 HUGE SUCCESS
For Those Who Can't Drive Plank Road Across the Desert. New Road Has Been Logged for 4-HOuT Drive. Yuma to Fl Ccntro
Especial to The Republican1


 YUMA. June 12.-Touring through here is increasing by leaps and bounds About thirty per cent of the cars passing through are from east of the Mississippi river. showing the tremendous drawing power of the ex- positions on the coast, and the liberal response by those who live in the far east.
 One of the most potent factors in this increase of travel is the comple- tion of the bridge and the planked road over the worst of the sand be- tween here and the Imperial Valley. The Mammoth wash and sand hill roads are not being used at all now. For those who cannot drive on the blanks, d route is now being used through Niland-and it is proving very satisfactory-only a very short stretch being in the sand, where a change of gears is unavoidable.
 A log of the Niland route to Fl Centro-a four-hour journey at or dinary touring speed. has been made up by Riley's garage.
