phone is no snap" said c. E.
Stratton, general manager OF
the Tri-State Telephone company when
furnished The Herald with a checking
service for the Phoenix race. AT times
1t was necessary to relay the checking
results through many towns and then
send them here by telegraph to our Of
flee where it was distributed to the
newspapers and bulletin boards. The
checkers would often be confused and
this necessitated a counter check by US
in order to have the check absolutely
correct In addition to the trouble and
time required to get the running times
of the motorcycle and automobile race,
the service cost US more than $780,
which is our donation to the patrons Of

"El PasO will secure much valuable
advertising from the booklets that are
to be placed on the western de luxe
trains said Andrew Reeves. The
booklets are bound in leath and viii be
kept on the observation cars. About
the only thing a person has to do on
a train is read and it is certain that the
booklets will be read from cover to

leather covers that a 10 day stop over
is allowed in El PasO and there is rea-
son to believe that this will be gener-
ally taken advantage Of by many of the
tourists who visit the coast next year.
