stealing the little fellow. An ex

tamer leads the crowd a merry
chase, finally returning to the
caere of wild beasts with his
clothes nearly torn from his body,
and attempts to take refuge with
his pets. Evidently the animals
fail to recognize their master, for
he no sooner enters the cage than
the tiger springs upon him and
kills him. The pictures in this

It is to be hoped there will be
no hitch in paving Second street

of the people seem to be enthu

some who need such an object

see it . there during the worst

that the council is of the disposi

The time-honored bicycle ques
tion is up for. settlement in Salem
again. On one side are the wo
men's clubs and those citizens
who do not ride wheels, who are
trying to induce the Council to
pass an ordinance ruling wheels
off from all sidewalks, and on
the other side are the bicycle,,
riders and many business men
who feel that laboring people "
cannot afford to pay 20 or 30 cents
per day car fare, and who want
the present ordinance enforced
requiring the wheelmen to keep
to one side of the walks in the
district where they are allowed
to ride.
The Council has been consider
ing a measure greatly increasing
the scope of the territory in
which bicycles shall be tabooed
and requiring riders to dismount
every time they meet a pedes
train. The bill is so sweeping it
is believed to have little chance
of passage. However, the riders
are aroused and have organized
the Bicycle Riders' Protective
Association, elected officers and

Salem really should not try to
put on such metropolitan airs..
It is much more satisfactory to
let the bicyclists own the earth,
and the sidewalks too, as they do
here in Corvallis, than stir up
trouble over such a little matter
as the fancied rights of pedes
trains to have the sidewalks all
to themselves.
