THE RIVERSIDE CLUB.

Brief History of the Enterprisins G
Organization.
In the spring of 1891 few bicycle en-
thusiasts, among them Harry Hawes,
Will and Chalris Cowsn, James H.
Goodhue, DR.. G. W. Sylvester, Carl W.
Derby, Arthur Everest and a half-dozen
others organized the Riverside Wheel
men, a club since noted for its fast men
on the track and its stayers on the road.
Arthur Everest was elected its first
president, Harry Hawes secretary-treas-
urer and Carl w. Derby captain, and the
club INDUCED in its first run on the
evening of the election.
The club had but few members until
the winter of 1891, wnen Fred Coulter
and the Oowan boys doomed the mem
bership to about 80, which is about the
average membership up to this time.
The club is now very nicely located in
the Frost block, corner OF Main and
Sixth streets.
The club counts among its members
such racing men as Louis W. Fox, Casey
Castleman, Carson Shoemaker, James
Patterson, jr., 8. G. Spiers of Los An
geles and many others who have proven
their metal in many hard fought bat
tie on track and road.
There has also been developed in this
club a number of enthusiastic wheel
mon (cranks) who, while they do not
race themselves, furnish lots of en-
thuaiasm and backing for the boys who
do; notably John Simms, Lou Brun-
dige, Stanley ]. Castlemsn, j. A. (Pop)
Bigelow, w. A. Oorrell. Ike Logan and
many others, in fact the whole member
ship Of the club stick together like
brothers. The present officers are !:
John A. Simms, president; John A.
Bigelow, ecretary-treasurer and I. S.
Logan CAPTAIN.

THE ABBoTTsFoRDs WIN.

They Play Too Strong a Game for the
Californias.
There seems to be huge "hoodoo"
overhanging the California clubs base
ball nine. Try as hard as they can they
cannot shake off the old-man-of-the-sea
in the shape OF 'hoodoo" and if some-
thing is not done to break the spell the
nine will be relegated to that dim
obscurity where belong all back
numbers. The Abbottsford Inn team
are quite a clipper lot and got away
with the California club fellows in ap-
proved order. OF course the usual
number OF errors occurred and attend
ant upon them we're plenty of runs.

noon, but the Abbottsferds were too
much for their opponents and won by
the score OF Ia to IL.

The Oxford men have agreed to ar

into consideration that the affair is to be

that few If any of the owners of thor

The Clover Hay Worm.

The only way to deal with the clover
hay worm, says the Iowa Homestead, Is
by fire. Haul out the affected hay and
burn it before the moths begin to appear.
After burning carefully scrape the in
side Of the barns where cocoons are
found. This is the only remedy, and
unless it be applied effectually this in
furious pest will spread and cause great
losses to farmers in the west. Once
more we urge every man to make close
examination Of the butts Of his stacks
and the bottoms of mows and let the
fire do its perfect work before the moths
appear Until the moths appear no par
ticular harm will be done. This crop
has done all the harm it can. The thing
TO do is to provide against the next. The
moths will not be liable to issue III that
latitude until about the LIST of June, SO
there is plenty of time yet, but the work
must not be neglected. After the cattle
are turned out to grass make whole
burnt Offering of all infested hay, even
though there be but few worms or CO.
coons to be seen.

900 farms in the United States. One
quarter Of the farms in the United States
are mortgaged; three-quarters of the
farms are owned free of encumbrance
The total mortgage debt resting upon
the farms of the country is not NEARLY
90, 900, 900, 0o0," but is actually ST.
04O, 900, 900. Taking the whole country
through the aggregate mortgage debt on
all farms Is not much more than 10 per
cent of their total value, and in some
states it is much less than this. The
rate of interest varies from Az to 8 per
cent The average is about per cent.
The rate is highest in those states III
which the legal rate Of interest is great
er than in eastern communities. The le-
gal rate of interest is 6 or per cent Ill
most of the states, but in Idaho, Mon
