AUTO PROPOSED
Rinehart Suggests Trips to
West Texas Towns; Urges
the Logging of Roads.

A trade trip by auto to FL Paso's ter
ritory in west Texas was proposed by
Robert Rinehart at a meeting Of the
board of directors of the chamber Of
commerce, held Tuesday afternoon at
the City National bank The sugges-
tiOn came up in connection with
proposition for logging the roads
around FL Paso and it will probably be
taken up later by the chamber Of com
merce. Mr.. Rinehart suggested that
the towns of Sierra Blanca, Pecos, Al
pine. Fort Stockton, Valentine and
Maria be visited on the trip. FL PasO
merchants had long overlooked this rich
territory. he said, and the people OF
western Texas were more than anxious
TO enter into closer trade relations with
this city J. H Pollard and H. B.
Stevens had already agreed to make the
FL Paso Not Getting Traffic.
Mr.. Rinehart declared that a large
amount of the auto traffic to the coast
never got within hailing distance Of
FL PasC for the reason that the roads
were not properly logged south Of Al
buqueruue and that a mOtorist would
keep to poorer roads rather than take
the risk Of getting lost on uucharterec
roads. He proposed that the chamber
Of commerce aid in securing a log OF
the unloCged roads near the city, which
he and Harry Locke have been making
for some months The proposition VIII
be acted unon probably tonight, when
members Of The auto club VIII rnee-
with directors Of the chamber OF COM
