THE TEXAS PACIFIC II. r.
From the New York SUM

The South, with Frustrated industries
and recently rayished by pestilence, calls
loudly for aid to secure some share of the
transcontinental traffic. A benefit to South
ern trade means benefit to all, and equity
would seem to demand a patient hearing
for the claims Of that portion of the
country, provided they are brought forward
under appropriate and reasonable condi-
tons. And while we hold to the opinion
that no government subsidy, even in the
form of loan oithe public credit, ought
to be granted, we have no objections to tell
ing our Southern friends what are the nee
essary limitations within which alone their
application might properly be listened to
and considered
|. If there is to be any loan of govern
ment credit, it must be vigorously restricted
to the trunk line from Fort Worth to the
Pacific. No branches whatever can be in
Guided.
II. One-forth of the construction and
equipment must be paid blythe company out
OF Its own actual capital.
III. The real cost of work must be as
certained by officers OF the Uuiied States
engineer corps, appointed for that purpose,
and the government aid must be confined to
three-quarters Of that cost.
" The government must hold first
mortgage on the road and plant
V. All the public lands granted must re-
vert to the government control, so as to be
sold to actual settlers.
VI, All earnings for government trans
portation must be retained in the treasury
We think that bill carefully drawn
and containing these features, and really
presented in behalf of the Southern people
and as an antidote to Jay Gould's monop-
oily, would be entitled to respectful consid-
Grafton; and in Difference to large public
sentiment it should be Thoroughly debated.
If defeated on its merits, a troublesome
question will be removed from congress,
and then our fellow citizens of the South
cannot complain that they have been re-
fused hearing.

An AntidOte for Flies.

Now, with the heat of Summer and
the recurrence of "fly time" it is
important to know how to get rid of
the pests that do so torment human
ity, if that be possible, or to abate
the nuisance if it can be abated
Upon this theme, which is local,
general, and at this season, all-per-
vading, we quote the following from
a letter written by lady-and il
may be added, her testimony is
worthy of acceptance in the matter OF
a trial which is entirely practicable
at the same time assuring a pretty
feature in household decoration:
"For three years." writes the lady
81 have lived ia town, and during
that time my sitting-room has beer
free from flies, three or four only
walking abou: my breakfast table
while all my neighbors' rooms were
crowded. l often congratulated my
self on my escape, but never knew
the reason of it until a few days ago
| then had occasion to move my
goods to another house, while | re-
manned few days longer. Among
other things moved were two boxes
of geraniums and calcoolaris, which
stood in my windows, being always
open to their full extent, top and bot
tom. The boxes were not gone hall
an hour, when my room was as full
of flies as those around me. This
to me, is a new discovery. and per
haps it may serve to encourage 9th
ers in that which is always source
of pleasure, namely, window gar
dening. Mignonnette, planted in long
shallow boxes, placed on the window
sill, will be found excellent for this
purpose"

The PEDESTRIAN CONTEST.
A NEW YORKER WINS THE
BELT AND FIRST MONEY.
The Winners of the Other Purses
The ScOre-The Victor to be
Challenged at an Early Day.

The six days walking match, at
the Mechanics Pavilion, which has
attracted so much attention in San
Francisco, was brought to close
last Thursday evening, at IL o'clock,
Frank G. Edward, winning the dia-
mond belt, 81 900, and barrel of
whisky; Mcintyre getting second
money, $3.50; Bowman, third, $500;
and Callahan, fourth, $3.50. Fol-
lowing is the score: Thompson, $50
miles; Newhoff, 246 miles laps;
Bowman, 357 miles 4 laps; Santos,
Is4 miles; Scott, 3l5 miles, laps;
Kennovan, 2l8 miles, 3 laps; Nc
Intyre, 1854 miles, laps; Cheno.
with, 172 miles; Callahan, 1853 miles /;
Armstrong, 202 miles, 2 laps; Nc
Farlane, 1sS miles, 8 laps; Edwards,
81 miles, laps.
The best time made during the
match was by Newhoff, last Monday
night, when he covered a mile in
$3.50. The contest was a compare
tive failure as an exhibition of Pc
destrianism, as much better time has
been made IN the Eastern States and
elsewhere. In April last, at Gill
more's Garden, New York, in an
amateur race, SIX days, Panchot
made 4S0 miles; Merritt, mere lad,
476 miles, and Krohn, with broken
leg, took the third place, scoring 450
miles. Six weeks after, Guyon
walked 4S0 miles in six days; Krohn,
462; the Big Swede, ASP, and Brodie,
a newsboy, 375 miles. Even the NO.
men, in the six days match, at New
York, made better time. Bertha
Won Berg scored 1913 miles; Belle
Kilbury, 1921, and Miss Wallace,
347-the two last named being anna
tours.
The fact that the winner is New
Yorker adds to the modification of
the San Franciscans. But most of
the contestants have already signi-
fed their intention to challenge him
at an early day, so that there is still
a prospect of retaining the belt on
this coast. A match will doubtless
soon be arranged, and the pedestri-
ans, made wiser by their recent ex-
perience, will go into thorough train
ing and get into condition to make
a better record.

IN THE SUTRO TUNNEL.
The High Temperature Greatly Re-
tarding Observation-Disclosures
Apparatus Being Put In.

The temperature of the Sutro Tun-
mel Is so high that operations there
in are greatly retarded. In the south
lateral drift but one shift of four
men are working. These work in
ten. minute reliefs, al the end OF
which they retire to the drift con-
Meeting with the Hale & Norcross
incline, where the temperature is
cooler by about fifteen degrees. In
the north lateral drift the tempera-
ture is not so elevated, and three
shifts of six men each, and one
boss work there. When they be.
come overheated they retire to the
Combination drift to cool off. In
that drift the temperature is only of
about 80 degrees. In the main tun-
mel the temperature is of ITO de-
grees.
The connection with the Savage
mine is being enlarged, in order to
obtain greater supply of fresh
air. The temperature at this point
Is over 100 degrees. For some days
past the men working there have
enjoyed the use of the cooling sta
ton at the 1600-level Of the Savage;
this could be reached by ascend
ing the pump shaft for about sixty
feet above the tunnel level. But
they no longer enjoy that privi-
lego, and are now compelled TO
seek their own drifts to cool off. A
blower is being put in place at
Shaft No. 2, and pipes connecting
with the headings of the drifts are
being laid. This work will be
finished in week or ten days, and
the air in the drift will be cooler
by some ten degrees. 1t being i'm
possible to use machine drills at
psesent, all the boring is done by
hand drills,
