BICYCLES AND GOOD ROADS

A leading bicycle maker was asked
the other day to what agencies and
conditions he attributed the great
growth OF sentiment in favor of i'm
proved roads, and the remarka bic
amount of practical work that had been
accomplished within the past ten
years.
well" he answered, with an in
ferior and wholly inadequate system OF
roadwavs in all but few favored states
Improvement was bound, in time, to
come, but it might have been a much
longer time IN coming had it not been
for the great wave of effort, agitation
and favorable influence that spread
through the country with the coming
OF the bicycle. | may say in answer
to YOUR question that, without reserva-
ton, | attribute the improvement in
the highway system OF the United
States directly to the influence exerted
by the American bicycle. Whatever

Of road improvements in this country.
For wears our agricultural organiza-
tons had expounded the doctrine OF
better roads without practical results

literature calculated to open the
farmers eyes to the great saving In

be his portion through the medium OF

farm and his market. But the farmer
is busy man: his father and his
grandfather before him had transferred
their produce over the same old roads.
and what had been good enough for
them, he thought might serve him,
for while longer at least. However, +,
he knew that better roads meant ex-
pense in labor aud materials, and he
was suspicious also that they might
mean increased taxes, Of which he
would be called upon to bear his
portion, and so the agricultural
societies labored, and tons upon tons OF
literature continued to 20 out through
the mails, but results were not forth

BIG PROFIT ON A FISH.
Man Who Made S99.5o From
Sturgeon,

The run of salmon Is proving disap-
pointing thus far Monstrous sturgeon
are tearing the nets to tatters and the
fishermen are becoming disheartened
over their misfortunes. OF course some
salmon are being caught, but the num-
Der is small compared with other sea
sons. SAYS the Oregon City correspon-
dent Of the Oregonian.
When fisherman has a net torn to
pieces by sturgeon. the temptation TO
kill the fish overcomes his desire to
abide by the law, one fisherman this
week sold an S50-pound sturgeon,
which he captured in his net, at 3
cents per pound, 1t Is thought the
buyer took it to Portland and spirited
it into big fish house. The man who
had bought it began to study the law.
He found that while il was unlawful to
take sturgeon, nothing was said about
buying or having them in ones pos
session. Then he began to carve the
denizen OF the deep. He obtained l30
pounds OF caviar, which he sold for
80 cents q pound, thereby obtaining
Sos. As he had paid only s25. 30 for
the fish, he was already ahead of the
game The meat Of the fish he sold
at 10 cents pound as sea bass,
and as there was 600 pounds Of it. he
received $40, thus clearing $99.50 on
one fish.

TRADE WITH CUBA GROWS
Explanation of an Apparent Decline
Given From Washington.

Washington. Nav 6.-In recent
statement given to the press by the
division of insuiar affairs Of the war
department, a considerable loss was in
dicated in the trade Of Cuba with the
United states for the first eight
months Of 1890, as compared with the
same period Of 1899. 1t Is now ex-
planned by the division OF lnsular
affairs that in the statement above re-
ferred to the value OF gold and silver
coin and bullion was included IN the
total value Of commerce between Cuba
and the United States.
Eliminating the coin shipments, 1t
is ascertained that instead OF there be-
ing decrease in the value of imports
into Cuba from the United States,
there is an increase Of 81 222, 205 for the
first eight months OF 1900 over the
same period OF 1899. A mparison
" ith the importation OF merchandise
into Cuba from the United Kingdom
for the same period shows an increase
in favor of 1900 OF 3S.5 per cent and
from Germany of 75.3 per cent. These
per cents look form ida BILE, but it is
said at the war department the
amounts OF increase are not so very
large when they are considered in rela-
tion with the totals OF importa
tion, or in relation with the United
States figures. These English and GER
msn figures are expected to continue
to rise until the United Kingdom and
Germany secure their proportlonate
shares OF trade in Cuba; that is, in
proportion to their shares in other
tropical countries. As the tariff regu-
lations operate upon all countries
alike, exports from Germany, France,
Spain and the United Kingdom to
Cuba will depend on business methods.
