" " paPsr Ia1iA \ neiu iiioie ' "reminiscences than this one once pos sessed by the worlds famous pedalers cannot be found. Freshness is given to incidents in the life of M. A. Hol- bien, the great Cuca cup English rider, by his latest exploits in essaying to swim the English channel. Holbien a decade ago, with Shorland, electrified thousands of spectators with his ter rife 24-hour bicycle grinds. He swims for eight or nine hours at a time in the angry waters of the channel, buffeting tide and waves and the press of the world gives him attention. He has for saken the bicycle path for good.
 What of Willie Windle? Like Billy Sunday, the once famous baseball player, Windle has become an evangel- ist and religious papers tell of his good deeds, of the souls he has saved and how he finds time for his business s--he's a commercial travelerto en- gage in preaching in tents and halls. Be it said to Windle's creditsithat his labors in the eyangelistic field are en- tirely gratuitous.assO Once there was a time when he would mot < turn a wheel' unless there was arich prize i'll sight.

In his day on the path he had tandems, trips etc.--hnman pace but never had the benefit of gasoline motors until recently he. essayed to follow motor pace and reduced his mile record to 1:49.
 Then there was Harry Tyler, who ten years ago was regarded as one of the best riders in the world. Gentle man Harry was his sobriquet. He is now said to be gentleman farmer" down in New England. Old devotees of cycling will recall his sportsmanlike action in the mile open championship in 1893, when "Pye" Bliss, his great rival, slipped pedal when near the tape and Tyler beat the little fellow out. Tyler refused to take the honor and insisted that Bliss would have won but for his accident. Bliss refused to take the first prize, and for time the racing board had a championship on its hands. Finally after pressure was brought to bear Tyler he took credit for the victory

amateur rider took h1n to the tO most round, is in the railroad bus ness. His sporting inclinations, lea him to bowling and he has gained con siderable substantial reward in tha line. Gus Steele, another rider wh "burned up" the track, also is bowie and has prospered by reason of the de velopment of that sport.
 "Mile Minute'' Charles Murphy not satisfied unless working at so1 hazardous task. Since he gained di function by riding mile on his bicyclt behind railroad train in :57 4-5 sec. onds, he has been hurled from hi. wheel while following equally fast pace and has joined the Greater New York police force. Connected witt Deputy Commissioner Ebstein's office in Brooklyn he has startled the scien. lists by making some assertions re- garding airship navigation. He thinks he can become a worthy successor to Santos -Dumont, who was not at all pleased with the, reception American capitalists gave his plans for future experiments in this country. No air machine can go too fast or ascend too dizzy heights for Mile a Minute' Mur- phy.
 There are many others of the "o1dr time'' class, but they have passed into semi obscurity. Jimmy Michael, the "Welsh Rarebit," who might have been millionaire, has tried the turf and the path and he is not success. Still others are working in shops and offices contented to think of the old days when money "came easy" and went as rapidly as did the opportuni- ties for getting permanent wealth.

men the cycling world ever possessed. He is merchant in the northwest and Minneapolis people-some of them delight in recalling the days when ssJohnny made this and that record" Johnny was a cyclist who made money for himself and a reputation for manager. And the latter has contin- ued during all of these years of hard knocks for the pedaling game, to make a comfortable livelihood out of the bus mess. As skater, swimmer and sales man, Johnson was a success. He in- vented a racing skate that is used gen. orally in the big races, and it is said that the Johnson idea has even gained a foothold in the old country where skaters adhere fondly to the old-fash- ioned rockers"
 Arthur Gardiner, another of the galaxy of stars, has retired from the business and is prosperous dealer in automobiles. It is said that Gardiner realized his ability to ride and felt so aeenly certain defeats. alleged to have been brought about by "team work" against him that he quit riding in dis gust.
 Herbie Githens also has gained a mark in the automobile business. He was rider of no small courage and many a cyclist found him hard to beat. Art Lumsden, one of the most tireless pedalers of his time on the path, went over to England and "got in on the ground floor" in a rubber business, and is said to be very wealthy.

The hauling of gravel from the
Linn county to the Benton comfy
side of the Willamette is complain
ed of from another source. Recent
| ly the TIMES told how the super
visor of the road district on the
other side of the river had lodged
complaint, and that he purposed, if
possible to stop the practice.
Now comes David B. Ogden, as
sistant United States engineer, in
charge of the government improve
ment across the Willamette from
Corvallis, and says that those who
haul the gravel away are subject to
fine of from $500 to $2,5oo. He
was on the ground, and says he saw
load of gravel hauled away yes
terday morning. The gravel was
brought to Corvallis for use on a
building in course of erection. Mr..
Ogden says-that every load of grav-
el hauled from the spot is one more
influence tending to change the
navigable channel of the Villa
mette through the farms to the
eastward. There is a heavy wash
now, he says, at the very place
from which the gravel is taken, and
the removal of the gravel only
tends to widen and deepen the
course that in future may washand
wash until it is deepened so as to
become the main channel of the
river.
Mr., Ogden left yesterday for AL
bany, where he will call the atten-
tion of the Linn county court to the
practice.

From a1l accounts a whirlwlnd
of enthusiasm is raging among stu
dents at the college over the COM
ling football season. The dull thug
of the pigskin as it is kicked and
cuffed about, is already waited
townwards by breezes from the
west. AS early as Monday after
noon, which was registration day,
the work was on. No game was
played, but number of the initial
ed were out for a spell of kicking.
Yesterday afternoon again the op-
Grafton was repeated and the first
practice game was played. Coach
Herbold arrived Friday, and has
already assumed direction of the
work. There is no doubt, from all
that can be heard and seen on the
grounds, that the boys are going
this year to make the effort of their
lives for record.
A new feature has been inaugu-
rated this season with respect to
ticket sales. Instead of the old
custom selling single tickets for
leach individual game, season tick
ct, admitting the holder to all
games is to be issued. 1t is to cost
ST. 90. It will admit the holder to
all games of the season, for which
six are already scheduled. The sale
of the tickets is>to be entrusted to
small boys about town. Each is to
receive five per cent Of the aggre-
gate sales. Each is also to receive
one season ticket for each 10 that
be sells. Finally, the boy that sells
the greatest number of tickets is to
receive a cash prize of $5. The ar
rangement places the cost of a
game at less than II cents, and
offers small boys fine field of en-
terprise.
Of course single tickets will be
available to those who want them
at IS to 50 cents, according to the
Importance of the game.

dead bodies of men and women
were strewn, and the cries of the
manned and crippled were heart
rending. In few minutes the
work of removing the bodies was
begun. AS many of the negroes as
could be moved by the ambulances
were taken to the hospitals, and the
rest were laid out on the ground,
and there the physicians attended
them. At least Is died before they
could be moved from the ground.
Captain Frank II. lO'Brien, ex-
sheriff of Jefferson county, and one
of the most prominent citizens of
Birmingham, was witness of the
catastrophe. He lives within
j half block of the church, and,
hearing the eommotion, went to as
certain the trouble. AS he reached
the front Of the church the crowd
had begun blocking the entrance,
and in describing it he said:
81 have witnessed many appall-
ing sights, but the wild scene at
the head of those steps is beyond
/ description. Wildly excited ne
groes reached the top of the steps
and began falling headlong down
the incline. Others were pushed
upon them, and Notwithstanding
the warnings from the outside the
crowd continued to push. In a few
minutes men and women were piled
upon each other to height Of 10
feet. Presently negro woman
with a baby in her arms
mounted the mass, and, climbing
over the bodies, leaped to the
ground without injury to herself or
the infant. AS quickly as possible
a rescue party was organized, and
as soon as the entrance was cleared
the removal of the bodies was begun.

Der of injured. The majority of

After midnight last night several
bodies of persons who we're crushed
