THROUGH SUN AND SAND.
Fifteen or Twenty Bicyclists Ex- pected to Enter the Long Dis
 tance Race.

Messrs. w. s. Wright and P. B. Yates, of Nogales (runnlng express mes senger, between that place and Benson) are arranging for long distance bicycle race between Nogsles and Tucson. They have inaugursted a correspondence with wheelmen in various parts of the territory, and have an assurance that two riders from Prescott will partici- pate, two or more from Phoenix, half a dozen from Tucson, a couple from Will COX, themselves from Nogsles, and they anticipated several entries from Ben- son.
 They hope to arrange details solthe race will take place some time in latter part of June-the 18th or 30th. The course is about seyenty-two miles in length, and to be over the regular stage road between the two towns, via Gala basas, Tubac, Junction, Sopori and Browns. The contestants are to go as they please, starting at any hour they wish between 3:30 a. m. and 10:30 8. m., on the date set, all leaving given point m Nogales, where the starting time of each will be recorded by a competent committee, and on arrival at Tucson all reporting at given place (probably Gar diner < Worthen's offioe) where an- other committee will record the arriv- ing time of each rider. Comparison of the records will give the actual time of each rider on the road and determine the winner.
 The number of contestants, their wide dist rihution thrOup hOut the territory
 the known speed of several over long
 distances, and the local pride involved
 will cause the proposed race to receive
 much attention in all parts of Ari zona.-Benson Oasis.

EsOP DOwN TO DATE.

The American Economist is out with a cartoon representing Cleveland as a psck-ass, carrying the image "F'ree Trade" Around it are prostrate wor- shippers inscribed Free Traders" The fable is as follows:
 An ass once carried through the streets of the city famous wooden image, to be placed in one of the tenn ples. The crowd as he passed along made lowly prostration before the image. The ass, thinking that they bowed thelr heads in token of respect for him, bris- tied up with pride a2d gave him5elf airs. and refused to move another step. The driver, seeing bIm thus stop, laid his whip lustily about his shoulders and said: 70 you perverse dull-head! it Is not yet come to this, that men pay wor ship to an ass."
 They are not wise wh9 take to t5em- selves the credit due to other.

FAST DRILLING.

At the Midwinter exposition, day or two ago, some California miners did very fast drilling. The contests were as follows:
 E. F. Durham, of Grass valley, in his fifteen minutes drilled a hole, single handed, 19 3l-32 deep and won the first prize of S2O0. T. J. Ahearn of Grass valley made a record of 19 1-16 inches, winning the second prize of $50. The best record previously made in single hand drilling was at Denver. Colo, in 1891, when D. l..

BOWIETO GLOBE.
Progress on the New Road Very
 Lively.
Solomonville by July 1.-Two Miles Week at Grading-The Yards
 at Bowie Completed.
Graham County Bulletin.

The editor of the Bulletin accompani- ed J. E. Shankland to the railroad camp last Sunday (the 13th). Mir. Shank land has the contract to supply the camp with beef and went out to make delivery. The camp is now directly opp posite Bsiley's Wells, about three-qusr- ters of a mile west, where the line runs. The work is now being carried on more rapidly that ever before since It began, about seventy-five men being employed.
 The superintendent is J. H. Campbell, a man of large experience in railroad building and the finished work is as true as die. MT. Campbell has been working for MT. Garland for several years and hopes to continue until this road IS completed to Globe. He is a pleasant gentleman and made the writ CTS visit an agreeable one by his court- eous attention.
 The foreman and walking bosses are employed, they being Harry O'Neill, Wm. D. (Spud) Murphy and MT. Brodrich. Willie O'Donnell has charge of the commisssry department and Frank Rankin is corral boss, looking after the care of the horses.
 At present there are twenty-four scrapers at work and two or three blows handled by sixty-three horses. The teams are all first-class-a finer lot of horses we venture were never brought together in Arizona.
 It is expected the force will complete two miles this week and the camp will probably be moved today or tomorrow five miles this way, which will put it very near the big windmill on the Jen- nings & Greening ranch. Superinten- dent Cambell said the work next week should be light and he expected to con- plete four miles. This would bring them within about ten miles fo Solo knoxville with the grade by June 1st. Barring any misfortune the grade will be completed to this place by July 1st.
 MT. Garland, the president of the company, came out from Bowie to the camp Sunday. He said track laying would begin in earnest this week.
 Most of the track in the yards at Bowie was completed last week. There were at Bowie last Sunday one hundred car loads of material and three more train loads at Deming ready to come as soon as room could be made for it. The engine and track-laying machine was expected Tuesday at Bowie. Mir. Gar land says the track layers will overtake the grading force at Solomonville.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE

LONDON, May 25.--The debate in the house of commons on the budget bill which was expected in some quarters to prove the downfall of Lord Roseberry's ministry, was opened thls afternoon with gun fired by Sir John Lubbeock, Liberal Unionist, who moved that the budget committee be empowered to di- vide the budget bill into two parts and embody provisions respecting the sinking fund in a different manner. Goshen and several minor Oonserya- tlves supported the motion, after which a division was taken with the result that it was rejected by vote of 161 to l2I. The announcement of the govern ments victory was greeted with pro- longed Liberal cheers. Later other conservative instructions to the budget committee ruled out of or der and the house went into committee of the whole, amid renewed Liberal cheering.

The idea is based on the fact that tsn years ago Los Angeles had B population of25,OO0 while San Francisco had 250,000 inhabitants. Now Los Angeles has 100000 and San Francisco has 350,O00. At the same rate of pro- gress during the next ten years, the population of Los Angeles and its i'm mediate vicinity will reach 100000, figure much less improbable now than an increase from 25,000 to 100000 seem- ed ten years ago

Hay cutting is being done through out the Santa Cruz valley. The crop is heavy and satisfactory prices are prom ised. Tucson has yet to purchase a great deal Of the hay consumed here. This should be otherwise a'ith the big underground flow of the Santa Cruz, the fertile land unoccupied in the valley and the prices reslized. Maish & Driscoll are now cutting hay on t t1eir new Canca lands, and will realize prices. pay Ing very well for the acreage.

A ROAD experiment of some import ance will be made in Ohio. The leglsla- ture has authorized Geauga county to borrow s1OO,OOO to lay steel tracks to be used by wagons as we'll as cars. The tracks will be at the service of any person paying suitable toll. 4 similar track will be laid between Ganfield and Youngstown in a neighboring county, the town of Garfield having been granted authority to issue bonds for s25,OOO for the purpose. The theory is that these tracks will be more service able than macadamized roads. Their most striking feature, however, is use in common by the public. This may lead the way to changes in ordinary tran sportation of DO little consequence.

l In the double team drilling contests
 Sam Harvey and John Kitto of Amador
 unk a hole 30 21-32 inches deep and
 won the first prize of 52O0. The second
 prize vent to P. Feeny and Jerry Lynch of Cyprus valley for hole 2 5-32
 inches deep. The third team in the 1 drilling contest, composed of J. J. Coan
 and J. Jefford, drilled a hole l7 inches | deep in their fifteen minutes, and, of l course, failed to win prize.
 I In the triple team contests three teams were entered, but that composed
 of B. Jordan, Con Kennedy and A. c. Woods, of Grass valley, backed out of
 the contest after working fsw minutes
 together, owing to the fact that they
 had not been used to drilling in com pany b fore. The teams who drilled
 the tull fifteen minutes were as follows:
 One composed of Harv y, Kltto and
 Dingle, all of Amador county, drilled a
 hole forty inches deep, entirely through
 the block of Rocklin granite on which they were at work, and had couple Q: inches start on a second hole in the same block before thei- fifteen minutes were up. This team won the first prize of S30O. The other triple team consist ed of J. Lynch. T. Feeney and J. Fee ney. all of Grass valley, who drilled the full fifteen minutes, but did not quite get through the forty riches of rock. They won the second priZe, however, 5150. The prizes were paid to the win |, ners before they l fJ the scene of the contests. The best official record for 1ouble-hand drilling in contests of thls kind was made at Denver in 1891, when he mark of % 15-16 inches was made, 50 the record made by Harvey and Kit O yesterday was the best ever made in .n official, contest. At Denver, how sver, after the official contests We're over special prize was offered. and Ahearn md Rinkar of Leadville won the prize with Q record Of 3l GIG inches, winch is he only record ever made better than hat made yesterday.

History of his Departure from Ari Eona-Likely to be Caught and

William B. Dowdle of Graham county has not turned up to deny that he is the Dowdle connected with the Visalia stage robbery, last Saturday.
 The Visalia correspondent of the Ex- aminer did some telegraphing about him, a good deal of which is in error. It is as follows:
 up to seventeen years ago ,Dowdle lived in this city, his father being a well-Bnown cattle-raiser, and highly respected by old-timers. MT. Dowdle and his family moved to Tucson, where they have resided ever since. His son, Henry, is county recorder of Pima

county, and a daughter married R Roberts. Madeira, Cal, banker. In January last William Dowdle, Keen CTS chum, arrived here under the name of H. Kirkland. but he was rec ognized by several of his old-time friends He said he got into trouble in Arizona and desired to hide his identity, and for that reason he used an assumed name. It is now known that he had robbed stage, and that there was a reward of $500 offered for his capture. He remained around town for several weeks, aud seemed to have plenty of money, mostly in greenbacks, which he took great pleasure in showing. He gsmbled and generally lost. While there he was the constant companion of John Keener Keener's relatives sd- vised him to hav- nothing to do with Dowdle as he would surely get into trouble, but he did not heed their ad- vice. Dowdle secured a wood-cutting contract and kept hard at work for some time"
 The fact Of the matter is that Dowdle belongs in Graham county. He left there some time ego, and IS not suspect ed of robbing any stages. He sold his farm iD Graham and vamOsed owing some bills. That accounts for the money he had with him. The farm brought something over 5000.
 Parties in Tucson we'll acquainted with Dowdle are positive he is the man wanted up iu California. Photographs of him were sent from here to secure his identification.
 Dowdle is not acquainted with the topography of the country he is in, and his acquaintances here believe his capture certain. Should he be caught it is not likely he will get much financial aid or sympathy from his Arizona rela- tives, if they think him guilty.
 His wife is in Visalia, with an uncle.
 Keener IS believed to be the man in jail here for charged with wrecking the Columbia mining company's pipe line years ago.

THE artists of San Francisco agree with the gymnssts thereof that Sandow's is anything but perfect figure. The figure furnishes a great display of muscle, but nothing else, and the muscle is of no practical use. Sandow could not box, nor fence, nor swim, nor ride, nor play ball, nor run, no do days labor as we'll as smaller, lighter, less heavily muscled man. He is of no use to any one or himself except as show. Sandow is not a perfect man, but a freak.
