tin Tor the IucSOn star and the Ei Il Paso Herald. Mir. Martin went strong | CT in his article than did the other | members Of the party in thear expres- l sions. That article stated that MT. ] Ranc had withdrawn his entry for the race but this he denied to Mir. | Gray after reading the article. The party had a hard trip to Tucson and l being tired when they arrived ex- | pressed themselvss mere strongly Saturday night than they did the next day. i While work is needed on the roads ] in a number of places" said MT. Gray upon his return to Bisbee, The work | hat 6s absolutely essential is not | expensive. The worst conditions are fcund just after entering Pima coun- ty and it was as to these that the Fl | Pasoans found their worst cause for complaint People of Tucson are starred up by the article that was written and it will result in immedl- ate attention to the road, we were ] assured.
 | Eu telling of the trip from Bisbee to | Tucson Mir. Gray stated that the start was made too late for satisfactory | trip even had there been no acei- dents. The two cars got away at | i2:SO D. m. and made good time oF- | CT the divide and to Tom stone, tax ing an hour and a half including the f time required for the placing of signs at Lad curves and at forks Of the road. In Tombstone MT. Rand's car again broke the frcnt spring and | delay ol an hour and three Cuarters | for reDairs resulted. This spring ,gain F7-oke before the Rand ear has
 reached Fairbank.
