Says the Bisbee Review:
A canvass OF many automobile own
ers of Bisbee and vicinity shows that
they are anxious TO form an automO-
bile club The project will be taken
up at the next meeting of the directors
Of the Commercial club.
There are now about 1F5- autOmO-
biles In the district. This year a great
MANY new cars have come in and il is
the general sentiment among owners
that q regular organization should be
formed to represent them in securing
better roads.
There is no doubt" said J. J. Bowen
yesterday in speaking Of the proposed
club, ''but that il is hpsh time Warren
district auto owners formed a club.
The assessment would be small, a few
dollars a month Take 500 used on
some of the worst stretches of road,
such as Mace road, and we would soon
have all the roads around the district
in first class condition Then there
is the matter keeping the streets
free from broken glass. Tt is true
that there is not much of this in Bis
bee. but the organization could see to
ii that the practice of throwing glass
in the streets would be stopped. The
dues would be small and the actual
tangible saving, in wear and tear
would soon make up the contributions
to the members
"In cases where races are to be run,
or big auto delegations received in the
city. an auto club is absolutely neces-
sary- 1t is almost impossible for out

movements and other matters pertain
ing to autOists to treat with individ-
uals. but action is sure and quick by
an organization"

There are many places to explore in

claimed that natural ice is to be found
the year around. The elevation Of
Dripping Springs is much greater than
that Of Las Cruces in the alley below
and il is several degrees cooler there

Van Patten has improved the resort by
building the lodge there. erecting per

ADVANTAGES OF
PHOENIX RACE
Arizona Gazette Points 10 the Value to
the Southwest Of the Race From
FL PasO to Phoenix Fair.

Says the Arizona Gazette, comment
ing upon the FL Paso-Phoenix automo-
bile race;
THE people of Phoenix should lend
every support to the proposed Ell Paso
to Phoenix road race. The cup race
from Los Angeles to Phoenix has been
an Institution and regarded through
out the country, on account of the
length of it and the character of the
route, as one of the automobile events
of the year. the greatest, in fact. Of
all road events Ii has been a great
advertisement for Phoenix and has
brought thousands here who would not
otherwise have come. 1t has made a
sort of highway of the course. and has
been a great stimulant to the good
roads movement.
An FL PasO-PhoeniN race. we be-
lieve. would double the benefits Ar
IONA has derived from the Los Angeles
to Phoenix race. IL would lead through
