lnsersoll on California.

In a recent magazine article, Mr.. Ern-
est Ingersoll. the noted writer, says;
The climate of Southern California In
winter closely resembles that Of Egypt.
The equability is constant and the dry
ness is proverbial. The only complaint
made is that it is too nearly perfect.
Residents bred in the eastern states con-
fess now and then that rousing storm
would give them q grateful sensation,
but this meets with NO favor from the
man who has just fed from superfluity
of wetness and chilling gales. To him
perpetual summer seems . perpetual par
adise, and to the invalid. dreadiDg the
advance of disease, the still and arid at
mosphere is rs the breath Of life" The
most comfortable way to reach the Paci.
fic coast is via Santa Fe Route. Weekly

The long talked of foot race of one
hundred yards, between Grin Hard, of
this city, and Grant Travis. of Antho-
ny, came off Tuesday evening in the
Santa Fc yards. Travis was backed
and trained by Hart Hanlan, of Stafford,
and Hard by S. Gallagher and other
home parties. A number of the home
sports wagered their money on Travis.
$500 were the stakes, and the side bets
run the amount up to $500 or $500. Tom
French, Billy Irwin and j. Weber were
the judges. The men got away after
scoring once with Travis four or five
feet in the lead. and he held this advan-
tage for 60 yards, when Hard began rap
idly closing the gap. At the outcome
spectators could not tell who mad won
and great excitement prevailed. Irwin
announced tie, Weber claimed two
feet for Travis, and French also decided
for the latter. Vigorous objections
were raised by Hard's hackers, the
grounds being that Weber, one of the
judges had money bet on the race, and
further thet he had moved the string
forward as Travis neared the scratch.
Wrangling ensued for the next hour
when finally the judges got together
again and called the race q draw, all
bets being declared of. There is some
talk of making another match, but moth
definite has resulted as yet.
Travis Dodge hackers are sore be-
cause the judges changed the decision
after it was once given. and they claim
they had no right to 60 on any but their
own judgment.

The news that there will be Touring
mill erected in Dodge this season will
be received with qualification by farm
ers all over the county. C. N. Beeson
has been in correspondence with two
gentlemen in Nebraska some time re-
garding the matter and last week Mr.. c.
H. Gund, of Wilbur, Nebraska arrived
in the city for the purpose of looking ov-
er the county, and after mature deliber-
alton decided to erect mill of 100 lbs.
capacity daily. with elevator attach
ment. The site selected is Immediately
south of where the old mill stood, and a
twenty years lease on the grounds has
been obtained. The machinery will be
the latest improved and the plant will be
the best in Western Kansas, costing
about se5, 900. Mr.. E. Ballard, of Will
bur, is associated with Mr.. Gund IN the
enterprise. The gentlemen are in the
milling and banking business in Wilbur,
and have ample means to carry out the
project. No bonus will be asked of the
city, but we understand that some of our
home men will be interested in it. Mr..
Ballard and Mr.. Beeson are old school
mates, and it was chiefly through the
influence of the latter that the enter
prise was located here. Dodge City and
Ford county are to be congratulated on
securing this new industry. Let u
show our appreciation of the confidence
these gen ntlemen have shown in this
county. by aiding and encouraging them
in their work.

Personal Note BY Editor.

We have Travelled few miles in our
lifetime and know what it is to be un-
comfortably housed in q poorly uphol-
stored Car, and rudely tossed up and down
on old iron rails that are laid on dirt
road-bed. We have been there; but it
was always on other roads than the San
Ia Fe. Their main line between Chica-
go and Denver is hard to beat. The rails
are of heavy steel, the track smooth and
rock balasted. and the through Canon
ball' train that flies at q 6fty-miles- an
hour speed over this elegant roadway is
as pretty bit of workmanship as Messrs
Pullman ever turned out. Each vcsti-
bule sleeper is model of luxury, and as
easy a. cradle. Chair cars, library cars
and day coaches are all carefully adapt
ed to the travellers every want. The
Santa Fe is rightly named ''the most
line.
