GRAND CANYON
AUTO TOUR HAS
BEEN BROADENED
Unique Event in Arizona is Over
Same Route as Last
Year
STUDEBAKERS IN
IMPORTANT TEST
Roads Are Improved, But Still
Scarcely Visible to Unframed
Eyes

The touring season In the west 10
being formally ushered In this month
By the second annual Grand Canyon
Run which, with fifty cars in line,
promises to be the largest and most
important event Of its kind on the
1873 calendar.
Begun last year as q protest against
the rough. uncared-for roads OF Arr
coma, the tour has already brought
about highway improvements all
along the line between Phoenix and
the Canyon. State and local author
tiles have combined to smooth out
many of the worst stretches. A new
road has been built, at great cost
around the notorious Yarnell grade
known to motorists Of Arizona as one
Of the toughest climbs up which any
car has successfully been driven
While there II little OF the highway
which. to an eastern motorist would
seem even visible, the present state
Of the trail permits much riding on
high gear, providing the tourist Is
equipped with a light, powerful car
and doesn't mind q good jounce now
and then.
Aside from the rough character OF
the road, the Grand Canyon tour Is
remarkable In several other respects.
The event. like that OF last year, Is
open to Studebaker cars only. Though
starting at Phoenix, 1t included both
last year and this. entries from Pres
colt. Tucson, Flagstaff and other Art
xuna towns. with several cars from
Los Angeles. On the six-day itine"
airy. the tour spends one night c
Prescott and one in the tourist hotels
at the Canyon. The other three nights
enroute, the party Is cared for at the
famous Harvey Houses OF the Santa
Fee railroad system. Besides the Can.
yon itself, the route OF the tour af'
fords an inspection OF AriEona's famous
lava beds, Ice caves and cliff-dwelleI
cities. It all passes through several
Hopi and Navajo Indian reservations
All along the route, Wayland Wood

Inc, manager Of the tour, has arrang
Ell supplies of provisions for men and
cars. These supplies include In two
instances q cistern OF pure water. One
Of these water stations Is located As
miles from any house In either direc.
ton. In the middle Of desert.
Despite the fact that the trail is
almost always beset with difficulties,
several women motorists are among
this years competitors for the big
silver trophy that will reward the
winner. This Is undoubtedly the re-
suit Of the example set by Mrs. Key
who last year drove her Studebaker
"20" from Phoenix to the Canyon and
hack. with perfect score.

What Tomato Clubs Did.

DO you think the Tomato Club
work of interest and importance only
TO the girls who take part in it? If
so, listen to what Prof. l.. y. Dun

ties:
Last year (191D when we started
the work in Pike County, 1 was pres
ent and saw the first can Of tomatoes
up put that was canned in that coun-
ty. In July, 1912, we found that up
to that date $4,000 cans Of tomatoes
ned as a result of the work. These
cans were worth ten cents each, a to-
tai of $4,000 worth of good, whole
some vegetable food products for the
home and market, which would have
decayed and gone to waste if it had
not been for the Girls Tomato Club
work
THE work in Walker county has
been in progress two seasons, and in
of fruit and vegetables had been put
up as q result of the Tomato Club
work. In one of the leading bust
ness towns. | asked the merchants
where they bought their canned to-
matOcs, fruits and vegetables, and
was told that all these products were
purchased from the girls in the To-
mato clubs and from their homes"
Here is a new industry producing
$4,000 worth Of goods in two Coun-
ties as a direct result of what some
people may have thought merely an
attempt To interest girls i'm garden and

London, Feb. 23.-The mission to

Key and the Balkan allies in the pres
ent war remain unchanged.
Vague rumors are in circulation

tory at Bulair, but Sofia is silent re-
garding it and, according to an f.
ficial statement issued at CONSTANT
nople tonight, nothing important has
happened either at Buliar, Adrianople
or along the Tchatalja lines.
Bulgaria has refused to consent to
the formation Of neutral zone at
Adrianople. Therefore the consuls
and foreigners must remain inside che
city unless the porte reconsiders its
refusal to permit them to pass the
Turkish lines
An uncensored dispatch from Con-
stantinople, received here, brings the
interesting news that the porte has
abandoned the idea of making an Of
fensive or thanking movement and will
confine the operations of it's troops TO
defending the Tchatalja and Bulair
lines, hoping that time will operate
in Turkeys favor either by bringing
about complications in Europe or the
exhaustion of the allies At the same
time the dispatch says, Turkey by
making small concessions concerning
Adrianople will endeavor to persuade
the powers and the allies Of the adj
Of an early peace.

KILLING At HAGOOD.
JAMES HALLE SHOT TO DEATH RY
DAN EDWARDS, JR.
David Robinson Dangerously Wound
cd--ShoOting Scrape Occurs at Ne
gro Dance at IiaGood Friday Night
Shooting Alleged to Have BceI,
Done i'm Sclf-Dcfensc.

In shooting scrape at negro dance
at Hagood Friday night James Halle
was shot and killed by Dan Edwards
Jr., and David Robertson was danger
ously wounded. The shooting is al
legged to have taken place when Ed
wards intervened when Halle attempt
ed to break up the dance by drivira
off the musicians. Edwards was ar
rested by the magistrate and brought
20 Jail Saturday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff John Epperson, where he is
still in confinement.
Very little definite information
could be learned Of the shooting bv
the officers who held the inquest Sat
urday, but from what could be OBJ
tanned it seems that the shooting was
justifiable, as Edwards was only act
ing in self-defense. From what has
been learned of the occurrence (,
seems that at the dance Halle went
up to the musicians and tried to stop
them from playing any further. I'd
wards intervened, expostulating with
Halle for trying to break up the
dance. Halle cursed and struck Ed
wards, who backed off sfrom him
drawing his pistol as he went Halle
followed Edwards Up and attempted
to strike him again when Edwards
shot him. Edwards claims to have
had only one ball in his pistol and
fired only one time. Two bullets
struck the dead man, one in the neck
just below the chin, which penetrated
the neck, coming out at the back Of
the head, while the other went
through the neck, entering just behind
one ear and coming out just below
and behind the other ear. A bullet
penetrated Edwards coat sleeve hut
failed to injure. 1t was stated that at
least four shots were fired in the
melee. and probably more, but who
fired them could not be ascertained.
One bullet struck David Robertson in
the leg and inflicted a dangerous
wound. Halle was alleged to have
had pistol and a pair of brass
Knucks on him at the time of the
shooting, but none were found on him
afterwards. Edwards and Robertson
had pistols.
AT the coroner's inquest it was
hard to get witnesses and harder still
to get them to say anything about
the shooting. The jury returned a
verdict Of justifiable homicide. How
ever, as there was so little informa-
tion forthcoming it was decided best
to hold Edwards until further infor-
nation could be worked up. A charge
of carrying concealed weapons was
also lodged against him. Rural Po-
liceran Norris and Magistrate CiIis
OF Rembert were left in charge with
instructions to work up what evidence
they could.
The general feeling among the
white people of Hagood is OF indiffer-
ence at the killing of Halle, who was
said to have been bully in that sec
tion. 1t was stated that a short time
ago he had held up a white man in
his store at that place and made
threats against him if he complained
TO the magistrate.
