at Phoenix, who has charge of the automobile races to be run at the Territorial Fair at Phoenix next month and who suggested the Los Angeles to Phoenix endurance run, may have set on foot more good roads work than ane one will now give him credit for.
 The route down the coast to San Diego and then east to CaleXico or Im- perial and on to Yuma or up the river to Ehrensburg, if used, may help  route, as both San Diego and Imperial county road officials are working to that end Of this route across the desert there is better water than be . tween Indion and Ehrensburg, and not as bad going, though both are unin- viting
 For years there have been trails along the Mexican border, used by mining parties with wagons, and the past year a number of automobiles have gone between San Diego and Inn perial, while still others have gone from IndiO to Imperial, following the Southern Pacific Railway.
 THROUGH NEEDLES.
 Probably the most used route to Phoenix is along the Santa Fe to Needles, crossing the Colorado River lat that point. This way the going is good to Daggett, then gradually gets worse until, for one stretch of thirty miles. it is bad, on account of the shift ing sands This kind of sand has to be crossed, though, by every route. By way of San Diego, the sand is east of Yuma, while the same shifting sands are found between Indion and Ehrens- burg.
 By either the Needles route or through san Diego and Imperial, help in case of trouble is nearer at hand than by the Ehrensburg route, and 1t is a very serious matter travelling across the Colorado desert, as many have found.
 When Fenner, Fred Johnson and other local motorists crossed to Eh rensburg, one of the party went almost insane from want of water and the desert heat, and required two of the party to hold him in one of the cars after the other automobile had been abandoned, and it was hours before he recovered. Alone or with but one part ner, he might have rushed off to his death in the desert.
 He refused to drink any water, and the rest of the party had to drink rusty water from the radiator of the abandoned car. When water was finally reached the sick man was un- dressed and held in the streamed until the pores of his skin absorbed plenty of moisture.
 As there are to be a number of con- testants in this race, each may take a different route, unless one certain route is made official.

BLAZE THREATENED
TO CAUSE A PANIC
Short Circuit of Electric Wiring at
: Harper House Ignites Packing of
Fan During Party.

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned at the Harper house last even
ing while the McHugh ball was in pro-
sress, by the discovery of an incip-
lent blaze in the Lamp barber shop on
the first floor. None of the guests at
the party learned of the incident. but
it was feared at first that the alarm
might spread and create panic The
trouble arose from short circuit of
the electric wiring of one of the sus-
pended fans. The packing had become
ignited, and was sending forth much
smoke. Detective Cox of the police
department broke into the snop and
quickly cut off the power wires.

TRUST DEBT TO PRESIDENT.
Appleton Writer Asserts Increase OF
Small Investors Due 10 Roosevelt.

New York, Nov. 23.-"President
Roosevelt has been Of greater service
to the corporations than any other
one man in the country" Is the Sur
prlsing statement made by Frank H.
Fayant, a financial authority, in the
December number Of Appleton's mag
azine. The writer explains that this
is due to the fact that the president
has caused the public to devote more
attention than ever before to the
study of corporation affairs and that
as a result small investors all over
the country have bought the securi-
ties Of the best-managed Of these en-
terprlses. At no previous time has
the ownership Of the best known
railway and Industrial corporations
been divided among so many holders
as at present, and this of course, is
an influence making for the strength
and stability Of these concerns.
Some striking figures showing
changes that have taken place In
stock ownership since the panic Of
last year indicate that this is the case
and also that the rank and file OF in
vestors reaped rich harvest, while
the wealthy spectators bore the bur-
den of the loss.
