 The automobile dealers and cthel I business men believe that the eel l ebration of See Arizona First anS l Automobile week will go a .ong dis

 this season and that this will als'

Nothing the coast has to of fer can compare with the riagnifi | cence of the Grand Canyon of Ari zona. Nothing will so rest the min and body as a few days spent 1T viewing the wonders of that beautifu region.
 There are dozens of other wonderfr spots in Arizona which have beer seen by comparatively few people the Terrified Forest, Painted Deser White Mountains, Roosevelt Lake. tn Tonuto Basin, old Spanish Missions Cliff Dwellings, ancient Indian ruin etc.
