OVER 10000 VISIT
GRAND CANYON IN
YEAR JUST CLOSED

While the steam railroad continues
TO be the favorite conveyance for long
distance travellers touring the Far
West. lots of travellers chauffeur there
by auto, regardless of tire troubles and
longer time required. The Grand Can
Hon of Arizona was Visite in 1915 by
1888 persons. OF this number 1922
came by rail on the Santa Fe and 5,129
by auto, for the most part stopping off
en- route to or from California.
Thirtys six states were on the auto
list, as checked up at FL ToVar garage,
and four foreign countries. One auto
party travelled all the way from China,
another from England, a third from
Hawaii, and fourth from Mexico. The
outer fringes of Uncle Sans domain
were represented by Vermont, Louis
lana, Minnesota and Oregon.
The mascots or pets carried by these
enthusiasts of the open road COM
prised nearly the whole menagerie-
dogs, cats, hens, monkeys, parrots,
rabbits, ROSTERS and squirrels. Ford
machines were in the majority, but
there were plenty of highest priced
cars, too.
Many were fitted up for every pos
slbie contingency, day or night, rain or
shine. They were ingenious travelling
homes for the whole Blank family, in
Guiding Fido.
Tine Grand Canyon is open by rail all
the year. Auto travel mainly is con-
fined to the period from March to Mo-
Vember Arizona is noted for its excel.
lent highways-the roads in the GRAND
Canyon region are especially good.
