Arizona, May l7th. 1912. Mir Joseph H. Gray, Secretary, Warren District Commercial Club.
 Bisbee, Arizona Dear Sir:-lour favor of May 9th at hand l was certainly glad 10 know that the Warren District Commercial club and Douglas Chamber of Com merce intended to take up the matter of run 10 Bisbee and Douglas with this chamber and the Tucson Auto mobile association. A get-together meeting of this sort, especially if ! you hold a smoker will do more good l to promote a feeling Of general good i fellowship between the organizations of our city and the cities themselves ! than any thing else l know of. Sat urday evening would be about the ! best time for our arrival, so if you can arrange accordingly do so at any | time, and advise me early enough in advance of the date set for the meet i ing to allow mo to get up good rep ! resentation from Tucson. This Border land route must be advertised and it i is up to our three cities 10 do it. | Yourself and MT. Grindell are to be ! congratulated upon your successful handling of this Border,and matter and you can rest assured that l will be glad to work with you to further any good work in advertising this l highway
 
 that following he meeting at Bisbee the party start out on the Douglas-to- the-Gran1-Canyon tour as suggested by him in his letter to me last month. The following quotation is taken from his letter
 The plan is this. Start the tour with as many cars as We can get from Douglas and Risbee, make Tucson the first night, Phoenix the second night, Prescott the third night and the Grand Canyon the fourth night The party can be added to at each town, and by the time the Canyon is reached there should be fifty or more ears. A good roads meeting should be held in each town where a night stop is made. Tie idea oi this tour is not merely for q joy ride, but to stimulate the good roads movement throughout the state, and keep the Arizona peo pie at home for their vacations and for them to get the habit of seeing Arizona first.
 | I am yours very truly, J. H. Myers.
 Relative to the proposed trip. tht Tucson Star says:
 The chamber of commerce is now preparing for the tour advocated
 some time since by the Bisbee Com mercial club to the grand canyon
 The plan is now to have the Border land boosters from Tucson go to Bis
 bee. where the Douglas boosters vii
 meet them and the Bisbee boosteri in smoker. The day after thu
 smoker, when everyone Is in thu mood. all will journey over the Bor

 out for Phoenix, gathering machine for the tour on the way. Theme
 they will go north to the Grand Can ,, yon, arriving there with about fit. ] machines. The tourists will enjO.
