sunday might have been termed . "Donglas Day in the Warren District so many were there that came up rom the smelteF City. pome only coming as far as the Warren District Country clah while other came by motor ear and spent the afternoon . up town At the country club there | was goli match between the mems . teams and a number Of the fair sex . came mp also and a match between , the women members Of the two clubs . was also arranged. Besides these ! there were several automobile parties and the members Of these parties . were all enthusiastic over the high . way that links together these two sister cities. ''l had always hoped for something 1 like the speedway that Tucson has for this section.' said one of the wis itors Sunday afternoon. and now my wishes nave been realized. In fact l may say that what had hoped for has been exceeded Tucson's speedway Is fine, r is a splendid oX- ample Of road building and valuable asset to the city but 1t starts from | Tucson and leads back to Tucson, is Ia pleasure driveway pure and simple i We have as good a speedway. if not a | better one right here in the Bisbee- ' Douglas link of the territorial high way and besides this we have another advantage over the Tucson Speedway for our boulevard leads from city to city. is indeed connecting link. call it a boulevard advisedly for it is such a splendid road as to be worthy Of the name" Others spoke equally highly of the road they had tra- yersed and there were some great stories told Of the time that had been made.
 Politicians Form Party.
 In one automobile that made the trip from Douglas to Bisbee there were three who may well be termed politicians. In this party were Fred Johnson state treasurer elect, Bob" Sims. member of the constitutional convention and possible warden al Florence and NJ. r. Dicus who was candidate for the nomination for su- peryisor on the democratic ticket at the recent primary.
 Treasurer Johnson stated that he expected to go to Phoenix about the middle Of next week as he thought tho president would name Lincoln's 4lAlUdA dn aul1ASSlDh NAE. ilE Udu nothing to say about the appointment of assistants or clerical force as the constitution is silent on the subject and he must Bait legislative action 10 learn what clerical force his ol- ice will have.
 R. E. Sims had little to say on the Wardenship except that he believed his chances for the appointment were as good as those Of any other aspir- ant lie had an air of quiet confidence that made one think he had reason for his belief although he neither said nor hinted anything that might be construed to mean that he had had an intimation that the appointment Was 10 be his
 Other Douglas Visitors.
 Edward P. Grindell, secretary of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce and mines brought another party. Here they were all good roads boosters They spent most of the afternoon getting Letter acquainted with Bisbee In this party there were several ladies.
 W. W. Webb. manager of the Dime brought Q third party. In his auto mobile with him were Mrs. Webb, her sister. C. r. Tryon. business manager Of the International. and Mrs. Tryon.
 The advent of so many automobile parties. for there were others that may have escaped mention. is an ex- ample of what good roads mean 10 any section of the country g demon stration that these two neighbor cities are now drawn together as they never have been before.
