An ex citing chase takes place, and the 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.

It is to be hoped there will be no hitch in paving Second street this fall. While a great many of the people seem to be enthu siastic over paving, there are some who need such an object lesson as a pavement on Main street would prove. They could see it . there during the worst season and note its worth and beauty. It is gratifying to note that the council is of the disposi tion to push this along as rapidly and as far as seems advisable.

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 propose to appoint a large num ber of bicycle policemen, who will help ; the regular force enforce the law. agmst..scqrcJwnJgJ.Thei, new association is in favor of re taining the present ordinance without amendment. 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. from September 7th. to 11th. inclusive, five days in all.
