It Is a late day in the history of the Indian for him to take up the role of landlord. but he seems to have done 20 successfully in the state Of Oregon.
 This new condition of agriculture exists in that portion of the state oc- eupied by the eastern Oregon Indians. Nominally these tribes have aban- doned their tribal relations. and their members have taken lands iH sever alty, but instead of occupying their farms. they rent them to whites. who pay 8 rental of from S1.50 to B per acre.

makes steering more difficult and any
thing slippery on the road will COM
plete the necessities for slip.
The roads of England have cost the
government S150.O00,000 in the last
two hundred years. There are 10000
miles of them, according to official re-
ports Compared to ours they make
ours look like the popular thirty cents.
When chain rivet is not TO be found
in the tool bag and a repair shop is
not convenient, cyclists will find that
a wire nail filed down makes good
substitute where one Is necessary.
Wire nails are now so common they
may be found almost anywhere and
the tip may be valuable to those who
remember it.
Occasionally n wheelman should ex-
anime the cement tube to ascertain If
it is ready for use. Cement hardens
with time and when i'm that condition
is not serviceable for repairing punct-

tight as possible to prevent the harden

The greatest trouble. novices have is
steering. 1t is no unusual sight to see
them wobbling the front wheel in
every direction. This can easily be
remedied if the would-be cyclist will
keep his or her wits and remember not
to look Mt the front wheel or very near
it. BY keeping the eyes as nearly as
possible at least thirty feet away ii
will be found much easier to balance
and steer. When the eyes are on the
front wheel each little movement be-
comes aggravated and the effort tc
overcome the unsteadiness makes II
worse.

Exploits Of a Bicyclist
Who Plays With Cable Cars.

Could you ride the Broadway cable
slot on the hind wheel of your bicycle
with the front wheel in the air? In
quires the New York Journal.
"Could you take off your coat and
vest in trent of an on-rushing cable
car while pedalling backwards?
Maybe you could-once; but don't!
An amateur bicyclist in this city has
blanched the face of nearly every mo-
torman on the Broadway line. His
feats attract crowds near Twenty
third street and broadway every even
ing. Some people have been going to
see this rider night after night during
the past month.
II expect to see his mangled body
picked up every night l see him." was
the way one oil them put ii.
The riders name is John A. Ryland.
He is attached to the Empire Theatre,
but has never given stage exhibitions.
Ryland was riding in front of car
with his front wheel in the air when
seen by the reporter. When he came
to the house ut which he wanted to
stop he swerved his bicycle Into the
gutter. Then he said:
Il ride for fun. My bicycle is made
to stand the strain. There is no danger
Motormen get scared when l come sud-
denly in front of their cars, and new
men stop short After one or two eX-
periences they get used to my style or

| attempted any tricks in front of cars
The pavement bothered me at first. 1t
is great sport and the element of dan
ger makes it more interesting. If my
bicycle should slip | would fall out
side of the tracks"
Then Ryland jumped on his bicycle
and as an electric car came up Tween
ty-third street, he darted out ana
threw the front wheel in the air. Then
he rode half way up the block. His
wheel was Mt no time more than six
feet from the car. He turned to the
track running west. grasped the back
of the bicycle saddle and sprang i'm the
air, twisting his feet over the top bar
of the machine. Then he caught the
pedals and, sitting astride the top bar
with his back against the handle-bars
started up the street. Then he did the
disrobing act.
First the coat came off. Then Ry-
land took off his vest and waved them
at the motorman. all the time travel
ling backward ten miles an hour. At
Sixth avenue Ryland put on his coat
and vest, and, without changing his
position on the wheel. steered east over
the rough pavement, still riding back
ward.
Then Ryland saw crowd gathering
and said:
There are too many people. 1t don't
do to get such a crowd together"
