WHERE DOES THE MERIT LIEF

The long anticipated and anxiousl,
awaited for long distance bicycle race
from Nogsles to Tucson has been run
and the winner comes from Maricops
county. The Tucson riders had a series
of accidents, interfering materially with
their chances OF success Whether they
would have been winners under the
most favorable circumstances, will al
ways be a matter of speculation, but 1t
is certain they would have made bet
ter showing in the finale of the race on
Stone avenue.
Phoenix money was on Brown to WIN,
and funny accident, occurring through
Mr.. johnson losing the road at Woods
old station and going up the Sopori
country several miles came near making
it necessary for Mr.. Wilson of Phoenix
to come in fret. At the time OF reach
ing Woods station il is said johnson
was ia the lead, but mistook the road
and went up past Juan Elias place IN
the Sopori district. Naturally Wilson
supposed johnson was ahead of him on
the right road and it was no time to
wait to allow Mr.. Brown to win.
IL johnson was to be overtaken, Mr..
Wilson must do it. So he set TO with
will to oyertake johnson who he sup
posed was ahead of him and left Brown
of Phoenix, (the favorite In the betting),
far in the rear, where be held him until
within six miles OF Tucson. At this
point two gentlemen took the time OF
Wilson, Brown and Salter. Wilson was
over three minutes ahead of
Brown, who lead Salter by four minutes
Wilson at this time was riding to over
take Johnson and sat his wheel upright
and glided along as gracefully as though
the rider was out for five mile spin.
Brown was lsboring heavily and his
wheel, from a rear view, presented a |
swaying to and fro that bespoke fatigue |
and hard journey. Salter appeared in
better form. At four miles from Tue
son a gentleman who had gone out for
the purpose, caught the time, and found |
W Wilson was increasing his lead, having a |
clear lead of over four minutes, almost
snough time to land Mr.. Wilson on
Stone avenue winner. Here the race
was Won, and those seeing Wilson had
no further concern about the winner of
The race, as IL Brown had been in good
'orm he could not have caught Wilson
with the lead he had, if he had been
'ull fiedged rider. 1t is said that Will
SOD was informed between Silver lake |
and Stone avenue that Johnson was not |
n and that he was first. Then it be-
came necessary TO save the Brown
money and between Silver lake and |
town the magnificent lead OF Wilson's |
was lost, and Brown was allowed to sd-
vance from forlorn hope to first place.
The deal was too apparent to be inter
esting. Browns overtaking Wilson with |
the lead he had four miles from town
was a great deal like hand hose revol- |
ltionizing the falls of Niagara. 1t was
a most marvellous sight and Brown must |
have appreciated it. If he did not graf
itude is lost to the world.

OF small grocery stores, saloons and
butcher shops there is nc end. Great
capital is not required for operations,
hence as above. All the small meat
markets are kept by Mexicsns, the small
groceries by Cinnamon end the small
saloons generally by foreign nationali-
ties. While their proprieters are not
crowding the ranks of the millionaires
they appear to be making a comforta-
BILE living, or at least existing and stand
ing off hard times in their attempt to
make an honest living.

INDIAN CHILDREN SING.
The Cantata at the Opera House q
Success.

1t is little short of marvellous what
Indian children have been taught at the
Indian school in Tucson. Last night at
the opera house they song in the cantata
'Under the Palms" doing really excellen-
tly. Their singing was not only good
for Indians to do, but good singing for
anybody.
A feature was singing by little Indian
girls. The dusky little songsters did as
good as whittier children of their own
age, and delighted their hearers.
The Indians OF southern Arizona,
from such training as the Indian school
here has given, will by another genera
ton or two be really desirable citizens,
and a credit to the country. Certainly
at present they are credit to their
instructor.
Miss Timian sang two solos, as did
Superintendent Billman, they also sang
duets.
The opera house was about filed, and
but for ssndstorm prevailing at about
the time of the opening many more
would have attended.

CARRIER PIGEONS.
To Take Samples from a Mine Across
the Desert-Strong Birds

the Desert-Strong Birds
Mr.. W. Fl. Russell, travelling engineer
of the Southern Pacific company, left
for his home in Los Angeles a night or
two ago.
From Mr.. Russell, in conversation
with a reporter, it was learned
that he is the proud possessor of fine
pair of carrier pigeons which he had
recently purchased at very high figure.
When the price paid for them was told
to the reporter to say the least it
was scarcely believed. But when the
usefulness OF these birds was made
known as we'll as the duties that they
were to perform, it was then thought
that the price paid for them was very
reasonable.
The owner of these valuable birds is
also part owner in a valuable group OF
gold mines in this territory, situated
about eighty miles south of CHA Bend.
This property is now being thoroughly
prospected by the owners, under the
direct supervision of Captain He'll Hale.
When prospecting mines of this kind 1t
Is necessary 20 have many assavs made
de- Tile WOIh progresses Anu bnCSC
mines are located in a remote part or
the territory, away from railroads or
stage lines, the matter of sending sam
pies for assays and the delay In getting
returns is source of great inconveni-
ence. All this difficulty has now been
overcome through the introduction OF
these carrier pigeons, and they are to
be put into service at once. One OF
these birds will be sent to the mines as
soon as the route has been taught them,
and the other will be located at Los
Angeles.
1t is claimed that these birds are cap
able of carrying forty pounds each and
to fly at the rate of 40 miles per hour;
and as they can go for two days with
out food or water there will be no dam
ger of their perishing on the desert for
lack of water. The expense OF estab-
fishing water stations along the route
will not be necessary.
Mr. Russell expects to have these car
riers thoroughly installed in these work
by the first of July.
Mr. Russell feels confident OF success
and states that if they do the work as
they have been recommended to do, that
a large number of them will be put in
to the service of carrying ore from the
mines and supplies for the miners. He
has promised to send the reporter full
account of the result CT his experience
in the new enterprise.

pointment as postmaster of Tombstone,
where he has for the past several years

The base ballists are no longer the
demi-gods Of the country. Some cities
maintain their teams and work up a
little profit by competitive games. Be-
yond this no interest is taken or enthu-
siasm shown. This gives the rising
generation an opportunity to straighten
out their "base ball fingers"..and before
the game again draws flush Of popul-
arity the rules of the game can be
amended as TO permit the ball to be
shot from rifled cannon and
caught by an armor plated machine.

THE bill to admit New Mexico to
statehood was amended IN the house on
motion of Smith, republican member
from Illinois, requiring public schools to
teach the English language. This was
stubbornly contested by democrats
having the bill in charge, but the amend
ment finally prevailed. To the average
mind it is strange than an American
should so pander to foreignisms as TO
oppose such bill

SOUTHERN Arizona beats the world
for good natural roads. Where else
"across country" could cycling record
of seventy five miles be made in a frac-
ton of time over four hours? The
roads are not up to thier usual condition
for the reason that they are badly
worn in places no rain having fallen on
then to settle the dust within the past
six months. When the roads have been
conditioned by the summer rains We
are of the opinion that the time could
be reduced at least half hour in the
run.

IT is claimed that the worlds record
for long distance cycling has been brok-
en- in the fsce made yesterday from No
gales to Tucson. The point is an inter
esting one and should be officially set
tied. But whether the record was low
cred or not a splendid piece of cycling
was done. Seventy-five miles In a little
more than four hours is piece Of work
that will challenge the honest admIra-
tons Of every true sportsman.

LITTLE TRAFFIC.
This Division the Only one Turning
n Wheel,


The divisions out of Tucson have to-
day the distinction of being the only
ones on the Southern Pacific on which
q wheel is turning. And that is not
saying that as many wheels or trains as
usual by great many are moving.
This morning nothing in the way OF
through traffic arrived. A train got in
from the east last night, and brought in
local mails, but no through mail arrived.
A freight went west this morning,
carrying local matter only. 1t will 90
west as far as Yuma.
At Yuma two west-bound passenger
trains are said to be waiting, with the
California crews refusing to move them.
The company is said to be boarding a
hundred passengers at Yuma. At Ell
Paso it is said no trains are waiting. In
Tucson no trains are standing, all bein q
moved on to the striking divisions.

AUDITOR BIER WANN HITS
HARD

The letter which State Auditor Bier
mann addresses to the voters of Mime
sofa through this mornings GLOBE Is
one that will attract their attention, not
only TO the Importance of character in
the selection of those to whom they ill.,
trust their public affairs, but of the at
titude the corporations asSums towards
the state and its officers, and the meth
DDS they adopt to gain advantages over
the state and its interests.
So far as the letter is personal to Mt.
Biermann himself it shows, if his allie
cations are true. what pressure the cor
porations will bring to bear on public
officer TO swerye him from his duty,
and, when this fails, to what methods
they willresort to sweep him out of the
way. III, smarting under the sting of
false asperSions on his character. the
auditor strikes back hard at his accus-
sers, no one will blame him. for he is
but invoking the natural law of self
defense.
Briefly, the facts are these. The state
has granted to Its institutions over $780,
600 acres of land to be selected from the
even numbered sections. The Great
Northern holds grant of some 100000
acres in both the even and odd-num-
bered sections, but the act, OF grant
does not confer the right to make
selection Of the tracts, this devolv-
inc on the auditor as land commissioner.
The land varies in value from nothing
to $40 and $50 per acre, and the privi-
lege of first selection is one whose
value runs into the millions of dollars.
That the company should wish to get
the most valuable land is but natural !;
it meant million of dollars of gain to it.
Mr.. Biermann in insisting that this
right was the states, that the gain
should be the states and not the COM
pany's, was simply doing his duty.
That he was right ia his position there
seems to be no question. Were he not
the company would have been Dromp {
with mandamus to oblige him to GER
tify to Its selections. That it did not IS
an acknowledgment that the auditor
was right. We lay the matter before
the voters of the state for their consid-
Grafton.
