Chicago, H., Aug. 15.-The depart
ure from Chicago today of the govern
ment good roads train marks the in
auguration of a project that is expect
ed TO be of immense benefit TO the en-

Republicans are Becoming Active In
the Hoosier State.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 15.-Al-
though the date set for the formal
opening of the republican campaign in
Indiana is still month distant, Chair

II wise to take time by the forelock.
Consequently it has been decided to
begin the real work of preparation at

and arranging other details for the
campaign. From now until September
20, the date set for the opening of the
contest, the managers will work with
their coats off IN an endeavor to start
the ball rolling with boom and hur-
rah such as have not been seen for a
number of years. The complete list
of speakers is not yet ready but it is
known that besides the Indiana sena-
tors and representatives the speakers
will include Senator Hanna and num-
ber of other prominent republican lead
ers from other states.

UTAH AND ARIZONA.
Great Difficulties Encountered in Sur
veying Dividing Lines.
The FOUR CORNERS.

II. B. Carpenter, of Kenwood, Cal,
civil engineer, who has just completed
a survey of the southern line of Utah.
is in Washington to consult with gov
ernment officials concerning a contract
which he has taken to establish the
southern boundary of Colorado, says
the Washington Post In establishing
the dividing line between Utah and
Arizona, Mr.. Carpenter and his asso-
ciates encountered many hardships,
and located the boundary through a
territory which the Mormon residents
of southern Utah said could not be
travelled by white man.
"A strange thing about the line be-
tween Utah and Arizona is that it does
not cross a foot OF cultivated land"
Mr.. Carpenter said last night at the
Hotel Johnson. And | do not think
that any of the land adjoining the line
can ever be cultivated. There are fer
tile valleys to the north and south of
the boundary. st. George, one of the
best known Mormon towns in south
ern Utah, lies but a few miles north
of the line The boundary trayerses a
desert. which is cut up by great can
yons that are almost impossible. The
length of the line is 277 miles.
Landmarks which we located along
the line will make it possible for ,Ae
boundary to be located without any
difficulty in the future. Just east of
the Colorado river a sandstone butte
rises 1000 feet above the plain, and,
strange enough, the very peak of this
butte is exactly on the boundary. We
named the peak State Line butte. Not
far from the butte is another which
stands 300 feet above the plain and
was named Tower peak. These two
gigantic stones will always be a guide
to persons who want to locate the
state line.
-Four Corners is one of the most in
teresting spots in the United States.
1t is the point where Colorado, Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Utah touch one
another This is the only place in the
United States where this occurs. There
is nothing remarkable about the loca-
tion. 1t is in the midst of a broken
desert, and lies a short distance from
the San Juan river.
Our greatest hindrance in carrying
on work along the Utah line was the
lack of feed for our horses. The coun-
try is a desert and grass is very scarce.
1t is such a long distance to sources of
supply that it is almost impossible to
carry feed for stock. Many OF our
horses and mules died of starvation.
The Colorado river gave us considera-
ne trouble. 1t flows through such
deep, impossible canyons that We got
our stock across it with great Difficult
ty In some places the walls of the
canyons are 5000 feet high. Where
we crossed the canyon it was 1000 feet
deep"

Ell PAS0 TEAM.
Will Have Ball Club at Territorial
Fair.
MAY GET the PITTSBURG CHAMPIONS.

Last evening there was a meeting at
the real estate Office of Miller & Ma.
coffin of those who have subscribed to
the base ball fund.
The object of the meeting was to ar
range for the selection of an executive
committee that Is to have charge of all
matters pertaining to the proposed
series of contests with the Albuquer-
que team.
The meeting was not as well attend
ed as anticipated. However, a suffi-
cient number were present to take ac-
ton in the matter. It was decided to
leave the affair in the hands of the
original promoters of the enterprise.
These gentlemen will meet today and
perfect the organization of the execu-
tive committee. A manager will then
be selected to get the team together
and handle it at Albuquerque. Suffi-
cient funds have been guaranteed by
responsible parties to carry out the un-
dertaking, and ii is confidently expect
ed that a strong team will be secured.
IF necessary" said Mr.. Magoffin,
''the manager chosen will go east at
once to get the club together If possi-
BILE the players will all come from one
club, as they will be used to working
in concert, and consequently will form
a stronger team than II secured separ-
ately from different clubs. We would
like, if it can be accomplished, to Sc
cure the entire Pittsburg club. If this
can not be done, the idea is to get the
very best available material. At any
rate, we will have a first class team
that will stand every chance of coming
off victorious"
Plans are on foot to arrange the
series of contests between the two
clubs so that the games played in FL
Paso will be just as interesting as
those played at Albuquerque and so
there will be as much at stake.
The gentlemen having the matter in
hand predict that the games will be
ton of the country, and the coming
contest is exciting a lively interest
among the lovers of the national sport.
Ell Paso Times.
Ryan Chosen Manager.
The subscribers to the base ball en-
terprise met this morning at the office
of Miller & Magoffin, and talked over
matters. 1t was determined that CORE
spondence should be continued with
the Pittsburg team that has made such
a wonderful record. F. S. Ryan, who
is managing the show out at Wash
ington park has been CORES sponding
with that team for the committee. The
committee will tender Ryan the man
agement of the team. James Magoffin,
who has taken so much interest in this
base ball team says they are very anX-
ious to get this team as they think
they must have the best to beat the
skilled players at Albuquerque. The
enterprising people of that city have
engaged three champion pitchers, one
of whom pitched twelve innings few
days ago with only two hits.-El Paso

THE FAIR ESTATE.
San Francisco Loses Large Invest
ments by the Millionaire's Death.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 15.-The
terrible and sudden death of Charles
Fair and wife by collapse OF their auto
mobile near Evereaux, France, yester-
day, means a great loss to San Fran
cisco Just before his departure for
Europe, Charles Fair had practically
completed plans for $5,O00O00 worth
of improvements to the Fair property
in this city. The matter of the dispo-
sition of the estates of the dead mil
lionaire and wife have given rise to
some little speculation of what will be-
come OF Charles Fairs portion of the
deceased fathers immense holdings.
II is a known fact that a very short
time ago, both Mr.. and Mrs. Fair made
wills, disposing of their separate hold
ings and community property, but Just
what the documents provide for
Messrs. Knight ana Haggerty, the at
torneys of Charles Fair, do not feel at
liberty to make public at this time.
Mrs. Fair possessed property to the
value of S35O,O0O, and it is thought her
will bequeaths her holdings of realities
in New Jersey, but in the event of evil
dence being adduced that Charles Fair
succumbed TO his injuries first, Mrs.
Fairs interest in the community prop
erty will naturally revert to her heirs
and it is this point on which the dis
position of me millionaire's estate
largely hangs.

That man as an individual or In the ag-

Geological fact of everyday observation.
There is an amusing illustration Of this in
1.-The Life of Charles Darwin" A gentle
man, who 1t appeared later was good
local botanist, wrote to Darwin from the
eastern colonies that the seeds or beans of
the common field bean had that year every
where grown on the wrong side of the pod.
Darwin wrote back asking for further in
formation, as he did not understand what
was meant, but he received no answer for
a very long time. Il then saw" Darwin
goes on to say, Gin two newspapers. one
published in Kent and the other in York
shire, paragraphs stating that it was a
most remarkable fact that the beans this
year had all grown on the wrong side so
/ thought there must be some foundation
for so general a statement. Accordingly
went to my gardener. an old Kentfsh man.
thing about it, and he answered, oh, no
sir IL must be a mistake, for the beans
grow on the wrong side only in leap year
/ then asked him how they krew in COM
mon years and how in leap years, but soon
found that he knew absolutely nothing Of
how they grew at any time, but he stuck to
his belief. After a time / heard from my
first informant, who, with many apologies
said that he should not have written to
me had he not heard the statement from
several intelligent farmers. but that he had
and not one knew in the least what
he had himself meant. So that here be-
lief-if, indeed, a statement with def
mite idea attached to it can be called be-
lief-had spread over almost the whole of
England without vestige of evidence"
DIR. Poore records an interesting instance
of the same kind of thing in Medical
Jurisprudence" While dining with five or
six military gentlemen, all men of standing
in the army, and one Of them a colonel in
the engineers, the conversation turned on
the growth of hair after death. Dr. Poore
expressed the opinion that theoretically,
such growth might proceed for few mo-
ments after death. but that all. The
engineer colonel turned around and said:
"You are perfectly wrong. There is no
doubt whatever that in the Crinea the
boards of the soldiers grew through the
collars of their greatcoats' Further ques-
tioning showed that this estimable officer,
who was incapable of joke. especially on
such subject, had got 1t from a lieuten-
ant who had got il from a captain; the
captain had been told by somebody who
had himself been told by Tommy Atkins.
OF course the notion that the beard could
grow through the collar of a greatcoat is
wildly absurd, yet here were educated peo-
pie thoroughly believing in it. And the
worst of ii is that. like the old Kentish
gardener, they no doubt stick to the belief.
