den and will disaualify the rider following

There is a movement on foot among the
wheelmen OF Omaha and Council Bluffs to
build a cycle path to Lake Manawa. The
scheme is to organize what will be called
a cycle path association and the first yearly
dues will be 81. This will give each men,
Der a certificate good for the first year after
the path is completed. By this II is not
meant TO bar any wheelman from the path,
but especial favors will be shown to all
association members. The best people in
town have taken hold OF the movement and
Council Bluffs riders have ~signified their in
tention of forming the same kind of an or
ganizatlon. This is the SAM scheme which
was proposed two years ago, but was not
looked upon favorably by wheelmen until
they should have their Florence path com
pleted. This is practically the only level run
out OF Omaha and the fact of its running
through the Bluffs should not act as a bar
to the cooperation OF all Omaha wheelmen.
Council Bluffs has as many riders In proper
ton to its size as Omaha has and they
seem to be better organized and more en-
thusiastic than the Omaha men. The road
will bring almost as many Bluffs wheelmen
to Omaha as 1t takes Omaha wheelmen to
the Bluffs. The cycle path association has
not elected officers. but this will be done
shortly and then the character of the men
elected will show that the movement is sure

A significant sign of the times in League
OF American Wheelmen circles is the an
nounced change Of the l.. A. w. Bulletin
from a weekly to a monthly publication.
The Bulletin is the official organ of the
league and has proven a Juicy snap for
Sterling Elliott for many years. The pub
Usher announces that the change is a good
thing, and Elliott knows a good thing when
he sees 1t.
The press committee OF the League of
American Wheelmen makes the following
announcement regarding the national meet
Boston is to have the greatest meeting of
wheelmen this country has ever seen, when
the League of American Wheelmen holds
its national meet there in August. AL
though this annual meeting of the members
OF the organization is usually successful In
every respect, the conditions surrounding
the coming one are even more suspicious
than any OF it's predecessors. The principal
reasons for this are the historic surround
ings Of the city, the fine roads and the
many beautiful resorts. Besides, Boston is
the pioneer cycling city OF the United
States; the pastime first got an enthusiastic
welcome there and its wheelmen have al
ways been in the front ranks OF the great
cycling organization.
THE program of entertainment for the
week, Astounding in attractions. is already
well known to wheelmen, but the bean
eaters are going even farther to make the
meet a success. They are now arranging
for a series OF tours to places of interest In
New England and the touring department
OF the League of American Wheelmen will
have direct charge of them, insuring their
success"

Hawaii's Prosperity.

Reports from Hawaii show that an
nexation TO the United States has given
affairs on those islands a decided
boom. An effort is to be made to in
duce white labor from our Pacific coast
to settle on these islands. This will in
volve the payment of considerably
higher wages; but the great sugar
plantations are now said to be making
profits big enough to admit of this.
who came originally from the United
States. and who would be only too
glad to make most any reasonable con-
cession that would enable them to Sc
cure the intelligent labor of their own
country, instead Of that from Asia
with which they are now forced to get
along. The question, however, is no.
altogether one Of patriotism or philan-
throphy. In a few months ii will be no
longer possible for the planters OF
Hawaii to import Chinese or Japanese
labor under contract. AS is well
known comparatively few Of these peo-
pie ever take up permanent residence
outside Of their own country. The
tide Of Asiatic population will, there
fore. he from rather than to these
islands in the years to come. There
can be no doubt that this fact will be
largely to Hawaii's benefit. Her great
planters. however. will be forced to
look elsewhere for labor supply ana
will. naturally. seek it on our Pacific
coast
There can be little question but what
our trade on the Pacific is destined to
grow to enormous proportions. The
whole country will benefit largely from
It. The stimulus it will afford the sum
total of our national prosperity will be
something tremendous. and especially
will its beneficial effects be felt by
those great fertile states that border
upon the Pacific coast. The growing
prosperity Of Hawaii and the great in
crease in its imports from this country
is but an indication of what the pro-
gressive, enterprising spirit of this
country may look for in that largely I'M
exploited quarter of the globe. Truly
