Rochester has a municipal law requir- 

 ing all bicycles owned there to be registered, 

 the fee for which is 50 cents. A license tag 

 bearing the number is attached to the han- 

 dle bar of the machine. Over 13,000 have 

 already been registered. 



As to the commercial value of this indus- 

 try, it is somewhat out of the line of Recre- 

 ation's regular order of business, but as 

 this magazine has an immense circulation 

 among all classes, and is showing such a 

 vigorous interest in the people and the field 

 sports of this state, we hope to attract the 

 attention of the press as well as individuals. 



The writer and other sportsmen of the 

 state have tried repeatedly to get at the 

 readers of the state newspapers through 

 their columns. The sportsmen's press, as a 

 rule (with one or two exceptions, Recrea- 

 tion included in the latter), do not open 

 their columns widely to the sportsmen of the 

 northwest. 



We are frequently misunderstood in our 

 request for space, and wrong motives are im- 

 puted. We are not desirous of trying to 

 boom a locality, or to decry or run it down; 

 nor to gain personal notoriety ; we simply 

 see a danger ahead, and are willing to use 

 what feeble strength we may have to avert 

 it. We see undeveloped wealth, and wish 

 to call attention to it, having no personal axe 

 to grind. We simply wish to improve our fel- 

 low man's condition. 



Some of us are sick to death of appearing 

 constantly on the same strain for perpet- 

 uation of species, but there's nothing like 

 "keeping everlastingly at it."
