THE COST OF CYCLING.
As Figured Out by an English Lover q
the Snort.

As Figured Out by an English Lover OF
the Sport.
An English statistician has figured
out the comparative cost per mile of
cycling, and as this is about the first
time this has been done it will be of
interest to wheelmen generally. He
states: II have now the records of four
machines. The first was cheap pri-
vate make. 1t looked very smart in tho
shop and was of the kangaroo pattern.
The second, third and fourth were all
rear driving, solid tired safeties, all by
the same makers. Machine No. l.
Bought new September, 1886; sold 1888;
retained twenty months; original cost,

actual cost per mile, after deducting

No. 2-Bought new April, 1888; sold
February, 1890; retained twenty-five
months; original cash cost, including
accessories, ELS 9s. miles ridden, 3,3O3;
actual cost per mile, deducting cash
realized from sale, 10000. Machine
No. 3-Bought new March, 1890; sold
October, 1890; retained seven months;
original cost e16 5s.; miles ridden, 2,1O5;

No. 4-Bought new March, 1891; sold
October, 1892; retained nineteen
months; cost, cit 12s.; miles ridden,

speaks for itself. The cheap machine
(No. y was the most expensive. 1t was
always under repair, SO that while it
cost me cash for repairs, lost it's serv-
ices at the same time. My third ma
chine-sold at the end of the first sea-
someone's out the cheapest at about

what my riding cost exclusive of per-
sonal expenses while cycling"

Attorney General S,antish met Tom
Lowry in Minneapolis the other day, says
the Bismarck Tribune, and that gentle
man unbosemed himself quite freely re-
garding the completion of the 500 road
to Bismarck. Mr.. Lowry did not hesitate
to say that the settlement Of the capitol
question means great deal more to Bis
marck than her citizens now realize.
II has changed the whole prospective
railroad system in the western part of the
state; or, rather. would result in the
carrying out Of the original plans of the
Milwaukee road, the Northwestern, the
Soo and the Northern Pacific, to make a
common point at Bismarck in the near
future. The 500 will be extended to Bis.
marck as soon as possible probably IN
time to move this seasons crops. More
than that, the old grade will be ironed to
Aberdeen, and possibly the line will be
extended southeasterly from that point
William Dwycr, of Napoleon, was a
visitor in the city, yesterday, says the
jamestown Alert, on his way home from
81. Paul He has been reuppointed by
the governor on the state equalization
board, which holds Its next meeting in
August Mr.. Dwycr attended session
of the Minnesota legislature this week,
and heard Ignatius Donnelly impule the
coal combine in a masterly speech. Mr..
DonnelIy's learning and influence are
predominant factors in the Minnesota
Legislature, says Mr.. Dwyer, and the pub
lie has not complete knowledge Of the
great strength and ability of the man,
largely owing to the systematic distortion
and ridicule directed against him by the
press "Thc 500 road is likely to soon
be completed TO Bismarck, after all that
has been said to the contrary" suys Mr..
Dwyer."
