 FL PASO. Nov. 10.-"There ought to be thirty or forty entries in the Fl Paso- Phoenix auto race next year, and the prizes should total $1O.0O0," is the way Chairman Bob Rhinehart of the Fl Paso committee expresses his opinion of the first race this year George Purdy BulIard chairman of the automobile events at the Phoenix air, told me that Phoenix would put up $2,000 in money for the. race next year" said Mir Rhinehart and J. d. BoWen president of the Bisbee cham Der of commerce and the Warren District Automobile club told me that
 Bisbee and Tombstone would double tteir amount next year and put up s 000 l am sure that Douglas and Tucson will each put up $500, and I think that Deming, LordSburg, Flor ence, Mesa and Tempe will help out with considerable sized contributions. T am sure that Fl PasO will double it's subscription next year and make 1 it $2,009. Our race was a better one than the Los Angeles race. for we started 19 cars and finished Il of them. while Los Angeles started 23 and only finished :. The Los Angeles people made the best avera ge time. over the worst road, but our men will average 35 miles an hour easily, next year. They will know more about racing and they will have a better road next year The ROrderland peO- pie realize the value of putting the road Ii shape and the organization of | the Eurderland Route association is going to do much for putting the road III shape and keeping it tha- W6E. i T his race will bring thousands of cellars to Fl Paso from tourists this scason.

 c. 5. Stevens, president of the Fl Pasc Automobile club. declared: "FhoeEix people certainly showed the Fl Fasoans how to put on and run a | fair. They are alive over there, every one of them, and nobody hesitates to 1 put up money for an event like the fair. It drew the people from all i over Arizona and California, and it was the biggest, best natured, most enthusiastic crowd that I ever saw in 1 the southwest. There was something doing in front of the grandstand ev- 1 cry minute-races, shooting vaude- l ville high diving, aeroplaning, stock parades, etc. There was not a dull l minute. nor wait after d person en- l tered the grandstand. That answered | the question I had asked myself when ! l arrived as to why so many thou | sands of people Hooked into the 1 grandstand. The 30,000 people they 1 had in the grounds on Thursday for ! automobile day proved that the people will turn out if you give them some thing to see and do not make the waits long and tiresome. Fl Paso could soon build up a fair equal to
 the Phoenix fair, but it would take ! work. Phoenix is alive is taking ad- 1 vantage of it's opportunities and is | growing. Four big concrete buildings are now being built in that city when i there is scarcely any building going | on anywhere else in the southwest" J. w. Stockard, who was elected vice president for Fl Paso for the i Borderland Route association, said 1 The race next year to the Phoenix | fair is going to be the biggest thing
 1 in the history of the southwest, l think. We are going to have the road | in fine shape-We must have it that way all the time to keep the travel 1 CTS qpming our Way-and the time is going to be much faster. MT. Stew ems, president of the Fl Paso Auto mobile club; MT Rinehart, the racing l CidIIiIIdIl, dIu dAe gong to get 10 work right away to have Fl PasO's | end of the course put into shape and | kept that way. Fl Paso is the big l gest town on the route in the south west and must have it's part of the ] road in good shape. We can do it by | cooperation and we must co-operate 1 Phoenix has made a great success of | its fair by cooperation and shows 1 the world what cooperation can do. | We have got some splendid advertis- l ing for the BOrderland route with this
 road race and we must now put the 1 road in shape and keep it that way
 for the travellers who will come"
 The Fl Pasoans are unanimous in i their praises of Oliver Creech of ! Phoenix, for his conduct in stopping race to pick up Billy Adolph, when he | was caught under his car and badly | hurt. MT Creech had chance for first money, a good chance. yet threw
 it to the winds to look after a fellow driver, and the Fl Pasoans are heart 1 fly in sympathy with any effort to raise money to buy a medal for pre- i sentation to the Phoenix driver. It l has been the talk of the trip-hs good | Samaritan act towards Adolph-and | Creech is not only the hero of his i home people, but of all who have at | tended th Phoenix fair.
