NEW FEATURES
 FUR FRIDAYS
 RAGING EVEN I

Two additional features have been added to the motor racing program at the Arizona state fair grounds Feb ruary P by Promoter Ed. A. ThiI- enius. The new attractions are a one mile bicycle race and an automobile jumping exhibition.
 MT. Thilenius has promised in his advertising a real surprise for the afternoons program and last night he made known the character of this surprise. It is to be the automobile jumping.
 Now, automobile jumping might be perfectly safe and sane sport" says he, but so far as we are concerned, wed much prefer to take on an en- tire regiment of German infantrymen. This is with no intention to cast any reflections upon the sanity of the man who is to make the jump
 It is Mir. Thilenius idea that the public is hungry for thrills, so he has made his plans accordingly. From appearances, there will be so many thrills that spectators will have cold chils running up and down their back for many days thereafter.
 Work will be started this morning in the construction of leaping board for the automobile jump. A special contrivance must be made for this event. The man who will make the jump has stated that he will cover at least 25 feet before landing. He didn't say, however, whether or not he'd land right side up or up side right
 Then when spectators begin to lose sight of this feature several motor- cycle riders will hurl themselves through the air. This event is to be known as the motorcycle jumping contest and six entries are already assured.
 Don Johns. champion motorcycle rider has decided to enter the event. Harold Price, a Phoenix boy, recently established a new worlds record for this event and brought MT. Johns from retirement and he has stated that he will make a leap of at least 100 feet.
 | In anticipation of a real argument as to motorcycle jumping supremacy & special machine is nearing con- pletion in this city. It will be used | by MT. Price on the afternoon oi February 22.
 The bicycle race was scheduled when foot motorists clamored for ar opportunity to show the motor fan. some real speed" Consequently, { | one-mile race was arranged. Si, entries for this event have already 1 been received.
 At this stage of the game, inter est seemed to be lacking, so a dele gation of motorcycle fans beseiged MT Thilenius at his stronghold at the Jefferson hotel.
 Many of the riders were desirous of conducting Q 5-mile race. Others favored a long engagement. A com promise was finally agreed upon and so there will be one big motorcycle race of ten miles. Among the ent- rants will be Don Johns, former meIn- Der of the Indian team, Harry Gran dall and several others from Phoenia and the Salt River valley. Just tC show that he was a real sport ont Phoenix rider wired to San Diego for d specially constructed speed motorcycle. to be used in this race The machine is now en route to thi! | city,

Sidewalk Question Up

A movement has been started among the property owners along the streets to be paved, to have the city council change it's ruling as to widening the sidewalks as proposed in the plan re- garding the paving. The council de- cided that owing to the 100-foot width of the streets it would be advisable to widen the sidewalks to 20 feet They now are Is feet in width. Property owners figuring on this have found that with the curbing to DC removed and other necessary changes, the expense would be considerably greater than to leave the roadway at it's present width, hence the desire for a reconsideration of the matter.

Class IA by Request

George Allison. one of the proprietors of the Mesa Daily Tribune, a youns> man with wife and child, has received his card chasing him as IA and has passed the physical examination at Phoenix. Asked as to why he was placed in this class, when he had every right to claim dependency of family, Allison modestly replied that with the paper and his salary the family would get along, and he did not want to claim exemption. A casual look at the firm jaw and fighting chin of the young newspaper man is sufficient assurance that he will be there with the goods whenever Uncle Sam calls for men. The remaining member of the firm, Judge George Irwin, who fondled the "krag" in the Philippines during the Spanish American war, is bewailing his age. which is somewhat above the enlistment limit.
