Prescott GiUen
Much Publicity

After the getaway in the morn
ing. the people of Prescott were
able to note the progress OF the race
by watching the Journal-Miner bull
letin board. Within a few minutes
after the leaders passed Skull Val
lev, the time was bulletined and
at Kirkland. Hillside. Congress juno
ton, Wickenburg, Hot Springs juno
ton, Aarinette, Peoria, Glendale,
the position of the speed artists at
those points was teiephoned to Pres
colt.
Special arrangements had been
made by District Manager Buehler
of the telephone company to Sc
cure this information and he imme-
diately transmitted it to the Journal
Miner and it is due TO his courtesy
that not only was Prescott ad-
vised quickly as to the progress OF
the drivers but also thousands OF
interested people i'll Los Angeles.
The Evening Herald which issued
number OF extras" on the ract
was served with its news by the
Journal Miner and so perfect was
the telephone and telegraph service
that the Herald was able to give
the news from 10 to Is minutes
sooner than rival papers which were
served by Phoenix correspondents.
There was 4 wire direct from Pres
colt into the Herald Office and Man
ager Tucker OF the Western Union
personally transmitted the messages
without a seconds delay. The
Herald had its own representative
in Phoenix, but so superior was the
service from Prescott that the pa
per wired at $50 p. m. the fol-
lowing:
You are slinning the town and
beating the Phoenix man. Flash us
final results also as you will prob
ably beat Phoenix on that"
After the race had been deter
mined, the Herald wired the Jour
nal-AIiner as follows:
I'VE cleaned the town. Many
thanks to you"
The principal satisfaction derived
in scoring this beat comes in the
f,.+ .t,,t D-aeca+. eao.-oe a.. -,
mense amount OF free advertising,
as all of the dispatches that were
published in the Herald extras"
bore a Prescott date line instead
OF Phoenix, and the Journal-Miner
Is pleased that it was able to Sc
cure the publicity for this city,
through the hearty cooperation Of
Messrs. Buehler and Tucker.

BORDER CITIES IN

(FrOm w edneSdayS Daily)
]. R. Williams. a business man OF
Douglas, arrived in Prescott yester-
day and will be here day or two
He said that there was comment
bordering on excitement in Douglas
with reference to conditions incl
dent to the passage OF the prohibit
ton amendment. To quote him as
nearly as possible, he said:
The city of Douglas is not in
the best of financial condition.
There is a large Indebtedness, and
everything had been arranged to
pay it off under existing conditions.
Unpaid warrants marked mot paid
for want of funds" were lately be-

charged the city interest. But ar
rangements had been made for spe-

have pulled through all right but
for the unexpected arrival OF

all the saloon licenses. Mayor {.

be a citizen OF Prescott, recently

DEFECTS FOUND IN
ELECTION STATUTE

PHOENIX, Nov. 11.-That there
is apparently no provision in the
election law for the certiication by
the county boards OF supervisors Of
the vote on state officials, nor for
a state canvassing board TO deter
mine who is elected and to certify
to the results has been discovered
by Bertram L. Hitch. clerk OF the
Pima county board. 1t is possible
that a court contest will result.
The failure to provide for can
vassing board and for certiication
must be charged against the legis-
lature and it was made during the
certihcation OF the statutes at the
last session.
There was such provision in the
election law OF 1912 which was de-
signed for the election in the fall OF
that year. but most OF this law was
declared by the supreme court to be
invalid. The only part that re-
mains in force is that relating to the
certifcation of the vote on presiden-
tial electors and representatives in
congress.
Under the 1912 law. the governor,
the secretary of state and the chief
Justice were constituted board OF
canvass. The supreme court respect
fully declined on behalf OF the chief
justice in its opinion declaring the
law invalid.
The law OF 1912 specifically re-
pealed all laws that went before.
The board of supervisors will meet
on November 10 to canvass the re
turns.
Section 2 OF the prohibition
amendment provides that the legis-
laturc shall by appropriate legisla-
ton provide for the carrying into
effect of the amendment. but this
is regarded by lawyers as a safety
clause. since the amendment will go
into effect upon proclamation by
The governor.
Should any board of supervisors
decline to certify the returns on
state officials and the amendments
to the secretary OF state they might
be mandamused and the matter
would come up before the supreme
court. which might find a way
around the difficulty.
Hitch wrote to Secretary OF State
Osborn at the time OF the primary
asking about the certification of the
results Mr.. Osborn replied, Send
them along" and they went.
Section Is, Article w OF the con
stitution provides for the canvass OF
votes on initiative and referendum
measures by the secretary OF state,
in the presence OF the governor and
the chief justice, after which the
governor shall issue his proclama-
ton.

ENTERTAINMENT is
GRAND AT SPRINGS
(From Wednesdays Daily.l

+. NJ. Murphy has not yet re-
turned from Castle Hot Springs,
where the Arizona Bankers Asso-
citation held a session the latter part
OF last week. Those who attended
the function from Prescott returned
prolific in their praises OF the man
ner in which they were treated by
Mr.. Murphy and his employees at
the springs. Among other things
an elaborate banquet was served,
and many addresses made by Ari-
iona and California bankers who
were present. The baths at the
springs were free for al visiting
guests during the convention and
they much enjoyed this diversion
in connection with the many others
evidences OF hospitality which were
extended.
At the opening OF the convention
Mr. Murphy made an address OF
welcome which was equivalent to
practically turning over the keys to
every department OF that beautiful
and noted resort to the guests. He
had previously arranged for profess
sional musicians and entertainers,
who came from Phoenix, and at the
banquet they gave an entertainment
OF metropolitan dimensions. after
which the guests danced to their
hearts content to the music which
the entertainers furnished The golf
links and tennis courts were also
turned over to the bankers and their
wives. and the weather was ideal
for sport of this character.
1t is impossible for words to ade-
quately describe the beauties OF Cas-
tie Hot Springs. 1t is a Havapai
county resort, owned and controlled
by Mr.. f. NJ. Murphy. OF this city,
and has long been noted for its
beauty and grandeur. 1t is one OF
those beauty spots set in the noun
tains by the hand OF the Master
Artist, Nature, where everything
that pleases the eye abounds in pro
fusion. There are orange and palm
groves. and other tropical plants
are also found in abundance about
the grounds. 1t seems strange to
the visitor at this time OF year to
find such a Garden of Eden i'll the
heart OF the mountains, after an auto
ride OF about forty miles. mostly
over a strip OF country resembling
a desert. but such is the sight which
greets all who go to the springs,
veritablc tropic growth appearing on
every hand. The water OF the
springs proper flows out OF what
appears to be solid rock. There
are three pools, the first being OF
a temperature at this time OF year
OF 12O degrees. The second finds
the water a little cooler, being about
ia degrees. while in the third the
water is lukewarm. These waters
contain healing mineral properties
of such character that the springs
are noted all over the country, and
becoming more so every year.
There were seventy-one bankers
and bankers wives present at the
convention. and if all OF those from
other places were as well pleased
with the meeting and greeting, and
the beauty OF the springs. as were
those from Prescott this Iavapai
county resort will be much talked
about for some time to come in
every place represented.

Barney Oldfeld was the winner OF
the Los Angeles PRESCOTT Phoenix
auto race, finishing the entire dis
lance to the scratch in Phoenix in
the time given above, with Nikrent
second. Beaudt third and Bramlete
fourth. the other three cars named
finishing in the order given in the
table.
Oldfeld will draw down as his
share OF the money in addition to
the medal, $500, Nikrent $500.
Beaudt $1,000 and Bramlete $500.
According TO reports from Phoe-
nix the finish was one OF the most
exciting events ever known at the
state fair grounds, and last night
the drivers who finished were
brought before the crowds at the
Phoenix Elks' theatre and intro
duced one at a time.
The last lap OF the race was made
over the worst roads OF any other
portion OF the trip, owing to the
rain which fell between Prescott and
Phoenix Tuesday night. When the
cars pulled out OF Prescott little
was it thought that either Beaudt
or, Bramlete would be in the money.
Davis left here with high hopes,
although he had no gasoline tank
on his car, it being necessary for
the nlechahician to supply the ma
chine from a can of oil which he
carried in his lap. And when be-
tween Niekenburg and Hot Springs
the car went practically out of COM
mission, and did not finish the race.
While winning by a small margin,
Old6eld was third to reach Phoenix
Nikrent and Bramlete both having
crossed the scratch when he came
whizzing into sight. Nikrent got
the lead out OF Prescott in the
morning, Oldfeld second and Davis
third The second car to reach the
fair grounds, the Cadillac, was the
seventh to reach Prescott Tuesday,
its time here being 4:24l9. 1t was
a remarkable fact, however, and so
stated by other drivers, that it was
in the. best condition OF any car in
the race at this point, and it kept
in good condition all the balance OF
the race. Oldheld left Prescott with
a badly twisted back axle, and II
is stated that this prevented him
from making the speed on the last
lap that he had expected to make,
being all the time afraid that the
axle would put him out OF the run
ming. it is probable that the time
the seven cars made over the last
l35 miles is the best ever made
over muddy roads, local auto men
declaring it was really the most re-
markable feature OF the whole race.
The roads when the start was made
here were as slippery as water
could make them, and as the cars
proceeded the mud thickened in the
sunshine until it became stiff and
very mucky as the finale was ap-
preached.
