It Is therefore of di- rect interest to the business men of the district as we'll as to every other city and town on the route. The build ing of good roads along the route is progressing rapidly and is largely talk ing care of itself. but the signing of the road the furnishing of maps and logs to tourists, the El Paso to phoe- nix race next November. and the ad- vertising that will thereby result the matter of general publicity work and the permanent maintenance of the as- sooiation will an be under discussion.
 Speaking of the meeting Secretary Gray stated that it was originallv planned to hold a session here early last spring but that such plan was abandoned for various reasons until now. In the meantime the sanction Tor the road race from El Paso Co Phoenix has, been obtained for Novem- Der and 9, to finish in Phoenix the first day of the fair, and R. II. Rine- hart of El Paso has made other pre-
