From the speech OF L~ioNd-GeoIge on

Lady Somerset further adds: They

The congestion III our great cities
must be relieved by h peoples own

 Arizona Democrat: Wiring from Los Angeles, c. P. Bullard, presi- dent of the Maricopa Automobile Club stated that at meeting held yesterday in the Hollenbeck hotel twenty owners agreed to enter their cars in the Los Angeles-Phoenix race during the next fair. Bullard expressed the opinion that there will probably be twenty-five cars entered before the race starts. Bullard names the following cars: Duro, Royal Tourist, Midland, Rambler, Apperson, Buick, Frank lin, Knox, Maxwell, Mercer, Pope Hartford, Stakeholder, Thomas Fly CT, Winton Amplex, Ford. Velie, Great Western, Kissel Kar and Marmon. Bullard, who is now in Los Angeles, for some time has been boosting the big desert race.
 Bisbee Review: In the next few months Phoenix will probably be visited by several big men among them being Secretary of the h. terior Ballinger, Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson, and the army com mission named by President Taft 10 inspect the reclamation of the west. As yet no official notice has heen received here of the coming of Garfield or Wilson, though an nouncement has been made that during their vacation period this summer, both of them would come into Arizona. If Ballinger comes it will be to inspect the Roosevelt dam in the final stages of it's com pletion, while the object of Wilson's visit would be to get in touch with local agricultural conditions and the forest reserves. Most of the cabinet members are combining business with pleasure. If Secre' tary Wilson comes it will be the first time it is believed. that he has seen the Salt River valley.
