SAFETY FIRST DEPOT
SUGGESTED BY CITIZENS

The special committee appointed by
acting Mayor Slipher to go over the
possible sites for a new depot made a
personal survey along the right Of way
of the Santa Fe Saturday. The site
most favored was that in the center
of the block on Railroad avenue be-
tween San Francisco and Leroux
streets. This location might block
both San Francisco and Beaver street
crossings for five or ten minutes while
passenger trains were at the station,
but it was pointed out that the city
authorities had long permitted block
ing San Francisco street by passenger
trains without objection and would
very probably permit the blocking of
both for five or ten minutes by pas
senger trains if the station was built
on this location. Another location
which seemed available was on the
site of the freight house, which blocks
Agassiz street completely. There ap-
pears to be sufficient space at this
point if switch tracks were moved
south, and the freight depot moved
to some other point.
1t was very evident that general
sentiment as well as that of the COM
mittee was against permanent
abandonment of either San Francisco
or Beaver street crossings, as they
constitute the only crossings afford
ing communication from the north to
the south side of the city. Instead

ROTARY ADMITS FOUR NEW CANNONBALL BAKER SAYS
MEMBERS, THEN LISTENS THE FLAGST -WINSLOW
TO TALKS ON BUSINESS ROAD COMPARES WELL

E. G. ("Cannonball'') Baker went
through Flagstaff Monday afternoon
on his 64th transcontinental motor
trip. He was driving a st. Louis
made Gardner four sedan, was six and
a half days out of New York and ex-
pected to get into Los Angeles Tues
day afternoon.
Baker was accompanied by Mr.. Van
Horn, an Indianapolis newspaper
man. They stopped to get gas and
oil from Lee Carron and something to
eat from Joe Bender, then hit for the
west.
Baker said they had pavement all
the way from New York to st. Louis,
but crossing Missouri in the half
frozen mud they wore out six COM
plete sets of chains. The road from
Winslow here, he said, is boulevard
compared to what they hit in Mis-
souri. Baker also says he would
much rather drive over roads like the
one between Flagstaff and Kingman
than over pavement.
The meals on the trip were invar-
iably steak, potatoes, bread and cof-
fee-no pie, cake or salads. Van Horn
said Baker stopped every hundred or
so miles in a long days run, an
nounced that he was going to sleep
five, ten or fifteen minutes, as the
case might be, leaned his head on the
steering wheel and went to it. He
always walked at exactly the time he
set for himself.
While Baker won't beat his own
record on this trip, and wasn't trying
to, he says it up to the time he reach
ed here had been the fastest time he'd
ever made across the continent at
this time of year.
Last fall when he went west
through here he was driving an Olds-
mobile.
