Ever sineo The 1 Tribune party of motorists made their ' famous drive to the Grand canyon last ', year local motor car owners who heard i of the wondrous beauty of Che north rim of the Grand canvon and the Kai- bab forest have requested tne automo-I automo-I bile department of The Tribune to or-! or-! Hnize another party for a trip this ! vcar. After corresponding with J. L.

The commercial bodies of Junction. Panev.itch and Kanab have promi.-cd to repair ail the bad spots and roil out the roads in their respective sections. sec-tions. This should make the going comparatively com-paratively easv. - : j,r.
