The darj of real sport I How the I heart of nitn tingle with itcaaure when they hark back, say, twenty years ajo to tho days when they, too, bowled along with the wins of the wind, on their trusty old "bikes!" Will you ever forget that menor able morning when you wheeled that glistening new Columbia, or Creavnt, or Cleveland, or Rambler, or liernea "White Klyer'' or whatever it may have been out for the first glorious spin over the bound'ng roads f I Million Made Last Tear I More than one million bicycles were manufactured last vear and the riders j of todaT are everv bit as enthusiastic nd proud of their mounts a you used to be. And as a rule, they re gettrug a good deal more out of their invest ment . Twenty years ao, the bicycle was at the height of its glory and popular ity. Niarly everybody rode a 'wheel', it seemed. It was inure of a universal proposition than any other kind of ve hicle much more than the automobile vr tho motorcycle, which stole many of its devotee t away, and caused a slump fur a time. The fact is, in recent years there has been a considerable revival of its popularity. During last year, for ex ample, bicyele sales almost doubled and the utility of the machine was expand ed along a number of new lines. 40,000 In A. E. F. There were neurly 40,i00 bicycle in actual service with the A. E. 1'. in France. Many deeds of heroism stand to tho credit of the bicycle corps which rendered such exceptional Bcrvu-c in maintaining tne lines ot communication under fire. Many new uses have been found for the bicvclc in bminera life. As a mat ter of fact, people have just been wak jiiig up to its possibiltes as a practcal and economical means r loeomouou. Congested eonditions, loor trunpor tiitiou service, the long distances in cities, are problems which tho cyclist loses little sleep over. Good Beads Help Vast sums of money have "been ex pended upon good roads. These new arteriiss of commerce are opening up u vast field for the motor truck ex press ami other transportation enter prise and iiK'identally extending the range f the bicycle to degree unheard of in the old days. The revival of "century inns" in various parts of the country is an in dication of the cyclists' appreciation, of their new opportunities in tliis di rection. And by the way, bicycle rac ing is ngaiu coming into wide popular ilv. Big Year Predicted "Our bicycle tire sales," uys liar rv V. Hcott, local Firestone dialer, ''have surprised our enure organiza tion, lor tne last two or inree moiium they have been almost double the sales of the same months a year ngo.

It is not hard to figure out why the bicycle is again becoming popular. It meets a distinct need in our niodirn lift) as the only really .practical self propelled vehicle. In proportion to the investment, its re turns are maximum in convenience, ccniwmv of opeintion and useful ser vice not overlooking the rare oppor tunities for healthful exercise and recreation it affords."

Gilbert Hooked "Big One." Mr. Gilbert had better luck. He honk ed the bigjjest fish in the McKenrie he told us so but it was that wise old two-footer that had been the near vic tim of a thousand anglers before us, the "one that got away." It repeated. t isning. nowever, is not yet goou as far up the Mt-Kenzie as lilue Kiver. ; The snow is still hanriug d-ep in the mountains and the a1 reams are liigh and void. A few good catches have been made, but onlv when the warm 1 sun brought out a "bug hatch" on' tha water. The first day we were there i it rained all during the daylight hours! and Monday morning there wast snow on the mountain tops all around us. , The fish are there, thousands of them, ! and true in ante to the tales of oi ones that have "been caught. They are' to be seen in every hole and Sunday ! morning we could see them jumping everywhere. On the lower river, in the i neighborhood of Hayden's bridge the' fishing is good now and good catches are the rule. Guides Tell Secrets While Mr. Gilbert and Charlie were, fishing and Mr. Hazard was wander ing over the trails through the words 1 was getting the "dope," from Low Tate and Carrie Thompson, guides and boatmen, and "Dad" Merrill, prospect or and miner by profession, but just now storekeeper and postmaster at Blue Kiver. They are not (ishiug now. Occasionally they take a rod and try the river. Late this month and during the first weeks of June the fishing in the immediate vicinity of Hlue Kiv.r will 'be nt its height, they say, and baskets filled with lt to 20 inchers will be tho reward of the anglers. Then they will limber up their boats ami renew their acquaintance of from 2 to .to year with the safe and danger ous parts of tho rushing river, jhe best fishing in the McKcnzio is from the boats, for it cannot be wailed, al though there are some "well paying'' holes that can be whippet from the banks. When the. season really opens, one of the favorite haunts will be the fast waters near tho mouth of the Houth Fork, about three miles above ltlue Kiver. Another stream that will be heavily hit is 'Rlue River itself, from the month three or four miles upstream As the season advances and the trails open further into the mountains the fishing and hun-ting parties will be found working their way further and further upstream along the river and all of the small tributaries. Then, too, will the flow of visitors grow steadily larger, especially after the rond over McKenzie Fass opens the way tx dint from eastern Oregon. Spine of the old residents predict the l'uss will 'be free of snow bv June 1, but the more con servative say June 13, nnd add that that is unusually early. Pack Trains Many Luto in June the Pack trains and gmtli's will begin to start out from Ulue liiver, McKcrrzie Inn, four utiles below, nnd tMcKcnaio llridge, 11 miles upstream, for the more inaccessible re-, gions. Deep into the wilderness of the upper reaches of the South Fork they will go, up lilue Kiver to Tit Bits, the three peaks, aiiOO hundred feet- up, that mnrk the common source of the ('alia pon, Snntiam and Blue Rivers. These trips will be the more popular when the hunt'ing sensnn opens, for, as 'Had' Merrill put it, "those nro some of the spots where the deer appear never to have learned to fear a man." Alrendy the n ad is open to light travel into Lost Lake 2S miles above Blue liiver, but seven or eight miles of the road will yet stand a lot of im provement, before the thousands of eastern brook trout in the lake are brought within practical reach of the autodst, Hut, don't get the idea that the McKenzie country is onlv for the sportsman. Its vacat'ion possibilities are almost unlimited. The scenery is beautiful beyond description, ' the roads, with few exceptions, good, de light fill camping, places are itluindant au, I the hotel accommodations for vis itors who want to "rusticate" that way, excellent.
