general feeling that the route men
toned is not, strictly speaking, via the
'Borderland, which goes by way OF
Hereford. Still there has been no yam
mering and yelling here. Bisbee people
have only to look at a route map to
see that.
@Bisbee's Purchase
'Bisbee has been yelling its head off
and occasionally, in order that the YER
satile secretary of the Warren District
commercial club may have the oppOr-
tunity to air his opinion in a weekly
Cor thereabout) letter, Douglas is again
accused of working hard for the Here
ford way. The Dispatch believes that
the night control should be in this city.
Bisbee has purchased it, outright. as
we have understood If Bisbee believes
IT is putting into the fund-we are
agreeable that the Hill City should
have it There would be never a yell
"SeIect the Best.
Douglas is engaged in boosting the
race and the route. This city is anxious
to do what it believes will most greatly
benefit the race 1t is preparing to
get busy on raising its end of the purse.
Let's all get busy and boost the race
and forget intercity jeaIousies.. The

Bisbee Man Talks
The BiSbee Review prints the follow
ing local story on the race:
" Douglas and Bfsbee had better
cease quarreling about the route of the
FL PaSo-PhOenix auto race. Their con-
troversy is doing the race no good
Anyway, it has already been settled
that the race is to come through Bisbee
and Tombstone, not through Hereford
This statement was made by J. S.
Morrison, a local automobile agent, who
has just returned from FL Paso- He
says that the disagreement between
Bisbee and Douglas is more serious
than is realized her. He continued:
Douglas wants the night control to
be established at that place and wants
to cut Bisbee off the route entirely.
sending the cars through by way Of
Hereford To this Bisbee is making
earnest objection BiSbee has ambi-
tons to be the night control
Decided Long Ago.
When that meeting was held in
George Purdy Billiards office to make
preliminary plans for the FL Paso race,
1t was agreed that the route should be
through Bisbee and Tombstone. 1t was
also agreed that the night control
should go to the southern Arizona city
raising the largest amount of money
for the purse. Bisbee has raised $1,000
and understand that Douglas has $500
or 500 promised Tucson agrees to
get busy soon.
lei Paso is taking no interest in
the controversy. The Ell Paso people
are going to control the race to the
state line and after that they are not
interested The charge has been made
that if the cars are sent by way of Bis
bee they will have to be hauled across
the San Pedro river at Fairbank This
is not true, for the state bridge now
being built at that point will then be
completed. Governor Hunt has told
me that before the race the Tombstone
Bisbee road viii be in first class con-
dition.,"
Billiard Is Interested.
George Purdy Billiard writes Mr.
Rinehart that he is now back in Phoen-
tx from his California tour and that he
means to devote most of his time be-
tween now and the fair to the auto
mobile races He asked Mr. Rinehart
to wire him definitely about the night
control and said he would at once make
application for the sanction of the
Three AS for the race He said the
Phoenix application had not vet been
made, but that entries were being
taken and advised Mr. Rinehart to ac-
cept entries now and make them form
al and official as soon as sanction is
given the race, which he believes will
be soon
Mr. Rinehart is planning to start in
about a week to go over the route and
inspect its condition. 1t is probable
that several of the drivers in the race
will accompany him.
