DR.. William Cell of Doylestown, Pa
has arrived in London after an exped-
ton In China, the main feature Ct
which was tracing the Great Wall fer
1900 miles from the coast of Shar-
haikwan to Kiayukun, on the north
ern border of Tibet. He discovered
about 200 miles Of the wall that has
not hitherto been mapped. There ives
little of the masonry remaining.

race Of Chinese pigmies, wild creti-
lures covered with hair, whose ances-
tors, according to tradition, were driy-

PIMA COUNTY MAY BE RELEASED
 0F BONDS
RECOMMENDATION FOR STATE HOOD BILL WILL ASK ABsoLU
 TON FROM RAILROAD BONDS

That a clause will be contained in thg statehood bill to be prepared by Gov ernor Sloan for the purpose of releas ing Pima county from obligation with reference to the old Arizona narrow guage bond issue, involving the pay. ment by. the county into the treasury of the territory nearly $3O0,000, was the statement given out by J. B. Wright, the new attorney general of the terri tory, says the Tucson Star. Pursuant to request of the governor, prepara- tory to the presentation of the state hood bill, the attorney general is now engaged in preparing data on the sub- jeet, the fact to be contained in this clause of the bill.
 "Governor Sloan, being former res ident of Pima county and being inter. ested in the welfare of this county, is including Pima county's interest in his first work. Being we'll acquainted with the situation as to the bond issue, he will take steps in this matter to release the county from further obligation as to tho bonds.
 Every old timer of Pima county, and in fact the territory, is acquainted with the narrow guage bond issue proposi- ton. In 1883 the county was compelled by mandatory act of the Arizona leg islature to issue $l50,00O worth of it's bonds to the Arizona Narrow Guage Railroad company for the purpose of assisting the company in constructing railroad from Tucson to Globe, Ae- eording to the provisions of the act, the county was to trade $50,000 worth of it's bonds for an equal value of stock of the company upon the incorporation of tho concern. Another $50,000 worth of bonds was to be negotiated in a similar manner upon completion of grading of the first five miles of right of way and $5o,0O0 worth of bonds were to be traded upon completion of each additional five miles.
 The railroad was never built. Ten miles of grading was completed in most satisfactory manner and then work was abandoned.
