Kaldunski had gone out Of his way to
oppose all wheeling measures in the
municipal legislature.
Another circular issued by the wheel
men yesterday says that Dr. Schiff-
mann neglected to acknowledge a. note
asking the doctor for his views on the
matter OF interest to them. DR.. Schiff-
mann has on several occasions said he
was in favor Of good roads and that
the interests of cyclists would receive
attention. DR.. Schiffmann said last
night that he had dictated a reply to
the request, and If it had not been
received it was through some clerical
error. Wheelmen need have no fear
but what they will receive their rights
from Dr. Schiffmann
Undoubtedly from this time on. until
the soldiers at Camp Ramsey take their
departure for the South, the camp will
be the objective point of curious wheel
men. On Friday night the Laurel CyI
Gle club took the first club run of the

the sixty members of the club who ac-
companied Capt. Low expressed them
selves as highly pleased with what they.

In a few short weeks White Bear
Will be completely encircled with q
cycle path system, which will connect
the White Bear path with the network
OF paths in the Twin Cities. It can be
said without the possibility of dispute,
that st. Paul will soon have the finest
and most complete system of cycle
paths in the West. Communications
are constantly being received by the
officers of the st. Paul Cycle Path as
ISOLATION from distant points asking
for information about the construction
Of cycle paths.
Enough money is now in sight to in
sure the building Of the path from
Wildwood to Mahtomedi, to insure its
construction, which will complete the
circuit.
The White Bear path has been re-
paired, and Is now in excellent con-
dition. After couple Of weeks the
path will undoubtedly be one of the
fastest in the county, for a country
path over straightaway course. Moth

Some local wheelmen have covered the
course in thirty-five minutes.
The Cycle Path association has ex-
hand for repairs. It will require a
couple Of thousand dollars to complete
the cycle paths which have been pro-
posed, including the aid which may
be given by the city and county This
means that 1000 wheelmen will have
to come forward with their subscrip-
lions. Lists are being circulated in
the banks, business houses and resi-
dent portions of the city, and the can
vassers are vying with one another to
secure the largest list. Each solicitor
is holding back his list in hopes of Sc
curing additional subscriptions, which
accounts for the few subscriptions
which were received last week by
Treasurer Anderson.
Many Of the most enthusiastic Of the
wheelmen were members of the nation
al guard, and since the troops We're
called out many familiar figures have
been missed from the Streets Of the
city. It would be possible to organize
an efficient bicycle corps out of the
local guardsmen who ride "bikes."
Secretary Low, Of the st. Paul Cycle
Path association, received 1000 of the
new cycle path emblems yesterday, and
he stands ready to supply all those
who wish to become members of the
association. Bring in your dollars.
