Inspection of (he entire route from EI l'aso to Phoenix by auto race officials only serves (o confirm (he prediction that all speed records between the two cities will be smashed In the November desert classic slatting from El Paso. An official liuptrUon trip, started Sun- lay morning, September 28, and completed Thursday night, October 2, showed (list (he general condition of l1" roads through southern New Mexico and southern Arizona Is from 10 to to per cent belter than it was In either of the previous races, by the lima Iho racers pass over tho ground the roads will be In even better condition, as the stale and county authorities of Arizona havo promised to rrpair those stretches of road now In need of it beforo the day of the race. Tho racers will make 05 to 70 miles an hour between El Patu and (ho Ilorderland Inn, where (hey (urn Into tho Dcming road. From there (o Dcming and on lo Lords burg they will probably average 35 miles or belter. The lime from Lordsburg lo Ilodeo will bo cul down by bad road conditions near llodeo and from that point west to Douglas the road is slow. State Engineer Tain Maddox has promised to repair that section of the road, anil crews aro already at work on ilv so that 35 miles or better should be averaged from Rodeo (o Douglas. From Douglas to Ulsbee, whero the cars slop ror the night, the road is in splendid shape, and the racers probably will do 00 miles hour. Leaving illslwe, tho racers should do 65 or CO miles an hour until they pass Fairbanks on the Empire ranch road. There the road Is bumpy and slow and for about in or Is miles is badly washed out. In (he Santa lllta mountains the road is good, but the sharp turns will rut down speed. The last 45 miles inlo Tuscou will likely lie done in 45 minutes or better. West of Tuscon the road Is in good sitape except for a milo or two Just nut of (own, which will bo fixed. After (hat an average of better than 45 or 60 miles should be attained until oIkhiI X miles out of Florence, when cross ditches and waihouls will cut down the lime. The tinw from Florence to Phoenix is broh lematical, as the road Is now in poor condition, but State Engineer Maddock lias promised to repair It. Oklahoma Governor 0.
