All reports have been mod estly made. with the result that the world has yet been apprised but meagerly of the lures of that won drous land. This summer, as many camping parties have invaded that terra incognito as in all preceding time, due to the advertising is has received through the mere mapping of the transcontinental highway through those parts, and it is a conservative statement that in years to come the trail to Apache land will be literally burned up by automobiles in the summertime and perhaps the year round.
 The most graphic account of a tour through that region yet made public is secured by B. E. Marks, law yer; R. NJ. Fafel, Physician; Harold Welles, mechanic, and George Hage- man, plumber and agent for the Franklin car, the trip being made in his machine. This is not designed as an advertisement for the Frank lin, though the car benaved beauti- fully. It suffered one accident, which will be described in due course, but that is nothing. fOc every car suf- fers accidents in that region, and some of them never get back. while the Franklin came back in fine weather, and the accident was not one that reflected in any manner on the cars construction.

This party had all kinds of professions advisers except a sky plot, and ever the plumber could do nothing t. curb the irritating and supe-fluou: precipitation.
