AMONG THE
WHEELMEN
Motorcycle riders are anxious to have
arrangements made for prize races in this
city on the Fourth 'of July. The matter
has been talked of In a general way by
different members of the bicycle frater
nity, but nothing definite has been decided
upon yt. The question will be taken up
with the proper Fourth pf July commit
tee right away. Mot6rcyling is becoming
more popular this year, and, like auto
mqbiles, the machines are just becoming
Introduced more generally out West The
motorcycle Is capuble of develoolns: treat
"I speed, and shows to' the best advantage
in a long race. There is no pedal work to
be done. All the rider has to do is to
manipulate the machinery and guide the
concern.
Messrs. Blodget and Cranfleld left Port
land Friday morning' mounted on motor
cycles. th latter going to his home at
Med ford and Blodget to accompany him
as far as Eugene, and return to his home
in this city. "Bob" made the trip to
Eugene to keep off cougars and things
and to set the pace for a long country
ride. "The Portland man will return this
afternoon,
Tomorrow (Sunday) "Billy" and "Bob"
Lea, Andy Frits, Jim Qunlock, F. Wilcox
of Vancouver and "Buck" will take
motorcycle spin out to the Twelve-Mils
House, take dinner there and spend a
part of the day in the country.
The freakest freak wheel of the city is
one made by Andy Frits, a local bicycle
mechanic. E. M. McKenzle has been rid
ing it about town the past few days, to
the ourlosHy of all beholders. The hind
bar upon which the seat rests extends up
in the air about three feet higher than It
should; the handle bars stick up all out
of proportion and spread out at the top
like the horns of a Texas steer. The
sprockets are accordingly high. Perched
on the hump of the wheel, McKeniie
looks like a monkey clinging to a camel's
back. His attitude appears so ridiculous
that he laughs at himself. The mongrel
wheel was carved out of the fertile Imag
ination of Mr. Frits, at trie request of
the parade committee, and was first rode
on the streets here last Fourth of July.
Street-eprinkltng and street sweeping, at
tachments went with It. Water spouted
from a tank fastened on the front wheel,
and a small circular sweeping brush)
turned on the roadway tn Its wake.
Ladies Give Entertainment.
The Ladles Progressive Society o
Woodstock gave an Interesting entertain
ment in their new hall at Woodstock Mon
day evening for the benefit of the or

by local talent. Quite a sum was re
