El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-08-30

AYOR D. X. B. Sellers, of Albu-
NE querque. has completed the log
A'A of the road from FL Paso to
Albuquerque, over which the reliability
run to the New Mexico state fair will
be made in October.
The mayor was recently in FL Paso
looking after the racing matter and on
his return from here to his city, he
Transcribed his road log and supplies
a COPY to The FL Paso Herald motor
department. 1t will be invaluable to
those who contemplate making the run
in October as well as to other motorists
of the southwest who may wish to
make the run at some future time
As The Herald will secure or make
logs of numerous roads leading into
and out of FL PasO and give them pub
Lefty from time to time, it would be
advisable for motorists to secure small
books and paste these logs into them
for future use.
'T am Just in receipt of a letter from
Francis +. Lester, of Las Cruces, re-
questing that I send him a log of the
road I Travelled over from 81 PasO to
Albuquerque at the very earliest Op-
pOrtUnity, as he and another Las Cru
ces automObilist were DESTROYS Of i'm
mediateIy making trip over the road
with view of having such improve
ments and repairs made as would be
Engle and Las Cruces also for their
own satisfaction to travel over that
portion of the road from Engle to Al
buquerque," writes mayor Sellers
SOuth-yestern Meeting Proposed.
Il am also Just advised by automO-
bilists from the PecOs valley that they
would be pleased TO start a reliability
run from Roswell the same day the FL
PasO Auto club depart from Ell Paso. in
which event the meeting of AUTOMOBILE
d
probably be the most representative
ever held in the southwest, and should
lead to q meeting with FL PasO later
in the season, in which all autOmObil-
lists from New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas might cOngTegate and form a
southwestern association that would be
Of great benefit to the cause of good
roads and the consequent trans CONT
mental travel that would naturally fol-
low"
