Bisbee daily review., 1913-08-17

they left to return. however. thi.
 morning.
 Describing the trip with Mir West
 gard. Secretary Gray said that they left Tucson at 9:50 and that as MT westgard would not permit the car tcI be driven faster than 20 miles pc , hour even over the best roads, it was i impossible to finish sooner
 Continuing his description Ora. [ said "The road to Vail from Tuesor i is good. From there on to the stat highway in the Santa Ritas there is no cause for complaint The state [ highway Is in fine shape with the ex : ception of two points where it is
 slightly washed on the edges. This
 road the party pronounced the best
 they had seen since leaving the best i roads of southern California.
 i Proceeding on to the Empire Ranch
 the time was excellent but after leav- ! ing the ranch there is a stretch of ten
 or fifteen miles Of atroeious read, < Here five to ten miles an hour was all 1. that was possible. Between sand
 washes. malapais hills. ard washed out
 roads the condition is disgracefuL It
 is as bad as anything the party had
 encountered except the Mammoth i Wash in southern California.
 Tn Santa Cruz county the dry farm CTS have the road in fair condition and l have agreed to keep it up until 1915, In this county the roads were better
 though not now at their best.
 From Hiachuca siding to Fairbanks there were sarae washes but no diff. ficultv was had in running at 20 miles | After crossing the San Pedro there is a mile or so of sand but this was ne
 gotiated with no trouble. Then came l a good stretch of road into Tombstone. "At Tombstone, we were hospitably entertained by the citizens, with the mayor taking charge and Bill Hattich | and Allie Howe ably assisting. Thers moving pictures pf the party and as sembled crowd were taken in the his toric ol dstreets by Mir. Taylor ana we had to hurry on.
 "Repots that the road from Tomb stone to the divide are in very bad condition are false. We ran the dis tance at a 20-mile rate an dcould easil! have gone at 50 had we desired Thii road appealed strongly to the path finders. Mir Westgard exclaimed tha II want to visit Europe with such see nery at home. The country about th' Empire ranch, so parklike in appear ance also excited their admiration. MT, Gray states that especial credi shall be given ". E. Morrison O Phoenix. It is probable the part! 1 would have gone the other way bu
 for the offer Of Mr Morrison who tol' Mr Westgard that if he would first @ to Douglas or Lordsburg. that Ee. NIT Morrison. would afterward defray thei xpenses back to Phoenix and driv' Iithem ta I.ordsburg via Globe.
 Il Further credit, according to Ora. | belongs to the Arizona Star, Johl
 Myers. secretary of the Tucson Cham Der of Commerce, Hi Corbett of TUC | son and the commercial organization at every point along the route, no
 forgetting the Maricopa Auto club. III The chief matter of importance ti | I Bisbee. besides the mapping of tn route. is that it finally establishes tn ! Borde-iand route via this city, Tomb stone and Fairbank, over the stat 1 highway, and once and for all dispose of the Hereford ''barbed wire rout I which placed Fisbee on siding. Thi is cause for satisfaction to all bus
 ness men of the city and district an' ! that satisfaction was last night bein heartily expressed. It has been lon fight for recognition for the greates l mining district of the southwest but has been winning fight that J. ]
 Bowen president of the auto club ant ! his associates have conducted.
