 A substantial purse could be biven for this event. The road could be suitably policed and travel could pc kept off the road during the time oi the race. By starting the cars at cer- | tain entervals, any chance for an ac- l cident would be lessened to marked degree. Drivers knowing the road would naturally take precautfon where it is necessary, while on the Hat m Lonesome valley the best that car has could be given without much | chance for an accident. A live com mittee should be appointed with mer from both sides of the mountain ano the chamber of commerce should gel together with the northern Arizona state fair association and arrange foI this event-Journal Miner.
