Border Town Makes Guar antee of $500 for Los An geles to Phoenix Road Race; Bullard Gets In a Good Word.

That Yuma can do things, was ev- idenced yesterday when President buliard of the Maricopa Auto Club received wire somewhat as follows rom the Commercial club there. We authorize you to offer the sum Iof $500 as our contribution toward the running expenses of the Los An geles to Phoenix road race for The Republican Cup" With the above came the news that Yuma has spent one thousand dollars and has put the Dome Yuma sand patch off the lace of the cath The way is clear now for the Los Angeles to Phoe- nIX road race. From Los Angeles to the Colorado river, the road is nigh, dry, hard and clean, and now that Yuma has seen her duty and done it so noble" the entire stint of desert is crossable with ease.

And the prediction has been freely made that if the monster motor eX- odus to the north next month meets with the proper treatment, this big summers tour will be the first Of a series that will grow and grow from summer to summer.

 It was confusing proposition for the firemen upon their arrival at First avenue and Tonto street There We're flames on the east side and peO- pie directing them to the fire on the west side of the avenue. The water was first turned upon the burning carpenter shop. thereby saving the Sellers home and the Wilson resi- dence next door. And while the fire men with the streams of water Were working on this blaze the chemical wagon was run into the IIansford yard and the burning hay drenched. Later the water was turned into the smouldering hay until the last Yes tige of fire was removed.
 Just how the Sellers fire originated is not known. The first indication of the blaze came when it was dis covered that the entire building was in flames. The principal damage will be through the loss of a very com plete equipment of carpenter tools owned by MT. Sellers. While there was considerable danger of the fire at the Hansford residence being com municated to other buildings in the vicinity it was eXtinguished before any material damage had been done.

This afternoons will be but the first of a cries Of meetings between now and July first It will be necessary to arrange for the accommodation of a large number of people between here and the canyon Not all the cars mentioned in the subjOined list ard in other lists not yet available will go the first day. The tour will be sent along it's course in sections, for it win not be possible to care for all the crowd at some of the stops Yet by despatching part of the ears on July second, part on July and part on later days. it will be possible to run the tour smoothly and without discomfort or inconvenience to anyone It is this starting prob lem that the directorate now faces.
 With nightly practice the Maricopa Auto Club band is now approaching that point where harmony and mel ody fill the air. even at the less for maI playings and tunings up. A really excellent musical organization, the band is certain to prove an immense addition to the Capital to- -the-Canyon run. and at the great Prescott From tier day and the little less preten tious Williams celebration, the band will be q great feature.
