PATHFINDERS FIND
 ROADS IN GOOD SHAPE

 |and 18th. The pathfinder to log the route reached Williams Friday evening. It was in charge of Way land Wood, manager of the Arizona Motor company; Craig Pottinger, representative of the Arizona Ga zette; M Cox, of Hot Springs June ton and E. T. Brown, driver and mechanician. The car which car ried the loggers was Studebaker "25."
 Craig Pottenger, the newspaper man with the logging party, sent the following special to the Gazette Believing that the pathfinder was to reach Ashfork Thursday after noon, the Williams people drove to Ashfork to find the loggers had not arrived. By telegraphic communi- cation it was soon ascertained that the pathfinder had started a day later than originally planned and had arrived at Prescott to spend Thursday night. Striking out at sundown the Williams people mo tored to the Mile High city, spent the night at that place and aroused the Phoenix travellers with the in- formation that they were to stop at Williams enroute to the canyon.
 The three Williams cars, two Hupmobiles and one Studebaker "25," which conveyed X. N. Sleeves, Geo. w. Mathews, Jesus Quijada, S. D. Edgington, Harry Miner, B. F. Sweetwood, Geo. w. Harben, Sam Miller, J. Canfman, Billy, Mccoy, all of Williams; Don Peake and w. E. Gardner, of Flag staff, led the pathfinder over the route all the way from Prescott to Williams via Ashfork. The gen uine hospitality accorded the mem bers of the big Studebaker party last year was again in evidence and not one member of the pathfnders was allowed to spend one cent dur ing his stay in this city. Every thing was free. Nothing was too good for the Phoenicians.
 * The pathfinder arrived at Ashfork about 1:15 o'clock. The Williams hosts had sent word ahead to the Escalante, the Santa Fe Harvey house, and dinner wa5 awaiting the entire party.
 Upon arrival at Williams the party was taken to the Santa Fe Harvey house, where instructions were given by the Williams escort to see that the Phoenicians had the best on the place. And they cer- tainly did enjoy the best. With many thanks and remarks that they
 would long remember the hospital ity of the Williams people, the log
 gers left this morning for the can. yon. After short stay at one oi the wonders of the world they will
 leave for Flagstaff, expecting to
 reach that city tonight. I While in this city the logger
