The Army Bicycle.
From Golfers Weekly.

Cavalry is the eye Of an army is say
ing that dates back, probably, to the earli-
est Use Of troopers by commanders OF large
armies, and 1t is a matter OF history that
troops without cavalry have generally SUI
fered through surprises and through in
ability to have their fronts and TANKS prop
erly reconnoitered.
On the other hand, attachments OF cav
airy are not always to be obtained at short
notice, nor Is the making of competent
trooper the work OF day. Forage for a
horse weighs ten times as much as rations
for a soldier and is a serious clog upon the
transportation Of an army; yet to expect
horses to live upon the country" is to have
them deteriorate and break down quickly.
To move a body of horses by water or rail
causes trouble for army Quartermasters,
and the horse is preferred to his rider as a
target when he reaches the enemy's coun-
try.
While the bicycle cannot replace the
horse for all military purposes, 1t is always
available, 1t needs no food, II occupies but
little room and II is almost invisible at rifle
range. and is. therefore. an unsatisfactory
mark for bullets. With q bicycle squad an
infantry regiment, battalion or even single
company can advance with confidence to-
ward any portion of an enemy's country,
for it's front and tanks may be SO thor
oughly covered as to give information
and alarms In 4mple time.
Our regular army has experimented eys-
tematically with the bicycle for several
years, and the results have been far more
satisfactory than had been expected.
Mounted soldiers have eluded observation

The two clubs started from the Levants'

via venterville, woodward, Reform school.

Riding was anything but pleasant Ow-

a good time was had, notwithstanding the
fact that the roads were in a misera bile

 i. Reach No Satisfactory Agree. =, F.. ment at Their Conference.

F., H. Goodman, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Company held conference yesterday morning with F. A. Wadleigh of the Rio Grande and Western Railway in regard to put. ting the reduced. seeond-class rates into effect via the Ogden gateway, in order to allow the lines out of Ogden to reap the benefits of increased passenger: traffic but the negotiations were fruitless. Both gentlemen were extremely reticent as to the: outcome of: their meeting, and as one tersely expressed 1t, there was no out. come" It is practically acknowledged by all the lines interested. however, that Mr Wadleigh, who in reality, represents the Rio Grahde, and not all the lines east of Ogden, as has been reported, was ur- successful in his endeayor to have the Southern Pacific Company. as the Initial line, consent. to a reduction in. rates via the Ogden gateway. Considerable dissat- lsfaction is expressed by the. officials of the roads out Of Ogden as#to the :disin- cl1nation of the local company to enter into the compact. It Is now. stated that If the Southern Pacific Company is will Ing to put rates in via Ogden on a regu- lar basis of division supposed fe be fair and equiteble, the lines out of Ogden and their connections will immediately join. But the southern Pacific Company 1t is said insists on SIl Sc as it's share of the haul to ogden. On a S20 rate to Mis- souri River points this would leave the other lines Ss 20 as their share. Now as it is S33 miles to Ogden and 1884 miles to the river the officials of the Ogden lines say that the demands of the Southern Pacific Company are unreasonable. Not only that, but the latter company wishes to exact the regular 46 per cent on all rates where such a method of computation would bring them a larger return than sl1 so. In other words they desire practi- cally an arbitrary rate from here to Og- den, and as usual with the corporation
 they want all the traffic will bear" {"
 Mir Wadleigh will have another confer ence with MT. Goodman to-day, and 1t is possible that something will develop
 Another complication is liable to arise
 is the Canadian Pacffic's possible inten- ton to make still further reductions in their rates. and in that event affairs in railroad circles will become quite inter- esting and developments will be anxiously awaited for by the travelling public
