First Natl Bank at Rawlins and r.
A. Smiley, two of the members of the
Hot Springs Hotel Company, have
been over from Rawlins this week,
looking after the interests of their
property here. They are both quite
well pleased with the outlook for the
coming summer and have planned
many improvements, the carrying out
OF which will beautify the grounds
and benefit the patrons of the hotel.
They are contemplating the project
OF fixing up the large island in the
river, opposite the hotel for "a picnic
ground and pleasure resort. This
will require the erection of a foot
bridge across the small channel of
the river, between the island and the
main land.
They have also arranged for "a re-
survey of the lots belonging to the
company and the placing of them on
the market. They have had II num-
Der of calls for lots from prospective
purchasers. They are making pre-
parations for the completion of the
irrigating ditch which is to cover the
hotel lawns and grounds.

An Electric Light Plant Assured.

Saratoga will have an electric light
plant within the next 80 days. Ne
gotinns are now pending and the city
council will be asked very shortly to
grant n franchise for that purpose, to
a good responsible company, and we
believe it will be granted and the
plant an accomplished fact within
the time specified. In this connec-

add that water works will speedily

Reports Light Snow in Mountains.

William Turnbull, who has been
up in North Park and through the
mountains south of here, reports the
snow fall as exceedingly light and
thinks, as a result, that we are going
to have very little water. He says he
rode all over Independence mountain
and that there is not to exceed four
or five feet any where on it, where,
heretofore, the snow has lain from l5
to 20 feet in depth. He predicts an
early spring and a shortage of water,
as he says he does not think the snow
is nearly sc deep anywhere on the
mountains as usual.

Helen Keller's First Earnings.

There is a pretty story in connection
with the series of articles which Helen
Keller, the wonderful blind girl, has
written for The Ladies' Home journal.
telling about her own life from infancy
to the present day. She always has
shrunk from the publicity which follows
successful literary work, and it was with
great difficulty that she was persuaded
to take up the task of preparing her
autobiography. She had. however. set
her heart on owning an island in Halifax
harhor for 4 summer home, and in II
spirit Of fun the editor OF The journal
offered To buy it Tor her, or to provide
the means to buy it. When the work
OF writing appeared especially irksome
Miss Keller was reminded of her desire
to become II land holder. and it spurred
her on. just before Christmas she com
pleted the first chapter OF her marvellous
story; and on Christmas morning she
received from her publishers a check
for n good round sum. Her delight may
be imagined, for this was the first mon
ey OF any account which she had ever
earned. at is a fairy tale come true"
she said. Whether she will really carry
out her plan to buy the island remains
to be seen.

is very urgent that all who are will

CHANGES IN CHAMPIONSHIP METHODS
AUTHORIZED By EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

According to Maturu BalloU, the recently elected
secretary of the United States Golf Association.
objectors the plan of conducting the ma
tonaI championships must fall into line If they
would play at all. for the executive committee Is
determined make a thorough test of the now
method and will insist on its observance at the
GIenview tournament. The committee was unani-
nous in approving the change and, though local
golfers have not been strong in their indorse-
ment could be wished they have decided To give
it fair trial. The new plan provides for the en-
largemeut Of the qualifying round from thirty-two
to sXty-foUr players. The chief objection is that
while the professed object of the change is TO do
away with vexatioUs delays incident to a big field
of starters its effect Will be 10 increase the induce
ments To enter, and so aggTavate the very trouble
il is hoped to avoid.
Mr.. BallOu Is preparing a revision of the bylaws
TO embody this change. and expects to have 1t
ready for distribution to the clubs in few days.
He is also preparing circular 10 both associate
and allied clubs, specifying the constitutional
amendments Ia be voted the special meeting
OF the association be called soon. These amend
ncuts VIII do away with the distinction between
the two classes of clubs and put them on par
both as to obligations and privileges. The new
yearbook of the association will he issued until
the changes in bylaws can be Incorporated and the
