BORDERLAND RACE ID
 BE A $ DAYS DASH

The 1915 Phoenix road race will be a five day desert dash for a S20. 900 purse, is the plans of enthusiastic Los Angeles automobile men and sports. men carry through. says the Los An geles Times. IL is the intention of the desert race voteries to combine the Los Angels to Phoenix and the Fl Paso to Phoenix.
 II is claimed that 5000 can be nix and another s5OOO between the Arizona capital and Fl Paso.
 The proposed route is over the Ma tional Old Trails route, or the Santa Fe Grand Canyon Needles National highway to Ashfork Junction. then south through Prescott to Phoenix and over the Borderland route through Tucson. Tombstone, Bisbee. Douglas, LoTdsburg and Deming to Fl Paso, Texas
 This proposed course would measure approximately 1900 miles. The dis :ance from Los Angeles to Phoenix over the northern route is 61l miles and it is practically 525 miles from Phoenix to Fl Paso over the Border land route This would be the loug- esc automobile race ever held and would come under the head of a semi transcontinental event.
 However, it is problematic as to this being popular, as San Diego and Yuma are on the Borderland Route and if a race is to be run it must he all Border land or none The Borderland towns will stand by San Diego, Fl Centro. and Yuma.

 Wages, maintaI4ed before the wa broke out on the E Irop an continent will be had again and until. further ad- yances m the red metal according to the schedule. warrant the payment of higher wages. This again places the Warran District producers as the payees of the highest wages, for the same work. in the country.
 Such an increase, with the continued increase in working forces of the three big companies will soon bring the Disuict's pay roll up to the point fl last summer before ,he curtailmrnt of operations.
 The action, on the part of the pro- ducers. will increase business in every line both in Bisbee and Lowell as we'll as DOuPlas. ia fact ihe movement will, undoubtiy. mean full return of confidence into local and general southwestern business conditions.
