P. ]. Sullivan
Has Good Idea
(From Tuesdays Examiner)

(From Tuesdays EXam1ner)
Somebody somewhere must always
start every good move that rebounds
to the benefit of any community.
Many good ideas have been forward

great benefits.
Here is another one and this time
it is P. j. Sullivan, of the Stag, who
has a new and novel idea that if work.
ed out will benefit Yuma more and
more as the years &C by.
Mr.. Sullivan's idea is to take about
twenty or thirty good live boosters,
put in $40 or $50 each, and designate
one week to be known as carnival
week in Yuma His idea as to time
would be the week from Christmas
eve to New Years eve, winding W
with the big night on New Years
eve when the new year comes in.
He goes further with the idea and
wishes to take the two blocks on Main
street and here place the attractions.
side shows, etc., as well as the band
stands.
All the revenue to be derived is to
be put back into the fund for bigger
and better week year following, and
to gradually build this carnival week
up to something that will be known
and talked of all over the southwest
This may not be done the fir3t
year. 1t may not even be done TIE ser
ond year, hut if the organization is
kept up and letter as each succeeding
year goes by there is 70 reason WHY
it should be made one of the biggest
boosts for the town.
Mr.. SuliI an would have an Elk's day
an Eagles day, and so on among the
lodges. He would have an Imperial
valley day, Los Angeles day, Tue
son day, etc.
And, he points out that the very
novelty of any city or town being able
on account of weather conditions tn
hold an outdoor carnival durins the
holidays, would make it novelty and
win for it attention wherever it was
heard of.
1t looks like good idea and should

SOME THINGS THAT MUST
BE DONE BEFORE THE RACE

In conversation with Messrs. Tetz-
laff and Lawrence last night the Elk
aminer learned that the hardest part
of the whole road to be travelled from
San Diego to Yuma is between Ell Cen
tro and this city, and acting on a sug-
gestion from Mr.. Lawrence, the fol-
| loving letter was sent from this office
to-day to every paper in the Imperial
Valley and also to Sheriff Meadows
and the board of supervisors of that
county.
Gentlemen: We are sending this let
ter to all the newspapers of your val
ley and also to the board of supervis-
ors. Yuma is doing everything her
citizens can to pull all the automobile
travel from the east and west, via Yu-
ma and naturally via the Imperial val
ley. Our people went after the big
race from Los Angeles to Phoenix and
got it; our people tried to secure the
big Westgard A. A. A. party of forty
cars and we have the promise Of that:
Yuma is doing everything she can
to throw business your way, and VIC
feel that the papers and officials Ct
The Imperial valley should help.
On our part OF the road from here
to Phoenix we have the promise of
the board of control that they will
fix up the road before the big race and
Cur supervisors will fix the road from
here to Dome and on to the Yuma
county line, and also place signboards
along the road so that none may lose
the road.
Last night we entertained Chester
Lawrence, of the Los Angeles Exami-
ner, and Ted Tetzlaff, of the Fiat rae
ing car. They are boosting for the
southern route, but 10th of them de-
clare that the hardest part of the
whole race is from Ell Centre to the
Colorado river.
Another thing they complain of is
that with numerous roads leading ev-
erywhere through the desert that any
nne is liable to get lost.
Now will you not use your best eff
forts to get your supervisors to sign
board this road plainly and to fix lp |
the road the best their means will III
low.
One more thing, Mr.. Tetzlaff will be |
back in about three days. Have you
a guide there who could come over
here, guide Mr.. Tetzlaff back over the
best road to Ell Centre, and then go
before your board of supervisors and
get them to make that route the Off
cial road and signboard it at once?
Yuma and the Imperial valley can
not do too much in this respect as it
will mean much to both valleys now
and later on.
Can we not work hand in hand?

Ted TetzIaff and Chester
Lawrence Arrive in Yuma

wrote the supervisors of Imperial
county to-day.
Mr.. Tetzlaff said that the road in
places was grown up with underbrush
and in other places was so sandy that
it was almost impossible for even a
high powered car to run through it.
Then again, he stated, that so many
little trails and roads wound away
from it that it was almost impossible
for anyone to tell which road was the
right one and which the wrong.
Nor can Yuma county afford to forget
her end of this for one moment.
The road from Yuma to Caliente. or
rather to the Yuma county line must
have solid, substantial, sign boards
placed along the route, and if the SUI
pervisors and Road Superintendent
Joe Smarr wish to leave a monument
to themselves as public officials u at
will stand for years, the sooner they
blaze this road with signboards so that
it is absolutely impossible to get lost
the better.
Our people owe it to Themselves and
We owe it to the visitors that will
come through from tiIe to time to
do this and do it at oncp.
