rods of the canal We then "bucked''
the sand grade a few times, gaining
from four to 10 feet each time As
pressure from so to 80 pounds and the
car pulled itself easily on intermediate
gear and Travelled as fast as it could
run on that gear.
With flattened tires. the car could
almost pull itself on high and, in fact,
did so, for short distances Reaching
the top of the grade or "Old Beach
line" we found the Mammoth wash
of that dreaded piece of road from the
canal to the S. p. railroad bridge at an
average speed of not less than 10 miles
an hour.
AT the railroad bridge we quickly re-
inflated our tires from a portable pres
sure tank, ate breakfast, and reached
Glamis at 1880.
Leaving CLAIMS, we took the new
road, on the north side of the rail-
road, thereby avoiding the very heavy
drift sand of the Walking hill, which
has caused so many to drive the rail-
road tracks or turn back discouraged.
This new road has not sand whatever,
but has many shallow washes for
about five miles We had no further
incident during the day, except that I
dropped my watch and, like some po-
litical parties, it stopped running, but
we crossed the ferry at Yuma an hour
before sunset.
We left Yuma September at $3.50
and reached Aqua Caliente shortly
after dark and just ahead of a cloud
burst that during the early night filled
the Hassayampa and Aqua Fria rivers
bank full and filled the arrOyos with
a rushing, tumbling flood of water.
As we could not get an early break
fast at Caliente, We left about sunrise
the next morning and ran to Buckeye
for a late breakfast, Phoenix for late
lunch and on to Florence, arriving just
as the sun was setting.
The next morning we had to tighten
a bearing and did not get away until
nearly 10 o'clock. We took lunch at
Tucson, got my mail and started for
Douglas. While there had been tor
rental rains, we encountered but one
wash, in the Santa Rita mountains, that
was dangerous, but We crossed it with
out even stopping the car. At the big
wash several miles south of the Empire
ranch, however, we were DELAYED about
50 minutes getting out, which we ac-
complished by turning the car around
In the wash and backing up the OPP
posite bank.
A heavy rain was falling south of us.

might be interesting.
September /, at $40 a. m, we left
Long Beach, Calf, taking the coast

arrived at 3 p. m We remained in San
Diego the following day and left for
the Imperial at Z the morning of the
Srd. As I was logging the road east
from San Diego, We were delayed
slightly at times. We made several
stops to take photos, eat lunch and to
get mail at Ell Centre, but reached the
Bungalow, in Brawley, at that after
brushed and drove it fast on high gear
as we had the advantage of the slightly
down grade.
September 4 I spent at Brawley, I'm

country.
The morning of the 5th we left
Brawley before daylight and drove to
AmereiO before we could see to drive
without lights. When within one-half
mile of the east side canal, our Iubri-
eating oil can fell from the car and
was smashed under the wheels: we then
had to drive back to Weist, eight miles
before we could get another supply OF
oil We then returned to the canal
which we found spanned bv an auto

extra miles. Leaving the canal. We

Globe is still figuring on q race over
the Globe-RoOsevelt road, but Globe
wants to start the race at FL Pasos run
Ii over the BOrderland route to Lords
burg ana there divert from that route
to the ella valley, through Globe and
by the Roosevelt dam TO Phoenix The
first proposition as understood by FL
Paso was TO start the proposed Globe
race at LOrdSburg when the FL PaSo
cars arrived there; that the Globe cars
would then make the race from there
TO Phoenix TO demonstrate that the
than the Borderland route, and that
Globe, the ella valley and Phoenix
would put up the money
According TO a Globe paper, however,
the Globe people want Fl Paso and
Phoenix to put up an amount equal
TO that put up for the BOrderland race.
and let the Globe-PhOeniX race be-
come an Ell PasO-Globe-PhOeniX race
and start here
Two Races Proposed From Here.
The Globe people would thus have
two races from Ell Paso to Phoenix,
over diverse routes, the drivers 10
take their choice This matter has not
been officially placed before the FL
PasO Automobile club, however, and
the only Official request that FL Pas
Oans have heard of Globe making was
for a $500 donation from Phoenix for
the GlObe-PhoeniN race, starting at
LOrdsburg.
The III Paso Automobile club could
not raise another $1,000 for the Globe
Phoenix race, even if the request were
made by Globe.
This is the first effort TO have a race
from here to Phoenix and Fl PasO feels
that it is putting up all It can afford
at this time, when IL posts $1,000
The race between here and PhOeaix
was originated BY Bisbee and Douglas,
on the BOrderland route and was tax
an up by FL Paso and pushed to a fin
al conclusion Globe had not up to
that time made any request for a race
The BOrderland route was the only
route that had been mentioned when FL
Paso pledged itself to the race.
No More Money Now.
Fl Paso does not feel that it can put
up any more money for race this
year. Next year, in the event of a sue
cessful race this year, something may
be done for Globe Two races may pc
put on or the drivers permitted to
take either of the route they choose.
The BOrderland route has been ap-
proved as official this year, however,
bv the A A. A. so no change can be
made. The only thing possible would
be TO put up aS<itiOnal money for
