motorists making a trip to north
ern Arizona this summer will find
the most beautiful journey in the
world between Prescott and Flag

State Engineer Cobb's office.
Goodman's district comprises the
five northern counties, with head
quarters in Prescott. He IS a Wis

Goodman gave out an interview
concerning the road which will
prove of benefit to those contem-
plating a trip north.
From Prescott to the top of the

Stoneman lake route the m 0torist
is in the big pire forest by the
time he gets to Stoneman lake, and
in the cedar timber country from

The route includes Camp Verde,
Beaver Creek, Montezuma Well and
Soda Springs. A side trip of 1916
miles may be taken to Jerome after
reaching point one mile below
Pau Spring, which is twelve miles
northwest OF Camp Verde.

NOW HAS TWENTY EIGHT
YEARS OVER HEAD
(From SUNDAYS Daily.l


Burt McMahan. self-convicted for
ger will be taken to Florence early
this week to start serving a SEN
tence of from one to fourteen years,
imposed by Judge Frank o. Smith.
Under the parole system in vogue
in Arizona, however, McMahan may
either serve one year or twenty
eight years
About two years ago, McMahan
was sent to Florence with SEN
tence OF from one to fifteen years
hanging over him. His behavior
was good during his first twelve
months in the pen and as result
he was paroled.
Recently he was arrested in
Phoenix and returned to Prescott
charged with having forged two
checks for total of $3.50. He
pleaded not guilty when arraigned
but later changed his plea. Instead
of returning McMahan to the pen
for having broken his parole, the
officers decided to tack on another
sentence for good measure McMa-
han pays his second visit to the
institution therefore with a total
of twenty-eight years hanging over
his head.

ENTRIES COMING IN FAST
FOR THE BIG RACE
(From Sundays Daily.l

With Phoenix insuring three, en-
tries, Prescott four more. Kingman
another and several likely sources
still to be heard from, there is ev-
cry reason to believe that when the
starter sends away the twelve or
more machines on their ninety-mile
grind twice around tine outer loop,
one of the most spectacular and
sensational auto races ever seen in
the southwest will be in evidence.
Word has been received from DR..
Francis Redewil of Phoenix that
the Salt River valley will positively
be represented by minimum fig
ure of three machines. There is a
possibility that this number may be
jumped to five.
Every effort is being made to
induce a number OF drivers from
Los Angeles to come. The shelv-
ing OF the Los Angeles Prescott
endurance race has practically elm
mated every possibility of the big
guns in racing circles, congregating
here on the Fourth. But the auto
boosters are determined to make
the best of the situation.

LOCAL RACE TEST
OF NERVE AND SKILL
(From Snnnav,s nailvl

The surveyor has completed his
work on the. outer course loop for
the Frontier celebration auto race
and the report has been submit
ted to the Triple A" with a view
OF receiving a sanction for the
event. A favorable reply is ex-
pected within the next two weeks
in order to allow for time in which
to license the drivers who will com
pete.
There are many courses from
the Atlantic to the Pacific touted
as being dangerous but it is NIGH
ty safe to declare that of the most
dangerous, the local course is the
worst. A trip around the loop. a
survey of the different sharp curves
the steep entertainments and the
steep grades at points will convince
the most skeptical that the race
will not be one featured by speed.
but rather by skill and the quick
ness of the eye.
The race will test the nerve Of
each driver 1t will not be the
speedy car but the heady driver
that will win the race. When the
machines whizz by the grandstand
on the first lap after covering for
ty-four miles around the loop. the
spectator will be possessed of the
knowledge that some struggle was
encountered on the way around.
The race will be like one of those
features depicted i'll a show or
drama where the real big doings"
occur off the stage and are pre-
scented only to the imagination of
the audience.
No exact date has as yet been
set. but it is conceded as very
probable that the date will be set
for Monday. July 6.

/ GUARD AGAINST
FOREST FIRES
(From Sundays Daily

(From Sundays Daily
Forest fires are in their element
at this time of the year when the
greatest danger is encountered by
reason of the existence of the dry
season. For that reason, the For
est Supervisors in their efforts to
advance every precaution for safety
have issued the following rules:
l. Be sure your match is out be-
fore you throw it away.
2. Knock out your pipe ashes or
throw your cigar or cigarette stump
where there is nothing to catch
fire.
3. Don't build a camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary.
Never leave it even for a short time
without putting it out with water
or earth.
a. Don't build a camp fire
against a tree or log. Build a
small one where you can scrape
away the needles, or grass from
all sides of it.
5. Don't build bonhres. The
wind may come up at any time and
start fire you cannot control.
6. II you discover fire, put it
out if possible; if you can't. get
word of it to the nearest u. s.
Forest Ranger just as quickly as
you possibly can.

From docile disposition, and a
pleasing personality, o. F. El;roth
has suddenly been transformed in
to a maniac. in the county jail of
this city. He is being held for trial
before the federal court on the
grave charge of selling opium.
Ekroth admitted the crime some
time ago, and in his preliminary
examination freely informed the Of
fcers of his connection with traf-
ticking in the business. Weeks of
confinement have at last affected
his mental faculties, and for the
past five days his Authorizations
have become pronounced, requiring
the attendance of a physician. Elk
roth says he is under a hypnotic
influence and specifics certain indi-
viduals, who are alleged to be con-
trolling his affairs. He is also

disordered brain are conveyed on
paper.
Since it was learned that this
young druggist was affected, close
friends in this city state he was
addicted to Authorizations along the
same lines several months ago,
when he mentioned an occurrence
on the desert in being driven from
a very rich gold mine under orders
from the spiritual world. Under
the strain of his crime, and ap-
preciating the fact that he probab-
ly faces long term in the federal
prison, there has been a recurrence
of his mental troubles, which if not
alleviated it is said will be OF seri-
