bring with them agricultural imple-
ments free of duty. General Wood re-

For a Bicycle Club.

Little Falls wheelme1 are going to
take concerted action this season IN
an attempt to secure better roads.

have not been taken there is very
good prospects Of success. The pro-
moters If the move met Wednesday

rangements possible at this time,
A temporary organization was e.
fected by the election Of M. V. Wetzel

tary, and DR.. Nero. treasurer, :
OF course, nothing definite ts de-
cided upon, but it is expected that d
permanent bicycle club will be or
ganized with about $50 members.
It is suggested that quarters he &C.
cured for a club house, and that each
member of the club pay a certain
small fee to be used in making q
bicy Gle path leading from this city
probably to Royalton. or possibly
to Pierz. The former place ia favored
for the reason that assistance would,
no doubt, be given by the ROyalton
wheelmen, and as the team travel is
not so large over this road as the
Pierz road. the danger to the path
from that source would be much less
II they fail In getting that path 1t
has been suggested that the cOuncn
be asked to grant the club permits
sion to build a path on Third and

day evening, when more definite
action will be taken.
