WANT To ENTER
SAN DIEGO RACE
Drivers Are Inquiring; Such
a Race Will Advertise
Route to Tourists.

After holding a conference with the
board of managers Of the San Diego
exposition regarding the proposed Ell
Paso-San Diego road race, Edward
Wilson, manager Of the Maxwell rae
ing team, wired the Maxwell Auto
company of this city that present in
dicatiOns are very favorable for the
derby being run off during the middle
of March. Mr.. Wilson said that he
believed the pOstpOning of the race
from December to March was an eX-
cellent idea, as it will give the speed
kings more time to prepare for the
event.
Mr.. Wilson in his wire said that
he will leave California within few
days en- route to the Maxwell factory
to arrange to enter two cars. He will
stop off in Ell PasO TOr two days. The
manager Of the famous Maxwell team
is very enthusiastic over the proposed
race and says much interest is being
taken in the race on the Pacific coast.
All the cities along the Borderland
route from here to California are very
much interested in the race. realizing
that such an event run during the
early spring would prove a great ad-
vertising medium in bringing tourists
to this city en- route to California to
attend the fair.
An exceptionally large number OF
tourists are passing through FL PasO

sary and therefore foolish.
at reminds me Of an incident that
happened on one of the early Glidden
tours. We were gliding along over
ing a perfect score in our pocket as
it were, when we met horse and
buruv. The old horse was mOOchlng
along. seeming not to have worry IN
fbe world OF course there was an
automobile occupying part OF the
road IN front Of him, but that did not
seem to bother him either He had met
the tarnation things before and had al
yyavg managed to find room to pass
them alright, so he was not concerned.
Unnecessary Aid.
Everything would have gone Wen,
and we would have passed him as we
had passed many others on the way,
but for the fool notion the driver got
into his head that he ought to en-
courage the horse. He assumed that
the horse was going to get frightened,
SO he began nervously TO draw in the
reins and to caution the horse to whoa
bOyi Whoa boy! Steady now! Steady.
AT that the morse pTlcheu up ms
ears, began to look nerVOussly around
and wonder what was the matter
He had seen the automobile ahead
and did not suppose there was any
necessity for warning him OF its ap-
preach. He expected to pass it alright
But he had come to learn that when
the driver was nervous, there was ike
" something to get nervous about so
he assumed that there was something
different about that particular auto
mobile OF ours.
Toe Much "Cheer" Disastrous.
AT that he went into the air, stand
ing on his hind feet and paving with
his front ones-finally lost his balance,
went over sideways, broke the shaft
and turned the wagon across the ROAD.
AS we did not anticipate anything OF
the kind from the quiet demeanor OK
the horse a moment previously, we did
not have time to stop and consequently
IN order to pass him we had to run
down into the ditch and up again.
Now it seems to me there has been
much premature warning against ner-
vousness on the part of business Bust-
ness is not nervous. Ninety percent Of
the business men talk with see moth

OVER $500 MILES OF
HIGHWAY MARKED

over $500 miles of the route of the
Lincoln highway, or more than rs per-
cent of the entire distance from the At
lantic to the Pacific. has been marked
with the official red, white and blue
marker of the Lincoln Highway asso-
citation. A large proportion of the
transcontinental road has undergone
radical Improvement during the past
year. according to the bulletin just
issued by the association. This bulle-
tin is dated Sept. II, 1914, which is the
first anniversary of the Lincoln way.
According to the summary of the years
work, the chief accomplishment has
been in arOusing the people and local
governments to enthusiasm for the
project, although there has been very
material progress made in actual con-
structive work on the highway itself.

DETACHAB[ERIM
THEGREAT BOON
Long Delays From Blowouts
No Longer Hold Up
Owners on Road.

A group Of motorists was assembled
discussing the question Of durability,
the proper size of tires for cars Of vari-
Gus weights and kindred topics, when
one of the ationalists caused
some real thinking by his remark, that
he did not consider the tire any more
important than the ck-detachable,
demountable rim.
THE pneumatic tire receives credit
for making the automobile a success"
he said, but for giving convenience
and pleasure to the man who drives
his own car, I think the new rims help
the most. All Of US remember the old
days when a puncture meant long de-
lay and a serious blowout frequently
would stop the tour and necessitate a
tramp to the nearest garage for re-
pairs
There is. perhaps, no phase Of the
automobile industry which was so slow
in evolution as the rim Tt is one Of the
few features of motoring refinement
which were sadly neglected for years.
It is only recently that a tire change on
the road has been looked on as any
thing less than a calamity. Now we all
carry our spare tires mounted on the
rim and it requires less than five min
utes TO make a change and be on the
way

PUBLIC LANDS
BEING SETTLED
Twenty Million Acres Entered
Under Secretary Lanes Ad-
ministration.

As in answer to the impression
which seems to exist that all the
public lands of any value have lorg
ago been taken up, Secretary Lane,
in an advance statement from his an
nual report, calls attea N to the
fact that since March 4, l913,settlers
have made entry on nearly 20, ,OOO,- :
900 acres of public landS-an area
equal to that Of Connecticut, Mass
achusetts, New Hampshire and
New Jersey combined. During the
same period practically as much
more coal and other mineral land OF
the West has been examined in de-
tail in 4O-acre tracts by the Ceolog-
icaI Survey, and most of it has been
thrown open to settlement or pur-
chase. Some Of these lands' sncF
as those which include workable de-
posts of phosphate or oil, are still
withdrawn pending suitable leglsla'
ton for their disposal or use.Anothe
important activity in public-lan'
classification to which the Secretary
calls attention IS the designation 0
lands for entry as enlarged o
! 800 acre homesteads. Designa
