tractor Of this city who has been in
Alaska for the past year. has returned
10 the states. and was seen In Seattle a
few days ago by an As;orian who was

Now that the winter has about set in
something is needed 10 fll the place that
bicycling does in summer Out door
sports cannot be depended upon and the
lover Of the like must look to something
else for his usual exercise. All over the
country roller skating rinks are being
erected and this invIgoratlng exercise
WIN supply the deficiency OF being un-
able to use the bicycle during the winter
months. Skating rinks In Astoria were
at one time very popular, but since the
bicycle came into vogue they have not
been thought OF. In the eastern states
the roller skating craze ls sweeping over
the country and is already the popular
amusement In all eastern cities. Ball
bearing roller skates are being used al
most exclusively. 1t would not be very
strange II the craze. which Is sweeping
westward. should soon strike Astoria
and revive a winter pastime that has
been forgotten for years.
