But it is improbable that the loyal volunteers will have returned from the Philippines in time to participate in the coming celebration. However, it Salem's citizens see fit to celebrate, let definite action be taken at once that the exercises may he imposing as events associated with the anniversary justify. TURNER PERSONALS.

F. Smith Rides a Tinkham Tricyele- Tax Collection Continues -Bicycle Notes. (From Daily, May 17th.) The Statesman recently addressed letters to officers of several Cycling clubs in the Northwest, who have had more or less experience in the matter of path building, inquiring of them the methods and the materials employed in the construction of paths, and the epproximate cost thereof. A reply has been received from B. S.

Pague, president of the United Wheeling Association of Portland. The letter is reproduced for the suggestion, relative to path building, incorporated thercin may prove helpful to the Marion county cyclists in carrying en their path construction work. The letter reads as follows: "Replying to your favor of the 5th. I have to state it is the desire of the Wheeling association, and which will, I think, be granted by the county commissicners, that all paths be built for winter as well as summer use: to build in this way the following must. be done.

The paths should be as free from turns us possible. The width should be six feet, and the sides of the path straight, nc ragged edges. A scraper should be used cut to the rcots of the grass, Care should be exercised that the earth is not disturbed on which the gravel is put. A six foot path should have a two inch crown; coarse gravel should at first be put on the path and then rolled with a heavy role, then fine gravel, almost sand, should be put on the former half an inch deep. At road crossings it should be raised and plenty of coarse gravel for base used.

Dirt paths, without gravel, are no good. Paths should be built for not over $100 a mile. A culvert should be crossed by a bicycle bridge, which is really a picket fence laid on supports. Paths should de built by contract. using specifications, and an inspector who understands his business.

Our path, now under construction, is being built by the road supervisor, under the direction of the commissioners' court. "I hope that a path will be built from Salem north to Clackamas county line so that we will have a path from Portland to Salem by July 4th." The collection of the bicycle tax continues very slowly, but five receipts being issued yesterduy, increasing the total number to :140. recent arrangement of the commissioners' court, relative to the of the bicycle tax fund, local wheelmen predict that the Jefferson cycling 118- sociation will discontinue its fight against the tux and will cheerfully li'quidate the amount 0: the assessment. W. I.

Staley, of this city, secretury-treasurer of the United association of Cyele Clubs of Merion county, recently received a letter from 6 prominent wheelman at Marion, who stated that a delegation of Jefferson waited on their club and solicited the co-operation of its members in testing the bicycle tax law, but the visitors recelved no encouragement from the Marionites all of whom heartily endorse the tax, which the majority of them tave gladly paid.

Martin, A. 21. meeting of the Salem Cycle association to determine the most feasible route for a cycle path to be constructed through this city connecting the Aurora and Jefferson paths, will report at a meeting of the club to be held tomorrow evening in the police court room.

The route that will probably be recommended by the committee is as follows: Beginning at the city limits on North Winter street, thence south on west side of street to Willson avenue across the avenue thence down the east side of Winter street to Mill street, east on Mill to Fourteenth, thence south to Mission end east on Mission to city limits. This route is considered the most feasable by the committee for the reason that the proposed path from the intersection of State and Winter streets to its southern terminus is rarely crossed bye a regularly traveled street. Gecrge I. Smith, who for several years has been badly crippled by reasor. of rheumatism, recently invested in a Tinkham tricycle, and has abandoned the chair in which he has wheeled himself so long.

The tricycle is built very much on the same principle as the youth's velocipede, but is equipped with the modern preumatic tires. By his new machine, Mr. Smith is enabled to navigate about the streets much more rapidly than before and the exercise derived thereby will prove beneficial to him. FOR A Cumberland Presbyterian church, located on High street, near Marion, and which has recently been used by the Seventh Day Adventists, has been removed to the rear of the lot and will be used as a hay and grain by Savage Reid, the feed dealers, who recently came into possession of the Property. The parsonege, which was located beside the church building, will be moved to the center of the lot, remodeled and enlarged and made ready for occupancy.
