IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN NEW AUTOMOBILES
Pope Model Has Speed of
Mile a Minute.
MACHINERY STILL A SECRET
Inside Facts Related of the Formation
and Collapse of the Great
Bicycle Trust.

Dispatches have been received in Wash
ington announcing important changes in
the plans of automobiles for the coming
year by Col. Albert A Pope. presid snt
Of the Pope Manufacturing Company.
The Pope Company has been prOducing
a touring car and imDromptu racer
known as the Toledo. Colonel Pope. in
the dispatches received, announces that
hereafter the car is to be known as the
PoDe-Toledo.
Thesfirst of the cars to bear this name
IS the model Of 1904, which is to be divid-
ed into three models having respectively
two, three. and four cylinders. The new
car is now being tested at the Toledo
factory. and unusual speed on level
ground and in hill-climbing has been
made by the regular stock cars. The
four-cyllnder car has, under adverse
circumstances, made a mile in 1 minute
and 2 seconds. Details concerning the
construction Of the car are being guard
ed until such time as the manufacturers
deem it proper TO make them known, to
prevent competitors from copying the
mechanism.
History of Bicycle Trust.
This custom is In keeping with the
policy of Colonel Pope. who was the
leader in the development Of the bicycle
in the United States until the organiza-
ton Of the combine known as the Ameri-
can Bicycle Manufacturing Company. To
provide dividends for millions of dollars
Of water in the stock. finer mechanism
in bicycles was done away with, and
cheap materials substituted. Handsome
models and individuality were succeed
ed by a commonplace looking wheel
that was little different except in name.
The bicycle riders in the United States
very naturally refused TO buy this wheel,
and in this ended what was popularity
known as the bicycle craze
The promoters of the combine had Oh
tanned control of all OF the other bicycle
plants in the country before they went
TO Colonel Pope. He was ordered to sell
out at a fair price or fight Colonel
Pope accepted the fair price and de-
cided 20 wait until the impossible propo-
sition put forth by the combine failed
In the meantime he saved the fair price
AS was expected. the American Bicycle
Manufacturing Company went into the
hands of a receiver. The people who
expected to get rich quick lost on the
stock, and the property of the Gem
bine was sold to anybody who wanted
IT. Colonel Pope, who had saved the
Ialr price paid MIN IN the beginning.
picked out the plants he wanted, added
them TO his original plant. and begun
again the manufacture OF the bicycle
which made him famous. He added TO
these plants two automobile factories.
one for the manufacture of the Toledo
and the other the Wayerley. Colonel
Pope again being in charge, there will
naturally be a revival in the interest in
bicycles equal 10 that now manifested
in automobiles.

that it will become the principal town
of the territory within very few
Years, and not only of the territory,
but of the whole southwest.
The two great smelt ars of the Cop
per Queen and the Calumet are turn
ing out more bullion than any other
reduction works within the same area
south of Montana. For years the capa-
city of them will be increased.
Douglas is less than two years old.
but 1t has very little of the appear
ance of mining camp, and rather
more OF the active manufacturing
town. The building is phenomenal.
The buildings indicate permanencv.
They are not only solid but a great
deal of attention has been paid to
architectural beauty. There is no i'm
mediate sign of al cessation of building
and of this fact Mr.. Forbes is conn
petent to speak for he is an architect.
A magnificent new school house is in
the course of construction as is aleo
the new postoffice building which is
being erected by private persons, but
upon which the government has taken
long lease.
Two handsome business blocks will
be put up in the course of the winter.
1t is believed that within a few years
Douglas will become the principal
gateway to Sonora and Sonora is now
developing faster than any other coun-
try in the world.
