of more than ordinary lOveliness." a
Portland correspondent, continuing,
writes:
She endeared herself to all who knew her
by her many personal and social attractions
The floral tributes from her classmates of
Park school and the beautiful designs from
other friends attested the general esteem and
love in which she was held.
The remains were laid in River View
cemetery, hard by the beautiful Willamette.
Though gone from earthly view the memory
of her loveliness will never fade from the
consciousness of those who knew her best and
loved her most
Sweet Dora Is not dead
She only Sleepeth now
So calmly rests her head
SO fair and white her brow
We weep, yet know not why
Knowing she now is blessed.

The idea that the JOURNAL hasa pick
at Council is stated i'll the ForUm for Il
purpose. That is evident. Let us extend
its own idea further. The ForUm has
no pick at Council, and to carry out
its programme, can have no ''pick' at
Council. The latter can do what it
pleases with the peoples interests, but
it can never offend the Forum. Now,
what sort of .tri"Nd Of The J,copLc is the
ForHm! The JOURNAL, however, is
friendly to both Council and people in
this-it wants Council to do the right
thing, both in its own and the interest
of the people. And now is the time to

SO intertwines with the others that, al
though there are six attorneys interested
in the tangle, the traditional Philadelphia
lawyer is absent.
The proposition to declare dividend,
share for share, is hardly feasible, for
after the lawyers get their $3.50, the sum
of 800 is not divisible by without
dragging in cents where it is desired only
dollars shall figure.
The commissioners could not decide
the matter last Tuesday and unloaded
by agreeing to file an inter pleader,
which carries the contest into the equity

WESTERN PLAYERS TO ENTER NATION
AL CHAMPIONSHIP IN FORCE.

Reports received yesterday from Chicago. where
the Western golf championship tournament has
just been brought TO a close, indicate that the
entry from Western clubs in the national cham
pionship contests at Atlantic City will exceed that
or any previous year "A canvass OF the leading
competitors has shown practically all Of then,
Will come East for the Atlantic City meet Hobart
Chatield Chatield-TayIor who was largely in
strumental in having the championship date
changed from July to September has made
strong appeal TO all Western clubs, urging them to
indorse the change by sending their best men,
The news has caused uneasiness among
players here for the reason that a larger entry
means greater difficulty in getting the qualifying
round through before dark. 1t has come out that
the September date is not altogether pleasing to
some OF the Eastern cracks.
In choosing it the association has certainly not
consulted the wishes of Travis, the amateur
champion has expressed himself strongly in favor
of spring date THE best time for the cham
pionship in my opinion he said the other cay
lis the last of May the first of June. The days
are then at their longest. the are at their
best, and the weather is neither too hot nor 100
cold" 1t is generally acknowledged among golf
men that the fall is the worst season of the year
for greens, as the ground is dry and the grass
hard and wtry. The most important objection, in
TraVis's mind, however, is the shortness of the
days With field of more than hundred play
ers, each OF whom is obliged to the full
eighteen holes 10 qualify, 1t is virtually impossible
TO set through before dark No steps have been
taken otnclaILy 10 provide for this dihculty at
Atlantic City, but from player who stands near
the executive committee 1t is learned that the
same e~DedIent that adopted at Hollywood
may be tried. All failing TO make certain score
In the morning round Will be excluded from TAX
Ing further part
1t has been suggested that the association elm
mate the qualifying round entirely and thus do
away with the entire evil. but this has not been
received with favor although in the championships
abroad such a round is unknown, all competitors
being drawn Immediately for the match game
Travis, who has just returned from two months
visit there. is particularly strong in his condemna
ton of the suggestion When asked his opinion
the Garden City declared, 1T has been found
to work too well TO think of abolishing it. As a
matter of fact players the other side would
like 10 adopt II were IL not that they are wholly
bound down by tradition. 1t is conceivable that by
match play alone very weak player may work
his way TO the finals, and that the good players
may be punched together. and so knock each other
out IN the earlier rounds Besides apart from this
I see no possible advantage in match play
pure and simple. Perhaps the best way TO limit
the number of entrants is TO allow only the first
sixteen qualify II must not be forgotten that
Il IS a championship affair"
