as large as those which have turned
out on several road race days in the
past. However, everybody had
good time.

tion road racer and cyclist, who has
won first prizes in several of the an

hero of the day and in the great race
he won the first prize. He started
from the scratch but easily passed
all of those contestants who were
given handicap time. The special
train following the course of the
racers was filled with enthusiastic
spectators and the riders finished at
AIlenwood in the presence of great
. owd OF cheering people.
The route covered was the same as
in past years, from Basalt to Glen
wood Springs, a distance of 23 miles.

hour, / 5 minutes and so seconds. He
captured both the time and the place

t7s0, ,ooo. Harris began life with a charity school education and head for figures.
 Mir. Cooper was originally a stone mason in the north. and he commenced his career as a bookmaker by making a copper" book on piece of waste ground in hls diniitr hour. From this humble beginning he in time rose to be one of the leading operators, every one who went racing being acquainted with the firm of Cooper and Rowson.
 Mir Rowson, who pre-deceased his partner by two or three years, left only about s4O0,0O0. but he probably spent as much as that on his family. the Injuries of life. and in charity. MT Cooper, unlike his partner. was a bachelor. with inexpensive tastes. It was not to boolxmaking exclusively that he owed his great fortune, though that provided him with the means of mak- ing money in other directions. Among other things, he was an extensive. land owner in Cheshire.
 There are several bookmakers whose resources must surpass even these of MT. Cooper One member of the pro- fession is a manufacturing stationer on a very large scale. while two oth- CTS have vast steel interests which yield shem a fortune every year.

pre-eminently superior to any law ever enacted in the United States for the preservation and protection or the forests The State Commission of Forestry should continue to dissemi- nate useful information among the people. that will awaken them to an active interest in the preservation of their woodlands.
 Within a decade. practically every vestfge of the remaining virgin for- ests in Alabama will have been cut away. hence the problem which will confront the people of the State Is the care of their second growth grow ing timber which in time. if proprely treated. will develop into commercial trees. The whole nation has awaken ed to the imperative importance of the conservation of the country's natural resources. whether they be in mines. waterways. game. fish or forests; for the erstwhile abundance of these herit- ages with which Nature has so lav- ishly endowed the American people has has caused us to neglect their proper care, forgetting that even Natures store house some day may become ex- hausted

The de- struction of the forests will bring floods and likewise droughts; scarcity of timber and lumber for building pur- poses will impose hardships unrivaled in their direfnl effects; even now wood for fuel in some sections of Ale abama is becoming alarmingly scarce While we ourselves and our contem- poraries may never fully realize and appreciate the look-ahead embraced in the work of this commission to save the forests of the State, yet future generations will cherish sentiments of the profoundest gratitude for our la- bors to guard. protect and transmit to them at least a share of their btrthright.
