ARIZONA AND
NEVADA IN LINE
Both Wish to Affiliate
With California
Cyclists.
Conditions Under Which They
Are to Be Accommodated
Prepared.
The Constitution of the Association
Will Be Amended in the
Near Future.

The expected has happened in the prog
ress of the California Associated Cycling
Clubs toward the amalgamation of the
wheelmen OF the West into a vast organi.
zation to control absolutely the cycling in
terests of the district this side of the
Rocky Mountains.
The most prominent wheelmen of Ari-
zona and Nevada have applied to the asso-
citation for admission and permission to
organize their forces against the League
of American Wheelmen, and within a
few days a plan of action will be laid out
for them and the fight put in full swing.
Oregon has also shown a disposition TO
come into the fold, but there is still a
slight drawback in Portland, always a
strone league stronghold, where strenu-
Gus efforts are being made to arrest the
march OF the association, though with in
different success.
Since the applications of Arizona and
Nevada cIme in the leaders in the associa-
ton have been giving their claims much
thought and the result has been the for
nation of plan which it Is believed will
be successful aud which will undoubtedly
be adopted by the executive committee of
the association IN the shape of amend
ments to the constitution. The amend
ments to be made will also provide for
Southern California. where the c. A. C. c.
sympathizers are anxious TO get to work
so that they can participate in the advan-
tages offered by the association. The
