A vexatious Cycling Question.

The problem of luggage carrying
while on a tour is bothersome to many
cyclists at this time of year. Perhaps
is to carry just as little extra clothing
as is necessary, for every additional ar
ticle will be felt later on, not SO much
because of its weight as its obstru-
siveness. Luggage carriers are to be
had for a slight cost, but many of
them are extremely troublesome. The
carriers that occupy the open space in
the frame are particularly troublesome,
in that they are found to interfere some-
what with the legs and are in tho way
generally, though apparently occupying
space that would otherwise be unused.
No one who has never used a carrier of
this sort can appreciate its all round
bothersomeness when packed full of
clothing and other necessary baggage.
If the tourist can copfine his extra bag
gage to a few articles, the bundle may
easily be strapped to the handle bar, and
it will then prove less troublesome. Ex-
perienced tourists often employ ingen-
ious methods for obviating the carrying
nuisance. One that is in some ways
satisfactory, if the tourist has decided
upon an itinerary, is to express a valise
ahead Of him each day to the town
where he will probably spend the night.
Some tourists also buy their changes of
underclotbing when necessary and send
home by mail that which is the worse
for wear. These methods have their
drawbacks, but either n is productive
of less profanity than the diamond
shaped frame carrier. New York Sun.

TtE SPORTING WORLD.

Nothing else is anything like a race
track. 1t has an atmosphere different
from any other thing on earth. The
flash of the sported silks, the dust OF
tina pounded track, the waited odors
from the stables and paddock, and the
people there are all difern from
everything and everybody else. The
outsider who only drops in now and
then and sits still in the stand to watch
the horses run does not understand it
all. The men he sees about him do not
net like ordinary human beings, and
the women are decidedly strange to
him. Instead of passing the time o. day
everybody asks everybody else, What
do you likef" Men with flashing dia-
monds ask the question of ragged negro
boys from the stables. Men ask of WON
en- and women shout it from the stand
to the men OIL their way to the betting
shed. 1t is universal. "What do you
like?"
There Is one thing true about the
people who form the motley crowd at a
race track that is true of people Of all
sorts and conditions the world over
the man who knows the least is the
most liberal with his information. To
the regular salutation Of "What do you
like?''. the man who couldn't tell a sell
ing platter from q stake winner bred in
the purple always has a ready answer.
He is always ready to tell you that
some ''babv" can't lose, and you dis
cover later that the "baby'' not only
can lose, but can canter in absolutely"

The man whose opinion Is Of value

occasions, just prior to his departure for
st. Petersburg to play DR.. Steinitz for

Investigate First.

Many of our citizens are thinking
seriously of going to the Rainy Lake
gold country. As very little news is
being received from that country at
present the prospective Rainy Laker
should examine into the affairs of
the country and secure information
from those who have been there be-
fore going and increasing the
list Of unemployed. If you are cap
italist it is different. Everything up
in the gold fields is more or less boom
ing and large crowds are tiocking
TO the new Eldorado: the larger part
going by way of Canadian points.
VIM. Eddy, of this city, who re.
turned from the gold country last
week. brings tidings to the effect that
man without money has no business
there. He says work is not as plenti-
ful Us perhaps it will be in the spring
after The snow disappears. The wages
paid are also very low considering the

is the average wage rate but notices
posted about the mines give the scale
as follows:

hour.
Firemen, S175 per Shift of Il hours.
Landers, from I24c to lite per hour.

County Auditor Halden, whom the
grand jury indicted. says he can salts
factoriIy explain the discrepancies
discovered in his official acts. We
sincerely hope he can as he has made
one of the best officers this county has
ever had. The following statement
made by the auditor will prove of in
terest to his many friends on the
ranges.
~ don't wish to try my case in the
newspapers" said he, "but l don't
object to saying this much-the grand
Jury or its attorney who drew the re-
mort admits that the certificates for
which have charged parties and kept
the fees were not certificates such as
the law provides for; that is, they
were private acts for which the
county was not liable. If l could
make those certificates upon the au-
thority of the county, without per-
sonal liability, l would gladly turn
in the fees to the county treasurer as
the liability is such that no auditor
would assume for nothing. In retain
ing the fees paid me by parties for
such certificates, have followed the
