Toohey, the contractor who has built this link Of the highway. Entries are free. The start will be a standing one ana win be made from the Bank Of Lowell corner at Lowell, the first car leaving at 10 o'clock III the morning of October IT and other cars following at five minutes Inter vals. The hnish will be a point just north of the station at Douglas, the distance being about 24 miles. Cars must be ordinary stock" cars driven by owner or regular driver Mach ines passing from rear must pass to the left and the machine being sL passed must give up half of the road, disqualification and fine being the penalty.
 The Bisbee committee will have charge of the drawing for positions at the start. This drawing will oe- cur at 9:30 on the morning of the race and the drivers who are not present at the drawing will be as signed positions in consecutive order upon their arrivals. The Douglas committee pays the expense of print ed numbered signs W hich must be at tached to and carried by tue cars in the race. After the drawings have been made a representative Of the Bisbee committee will telephone to Douglas the names and order of the starters so that the time can be caught at the finish, the watches or the timers at each end of the line be- ing adjusted to agree by telephone messages.
 Flags either side of the road al Douglas will mark the finish line and to avoid danger of accidents a man is to be stationed at the curve near forest. This curve is such that ap pIoaehing vehicles cannot be seen and hence this precaution Is taken.
 The Bisbee committee will appoint Q judge for the finish to be at Doug las and share the duties there with a Douglas judge and Douglas win have a representative here to act as one of the two starters at Lowell Other details will be arranged and announced by the committees in sd vance of tfN day of the race
 Douglas representatives brought with them advertising matter which will be put out on the streets and two banners that are to be displayed on street cars. They say the Doug las men are making great prepara- tions for the occasion and the pro- gram there gill be an attractive one that will warrant Bisbeeites in at tending
 The completing of this link in the highway is an important event in soJthern Arizona. It marks an epoch in road building here. the true be- ginning of good hiehWays through this section. Thus it is Of especial benefit to automobile owners and to all who have occasion to travel from point 10 point by eny other convey ance than the ears.
 The Bisbee committee is working enthusiastically on the matter and the westerly end of the link will nol he found wanting when the final ar engagements are announced.

Committees From BiSbee and Douglas Settle Many of Details for the
 Affair
GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT

Good roads and the movement fo, still better roads will he given an added momentum by the two days celebration of the oBening of the Bis. beeIlouglas ink or the Arizona Hfga way at Douglas and the road race which will be conducted between LO- well and Douglas and in which cars from this city, Warren, Lowell, Douglas and surrounding joints will be entered. A large entry of cars for this race is assured and interest and rivalry in the event is certain 10 be keen.
 As a result of a meeting which was held at the Elks club yesterday aft ernoon between members of the Douglas committee and the three members of the Bisbee committee rlans fer the proposed road race over the new highway have begun to take on more definite shape and the com Tnittees Of the two cities are fully prepared to go ahead and perfect all necessary arraEgements. The idea was started by Douglas but Bisbee has adopted it promptly and from present indications there will be more Warren District ears entered than Douglas will have representatives.
 Col A. D. Nanuey and John Me. Garty came up from Douglas yester- day to meet the Tisbee committee and in a short time meeting was aransed at which all three members Of the Bisbee committee, Jesse YOa- kum. H D. McVay and ]. ].

selected the room In the southeast
corner of the Capitol on the same
floor with the council chamber, ana
usually occupied by the Committee of
Propositions and Grievances" In this
location, the library may be said to
have first become useful. The small
collection of books in the council
chamber was moved into the library,
and the library became ready for busi-
ness.

During most OF tho years of It's his
tory the library was under control CT
the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
who was cN-oflcio State librarian, al
though assistants did tho actual work.
Notable among these assistants was
Colonel Sherwin McRac. to whose re-
searches tho States owes much. The
library was located for many years in
the old Capitol in tho rooms now oc-
cupied by the Governor and his sec
rotary.
Colonel NfcRae. In Il report to the
General Assembly dated February z.
1872, protested that sufficient care had
not been taken OF the historical manu-
scripts. When the calendar WAS begun
in the year when he wrote, no papers
were found covering the time from
1907 to 1859. the first fortyivc years
of the colony. Copies made in Eng
land supplied the deficiency to some eN-
tent. Colonel McRac found many emp
ty envelopes. whose labels Indicated
their former contents. 1t was sup
posed that literary persons were al
lowed to carry these papers away and
they were not returned. FIe mentions
the original draft OF the Constitution
by Jefferson, which Mr.. Writ says he
saw In the library when writing his
life of Patrick Henry.
Among those who helped to mako the
library what 1t is are gratefully re-
membered the. names of p. T.. Howard.
John Jackson, PoindeStcr, and w. w.
Scott the latter now law librarian of
the Supreme Court of Appeals.
Sold Public Lands.
Thcrc was constantly growing fear
that the library In the Capitol would
be the source of n confagrhtion, or that
It's weight would cause Il disaster. Bat
II seemed to be difficult to get The
Legislature to take up the matter OF
providing new quarters. But public
pressure grew until on March 10, 1854,
there was passed an act authorizing
the sale of "A public warehouse at
buchanan Botctourt county, owned by
he state. and also n similar property
In Richmond. which latter was TO be
cut into -fourth-acrc lots. In ad-
dillon, there were TO be sold the armory
grounds In this city, and tho "pcni
Tertiary spring lot between Main, Cary,
Jefferson and Madison Streets "thc
rope walk lot" on the plat of the city
of Richmond.
With the proceeds of this sale there
were to be purchased bonds of tho
State of the issue of 1882. at market
value, to be held to- meet tho cost OF
public building to be used as n IL
brary and for the housing of certain
State Offices.
At the session of 1886, the matter
was UP again. and Senator'S William
I1ovenstein. Taylor Berry and Henry
Heaton wcre named a committee to
procure plans and reports at the next
session. In this Senate were mon

How They Killed It.
Thcre seems to hnvo been some side
stepping In the session of 1887. Gov
crnor Fitzhugh Lee, In his annual
message dated December z. of that
year, announced that the time had como
when the people must either turn their
faces from the memories of the past
and build II new Capitol, or else pro-
vide separate quarters for the library
and for some of the officers By that
time tho sum of Sl09,8T5 was avail
able from tho sale of the State prop-
erty. a resolution was offered that the
library committee take the matter up
ana make II report, and, although
Senator (now Lieutenant Govcrnor)
Ellyson tried repeatedly TO get this
done, the whole thing was at last re-
ierred TO the COMMITTEE on Finance and
Banks, where 1t slumbcred.
At last, on March 3. 1892, action was
secured when a bill was passed de-
claring that the Capitol was over
loaded with tho library. that 1t was
necessary to rent rooms for Offices
at considerable expense. and that ar
chivcs of incalcula BILE value were in
danger of being destroyed. In all, the
money available was found 10 be
lT3.9OO In pr cent. bonds, with
interest amounting 70 S37.22S.5O Also
in 1890 there had been sold tho State
cattle pens in Henrico county. and of
tho price 5000 had been paid with SIS
interest. Tho remainder of the prop
erty was estimated to be worth TO-
600. IL was also figured that the
building occupied Ivy the Supreme
Court could he sold for $4,000. In all,
tho state was paying $4,000 in rent.
Commission Named.
so commission was created, known
| as "'Thc state Board of Building Com.
| missioncrs." with instructions to sell
tho court building. sell out the bonds
and cover the money into the treas
: ury. OF the proceeds 100000 was
appropriated. with which 1t was nu-
| thorized 10 build n structure for the
library and for offices In the Capito oil

In his last message to the I.cgisla

would cost sl61,2+6.40, and that Il was
