BY WHEEL TO CHICAGO.

Two Helena Bicyclists Are Going to Make
the Trip.
II, C, Dancke and A. Fitzpatrick will start
from this city ON bicycles for Chicago
on June %. They will depend on thair
wheels for the entire trip, and will not RIDE
n part of the distance 0 n a railroad train,
and expect to make the journey in about
thirty-eigh or forty days. After leaving
Helena the wheelmen will follow the line
Of the Northern Pacific railroad as closely
as possible until Bismarck is reached. Short
stops will be made at Bozeman, Livingston,
Billings, Miles City, and Glendlve. b
route from Bismarck to Chicago has not
been decided upon yet, but will be as soon
as maps are received showing the wagon
roads in the states to be crossed.
There is one very good route
from Bismarck by way of st. Paul
and still another through South Dakota.
A. Gilpatrick, who will ride a New Mail
wheel, is a son of S. G. Fitzpatrick, chair
man of the city board of education. He Is
q and was born in Montana, and is a
plumber. His companion came here from
Chicago about two years ago and IS EN-
pioyed as a stenographer in the office OF
G. l.. Tracy. Mr.. Dancke. who is "a, will
ride a hfty-two inch American champion.
The young men nave been riding about
three years.
The trip will not be altogether for pleas
ure, it being designed somewhat as an ad-
ve~rtisenent of Helena. A subscription list
has been started to help defray expenses.

Brick ayem0uts

To THE INDEPENDENT: The paving of
streets and making of roadways has been
taken as one of the indications of the de-
gree of civilization of a people, and to-day
it is a problem with which municipalities
are occupied. For this class of work and
for the business streets of nearly all OF our
western cities brick payements with
out q doubt are best adapted
to fill all requirements. The question
of durability has been practically
settled, as they nave been in use in the
United States for from fifteen to seventeen
years with little or nc sign of failing and
practically no expense for repairs. while in
cities in Holland they have endured the
test for more than half q century, The
wear IN bloomington, ILL.,, az given by Mr.,
Bell, the CITY engineer, was not moro than
half an inch in twelve or fourteen years.
The even level surface of brick tavements
is very easy Oh horses feet and the velvety
texture makes them smooth. but never slip
perry. The jolt, shock and veal upon teams
and vehicles on granite and cobble-stone
pavcments il entirely wanting in those of
brick. Brick pavements are claimed BY
their advocates to be almost as noiSeless AZ
any other. The roedbed should be thor
oughly underdrain,d at depth sufficient to
insure safety from being softened by water
from springs, spouty places or imperfect
surface drainage. Solidity of roadbed is
surface of the paved street, and drynsss
adds materially to the durability and
healthfulness of the pavement. The plan
generally adopted in the cities of Illinois
and other places in the Mississippi valley il
undoubtedly the best, and in the END
the cheapest for laying brick pavements
This, with slight variations as to detail
