About SIS, 900 has passed over the
counters of the Shelton Bank during
this week, a large portion Of which
has been taken away to bring it's
possessors' a good time. AS usual
many of the men will be back again IN
week or so, ready to shoulder their
burdens of low wages, the weekly
board, and cry about hard times. The
fact that $35. 900 has been paid to log
gers in this immediate vicinity, to say
nothing about as much more paid IN
other parts of Mason County, and
every logging concern paying its men
in full, not a man loses cent ought
to be convincing that times are not so
bad as they might, if those who earn
ed this large amount of money would
but save their earnings and accon1o-
date themselves to circumstances.

Ordinances licensing bicycles 81
year and also prohibiting riding on
the sidewalks, are in process of incu-
baton IN the town council, and under
a suspension Of the rules can be hatch
ed in short order. The license and
fines money are to go into a social
fund for the improvement of the
streets for bicycle travel. 1t seems to
us that the present ordinance prohibit
ing bicyclists from riding past pedes-
TRANS on the sidewalks would secure
the public safety if enforced, and I'M
less ways are provided for bicycles to
travel the newly gravel1ed streets
down town. the proposed ordinance
would be rank injustice to the rights
OF wheeling taxpayers.
