WATER and Accommodations.
All along the road at a distance OF
every few miles, water can be secured
and there is little danger of anybondy

At no point on the road is it much II
any more than five miles to windmill
and a pump, and the water is always
good
At the dam, those having business
there, can secure good accommodations
from the governments boarding house,
but it is best that they telephone
ahead and ask for accommodations be-
fore making the trip, and explain their
business to 2. H. Baldwin, the engineer
in charge. If accommodations cannot
be secured at the dam, the hotels at
Cutter and Engle afford accommoda-
tions and either place is not more than
an hours journey from the dam by
motor.
Eight Hours Ample Time.
The trip to the dam can be made
easily in eight hours from FL Paso,
including all stops Sunday, with four
passengers in my Chalmers $50 left
Ell Paso at $40 a m, stopped As min
utes in Las Cruces to tax on lunch and
rest a few minutes at the Elks' club;
stopped on the road to eat lunch and
made two or three other short stops
at the windmills along the way, yet
reached the dam by $40 in the after
noon.
Leaving the dam Monday morning at
$40, we reached The Herald office at
4:45 and we spent 25 minutes taking
out the steering rod, Strengthening it
and putting it back and an hour in Las
Cruces for lunch We lost 20 minutes
on the sand hill, digging a path ahead
of the front wheels with a shovel and
stopped three times to get water or
look over the car. Counting out only
the stop at Cruces for lunch and the
time spent in making repairs we were
on the road just six and q half hours.
We made no attempt for a speed record,
but we ran as fast as comfortable on
the good roads and took our time on
the bad ones.

The Los Angeles Race.
Los Angeles exepcts thirty or forty
cars to enter the California race and
the purse at that end Of the line is
little bigger than at this end and the
roads are not so good That Los An
geles will have 80 or maybe 40 cars in
the race is the declaration of Billiard,
Of Arizona. who has Just returned TO
Phoenix after two months on the coast
Billiard says that the race this year
is attracting more notice than ever
before. despite the fact that it is di-
viding attention with FL Paso.
Phoenix Gives Heavily to Los Angeles.
SO, 600, he thinks. San Diego will give
$1,000 the Imperial valley $1,000 Yuma
$500 and Phoenix $4,000, three times as
much as il gives for the FL PasO race
The entrance fee has been placed at

Bisbee-DOuglas Fight.
Douglas and Bisbee have not yet
got through fighting over the night
control and the route for the race, but
indications point to a cessation of the
war. Douglas now appears inclined to
accept the inevitable and let the con-
troll go to Bisbee and the race pass
through there without a fight to keep
ii exclusively on the Botderland route.
Bisbee is cOunseling moderation and
peace, so it is quite probable that ev-
erything will be serne in a few days.
Says the Douglas Dispatch:
Douglas is prepared to accept the
decision Of the committee arranging
the BOrderland route race from El Paso
to Phoenix. even If it be that the racers
shall go from Bisbee. to Tombstone,

NE of the most pleasant two
days outings possible from Ell
- Paso for an automobile party is
the trip to Elephant Butte dam.
The road is good all the wagon an
average-and none of it is very bad, at
least for any great distance.
On the whole, it is better than the
average country road even in this sec
ton, where We are blessed with good
roads where we can get up into the
country above the sand
The worst part of the trip at pres
ent is from Anthony to Las Cruces
and il will remain so until the road
work between those points is com
pleted. The road is torn up from
short distance beyond BerinO all the
way to Las Cruces and graders are at
work at several points.
Passing Las Cruces, the road to the
dam climbs onto the mesa over the
BorderIand route and continues over
it to the point where the road forks
to Organ The left hand road at this
point continues to Turney's ranch and
Elephant Butte. The road log was
published in The Herald last Saturday
and is easy to follow. However, r. h
Rinehart made a map of the road that
greatly simplifies things and can be
followed almost by a blind man. L

never for a second in doubt about the
road. The speedOmeter measurements

One Bad Stretch.
From Las Cruces to a point past
TurHey's second ranch house, over IS
miles, the road is as fast as anything
in the Southwest It has very few
crooks and no sand and the speed that
can be made over it depends entirely
upon the speed possibilities of the car.
Only a few gates have to be opened

distance, the road is bad or poor Tor

EUROPE COAL Of
OUR NATURE MAN
Ernest Darling Hankers to
Travel, but Broad Allan
tic Is in the Way

Ernest Darling, the nature man, may
spend the winter In Europe. He says
the advertisements OF the Riviera look
mighty good to him.
Darling has eaten the beautiful"
fruits OF the south seas and enjoyed
the creamy" nuts of Hawaii. He is
still fond of California, too. but the
wanderlust is in his veins. So. on the
way over Darling wants to stop at
the island of Madeira. where grapes
grow as large as plums and bananas
are not picked until they are ready to
melt in ones mouth.
Returning to California-for Darling
says he could not think OF leaving this
state for good-the nature man plans
to "go on around" and among other
places visit the island of Ceylon to
see what is called "the original gar
den of Eden
Darling says the people of this
country have altogether too much
land, so he desires to walk around
and over Europe to see how they do
things over there. He says half an
acre is enough for any one-that
there should be a law to that effect.
The nature man asserts that the
only thing in his path that might
prevent this European trip is the big,
broad Atlantic ocean.
