RAMBLER COMES OVER
ROAD RACE ROUTE
ARRIVED IN PHOENIX LAST EVE
MING IN FINE CONDITION.
Driver and Mechanician Say Road Is
Fair and Much Better on This
Side of the Colorado.

Confident that if they do not win
The Republican cup they will not be
anywhere near the tail end, VIII Sher-
riff and a. Schryver arrived in Phoe-
nix last evening in c. A. Jewels
Rambler car, which they had driven
over the course of the Los Angeles
to Phoenix road race. They state that
on the whole the road is fair, that
this side of the Colorado being much
better than on the California side.
Jewels car is the first Rambler to
be entered in the Phoenix race. 1t is
not entered by the Rambler manufac-
turers, but privately. by Jewel him
self. Sheriff. is the driver and Schry-
yer is the mechanician.
I'VE certainly have to take off our
hats to Arizona for her natural roads,"
said Sheriff., after he had put up
his machine at the Pope Hartford
garage and gotten on the outside of
the biggest meal he could buy in
Phoenix "On the east side of the
Colorado the course is pretty good, but
on the other side there are long
stretches of sand. Arizona has no
sand.
THE worst road we struck in Ari-
IONA was the last thirty-five miles
before we reached Phoenix. 1t was
full of chuck holes. One minute we
would be going along smoothly and
easily and the next we would fall
into a hole with a dull. sickening
thud.
I'VE didn't touch a bolt on the ma
chine during the entire trip. Once
an inner tube blew up. When we
left some of the drivers who knew the
course predicted that we would have
TO telegraph back for half a dozen
new tires, as the ones we had were
old, two being rethreaded. But those
old tires held out fine and are good for
another trip like this one.
There is a lot of sand between
Mecca and Dos Palmas, while there
are twelve miles of said about White
water. Between Indian Wells and
Indio the road is very chucky.''
Along much of the road west of
the Colorado, one car can't pass an
other without climbing rocks said
Schryver. IF some machine breaks
down along there. there will be one
grand tie-up of traffic. Luck is go
ing to count a great deal in the race.
The last man out of Los Angeles is
going to have n sweet time of it, for
the machines ahead will tear up the
sand until it will be almost impossible
to get through. The last car will not
finish"
Sheriff. and Schryver started from
Los Angeles Monday evening, staying
at San Bernardino that night. The next
day they ran to Mecca and on to
Ehrenberg Wednesday. The trip from
the river to Phoenix was made in one
day. They will ship their car to
Mecca and run in from that point on
their own power. 1t is their plan to
spend a day or two here, familiariZ-
! ing themselves with the route into
the fair grounds and around in front
| of the grand stand, where the big
race win end.
They state that when they left Los
Angeles eleven cars had been entered
in the contest. The list closes October

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
IN PASSENGER Dept.
Hartman Lines in South Going After
Long Haul Passenger Business.

In a day or two City Ticket Agent
r J. Tretheway of the local Southern
Pacific office will depart for Los An
geles, where he will assume the duties
of his new position as travelling passen-
ger agent of the Washington Sunset
route. He will be the first man to Oc-
cupy this particular position in the
territory he viii cover, WHICH will en-
brace that portion of California south
and west Of Banning. Arizona and
New Mexico, the position having been
created with general reorganization
of the passenger department of the
the lines traversed by this popular fall,
winter and spring route from the east
to the Pacific coast.
The Washington-Su Sunset lines are
launching a campaign, independent of
the Southern Pacific, for the long
haul passenger business between New
York, Washington and other eastern
points to Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. This route is to become an act
i've competitor to the other trans
continental lines.
The point that will be brought out
the strongest, and the principal one
which the railroad officials expect will
appeal to the traveller from the east, is
that the Washington Sunset route
passes through the southern tier of
states, and in the winter months gives
the opportunity of travelling through a
comparatively warm section of the
country. During at least three months
of the year it is likely this very point
will work to some disadvantage to the
route.
The appointment of Phil K. Gordon
as general agent of the passenger de-
partment of the G. H. T. a. N. o.
Louisiana Western and other Harri-
man lines in the south, with headquar-
tiers at San Francisco, is considered
significant in that it portends the
campaign outlined herewith. Fred L.
Whitney has been appointed travelling
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific at San Francisco. vice Fred S.
Shoup. transferred to other duties. c.
S. Chisholm has been appointed travel
ing passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific at San Francisco vice John S

ing passenger agents win soon be put

on to advertise the southern route, and
thereby make the proposed campaign
even more effective.
1t is expected that Hy Page, who is
to succeed Mr.. Tretheway as local city
ticket agent of the Southern Pacific,
will arrive here tomorrow or Sunday
from Guaymus, where he has been the
Southern Pacific agent for a year or
two. Mr.. Page was formerly city
ticket agent here for the Southern Pa
cific and his many friends will well
come him back to his former position.

 Washington, Nov. 26.-When the National Rivers and Harbors Con- gress meets again in this city in December, it will strongly endorse President Taft's waterway policy. As set forth in one of his speeches, President Taft heartily urged a sys- tematic treatment of rivers and har- bors improvement in all sections of the United States, instead the im- provement as has been progressing in the past through sporadic appro- pr:ations from Congress.
 According to Walter $. Dickey, of Kansas City, the Rivers and Har- bors Congress will have its actions backed up by the President and Con- gress will join with the President in an effort to take the waterways fm- provement out of politics. This, he says, will be a very difficult job as very often Congressmen are returned to the National legislature because of the fact that they produce the goods" for the district of their home state which they represent. Others who understand the question thor oughly agree with MT. Dickey, that should President Taft receive the endorsement for a systematic in- provement of rivers and harbors from Congress, he will have accomplished one of the great movements of pro- gress during his administration.
 ln speaking of the subject MT. Dickey says: Ever since there has been a waterways bill, projects have been provided for which there was ve"y little merit. That came about through +id1uenceI' Individual members of Congress have asked for and received appropriations for their districts, purely because of personal representations. This has made the rivers and harbors bill the greatest piece of npork barrel" legislation in he national government.
 'The first organized effort against this method of deepening harbors and making rivers navigable followed the orgs niatiOn of the Rivers and Har- bors Congress. The first substantial recognit on which 1t received came when the president announced that he would veto the next pork barre sshillswh,lb4 came before him.
 This Situation makes it plain tha' the rivers and harbor bill VII be O an entirely different character from any of it's predecessors. That is j will be different if it becomes [ law.''

Invitations have beel issued by the officers of the Congres to the cities, states and commercia organ zations of the. country to al point delegates. "A thousand of whol are expected to attend.

 Washington, Nov. 26.-Just to re- mind the many political reformers, who for some years were knocking at the Congressional doors for legis- lation to correct the abuse growing out of political campaign contribu- tions, it will be interesting to watch for the reports on December 8, of the chairmen of the several campaign committees making public in accord ance with the campaign fund publ:- city bill which was signed by Pres ldent Taft, June 25th, the contribu- tlons received from various sources. The report will unquestionably prove Interesting in view of the many stories printed about the large sums contributed by the corporations and others to down the new policy of New Nationalism;" and, it might also be added, the sums contributed by the advocates of that doctrine,
 Members of the congressional com. mlttees express the opinion that the publicity law will fail to meet the expectation of it's advocates, and in that the report of the money contri- huted toward the expenses of the campaign will be far short Of the amount which the newspapers have from time to time asserted have been contributed. Should this prove to be the case it is believed by the adyo- cates of the publicity law that puhl;c sentiment will be so aroused that Congress will respond with an amendment making it compulsory to publish contributions before the cleo tions This provision was in the bill when it first passed the House. hut the Senate knocked it out, and the House., in order to get anything. was forced to accept the Senate amend ment.
