NEW YORK, Oct. There is every
indication now that there will be stir
ring time among the walkers next year,
especially at the Olympic games. Be
cause George Goulding, the Canadian,
has beaten Larner and Webb, the two
best men in England this year he looked
to be the logical candidate for the honors
at Stockholm: While everybody admits
the superiority of the youngster from
the Dominion It is not so very certain
that he will have it all his own way, for
out OF the wilds of the Transvaal, South
Africa, has emerged a new aspirant At
recent meet given by the johannesburg
Harriers Athletic club c. ST. Norman
won the three miles in twenty minutes
and forty-nine seconds. and as the tim
Ing was reliable and the track measure
ment correct the figures will go on the
books as a South African record. II is
twenty and one-fifth seconds faster than
the present American outdoor record to
the credit Of Frank Murray, yet II Is
twenty-three and one-fifth seconds slower
than the worlds mark for the distance
made by Larner in 1905, a report of the
contest to the effect that Norman won
as he liked and had there been anyone
along TO push him he might have set up
new worlds figures.

Dodge. vice president of the Phelps-Dodge com pany, and treasurer of the El Paso and Southwestern railroad, arrived in Tucson Saturday morning on No l0 from Los Angeles. and spent sey. eral hours in the city as the guest of Dr. D.

He is a member Uf the American Museum of Natural history is intimately connected with the Car negie institution. and is a member of the board of trustees of Princeton university
 Therefore anything of the splen- did character of work in which Dr McDougall is engaged is of intense interest to me-" he said. You may state that after looking over a DOT tion of your city and some of th2 country surrounding it on my way to the Carnegie desert laboratory, I am greatly taken with Tucson and its vicinity Yes, I realize that I sev- eral times cross the right Of way for the proposed extensino of Lhe Fl Paso & Southwestern.
 "I am not in a position to state what the final action of the company will be. The recommendation of the engineering corps now fin the field and Of Mir. Simmons will have much weight But my understanding is that the extension is very favorably Considered. Perhaps we may hear something more definite before long"
 Vice President Dodge and General Manager Simmons were visited in their cars soon after their arrival by E. w. clapp, assist ant general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific. He stated his call was of q purely social nature
 About 9 o'clock Dr. McDougall called upon them and shortly after ward he took the officials in his automobile to the Desert laboratory. where they spent the rest of the forenoon, returning to the special train less than an hour before the train left for Fl Paso.
