"DICK THE ROVER"

Arrives In the City From Michigan.
Covered by dust from their long
drive from Manistee, Michigan, the
little caravan drove up in sfront of the
S. z. Office on San Antonio street, and
the line driver dismounted and drawing
a long sigh, said with much relief,
81 am glad that much is over.'
Soon a crowd collected around the
man and he gladly told his story:
II am making tour of the United
States in my wagon drawn by the best
pair OF burros that ever crossed q sand
plain. l started out from .Manistee,
Michigan, and made the trip here to
El Paso in one hundred and fifty days.
l am known as Dick the Rover and
have travelled thousands of miles in my
wagon. 1 have been q rover all my life
and when 1 have completed my trip
am going to enjoy myself and sell my
outfit for exhibition purposes"
II had quite an exciting trip here
and [ encountered some pretty tough
old roads. My wagon turned over nine
times and broke four pairs of springs.
During the last sixty days of my trip l
had splendid weather, but the roads
could not have been worse. However,
l made good time on the trip and one
day made as high as 81 miles, and
I've got pair of burros here that I'll
back against any two in the country.
For long, hard drive they are the on
ly animals to use.''
81 will remain here few days and
then continue my journey east through
the Southern States and land up at
W8shin QtOn."

this concession for the purpose of
hawking it around or looking for capi-
tai to build the road after the conces-
sion had been granted. l succeeded in
forming the syndicate first and then
applied for the concession. We are
building this road purely as business
venture. We believe the resources of
that country even as they are already
developed, will support q railroad now,
and the building of this line will open
up many properties that cannot now
be worked with profit"
Mr.. Bailey declined to name his as
sociates, but they are all substantial
men.
The fact that the building of this
line is contemplated will prove q great
surprise as no publicity whatever was
given to the matter. It will be mat
ter of great interest to miners and pros
pectors in the States of chihuahua and
Sonora as 1t will traverse q section of
the Sierra Madre which is rich in
mineral but which has always been
considered inaccessible to the poor
man on account of lack of trausporta-
tion, and many rich properties lie un-
developed on account the difficulty of
getting machinery to them and the
costly journey to chihuahua, which
has been the nearest shipping point
for those who could not treat the ore
on the ground.

For City .Offlces Being Concluded
Today.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 1O.-The
city campaign which has been hotly
contested for the last six weeks is
over, and the election of a mayor, po-
lice Judge. city clerk and members OF
the city council is being held to-
day.
For the mayoralty the democrats
have re-nominated Mayor Thomas
Taggart, while the republicans have
nominated Charles Bookwalter. Both
men are politicians and little else than
politics has entered into the campaign.
The citizens feel that the election OF
either will insure a business-like ad-
ministrasion, while it is believed that
the chances are equal for the enforce
ment of the law against saloons.
The republican opposition to Mayor
Taggsrt, however, is Intensified by
the fact that his election for a third
term will be considered equivalent to
making him the logical democratic
nominee for governor next term.

New York Unable To Raise
The Wind Since DeWey's
Blowout.
NO RACE TO-DAY
Knowing The Cup Is In
Danger, Old Boreas
Refuses To Do
Business.

NEW YORK, Oct 1O.-At 1929 q. N.
HIGHLANDS, N. Y, Oct. 10.-At e:55
g.. .m.-Prospects for a race this morn
ing are almost nil. A thick fog hangs
over the shore and ocean, with the
blow less than three miles an hour, and
shows no signs of increasing It's force.
So dense is the fog at this point that
the sun Ia totally obscured. These con-
ditions of wind and weather, if'continu-
ed, will make it impossible even'to start
the race today.
Beach men who came down to the
shore this morning, cast a look sea-
ward, shifted at the wind and turned
to their cabins with q disgusted "Again
no race" A curious fate seems to face
the cup races this year. Last week on
race days old Boreas refused to do bus
iness to any extent. He waited just
enough of breeze to show the Ameri-
cans what a mighty good boat the
Shamrock was and how much danger
there was in Sir Thomas Upton fulfill
ing his boast that he was here to lift
that cup. But before race could be
finished Boress began to call in his
breezes as if loath to see the cup leave
the shores where 1t had been SO long.
Today's weather caps the climax.
It is common during the thawing days
of March. but for early fall it is ex-
ceptional. One cannot see two hun
dred feet away and the close presence
of the ocean is only known by the dull
rumble of the surf.
The regatta committee have until
1870 p. m. to wait for the weather to
clear up. If conditions are not fav-
orable for the race by that time a
postponement will be announced till
Thursday.

NEW RAILROAD
Project On Foot To Run One From
Deming, New Mexico, To the
Ydqui Country, OF Sonora.

OEe of the most important railroad
concessions granted in late years was
that secured yesterday by Mr.. A. o.
Bailey, of Columbus, New Mexico,
says the Mexican Herald.
AS result, within the next thirty
days, work will begin on an extensive
line of road, extending from Dsming,
New Mexico TO Agiavampo, Sinaloa on
the Pacific coast.
This will be tremendous project,
crossing, as it will, the Sierra Madre
mountains, and extending for some
distance through the YaQui cOun-
try.
Mr.. Bailey was seen by a Mexican
reporter but refused to go into details
concerning the route to be selected
by the projectors of this line. on the
grounds that theS engineers report
on part of the route had not yet been
com pleted. This project has been in
contemplation for a long time. but no
steps toward securing a concession
were taken until a syndicate had been
formed and sufficient amount of
capital guaranteed to build the road.
The syndicate formed by Mr.. Bailey is
composed of New York and London
millioneires and there will be no de-
lay whatever in pushing the road to
completion as the management only
awaited the E-"autin G of the conces-
sion to commence operations.
Work will be commenced in about sc
days. said Mr.. Bailey land the building
of the road will commence from Dem
ing, N. NJ. 1t will cross the border at
Columbus, N. M, making a distance
of 35 miles to be built in the United
States.The road will then pass through b
part of tie state of chihuahua and will
touch Guerrero, the mining camp, and
will here connect with the chihuahua
and Pacific road now In course of con-
struction. On the way to Agisvampo
it will pass through the Jesus Maria
mining country"
"Where will 1t cross the Sierra
Madre, Mr.. Bailey?''
81 cannot say as to that" he replied.
"The road will eventually be extended
to Topolobampo, but for the present we
will build only to Agiabampo."
"Do you receive any subvention?"
asked the reporter.
