HIS REPLY TO Mr.. NORTON
How the American Cattle Market
Was Broken Down.
Samuel w. Allerton. OF Chicago,
Explains the Effect of Shipments
From American Ports.
luSFf

Chicago, Dec. 22-Samuel W. Allerto,
has made reply to the letter of Sterling
Morton. Secretary of Agriculture, relative
to cattle shipments to European ports,
Speaking directly of the shipments of Cana
dian cattle from American ports, recently
Mr.. Allerton, says:
II AM informed Canadian shippers loaded
on the Allan Line boat Peruvian, AT cat
tie (capacity 63o); also on the Cunard Line
boat Carntiia $50 cattle fcapacity s7Oj.
In order to take these boats away from the
American shipper, they paid premium
of 1 q shillings IL head for the privilege of
not taking the entire capacity OF the boats
The steamship companies expect TO get
American shippers 10 fill the boats, but no
American shipper would load those boats
tocome into contact with Canadian cattle.
Now, you must see that this reduced
the shipments OF American cattle in one
week 1000 head.
You see that the result of allowing
Canadian cattle to be shipped through Yer
mont to Boston, was that the Canadians
could come into competition with our ship
pers. and charter The steamships. This
broke our cattle market 20 cents hundred
in one week. and reduced the value Of
10000 cattle in one week fully 80 cents
a hundred. This was II loss to the American
farmer, grower and feeder OF cattle.
Now, is it doing justice to the United
States farmer or our government to open
, its puroS. exposing our cattle with Canadian
cattle, which English veterinaries have
declared are tinctdrcd with contagious
urb-pneunonia" Surely, So long as the
Canadian government VIII not allow Anlrri-
, can shippers To load from their ports, why
should we allow them to load from our
ports, and To reduce the value of our cattle
by taking the steamships from American
export shippers

A strong effort will be made at the meet
ing of the national assembly of the League
of American Wheelmen to eliminate the
word amateur" from the qualifications
of membership, as given in the constitution
and bylaws of the organization. Until the
advent of Arthur A. Zimmerman into the
ranks of professionalism, the word pro
fessional' when applied to bicycle racing
men was almost Synonymous with every.
thing that was dishonest and vile OF
course, there was some square profession
ais, but they were in hopeless minority.
Now, however, since the l.. A. W. took con-
troll of professional racing, all this has been
changed. Among the professional riders
are numbered men who would be ornaments
in any society, and whose word is as good
as their bond. Those who wish to admit
the pros argument, that there is no more
reason for excluding a man who makes an
honest living riding a bicycle than there
would be in refusing to admit one who
earned his bread in some other way They
think that the tricky ways of the old pro-
fessional class were the result of an alb
sence of government, and, this objection re-
moved, they want to give the professionals
n represc ntation in the body under the con-
troll Of which they ride.

IN THE WHEELING WORLD.

In answer to an inquiry, the L. A W
Bulletin publishes the following code of
bicycle etiquette. to be followed by gen
tlemau riding with two ladies:
1. When meeting a team keep yourself
on the ladies' left-hand side. so that you
are between them and the vehicle.
2. Keep in the background. where you
are in a better position to act in 4 case OF
emergency.
3. In case Of baIky or frightened horses,
quietly bid the Ladies' 10 disfnount and walk
past the animals, a. it Will save many ac-
cidents.
4. In passing a team keep well q front
on the ladies right; then take your place
III the FEAR. The reason for putting the
gentleman in the rear is that lie generally
sets too hot pace when in front.

yesterday in the possession of at least $50
in cash and jewelry of the same value,

roof that sheltered the Pages-31 Defrees

suspicion pointed directly and without a

bers were out of sight. Thirty days.

Drop and rams horn handle bars will be
used much more generally next year than
at any time heretofore. Two years ago
the rider who used bars of this description
was ridiculed "a beIpg lame imitation Of
racing man, but many of the scoffcrs have
discovered what great advantage the rams
horn bar gives Them over the rider with
raised handles. Rams horn bars are not
suitable for very stout riders, but slender
people find that after becoming accustomed
to them, hey are able to ride much faster
and with greater ease than with any other
kind The handles do not interfere with
the riders knees in making a short turn.
There are a dozen different ways in which
the hands may grip the bar, thus allowing
many different positions and making it
very restful to the rider, and the increase
of distance between the saddle and the
handles allows one to get over his WORK
and use every pound Of propulsive power
