of the executive committee; Doc
Pardee, who is helping with all his
might and main on the program
end OF the big doings. and Secre-
tary Fraser.
While the plans of the finance
department Of the Frontier day
celebration are still dark secret
with Mr.. Heap, who has been gum
shooting around for the past week
it is not too early to prophecy that
the $4,000 will undoubtedly be gath
cred in and banked long before the
gun is fired for the first contest
While Attorney-General Billiard
was in Prescott recently he pledged
to Secretary Fraser the largest
crowd from Phoenix by automobile
which has ever headed north and
he further said that the cars from
the Salt River valley and other
southland centers will stay in Pres
colt with their loads during the
whole course of the celebration,
which will extend over four days.
Already, due to the great success
arI onooJ ,,,aparar,a1t of tba IOI Z
Frontier day celebration, Phoenix IS
planning for the Prescott tour, as is
evident from the following excerpt
from yesterdays Republican"
Two of the greatest motor stunts
ever pulled off are these two. the
second annual run to Prescott for
Frontier day. July 1856. and the
proposed Arizona-California tour to
the two expositions during the sum-
mer of 1915.
at was announced yesterday from
automobile headquarters that DR..
F. II. Redewill. who promoted the
last years successful Canyon run
and who has long been identified
with motor sports in Arizona. would
again lead the tour to the Mile
High City.
"On his return from Los An
geles. Saturday, DR.. Redewill will
start at once to prepare for the
biggest intra-state motor run that
has ever been pulled off, the tour
that will take hundreds of people
through vacationland. the Northern
Mountains of Arizona.
"A long campaign of registration
must be conducted. The 1914 tour
to Prescott will be managed in such
manner as to leave little for the
individual motorist. The extensive
organization of the Automobile Club
will be turned loose on the prob
lem. Committees will make all ar
engagements long in advance so that
It will be as simple as rolling about
the valley on a short trip, to make
it to the Yavapai metropolis. All
manner of things will be arranged
for the north. The south is going
to demonstrate the fact that it is
strong for Arizona vacations. There
will be a horde of motorists in the
visit to- the pleasant. cool spots in
the high hills and the crowd will
increase year by year"
Among the prizes to be awarded
at the end of the contest will be
two as large in money as those
given for the top events in Cal
gary. Pendleton and Cheyenne and
Doc Pardee is already writing to
prominent riders. bull-doggers and
other contestants of his acquaint-
ance all over the West.
ChaiFman Haworth and Doc Par
dee have 4 dozen vicious bucking
horses in view and it is probable
that they will import carload of
proved horseflesh OF the 'serviceable
kind for Frontier day sports in time
for the animals to become accli-
mated before the big contest.
1t is proposed to construct
enough additional seating aceommo-
dations to care for at least 1000
more spectators. and the number
OF boxes constructed last year will
be doubled.
1t is quite likely that the Santa
Fe passenger traffic department in
Los Angeles will widely advertise
Prescott's Frontier day throughout
Southern California.
The problem of housing and feed
ing the visiting thousands will be
one of the early cares OF the North
ern Arizona Fair Association, I'M
der whose auspices this years From
tier day celebration will be carried
out.
At tonight's meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce. members of the
executive committee will outline
