HE planking of the desert sands
between Yuma and Holtville has
Il removed the last terror from a
trip between FL Paso and Los Angeles,
according to a. J. Eddy, proprietor Of
the Yuma Gas Engine and Auto COM
panv, in Yuma, writing to R. H. Rine
hart. He encloses some data on the
new road and asserts that 1t is no longer
any trouble to 90 from Yuma TO san
Diego, and saws the scenery Is magnltl-
cent. This Is confirmed by Myrtil Cob
lentz. of FL PasO, who has recently made
the trip.
Both admit that there Is some road
that Is not exactly like a boulevard be-
tween Phoenix and Yuma, particularly
on the horseshoe curve cut from the
ella river TO Castle Dome and back
again, but this curve is to be eliminated
and the road viii run straight down
the ella to within a few miles of Yuma
when the bridge now IN course OF con-
struction over the ella at Wellton Is
completed. Motorists viii then cross
to the south bank of the ella and con-
tinue into Yuma by a straight westerly
course along this river. Now an auto
mOoilist going west out OF Phoenix
along the north bank of the ella, leaves
the river at Aqua Cahente and makes
a horseshoe bend out through the Castle
Dome mountains to the northwest, then
hack to Yuma, crossing the ella on a
ferry near the junction with the Colo
RADIO at Yuma. The ab1tments of the
bridge now under way near WelltOn
were recently damaged by high water
and this viii delay its completion for
some time.
Some Fast Tine
Mr. Eddy writes Mr. Rinehart that a
stripped car recently made the run from
Yuma to Imperial by way of Holtville
over the new planked road. total Of Sc
miles, in two hours and 20 minutes.
This planked road Is sure a winner
he saws, "and a great many are leaving
Yuma early in the morning and driving
to San Diego the same day. Several
cars have made It from here in ten
hours and some In less time Il Is not
uncommon now for cars to make the run
from Phoenix to Yuma in a dav. al
though most people make two DAYS of
1t and stop at Aqua Caliente for the
night. This stretch OF road Is now
better than it viii be later in the dry
season. when the roads are worn down
mOre.l
The distance from Yuma to e Cen
trO over the present route VIII be short
cned about nine miles when the highway
Is built. The plank road through the
sand hills Is the only new road used and
the roads from here to the hills are more
or less round about; also from the sand
hills TO Holtville several miles will be
saved in distance over the present route,

New Borderland Log.
Mr. Rinehart is writing the club TO
inform the secretary that the new log
book of the B0rderland route from il
Paso to San Diego and Los Angeles has
lust been completed and that it viii
soon be on distribution IN Ell Faso. This
work was done by Harry Locke, an ex-
pert in this line, and advance copies re-
ceived here this week show it TO be up
to the high standard Of Mr. LOcke's
work in publishing the Arizona Good
Roads log book a couple OF years ago.
Mr.. Rinehart has had under c0nsidera-
ton with Mr.. Locke the matter OF pub
fishing a log of the Southern National
highway from here to Dallas and of the
Borderland from here TO Hutchinson,
Kan, and this viii probably be done
during the summer, but the next work
that Mr.. Locke is to take up Is the
publication OF a log Of the Canine Real
from FL PasO to Denver. He VIII be

in a few days. en- route to Denver to
take up the work.
Praises Borderland-
Writing relative TO the work he has
lust done in logging the Borderlaud, Mr..
Locke saws that he found the road in
fine shape and that the recently COM
pleted plank road over. the deep sands
between Yuma and HOltville, Calf,
makes the route much shorter and
easier. 1t entirely avoids the old terror,
the Mammoth Wash. Mr.. Locke SAYS
the roads across northern New Mexico
and Arizona BY way Of Needles, Calf,
are still impossible and that the route
through Springerville from Albuquerque
is also bad, and suggests that If El Paso
would only realize its great advantage
in being on the Borderland oute-~the
all the year open route" as he calls it
this city would spend lot of money
it IN the east.
Motorists are daily arriving in los
Angeles GUESSING the Old Trails route,
the Lincoln highway and Others, when If
they had been originally routed over the
Borderland they would have smiled all
the way he asserts. I've have q won
lerful gift from nature down here on
this borderland country and fail to APP
lreciate it."

HISTORIC LIBERTY BELL
IN FULTON COUNTY.

The visit of the great historic
relic, the Liberty Bell, to Fulton
last Saturday was one of the most
and self-satisfying incl-
dents of a public nature that has
occurred in Fulton for a long
while. 1t drew one of the largest
crowds ever assembled in Fulton.
1t was not only an immense crowd
but an orderly, good natured, well
behaved one and composed large
~ of school children, who were
welcome and desirable visitors.
The crowd was estimated at
from 600 to 5000 and even more
by people who have good
knowledge of making estimates.
Several llickmanites were among
the number.

After breakfast Kitty said she
would like to do some shopping and
we went downtown We stopped at
the bOokshop. Mary was having a
sale of hurt" books and the shop
was full of people.
1t was the first time that Kitty had
seen Mary and she thought she was
one of the prettiest of women.
The plain gray uniform" that
Mary has adopted for the store, with
its wide, turnover collar and cuffs, is
extremely becoming.
Mary told me she had heard moth
ing from Jack. l was sorry l asked
about him when 1 saw the change
come over her face.
Kitty, with her usual curiosity, had
gone roaming about the shop. Over
in ''the little ROOM" that portion set
aside for the old books and those who
cared to examine them at their leis-
ure she found Max PendletOn.
81 did not know him until he spoke
to me-" she told me afterwards. Il
have not seen him since ne wore
short trousers. He is the son of those
enormously rich Pendletons, who
made their money in the brewery
business.
Evidently Max does not intend to
follow in his fathers footsteps, be-
cause he told me he had begun col
Iecting what he intended should be
the finest library in the west.
HE said: Mrs. WaVerly is the only
woman l have ever known who has
any idea of old books. She has taught
me lot. Through her have made
connection with some of the best con-
noisseUrs in the country"

him. Before he could do it he died,
leaving this lad of barely Fl millions
and millions of money. The old gen.
tleman was hardly cold in his grave
when the son sold his three brewer
les to the trust and publicly made the
announcement that he had no apti-
tude nor inclination for business. This
brought a herd of sharpers down on
him, but the young man, whom they
expected to find an easy mark, was
too sharp for them. He landed three
bogus book statesmen in Jail and had
two policemen arrested. and proven
guilty of conspiracy with his chat
feur in aTresting him many times for
exceeding the speed limit. The story
formed the middle spread of one OF
the big Sunday supplements about
three months ago. Mary has sold
him number of fine books and made
some splendid commissions on a
number of rare editions she has
found for him. Dick thought it a
great stroke of business"
do you know, Alargie, that he is
in love with Mary"
Kitty, don't be foolish. Every
man is not in love with every women
he sees. Mary is 26 and this boy is
barely 81"
THAT makes it a cinch. A boy of
that kind always falls in love with a
woman older than he when he falls in
love the first time. I could see it was
Mrs. Waverly more than the old
books that was keeping him in that
shop day after day. He told me limo
Gently that he always spent his morn
ings here, as Mrs. WaVerly generally
has some news of new purchases to
tell me and advices to give me az to
whether l should buy them or not. .

allowed small bond, which he could

Townsend, one of the negroes en-
ployed about the local wholesale fish
houses, did not heed the signs which
are posted at many points about the
wharf relative to taking fish from the
docks without permission. 1t devel-
oped that complaint had been made
against him by one in authority on
the fish wharf, and it was developed
also at the trial that when Townsend
was stopped at the head of the wharf,
the package which he carried was
said to have contained twenty-five
pounds Of fish. He was Immediately
turned over to officers, as an example
