 Interesting Side Trips for Visit ors to California. Typical Western Celebration will take place at Pres colt, Arizona, in July and Motorists may also see the Relies of the Cliff Dwellers in Walnut Canon.
 Many eastern tourists who cross the continent this summer will be in terested in seeing one of the most typical of Western celebrations Frontier Days at Prescott, Arizona. The events will take place on July 3-4-5 and nearly $6,OOO in prizes money and medals-will be divided among the best riders. At least thirty of the most daring riders of the northern ranges have already signified their intentions of contest ing for the championship and doubt less many others will come in at the last moment. To those who have never seen "bucking broncs" or out laws" outside of a wild-west show. a novel experience full of thrills is promised.
 These frontier celebrations are held at Prescott each year. Settlers from all over the Southwest flock to the little mile-high city by hun dreds and thousands and each year sees more Eastern spectators as they become better informed about the at fractions of the West.
 An interesting side trip for motor ists is the road into Walnut Canyon known as the prehistoric home of the mysterious cliff-dwelling nations. Even the Indians with their store houses or legendary lore are silent as to the history of this great un- known nation. That at some stage of world history this section was peopled by civilized race is believ cd by practically all. But who, when and how they lived, is left to the speculation of the individual. What they called themselves is as much a i conjecture as who they were and prob ably no better identification could be applied than the title originated by inc Indians-the Lost Others

Over thirty of the sixty l Frontier Days boxes have already i been taken and it behooves those de siring to secure one to get in line now, as it is believed all of them will be taken before the end of the week.
