Zimmerman Attributes His Defeat
10 The CIImrtr of AnstrnIin.

San Francisco, Feb. IA. 4. Zim-
norman, the champion professional hi
cycle rider who arrived from Australia
yesterday. attributes his failure to come
back with an unbeateu record to the
Australian climate. The bicycle racers
OF that country, he says, do not com.
pare with those of America or Eng
land In speed, but no matter how fast
a foreign rider may be he cannot expect
TO win races untll he has lived long
enough In the country to become accll-
mated.
Parsons and Walker are the best
riders in Australia. but they would
stand little chance In this country
against our fast men. Another thing
that hindered Zimmerman in Australia
was the poor tracks, They are gener-
ally four laps to the mile and are
erased. Zimmerman wonc nineteen
races In Australia and was beaten sew
eral times, twice at New Castle. lust
before he left. He was well satisfied
with the financial result OF his trip as
the prizes for races are usually $1,000
Great interest is taken In bicycle racing
ana race meets are attended by from
twenty TO thirty thousand people.
zimmerman was rather reiicent about
his plans In the United States He
said he had not decided whether he
would race again. II he does race Il

AN INJUSTICE DONE
COMMISSIONER BAKER oDEYs THE
STATE LAW.
An Explanation Made in Regard TO
the Many Attacks On Him he-
Gently Published.

Austin. Tex, Feb. l7.-ispecial.)-rhe
dispatches which have appeared recent
~ In the different papers criticislhg
Land Commissioner Baker for what
the articles call his ruling" under
which 1t Is alleged that be Is depriVing
many people OF their improved homes
by leasing to non-residents, is doing
the commissioner an injustice.
The law requiring him to lease the
lands whenever they are not In de-
mand for purchase, as he has not an
omnipresent eye II Is Impossible ior hln
to Know whether they are In demand
for settlement or not unless some per-
son makes application TO buy.
The law gave all purchasers ninety
days after the act took effect to rebuy
their lands from the state by paying
all back interest due up to date Of for
fixture. After the expiration OF ninety
days no application being presented To
buy the land and some person presents
his application to lease II Is accorded
to him as matter Of course, the law
being binding and obligatory on the
commissioner to lease II. Now after an
this Ia done the original owner comes
along and Wishes to buy, saying that
his improvements, etc, are ON the land.
The law then says that you cannot buy
the land II II Is under lease except in
certain cases. As the applicant cannot
show those conditions the lease must
stand. For instance, u 1t Is grazing
land the applicant to purchase must
be an actual settler on some other lands
purchased by him from the state IN
order to buy additional grazing land.
II 1t is agricultural land 1t is not sub
iect to sale under the law unless the
lessee IL an actual settler on other
school lands,
These are merely legal references I'M
der which the commissioner Is COM
PEELED TO act. and are not rules OF his,
but the law as 1t Is enacted and con-
strued by the attorney general
Commissioner Baker says that he
absolutely refuses TO make any ruling,
but follows the law TO the letter. aud
If there is any doubt about the meaning
or the law he always obtains the legal
construction Of the attorney general.

nbout $500. 900 comes from the eN-
port OF new material and agricultural
products, the chief article being raw
