stands in twenty-first place, having last
week passed in number the states Of Maine,
Colorado and California, and next week

Road Book.
The road book committees work is at
last finished. The books are issued and
most of the members have called for and
received their books and have compliment
ed the committee for the fine work they
have published. The book is similar in ex-
ecution to that published by the larger di-
visions, but is gotten up in better style on
the inside, and is a work that Washington
people may be proud of. 1t expected
that there will be as large a demand upon
the outside for the book in Washington,
as many bicycle tourists look towardWash-
ington in planning tour. The book is
presented free to Washington members of
the league, Members residing in other
states are charged 81. and to non-memberS
the book is sold for s.. If the compiling of
the book had not been done gratis by the
committee the book could not have been
put out a the low rate it is so great was
the amount of labor put upon the work.
The latest recruit to l.. A. w. member
ship is that Of Representative ]. w. Bah
cock.
